Why do assassins need a Banshee's Veil that provides more damage?

Same reason they need an item that counters all mages passively while not hurting their build path or damage at all

That's not "more damage" that's just damage. It's basicly the offensive banshee's veil,without HP,HPR and less MR. However banshee's veil takes 40 fkinng seconds of our of combat to activate,while Night's edge is 1.5 seconds of out of combat and lasts up to 10 sec

Every assassin except four are meh at best, and you still find a way to QQ?

These boards never cease to surprise me.

because else broken mages are even more broken

It's a sad day when yenn's opinions are so garbage that he he needs to get validation from bronze.

Assassins are meant to counter mages first off.

Banshee's give more def stats too.

Banshee's doesn't have a cast time and lasts until destroyed, EON lasts 10 seconds.

Because people are too busy complaining about Redemption / Turret FB / whatever is labeled meta right now.

Doesn't matter all that much, AD assassins can use it seing how one or two spells can easily screw them in a teamfight. Stuns, silence, exhaust still working anyway...

And actually, i've yet to see a Zed use it when jumping on a carry. Maybe higher.
