We want the Ashe who just got styled on to think “welp, I got outplayed”, not “that was bullshit”.

Full quote

"We also want to make assassins more fair, which isn’t the same as reducing assassin damage. In some cases, that means giving you more ability to fire back. In other cases, you need to be able to see an assassin coming and try to escape them. We want the Ashe who just got styled on to think “welp, I got outplayed”, not “that was bullshit”."

And yet here I am, seriously thinking that they just gave assassins more tools to kill people and less ways to deal with them.

Say hi

To the people talking about Ashe, this isn't my quote it's from Riot on the assassin rework: here

As an ADC, you should stay away from all Kat daggers. The thing about assassins is that they either fall behind or snowball. But when they get fed, it's hard to counter them unless you have a decent support. Kha is very squishy and doesn't do well in team fights. Rengar is still the same as always.

Kha'Zix is stealth-based now. It's great. Harder to track him down without proper vision. Rengar is now a hunter! Rewarded for killing everything, not just the squishy. Katarina hit the mark as the jumping, dagger-throwing, spinning doom that she's always wanted to be, while having outplay potential and being zoned from daggers by tanks. Daggers aren't mindless now, which is nice, as well as her W not resetting and being pushed 24/7.

Actually, if you actually get to the point where the Assassin is actually fighting you, your counterplay needs to be extremely limited. This is necessary in order for Assassins to function properly. An Assassin needs to be able to always kill a squishy 1v1.

The 'outplay' is strategic, not gameplay skill. Teamwork, proper warding, and map awareness contribute far more to deterring Assassins than people give credit for. Assassins thrive by catching a squishy in the wrong place at the wrong time. Make sure you're never in that wrong place, and you've beaten the Assassin.
