@Riot What do you intend to add for Pre-season 6? Will there also be an Assassin update?

Given how Riot tends to do things, the Jungle is going to receive another complete overhaul. This new jungle overhaul will have a glaring OP aspect to it involving laners that people will ignore until a week or two in which case it's rampantly abused because some streamer did it. Even despite the fact they'll receive CONSTANT FEEDBACK AGAINST IT (Season 2 jungle's lack of difficulty resulting in a hyper clear meta (Phoenix Udyr, Mundo, Shyvana), season 3 top and mid lane camp cheesing, season 4 having the exact same problems as season 3 because it was the same damn thing with one extra camp, Smite Swords in lanes/changing things of the jungle that DIDN'T NEED TO BE CHANGED because Baron is now less impactful for a teamfight, Dragon became absolutely mandatory, etc) After it's abused to hell they'll nerf it and suddenly all the "new jungle mains" will go back to doing whatever.

Bitch about assassins and tanks all you guys want, jungle mains are the ones that always get shafted each new season. Not to mention the jungle has one of the most volatile metagames there is, any time there is a new level 2 cheese done in some LCS game, it involves me losing a camp.

If assassin's get updated and Pantheon isn't there, I'll assume he's getting an indepth rework.

Assassin update is the day where I become a farmer in the fields and forget this all happened. The horror would be too much...

Assassin updates farmer edition

Nasus: so guys we heard about people complaining about nasus's OP assassin like burst so we made him into one! check out these changes

Q: unchanged except when nasus is invisible does double damage when invisible. W: Adds drained movement speed to his total stealth duration timer E: Now additionally grants nasus invisibility when fighting in its radius for X seconds, area also increased by 50 R: Now grants nasus 15 seconds of invisibility and is immune to all forms of cc, if you use Wither you auto gap close to the target in addition to applying withers effects. Passive: In addition to granting lifesteal you now also gain 2/6/10% increased movespeed while invisible.

We are also removing 50 HP and 2 armor to compensate for the new invisibility buffs.

Then lol community would never play him cause this is over nerfing to them see Akali never played anymore cause they reduced her ulti range a tiny bit (although buffed her a hell of a lot to other stuff)

I think they'll be doing the mage update before they do an assassin update.

I agree that both older assassins and assassin-specific itemization (or rather, the lack of it) likely need an update, particularly since a lot of them, like Leblanc or Talon , were originally designed with a kit that was intended to reduce counterplay from their victims, and still carry a lot of issues to this day even with the removal of their silences. Perhaps it might not happen in the preseason, but assassins as a class are only a handful of champions compared to mages and marksmen, so tackling them as a whole would likely be smaller work than those classes' respective updates.
