So when can we stop only gutting AD Assassins?

I mean honestly, the balancing for AD Assassins compared to AP feels so horrid.

Leblanc's rework is a success, and she averages 2 seconds to kill you, but the 2 second wait results in a literal 1 shot. Revert her to Q R'ing you late game and say her waiting wasnt healthy for her. (This is a full kit revert.)

Rengar community cries over the new kit for a year. Throughout the year Riot nerfs the kit, calls the Rengar community babies on reddit, and when they finally revert it, it's only a SOFT revert for a PORTION of his Q, removing the bonus Attack Damage it used to give in favor for attack speed.

Evelyn's rework is constantly becoming problematic from no where, almost always resulting in her being a top tier. Nerf nothing to just a slight base damage nerf

Talon's rework literally makes all of the old OTP's quit the champion, and he is never reverted. All of Talons rework release bugs also still exist to this very day except the "HUAH! HAH!" spam from rapidly using your Q.

Ekko's rework was literally just a passive tweak to kill Tank Ekko. Why do AP assassin's get constant love?

ap assassins dont even have items tho, ad assassins got a whole new stat and 2.5 new items

Zed also got almost no change in the assassin update, and Rengar was treated like a god compared to Fizz. jinxylord/august worked on rengar for like 7 patches in a row trying to make him feel as good as possible. meanwhile neurocat half-reverted fizz W and left him with a garbage kit just to give him extreme numbers changes to get him around 53% win rate and call it a day. now he has 0 picks 0 bans in over 100 worlds games, and he basically hasnt been touched in competitive or high elo since 8.16 XD

How about we just delete the assassin class from the game

I agree, lets gut all assassins together.

When it's not insufferably unfun to play against them?

Riot can be pretty damn toxic sometimes

LeBlanc from my POV is reverted back to brain dead, you W, Q-R and W back to win prolonged trade. Making her R revert back to last ability cast and having her clone on passive again cleared out a lot of her outplay potential. Rework felt great, revert didn’t.

—to the buffing comment; it’s also pretty obvious they’re buffing Khazix pretty hard to get more out of the skin sales

I am probably the only person in the entire world to say this, but i actually loved the rework Rengar and Leblanc. (though i HATED when Riot nerfed rework Leblanc W so that you would just spam QRQ). Again im probably the only person who loved the reworks on those 2 champs.

Ekko never had a "rework" and nobody ever even tried to say it was one

I think the reworked LB was just straight out problematic.

Thanks to her passive, she could wave clear from W->Q because that was toxic they continuosly nerfed her W, until they put power back into Q, which got continously nerfed as well because it still provided good wave clear, that and her laning pattern was worse to deal with because of how that passive worked.

She W's in, then just W's out, and now she zones you until her passive wore out. While she wasn't particularly good high elo, because she'd usually be bursted before she can burst you due to that lock out, she was definitely problematic on lower elo, and when Gunblade became her first rush, made it even worse to deal with
