Is it just me or is Riot paving the way for Assassin Only Meta?
Lets get this straight: I don't hate what riot is doing. Now that that's out of the way, let me give my toughts on the current situation of the meta. Riot has been nerfing mages like crazy. Veigar and Kassadin are the most recent examples. While the assassins just get a pat on the back or are left unchanged. It's sad to see that the mage meta is fading away more and more, leaving just some behind, like Xerath. So. What do you think? Do you think that riot is paving the way to an Assassin Only Meta or is this all coicidence?
used to be one of the best AP assassins in the game, but was nerfed hard and now he's considered more of an ad bruiser.
used to be one of the highest-banned champions, but they nerfed her and she's nowhere near as strong as she used to be.
used to be a really scary assassin but with the removal of his silence and recent nerf, he's played more like an AP bruiser.
used to get damage amplification on her e, but that was removed and now she's not as "assassin-y" anymore.
is considered to have been "gutted" by the removal of his silence on his e.
