I feel Assassin Mains are generally more toxic compared to other people

Assassin champions have the highest kill potential in the game. Consequentially they also do the least for the team, as their kit lacks any form of CC or utility. Their toxicity likely comes from their better than average KDA, where K > D + A, and are likely to flame and blame their team if things start going south. Assassin mains are also notorious kill stealers, waiting for the right time to finish a low health opponent instead of giving it to the person that actually deserved the kill.

To solve this, I propose we give Assassin champions some reliable CC.

I would like to point to LeBlanc why this is a bad idea. Her chain is the most complained thing about her it seems. Also changing a classes kit does not change a player's behavior. Toxic players are going to be toxic, that's just how the world is. That is why I use the mute button ;)

and I would like to point to Ekko's slow + MS steal (plus very unreliable stun but he suggested reliable CC) to point out it's not necessarily a bad thing. The execution of the kit matters most.

He's a perfect example of turning assassins into tanks and being godly because of the cc he had.

Because Riot fucked up the numbers.

After his rework, he's one of the best AP assassins in the game, just under LB (permabanned) and Kassadin.

Also, that was partially because Fervor was broken. Turned a lot of champions into bruisers that were meant to be assassins.

"Give assassins reliable CC"

No. Just...no.

That basically just makes their job much easier as a high risk, high reward class and we already have enough CC in this game. It would make them much more frustrating to fight.

Now, while assassin mains are indeed second only to Yasuo and Riven players when it comes to toxicity, it's really hard to see how giving them CC solves the issue.

Also, there was a time when popular assassins used to have reliable hard CC. It was taken from them for a good reason.

I feel Vladimir mains shitpost more than any others...

Giving assassins CC? Leblanc chain anyone?

I would disagree and agree. Sure I can see your logic but as a Leblanc main I can get ahead and roam early game but my job is to help the carries get fed mid to late game while getting 1v1 picks. Not ksing. Every assassin Main knows that they can't carry late game no matter how fed they are besides kat.
