It has always puzzled me why assassin's are broken, why they feel like cancer to play against and why Riot spares them the nerf bat and give them little slaps on the wrist.

They are 2 main reasons why, but first lets go over why we believe they are broken.

Why we think they are broken: >Tons of damage (Especially early game) Lots of Mobility Periods of invulnerability.

Why they really are broken: >Little to no telegraphing on all thier abilities. (Icon/VFX revealing what they are about to do (Unlike ) yet are notorious for having the shortest cast times.

>Minigames are too easy. (Both Akali and LB apply marks via single target rather than skillshot... Which is dumb whereas shen needs to let his blade pass thru someone for the damage bonus)

The lack of telegraph is an interesting and probably correct point. The reason why Zed is, "a balanced assassin" is because he is very telegraphed (though I still hate his ult).

Rengar used to kill you before you noticed the exclamation mark. Talon's stealth ult can come out of nowhere. LB's dash looks so fast that you can't even tell.

And Fizz is just a nuisance.

Why do people defend assassins? They are so troll and actually are the only class the game can truly live without (Not saying I want them removed) that shows how bigna problem they are.

Assassins aren't broken. There is large amounts of counterplay to all of them, and when executed properly, they can be shut down.

What counterplay?
