assassins lack much counterplay like adcs

most champs are actually fighters are something close and much of the game is balanced around such balanced champs however the game tends to be decided more by champs that have less stats and more specific steroids like assassins and adcs

However, unlike adcs its really obvious when an assassin has just absolutely destroyed you and this makes players cry moar

Important note Part of the reason assassins are so obscenely strong in low ELO is because they are typically countered by support, but people in low elo don't appreciate the support role or know the first thing about it really. They think support is just a ward bot that doesn't get to play usually but then can't figure out why assassins keep shitting on them

Zed is op ATM Le bl is fairly balanced Rengar is To opressive when fed Out of stealth deletes arent fun Fizz used to be more abnoxious trollpole nerfed now he is fine... still you should hate him Ekko is not a problem Katarina is a problem in low elo and in case some high elo smurf booster picks her. Seriously this should be banned in low elo (idk what you guys are banning)

Uh, no. Zed is gutter trash. LB is meh without extensive experience. Rengar is meh against anyone who knows actually how to play against him. Fizz is worthless right now. Ekko is somewhat strong/bordering warning levels. Katarina is utter trash.

zed is at 10%+ banrate globally I agree that she is meh if you havent fully mastered her But I did.. so There are rengar OTPs in high elo They can show you how meh he is Fizz is fine Ekko is strong? What? He is fine as ap in toplane but thats about it just fine and viable As katarina main completly disagree she is scary in right hands

What does that have to do with anything?

"rengar OTPs" Well yes you could say that for an OTP of just about anything. There's that Urgod guy for instance. Fizz is entirely single target, squishy, and worthless past assassinating single targets and running out. With a weak laning phase to boot, making him worthless without extremely extensive experience (takes over 125+ games on average). Ekko is plenty strong in the right hands. AP Ekko mid is fine too right now, and he has a good winrate/experience linear relation. Yes except she's worthless in anything past low ELO.

So you are trying to say that urgot is not viable rofl? More viable then half of the roster Nah Fizz doesnt nesserly need gold to be relevant. Thats the beauty of fizz. and you dont need that many games to know how to fizz

As high elo katarina main my performance with her says otherwise Ap ekko ussualy doesnt get to ulti at all and just dies . Champion is viable but not in teams with lots of burst and cc

They're based around instantly killing you while giving you as little time as possible to react and forcing you to look at a grey screen. When the correct counter play is "stay ten miles away and have half of your team never use any of their CC or skills until the assassin enters the fight", it's not very fun.

All the flashy mobility assassins tend to hog to themselves so they can outplay you less because of skill but more because your own champion literally hasn't got the kit to react doesn't help either. What's an immobile squishy gonna do when an assassin jumps on them if flash is down? Don't worry, all the super delayed and telegraphed CC that most new champions get will stop them (There's a reason I hate the Taric rework)
