AP Assassins are becoming obsolete

The last thing League of Legends needs in its current state is more buffs to AD champions, specifically AD assassins.

With the newest release for AD Carry items, unintentionally the AD assassin's were buffed as well since they can benefit heavily from using the items made for AD Carries. The new items provide great attack damage, high movement speed and critical strike chance for those who need it.

_ (Who was already broken before hand) _ received a huge buff and with some builds + runes can reach a 100% Crit chance. _ (Who required skill before) _ has become broken and is increasingly becoming more popular due to the new AD carry items, personally in my past five games each of them contained a Zed. Now we want to buff him even more?

What happened to champions like and other AP Assassins?

They are falling off and becoming irrelevant because they can't keep up with the new AD centered items and masteries, yet Riot still feels the need to give NOT JUST AD ASSASSINS, but any champions who are AD access to this new item as Brofresco said "a Zed ult"?

Meanwhile, all AP characters essentially build the same items every game - Death Cap, Luden's and Morello/Athenes, there is hardly any options or versatility for them vs. their counterparts.

The state of the game is becoming more favored towards AD champions and if not giving the player base much choice with what is 'fun' vs. what is viable.

In my honest opinion I feel like Riot should be focusing less on more AD items, and more on balancing the ones released.

If all else fails, a few tweaks to DFG or a new AP item entirely seems like one solution to bring AP assassins and AD assassins back to the same level.

However, it looks like AD champions will be dominating 6th season - I guess we'll have to accept that.
