I play mainly both mages and assassins when I can get away with it, and as an assassin player the least of my concerns have been mages. It's always the ADC that can kill me faster than I can kill them in the mid game. The fact that I no longer have mid game powerspikes to leverage before the ADC comes online. And the fact that supports can so easily save the ADC from my delayed burst, giving them time to heal up to full off auto attacks.

this meme makes me sad and laugh at the same time with how true it is.....i love riot but i hold a deep resentment with how they favor ADC's i would go so far as to say a deep hate (a love and hate relationship) it ruins my day when i see mage nerfs when mages have always just been "meh" with a few and maybe cancerous outliers Heimerdinger Brand Malzahar

"Mages are a problem. Please don't pay attention to those ADCs with sustained burst damage, the best items in the game and defensive passives for no particular reason"

Yeah, can't really play assassins anymore.

I remember 2-shotting Zed as a fed Vayne one week ago. It was indeed disgusting but oddly satisfying at the same time. Not saying I support this though, I really don't.

Now you see people. How many assassins are played in the LCS?

Yah this is the balance team focusing on the 0.0002% of players in pro play ..... again.

Meanwhile Zed is the most banned champion in the game despite his winrates lul

People dont like assassins ok the evidence is there

Please, stop. The mages adjustment is part of a bigger plan related to the adjustment of Marksmen during Mid season.

EDIT: I HATE the state of ADCS but I am telling everyone to simply calm down instead of making pointless threads about them, better keep your guns steadily aimed with the trigger ready for the midseason update.

If you have trouble killing an ADC as an assassin, you suck, you're behind or you misplayed.

Even mildly behind as soon as you get item 3147 you can start to one shot. It's not uncommon for an ADC to get killed in 0.5 seconds, or in a low CD combo or even literally one attack (cough cough Rengar )

For the past 1-2 seasons i havent had any problems playing assassins, they do well into every match up, they're reliable to get in / out, they're slippery and they nuke. They do everything they're supposed to.

Mages have been too strong tho, i know people hate when you mention LCS, but theres a reason they're the only class played mid. They have a strong push, good roam potential and scale well with a safe(ish) early game. Mages need a nerf.

ADCs? Are the problem? No. I can see why you would think that, but can we can a different look at this? The ADC is not the problem. It is the Lulu that hits R on their adc and then polymorphs the assassin. It is the Janna that can click R can knock assassins back and then shield the assassin's entire burst rotation. It is the Nami that hits R, Q, W, etc. to make the assassin suffer. These supports are peeling the assassins away from the adc long enough for adc to fight back. So, no, the ADC isn't the problem, it is the support. Supports are who propel the adc into their "carry" statuses.

Honestly, I don't get why Riot is messing with mages to fix assassins. The biggest issue of an assassin is late game and dealing with the enemy ADC's and their personal bodyguards, the supports. If anything should be done, it should be on ADC's and/or supports lmao.

i bet they will make infinity edge dont increase overall crit damage but make crits ignore some of the target armor and any other crit still delete all squishy champions...
