Good AD Assassin Champion?

Hey guys, I am currently looking for a good AD assassin champion, with some really high burst. So far the ones I've looked at are Yasuo , Zed , and Talon . If you guys can give any good advice on which champion to get please let me know, and feel free to add any of your favorites.

However, on a side note, do you think Yasuo will be hit with a nerf in an upcoming patch? I've seen some amazing yasuos, which look almost unkillable, and some horrible yasuos that die in a second. This is clearly because of his high skill cap, but now that people have started to really get good with him, his ban rates have risen dramatically and is starting to considered one of the most OP champs in the game.

another champ to look into is Kha'zix. He is an AD assassin with pretty big burst combo.

If I remember reading some PBE patch notes, I think the only thing currently changing for yasuo was like the amount of flow he generates or something on one of his abilities? nothing major last i checked

Zed is a Really fun Ad Champ. Brutalizer and Botrk and he hurts really bad. And As he Keeping getting more gold the damage output is has is ridulous. He also is a good farmer and has good mobility and spliting potential. It just might take you a Few games to bet good with him. if you want to try him I suggest armor pen red and AD Quints. Also Starting Dorans Shield can help you as well.

Yasuo Does not look like he's getting nerfed soon, because he relies extremely hard on your skill, and (sometimes) your team. However, while he can be played like an assassin, he's more like an AOE Melee ADC than an assassin.

I think you should consider the AP assassin side of things. Katatina is the first obvious pick, but there's also LeBlanc, and both champs played correctly can insta-burst a tank.

In my opinion if you want an AD caster that seems like he has EVERYTHING play Kha'zix. I used to main him for a while and it was due to the fact that he has a massive jump that has a reset, amazing execute ability, insane single target damage, good waveclear, a great heal (sustain), and a stealth that doubles as a 50% damage reduce for the stealth duration.

I mean what doesnt this guy have? Hes hard to run from, hard to chase. Hard to kill if positioned correctly and can 100-0 an adc, caster, and some supports in under 3 seconds. In my opinion he is one of the most all-around champions in league of legends, right next to kayle.

My personal favourite is Rengar. He has incredible burst with his Q and multiple Q combos. He has sustain from his W which can be used to bait all the kills. Got enough CC for a duel with his E. His Ultimate is an awesome escape, combat use, hunting and killing ability. His passive just makes you scary with some practice. He can easilly blow up a squishy. He also has really fantastic split push ability with his q letting him take towers in one fell swoop and then combinations of his passive, e, and ult will let you get away nearly all the time. Then he can build down multiple paths, so if you find that the whole assassin role just isnt going to work, it is pretty easy to respec him for a split push or a off tank bruiser role. Idk i just think his adaptability is worth quite a bit especially in a solo queue situation.

Khazix Great burst, leap reset, squishy, hard to handle

MasterYi Reset capable, can survive teamfights, good escapes, vulnerable to silences

Quinn More of a ranged fighter, but plays similar to an assassin at times

Rengar Easy as cake ambush with ults, high sustain, great jukes had in bushes

Shaco High burst, high jukes, high mobility, relies heavily on shutting down others

Talon High burst, good escape, silence, squishy and less mobile than others

Zed Great late game, high mobility, high skill, decent laning, vulnerabe to silences

Yasuo will definitely be visited by the nerf bat, but I think it's his passive that will be hit and not much more. His damage seems ridiculous but without his passive up he has the same threat level as Master Yi. The passive late game (680 shield I think) is a little silly if you build him glass cannon.
