"We're going to reduce assassin burst so a full combo takes 1 second instead of <0.25 seconds"

Jesus is Savior··5 votes·613 views

How are they going to balance the "burst" to happen in "about 1 second" instead of "about 0.25 seconds" when things like Master Yi exist? A fed Master Yi with an AD/crit (not bruiser) build can insta-delete squishies in less than a tenth of a second with his Q > AA combo, and in less than 0.25 seconds with his Q > AA > AA combo if the first AA didn't kill them. A fed Lucian can do the same thing. Master Yi is a "melee ADC" and so isn't included in this assassin update. Lucian is also an ADC. Why are champions like this allowed to burst harder than assassins after the update? And how am I, as an assassin, supposed to deal with a melee ADC that can kill me in 0.25 seconds if my combo takes 4 times as long (1 second)?

I don't think Riot is thinking things through with this assassin update. I might have to quit the game afterward, because I'm not part of the ADC master race.

You mention Yasuo, Viktor, Vlad, Azir and Diana. They're combos are so slow it's easy to counterplay if you have ANY CC.

Zed's mark takes longer then a second to detonate and finish his burst combo. It takes 3. Zed is a better assassin than Yi and pretty much always has been in every meta LoL's gone through for the past ~4 years.

Riot has proven they're more than capable of loading the meta with champions that adhere to their design philosophy while keeping champions that don't under the radar.

A fed Master Yi with

A fed anything can do ridiculous stuff because they're fed, having a ton of power relative to other champions.

Balance has to do with champions on an even playing field being even. Balance inversely tends to dictate carries with 6 major items and no boots are going to obliterate a no-item assassin.

As cute as your 1 spell 1 auto OHKO scinarios are, any respectable assassin when fed can also do those, especially with items like Lich Bane and Luden's Echo being things.

yeah zed marks take 3 seconds to explode..

who cares.. you already know your going to die from it after .5 seconds, just because the explosion is delayed doesn't mean there is anything you can do to stop it. soon as that swirly appears above your head its over...

Not if you're a support main, you trust your support, you have any defensive skills, you have any healing skills, you're pal has any healing skills, you have Zhonya's, you've got nearby minions to life-steal off of, you have Sterak's...

There are a lot of ways to not-die from damage you 100% know is coming and can prepare for.

Master Yi already takes 3 seconds when extremely fed.
