Can we talk about how the "stealth assassins" have the worst stealth??
are the 3 big champions that IMO, have game play around sneaking around, disregarding or avoiding enemy vision to kill their opponent 1v1. In more than a 1v1, these champs tend to fall short, but 1v1 they are supposed to do well. Its how they feel, how their gameplay is setup and how their lore portrays them.
Yet, in game, these champs fall short of that feel, especially versus other stealth using champs. For 1, eve and rengar get camouflage, which means that pink wards still see them. For Rengar, if he uses his ult to try and kill a lone enemy champ, that champ immediately know that Rengar is coming to kill them, and its time to GTFO. For Eve, if she uses her stealth to setup her conditional W, then it betrays her stealth, and otherwise its just a slow. For Shaco, he gets a small window of invisibility. Which is a lot more than these other 2 champs, but using his W betrays his position as well, and unless fed, shaco has a hard time killing his target even 1v1 in the mid-late game.
Not to mention that in order to engage, all three of these champs need to get into melee range, with Eve and Rengar losing their camouflage before they even make it there. And Eve and Rengar have no way out. Its a 1 way trip.
Meanwhile,
all have far better stealth once a fight has started, and can use this to disengage, with some of them having far better single target DPS and all of them having better mobility.
And everyone's favorite trash rat,
. He gets all the advantages of camouflage, but with a better detection radius and not being melee. So he can open up on you from beyond detection radius. Meaning that 1v1 you are definitely dead without having any warning (it lasts 14 seconds, he can go a whole lane cloaked) and 2v1 or 3v1 he still might kill all of you because of his huge AoE damage.
Riot, is there ever going to be anything done so that the champions who actually meant to be "stealth assassins" can actually be that again, and their enemies are going to either have to deal with that or group to stop it, or can the other champs who do their niche better be changed so that these champs can actually be played again.
, or all in dive when the enemy has
or
, or chase the
in the bot lane when the enemy has baron pressure. Its just not something you do
