techincally ekko is the best assassin to have on your team.

Because even if he falls behind he still has the massive utility of pararell converance which can insta-win teamfights if you hit enough players

even though he won't be dealing any damage

Assassin Diana.

she skips entire enemy team and melts your carry in under 5 seconds

she has built in tanky-ness with her shield

5 seconds?

She does rengar level of burst rofl. I've been 4/0 lucian and literally 1.2 seconds 0/5 diana with abyssal amp tone oneshot me.

im giving enemy benefit of the doubt building tanky.

lDontLiftIcarryAug 18, 20152 votes

probably because you refused to buy a BV as a third item against a diana that has 200+ ap.

Why does KDA have anything to do with damage lol.

If she has 200+ cs she ahas 2-4 items by then so why does it matter if shes 0/20 or 0/100?

dont compare that lunar goddess to that toxic cat that needs to be nerfed

BlastumzAug 18, 20157 votes

I think that would be comparing apples and oranges. If Diana (and i'm quoting the op) "falls behind" she isn't melting anything.

hyper carry not a assassin and ekko still has better utility.

disregardableAug 18, 20152 votes

hyper carry isn't a role and riot thinks he's an assassin. he sure has more damage than ekko.

the knockup itself is easier to hit and if he ults it's just as long.

LuggAug 18, 20154 votes

If Yas hits 3 or more people with an ult, it's the League equivalent of an "I WIN" button.

BluePolarizerAug 18, 20153 votes

no they don't. He is a fighter primary role and his champion highlight was a mobile, high damage fighter that should also build some defense. For assassins, riot straight up says they should build glass and rely on mobility and positioning to survive.

I played Ekko top blind pick against a Riven. I fed hard but we won the game after i built all my armor items XD

SolusInCadereAug 18, 20152 votes

This.

Ekko is so strong. If he is ahead, he can face roll and kill everyone. If he is behind, he can face roll and let the rest of his team kill everyone.

Seriously, his guy has an MS buff, a dash, two blinks, a slow, an AOE slow, and an AOE stun, plus Katarina levels of burst. WTF

BisaknospAug 18, 20151 votes

dont forget that he also got a heal and dps

SolusInCadereAug 20, 20151 votes

Yea, LOL, I forgot the healing enteirly.

Also, I forgot my biggest complaint: his full burst combo can happen while the enemy is stunned. If he lands his W stun (via his E) the. It's GG becuase he can 100-0 you during the stun. That is stupid OP

AstroFerrari Aug 18, 20151 votes

I agree, his utility is fantastic. Although I kind of hate laning against him hahaha

But even when he DOES NOT fall behind, he does not snowball as hard as other assassins, and he's not the best at acually diving the enemy carry. He's definetely not the best "assassin", but his utility makes up for it.

I think he's more like the safest assassin, not the best.

Zed is pretty safe too, because it's difficult to actually fall behind with him.

Yes, but when Zed is behind, he tends to be a burden for your team, unlike Ekko.

A Miss FortuneAug 18, 20151 votes

Can't Ekko do like 1,500 damage with one auto attack with his passives + Lich Bane late game.

Pretty sure he has damage and can snowball too.

MinrogAug 18, 20151 votes

Vayne best assassin. Doesn't get behind like Ekko does, melts tanks/towers/objectives, and can sometimes 1v2 or 1v3 after level 6. Stealth and great mobility too.

SolusInCadereAug 20, 20151 votes

Ekko doesn't get behind. But in the event that he does, he is still a face melting god. Vayne is nothing without farm and kills

LankPantsAug 18, 20151 votes

It's the same shit as Ashe or any tank top or utility mage mid. That's why you always pick these champs if you think you'll lose early.

Correction, eve is the best assassin to have on your team, can build bruiser tank AD, has AOE shield ult and can pick off squishies who go out alone.

AP eve doesn't count though, its inferior to AD eve and AD eve can also build item 3116 for the HP.

SlaktarTaskenAug 18, 20151 votes

No, best assassin is Riven, best adc is Riven, best apc, Riven, best jungler... RIven..best tank........ Riven, and best support..................................... yes people, you guessed right, it's Riven.

Meep ManAug 18, 20151 votes

What about Malzahar? I have always thought of him as a Ranged Assassin since he is all about focusing down one target yet still has an AoE 3 second silence.

OrangesilkAug 18, 20151 votes

Assassins are supposed to get-in, kill someone and get-out, Malza will most likely melt someone and die a glorious, heroic, death.

You confused ekko with Jarvan

g07h4xf00Aug 18, 20151 votes

What are you talking about.

Ekko consistently builds full tank and does a retarded amount of damage.

Dr PoroAug 18, 20151 votes

Statistically, Talon is the best assassin to have on your team because he has the highest winrate.

This doesn't necessarily mean that Talon is the best assassin. But if a random player that you know nothing about picks a champion, it's statistically better if that champ has a higher winrate. Once you look up their lolking, it might turn out that him picking Zed would be better than Talon if he performed significantly better with Zed in the past.

SolusInCadereAug 20, 20151 votes

This is utterly false. If a person who has no Idea how to pay is to pick a champion, then it is best for them to pick an easy champion. Win rates mean very, very little, and they very much do not mean ease of use.

lDontLiftIcarryAug 18, 20151 votes

ekko has been broken since release like basically every champ since season 2.

NekusenAug 19, 20151 votes

even though he won't be dealing any damage

then he is not an assassin, he is a tank or at most, bruiser

SolusInCadereAug 20, 20151 votes

Except that is when he is behind. Assassins do not damage things when behind, not even Ekko. But when Ekko is behind, he still brings a ton of CC and utility to bear, unlike all other assassins
