Changes I would make towards assassins.
WARNING: HUGE ASS POST.
Cast times.
Solutions:
- Remove all cast times from all assassins.
- Have cast times lower with spell level.
Akali.
Gameplay pattern went from:
-
Buy starting item and 9 million pots.
-
Poke with Q a shit ton of times. AA to proc passive
-
Hide in shroud when they retaliate from poke.
-
After first back revolver, all-in.
-
Step 3 doesn't work? Poke and all-in.
-
Get 1 kill. Snowball in another dimension.
-
Don't stomp? Fall off like a gay guy off a mosque.
-
Feed? Worthless for the rest of the game.

Solutions:
- Lower base dmg on all abilities.
- Increase scaling with spells.
- 4/5/6/7/8/9 seconds with her shroud.
- R2 3 seconds > 5/3/1 second.
Fizz.
Fizz has no W or passive. "Fizz players didn't like staying for 2 seconds. We have him an on-hit buff. Has to stay in contact to use it."
Solutions:
- Give him a passive.
- Revert W to pre-6.22.
- Make his W a new spell.
Duskblade.
Get duskblade or you're trolling.
Solutions:
- Revert it.
- Delete it
- Rework it.
- Remove dmg.
Katarina.
Balanced. Unnecessary cast times. Scales into a dumpster fire.
Solutions:
- Remove cast times.
- Have dagger drop time scale with lvl/points.
Sudden Impact.
Stupid in laning phase. Useless pas laning phase unless snowballed.
Solutions:
-
10 Lethality and 8 Magic Pen > 2 Lethality and 1 Magic Pen.
-
Every dash/blink/teleport/stealth attack permanently grants +1 pen. Dashes towards enemy champions grants +2 pen. Max is 30 Lethality and 20 Magic Pen.
Assassins scale more at the cost of laning. Makes up for the loss of pen runes during pre-season.
Ekko.
Too much effort for little reward. Too much waveclear early. Falls off hard.
Solutions:
- Q deals less dmg to minions. Minion dmg scales with points.
- Revert range nerf from ult.
- Have W %dmg scale with lvl or scale with E. 3% > 3/3.5/4/4.5/5%.
- Revert stun duration nerf on W.
Rengar
Trash unless deleting you in 0 seconds.
Solutions:
- Revert him to reworked version.
- Give him a new Q.
- Give him an escape.
- Give him cleanse back on W.
Shaco.
Q, E, and passive are shit.
Solution:
- Keep his W and ult.
- Delete his passive, Q, and E.
- Replace Q with similar ability.
- Delete his passive.
- Give him AP scaling on all his abilities.
- Give him some AOE. Forced to buy tiamat every game.
Ahri.
Same with Akali.
Solutions:
- Rework her passive and W. Zoe has her W but better. Movement speed on a ranged assassin is stupid.
Kassadin.
Too many keystones make his laning phase bearable.
Solutions:
- Remove FFW.
- Grasp goes from 5% to 2/5/8%
- Remove corrupting pot.
Evelynn.
Too easy to proc charm.
Solutions:
- %magic resistance shred > flat resistance shred.
- B. Lower the %shred a shit ton early. Free void staff at lvl 13 what the fuck.
- Charm only procs off Q and ult.
Kha'Zix.
Theme is isolation. All abilities benefit from isolation. Relies on duskblade + passive to erase someone OMEGALUL.
Solution:
- Remove duskblade/dmg from duskblade.
- Revert to pre-assassin rework.
Wukong.
Statmonkey. Rework.
Changes:
- Keep ult and W. Remove everything else. Improve W.
Leblanc.
Same with Ahri/Akali.
Solutions:
- Revert to assassin rework.
- Have delay on passive scale lower with lvls.
- Increase scaling; lower base.
Patheon.
Useless past laning phase. Even = Useless. Dollar Tree 300 Spartan. Brain dead gameplay. Toxic laning phase.
Solution:
Rework everything besides ult.
Diana
AP Rengar with breasts. Confusing class.
Solution:
- Rework her to an AP skirmisher. Never had an AP skirmisher.
- Improve her assassin gameplay. Get rid of her 0.00 gameplay.
Quinn.
Anti-melee but useless past 20 minutes.
Solutions:
- Rework E.
- Rework W.
Talon.
Passive reliant. Abilities do no dmg.
Solution:
- Lower passive dmg; increase scaling.
- Lower base dmg of all abilities; increase scaling.
Zed.
Too much delay. W CD is centuries.
Solutions:
- Lower base dmg; increase scaling.
- Remove delays/cast times between spells and shadows.
Kayn (Shadow Assassin).
No escape. Short ranged as Rhaast xd.
Solutions:
- Give him an escape.
- Increase range on Q with AD.
TL;DR: Lower delays. Lower base dmg; increase scaling. Rework old champions. Improve delays with levels.
