We have as many assassins as we'll ever need

We have ranged assassins, we have melee assassins, we have assassins with low, repeatable damage with high all in, we have assassins that can 100-0 you. We have assassins with only one gap closer, we have assassins with 3.

Now they're releasing assassin that can be full tank instead.

At this point, is there a SINGLE mechanic that you could give an assassin that they don't already have that wouldn't be incredibly toxic? They're releasing balanced and fair mages, supports, and bruisers. I don't see that in the future for assassins.

Can we be done releasing them? If there are eventually 300 champions and the same number of current assassins, maybe they'll be the exception in games and not the rule.

But they haven't made an assassin with an AOE stun, 3 types of slow, a heal, a shield, a movement speed buff, a dash and 2 blinks yet.

Oh wait...

If we work under the assumption that Assassins are able to burst someone down faster than they can react, then they haven't.

They made a strange AP fighter with a kit like that, though.

At least he's got some delays.

Some assassins can 100-0 you in less than a second. 3-4 seconds is more fun imo, gives you time to react.

Are you talking about Talon lol....you know you can always just stand outside his E range if your reflex is that of my grandmother's.

Ekko is toxic, whether he is weak or not.

any champion could be considered "toxic", your opinion regarding toxic champs is meaningless, Ekko is weak, this is a fact.

"Could be" but you'd be wrong. If he's ahead, he's unbeatable. The only counterplay is "don't stand on his echo," but see, he doesn't need it to kill you, and you can't always do that in an all in. He steals your MS. K.

I also conceded that he was weak in my response, so your "he's week, fakt." looks retarded.

If an assassin gets ahead, they are supposed to be unbeatable, its called snowballing, an assassin's only function.

Tanks have counterplay Mages have counterplay Marksmen have counterplay Assassins are the only ones that don't when ahead.

I can go 20/2 on Talon and still get locked down by a single Taric stun and popped within 1 second. Also, assassins are feast of famine, either they crush everyone or they don't do shit, like literally.

And that's the problem.
