An assassin is something that can kill quickly...

In my opinion an assassin is anything that can kill you in 3 seconds or less.

90% of champions are currently assassins if you were to ask me.

Change my mind.

The defining feature of assassins is target access.

And kidding aside, what this guy said. Assassins are assassins because they can jump on a priority target, kill (ideally) or deal major damage (if behind), then get the hell out alive (if nothing goes horribly wrong).

So what I’m hearing is Irelia is an assassin.

Nope Assassins aren't the only class to kill quickly Assassins are a class to kind of guarantee killing but quickly

for example , there are burst mages , which are my mains , Ahri Lux Annie They have the ability of bursting you by getting hit by their cc , especially in mid/late game , you will most likely die in 2 seconds if you get hit by their cc If they miss something , they will mess up everything , if you dodge Ahri charm or Lux q , they can't kill you in most of cases , and they can't chase you if they do

While the class assassins , got abilities like Stealth and stuff , and can chase you down till they kill you , the time they take to kill you doesn't matter it's just they are there to most likely guarantee kill you Like Talon he can follow you from afar , he can miss his W , but he can still kill you or Zed in mid game , he can miss q's but as long as he presses R on you and e aa e aa, you will die

How do I say it it's like , in terms of game play Lux can kill you in 2 seconds but she can't guarantee that since she can miss her skill shots and can't follow you

But Talon will kill you no matter what

That's why assassins are assassins

So most mages are assassins as well in your head? How does that work?

In my opinion

I don't know about you, but I can survive longer than 3 seconds in most fights.

Another exaggerated post about damage. Yes, damage is high, but you don't get one-shot all the time. Next.

An assassin can kill you in 0.3 seconds or less Everyone else can kill you in 3 seconds or less

You know, I'm not in the covert ops business in any way shape or form, but I imagine that setting up a hit, a professional assassin would need to prepare for a long time, weeks, months, in some cases even years, and the execution of the mission would take at least hours. So... there. Convinced?
