Assassin Rework

"Assassin damage needs to not happen literally in the blink of an eye. Providing opponents with a short window (even if it is fairly brief) allows for reactions to even be possible. Currently, some Assassins deal most (if not all) of their damage in the literal instant they arrive at their target which can lead to moments that are extremely unclear and one-sided."

Given your explanation of an "assassin" they should be called "bursters" from now on. The point of an assassin is to kill someone in an instant, but if played correctly you can kill the assassin with ease whether in solo or dynamic q. By taking away this perspective of an assassin, it will completely change the aspect of the game, for there are multiple ways to counters assassins. (I) Banshees, Zhoynas, etc. (II) Vision (III) Peel (IV) Focus I totally get where you are coming from because I main Leblanc and can kill someone in one shot, but assassins have the highest level of difficulty and if played incorrectly, they are useless. The rework will hopefully help them but please don't change the position that assassins currently hold in league of legends.

People whine and cry about assassins too much instead of just learning how to play against them.

I think assassins should have extremely low health (1.2k?) in return for doing that much damage all at once.

i think katarina is one. q w e rinse repeat is just too easy. maybe turn down the damage quite a bit but instead give her lower cds giving a better window to counter attck. just an idea

if assasins as a whole die ,then squishy mages and especially ADCs will run rampart ,with no one to gapclose and kill them in chance

The definition of an assassin according to google is a murderer of an important person in a surprise attack....., so I think that they should not being able to lock down oppenents Ekko , becoming unkillable Fizz , or can easily escape Zed , and a true assassin is someone like Rengar who surprises people and kills them. Based on the current power and everything in League this cannot happen
