I'm really tired of people saying "Why is/isn't ___ in Hunt of the Blood Moon?" so...
Reasons why they may or may not be in Blood Moon:
- How do they function when everyone is an assassin? There's very little clumping, so any champions who wield most of their power with or through a team (ADCs, supports, ect.) don't really fit and aren't fun to play, even if they have assassin attributes.
- How do they end up functioning with the ultimate ability on a hugely reduced cooldown? It may not be fun for people who are playing against them. (Nocturne's ult is annoying when it's every 30 seconds)
- How do they build with no defensive items? Elise and Pantheon are surprisingly assassin-like when they don't have the option of building lots of armor and magic resist.
- Do they fill an off-niche? It's explicitly stated that though some of the 20 are off assassins, it should not be possible to make a team of that off-niche.
- Do they have too much CC, especially AOE CC? That absolutely ruins the assassin fantasy. Ekko has some, but it's not nearly as core to his kit as, say, Zilean.
