I did not like LB's point-and-click oneshot...

...but how is she now an assassin, when she can't burst anyone without her mark proc and it takes 1.5 s to load, but she's so squishy every marksman can kill her under 1 second? And if not, they kill her right after the mark appears so she needs to run just to nearly live in most cases...

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE her new kit, but Riot specifically said they're adding the window of reaction, but that it will be around 0.5 s, but LB's window are those 1.5 s, that's triple the statement!

Also when we're at it, could you make some way of LB's ult R giving her an assist when she pushes an enemy into your allies, or would the be free-assist farm early that Karthus or Raka have and Riot doesn't like?

In general one of the big goals of the assassin-update was to give opponents a small window to retaliate(how good they managed to achieve this depends on the assassin).

Now you'll have to weaken your opponent first or think of a way to not get killed before you can proc your mark,which is why her R gives her now a few more ways to confuse opponents.

Well you know, when you face isolated opponent marksman, which just because of obsolete damage creep three-hits you with autos, you don't kite them, that's impossible, you can't dodge AAs. You can run, which is ridiculous, because you're supposed to kill them. Hell they kill me before the E triggers, they don't even need to try to break it, while I have almost no things to do in the moment I'm trying to proc it, they just kill me (ofc there could be situation I can do something, but they're rare and it's 9/10 marksmen's stupidity, not my skill and outplay).

If this is goal for assassins, then other reworks like Rengar etc. failed or ADCs' burst per second needs to be lowered.

Yeah,they obviously failed to achieve this goal on some assassins,thats why I said

how good they managed to achieve this depends on the assassin

But that doesn't mean that their goal was inherently wrong.

Their goal was good imhpo, only that it failed because Rengar and others still - you and LB just can't kill anyone late because the window's just too long (ofc it works when enemy team ignores you).

Except at lvl 2 if you land a chain ,you can 100-0 enemy champ.Lb right is very strong.I wont be suprised if they nerf her in next patch.her dmg is just fucking insane.Even high elo players like scarra ,bjergsen said she prety op in early ,mid game.I dunno i played like couple games with her.But i remember 1 game ,where late game i 1 shoted enemy adc with a single E+passive combo...that bitch just exploded lol

Yeah,they still need to finetune the assassins,but now they have a base for that in LBs kit,she now has tools in her kit that are basically made to give her burst a small window of opportunity,something she simply didn't have before.(likewise Rengar now has to build stacks of ferocity in a fight,talon has to built stacks that deal dot and is rewarded for not using his E as a gapcloser and Kata gets rewarded for preparing the battlefield with her blades before going in)

Yeah, on lvl 2 yes. But in teamfight it's impossible if enemy team has half a brain, you either stay too close to them for too long and die, or do nothing at all. She's so reliant on the enemy team...
