Just played a game without assassins

It's weird how little snowballing there is when you take out all of the champions who are designed to 100-0 people.

You actually get to use abilities more than once in a fight, and you don't need to build full defensive itemization, only to have almost half of your gold wasted due to pen stats which become more effective the more gold the enemy spends.

champs who are meant to 100-0 people Khazix Katarina Leblanc Rengar Talon Zed Pantheon Nocturne Kassadin Evelynn Fizz Akali

champs who 100-0 people regardless Ahri Annie Brand Camille Darius Diana Draven Ekko Elise Evelynn Graves Hecarim Katarina Kassadin Jayce Jax Irelia Kennen Khazix Kled Leblanc LeeSin Lissandra Lux Nocturne Malzahar Orianna Quinn Rengar Renekton Riven Ryze Syndra Shaco Talon Tryndamere Twitch Vayne Yasuo XinZhao MonkeyKing Warwick Veigar Velkoz Zed Ziggs it's not assasins it's the shitty game balance. All of the champs listed can 100-0 people without a 10k gold lead. even tho the 1st pile of champs re the ones made to do this job.

The difference is that the 2nd list of champions actually stop being able to 100-0 you, if you build defensively against them.

The majority of them anyway.

To be fair, it's not just assassins though, a good portion of the so called "divers" and "skirmishers" who are just poorly defined sub-assassins which are given either short CDs or auto attack modifiers, to do the same thing that the "assassins" have whole kits dedicated to doing.

Why are Rengar Khazix Zed Evelynn Leblanc Talon Katarina Kassadin in both lists?

Also, do you not know what a Burst Mage is? Veigar Syndra Annie

greekvandaL3 votes

because i made a list of champ who SHOULD oneshot and champs who DO oneshot thats why.

Zarvanis13 votes

Than you clearly don't understand Burst Mages.

If Veigar does his combo, and they're not dead, you did something wrong.

greekvandaL3 votes

no champion that isnt labeled as an actual assasin should be able to 100-0 you without you beeing able to react unless the said champ is extremenly far ahead. i'm not gonna discuss this with anyone i wont change my mind either.

Zarvanis8 votes

You should have specified, "can 100-0 before you can react".

greekvandaL1 votes

all of the listed champs do that without beeing more than 2-0

Veigar is the most telegraphed champion in the game, if you can't react to him you can't react to anyone.

q-r dead. also the game isnt 1v1 its 5v5 an aoe stun is easy to land in fights.

In every game I've ever been in with a Veigar it's always been E-W-Q-R dead. Full combo

greekvandaL1 votes

i just seem em press R on me after i drop 50% hp because i killed their carry and then im gone from the map.

INoble KnightI1 votes

It can happen depending on how stacked he is.

Glory ln Death2 votes

That's not 100-0, though. That's 50-0.

His w deals almost the same as ult at medium hp.

Troll for Trump1 votes

You can't react to veigar without flash, or something with a blink. His E's basically meant to do that. His R's unavoidable, and his Q/W will basically always hit in there.

Ever try playing Darius vs Veigar top? You can't do anything. At all. He can still kill you and get initiative, but you can't do sht.

Sad Tyrant1 votes

anyone who plays Darius deserves that treatment due to Karma of them doing it to poor defenseless melee champs.

Troll for Trump1 votes

I do like how Riot reworked Darius because he was unhealthy, and people complain more about his reworked form than his pre-rework form

Sad Tyrant1 votes

The point is, he is bigger dickhead (see; aggressive bully) than Renekton

Troll for Trump1 votes

Has more counterplay than this guy Pantheon

Oh what, "stay out of range"? lol

His pre-rework form fell off, but was annoying because he dealt all three types of damage.

His new form SCALES. Gets FREE AD. And has %hp HEALS.

Why? Because not being able to react is anti-fun? Damn, so I actually was right... Assassins shouldn't exist in this game.

greekvandaL1 votes

if it's your JOB and only viable strat to oneshot me i'm fine with it. But when you can oneshot me with a 6second cd rotation the no sir.

Lauchmelder1 votes

You get 6 seconds to react. If you don't dodge skillshots you deserve to die.

It's like I'd complain about tanks getting killed by ADCs and their AAs in a 5 second timeframe.

you and me both dw. when i've 350armor as darius yet i die like a 100armor kha.

Pretty sure mister 100 armor kha dies like an ant, while darius takes significantly more effort. It's just that kha players tend to put more effort into dodging than tank players who think it's fine to just tank all the damage coming at them.

greekvandaL1 votes

i'm a god at dodging shit since i was and still am mostly an assasin main but guess what no counterplay to shitty autoattacks ehhe adc 2k17 takes skill mb2

Troll for Trump1 votes

No. You're not supposed to be dodging as many skillshots as a juggernaut. Even less so as a tank.

That's why they've got different sizes, and why assassins are inherently more mobile.

Unless you're blocking them for an ally, dodging a few will help you live significantly longer.

Does targeting the tank count as something wrong?

Zarvanis3 votes

Yes. Yes it does.

Unless it's an hour into the game, in which case, nuke the fucker.

As someone who occasionaly plays draven, and usually plays assassins,

If I can't get to their backline, I'll just keep their frontline busy. A draven should have no difficulty keeping anything other than assassins off of him.

i got my own lil secret on that one hehe. make sure to use hyena ww for max effectiveness

Grymmstrike1 votes

Does the skin make a difference in anything? I use the Marauder Warwick skin because I hate the Hyena skin.

greekvandaL1 votes

yeh just like dunkmaster you do more dmg even if you dont actually do more dmg.

Fondling Gems1 votes

It is like psychic damage in DnD. We pretend it is real damage but in reality it is just you mindfucking someone.

NineTailedMystic1 votes

Radiant Damage is where its at tho.

kek

Fondling Gems1 votes

Whimp, our DnD group now has slicing and water damage... AKA our DM accidentally wrote water damage on a staff so now he is just adding random types of damage to cover his mistake.

(If you were wondering slicing damage is like slashing, but extra effective vs salami.)

Sad Tyrant1 votes

full AP?

In urf I found out that with a rab cap and lich bane his Q does over 1200 damage. Add a nashors tooth and some more AP for lols.

Grymmstrike1 votes

Ahhh, I haven't tried AP Warwick since the rework since I heard the AP ratios were jacked over. I remember my AP Warwick being able to 50% with just a Q against someone not building MR.
