Either the guy falling gets paid in the millions or he works in the world's greatest hospital
when you're trying to appeal to every circlejerk at once
Okay he genuinely deserved being thrown out the window on the second to last one. A mere pink ward doesn't stop Shaco from taking the long way and rigging your escapes with boxes.
" As an incredible bursty assassin with hard CC, just be glad I can't wave clear AND 100-0 you at the exact same time, I can come close, but no cigar."
I don't get what the big deal with Shaco is. Sure, a good one is frustrating, but I just beat a lv 7 Shaco with my lv 5 Amumu and it wasn't even that difficult. Shaco falls off the face of the Earth once teamfights start happening.
A good trick is to immediately start buff instead of Krugs or Gromp and then double-time it to the other buff (unless the Shaco is extraordinary you'll be double buffed and with high enough health to survive his early cheese attempt). Bring some hard engage against him and force teamfights. If he's not fed his 100-0 on the squishy will fail and you can just ignore his baits and destroy his turrets.
Me: Gee, I wonder what class Riot is going to work on next. I sure hope it's divers :D

Come get me in another 6 months...
What is with the boards hard on for Talon? You guys whine and cry about Rengar killing you instantly but Talon doing it is ok? Someone please explain.
Except Zed and Yasuo have really interesting kits with plenty of counterplay O.O
You think I'm joking? Zed's ult doesn't give him up front burst but delays it so enemies have time to react (lifesteal, zhonyas, exhaust). His w has a long cd so if he uses it you can abuse him. He has some range and easy minion executes so he his laning phase doesn't get trashed on but neither should he dominate it. Q can be juked
Yasuo has plenty of mobility which kinda sucks and requires you to understand what his objective is. If you can accurately predict where he's going to dash to (watch your minions to see which he is targeting, or he might be going at you) then deal damage there. Better yet if you're ranged you want to get him on the first dash as he's approaching minions. The first minion is way more predictable than the 2+, if he's already in the wave maybe back off a bit and respect it. He can't get his knockup unless he's in the thick of things fighting so once again zoning properly will help stop that threat, it's also a skillshot and can be dodged. Baiting out his shield and passive is also possible so they definitely have counterplay. In fact I think yasuo was designed to have so much counterplay it's crazy. If the yas is really good then he can wreck but if his opponent can properly punish he can't do much.
And no, I'm a squishy immobile mid lane mage main 
. I'd much rather Talon, leblanc, and akali get worked on because their kits don't have that kind of counterplay. (Theoretically leblanc's kit should be in reality she's generally played pretty linearly so actually having meaningful choice would be good)
Ok, first, Yasuo is not in the "assassin" class. He is in the "annoying dashy fighter" class along with 
and 
.
Second, how did the guy who got thrown out the window climb back up again so fast without any serious injuries?
Almighty.
Being a "not-assassin" main.
I don't get it.
Lets be honest here, the Kassadin Q balance was complete laziness, it says Kassadins Q will stop channeled abilities and that's its passive. But what they don't realize is that in their own game, 2 problems exist:
-
There is literally a rare amount of channeled abilities, and even fewer are actually threatening abilities.
-
Uhhh.. EVERY OTHER Crowd Control stops it too. This is what gets me the most. During Vel'Koz channeled ult, guess what, I got snared, that somehow stops my ult even though im in place(needs testing as it only happens sometimes?). Knockup, Pushing aside(Draven), Stun, Silence, Thrown Into Walls(Gnar) I include slows on this list because honestly if ur channeling an ult and ur slowed ur pretty much dead cause while u were slowed they just walked around it or away from it.
And it doesn't even work on Fiddles ult cause you have to use it before he gap closes with it lol. It really is a joke and I apologize for turning this so serious.
They don't need to give kass a silence for him to be useful.
Just make it so that he doesn't need 3 items to do the damage of a lvl 4 yasuo.
