Damage isn't the only reason assassins are broken. It's not like they're impossible to kill or deny them kills. They're broken because of how many resources you waste in doing so.

chipndip15 votesThis post is so bad and somehow it got an upvote.
The Kombinator2 votesThere is a bit truth in it. Assassins truly became extremely powerful. Most of them go in, DESTROY you without emergency, and leave. All of these in 2 seconds.
Now in order to win you need 2 things. First you need emergency to survive. Enchanter supports shine at this, but somehow people don't like them. Love to see the Zed jumping on the "easy target", then save him/her with Lulu ult+shield+poly.
However saving your teammate is still just a draw. Since the assassin escapes easily, and even worse. He has lower CD, than your emergency. Even without CDR their CD is on even level with 40% cdr support's stuff. With CDR then can do it damn often. Lux can full combo in like every 12 sec..
So as second to make it win you also need to kill the assassin. And the ONLY way to do that is to CC, and nuke. So you had to use a bunch of emergency, AND a bunch of CC on just one assassin to make his kill attempt a fail.
What happens when you face 2 assassins?

Exactly. Oh, you prevented assassin number 1 from getting a kill? Too bad your adc's flash is down and your support's exhaust is down now. Now assassin number 2 can jump in and clean up.
Magnesium143 votesIn other words choose any of these broken champions:
The Kombinator2 votesMany people often forget that it is a team game. Many people states, that assassins are balanced, because they can be beaten on lane, and especially in low-elo they shine, because there is no team protection.
An assassin kills a non-tank enemy, and escapes in like 2 seconds. Let see what you can do about it.
You need emergency to survive the burst.
You need CC to kill the assassin.
Having one of these can make it draw. You need BOTH to make it a win. And short CC is usually not enough. With all the reaction, and casting, and reaching times. You need at least 3, or more seconds.
What makes it worse is, that Assassins have much lower CD, than most emergency. Lulu can negate a full assassin burst with ult. But it has 48sec. CD even with 40% CDR at rank3. Zed ult has 60sec. on it's own. 36sec. with 40% CDR. Lux has 40sec. on it's own. So a 0 CDR Lux can use full combo more often, than a Lulu can use emergency with 40% CDR.
Now okay. You get an enchanter support. Which is kinda unlikely, because kids prefer mages for killing, or Pyke for same reason, and you get enough CC. You beat one assassin. Now you are going into the rest of the enemy with CD on most CC, and emergency. Or even worse, if enemy got someone to engage, and team wastes these on it. Or they got 2 assassin.
Summoner SpeII1 votesAssasins need to be busted to make proplay exciting Try to change riots mind. IMO assasins are balanced except qiyanna and akali, and they are getting nerf soon

Yet the only Assassin's who are relevant in pro play are Akali and Qiyana
