Talon, Rengar, Leblanc, Katarina speculations.
With preseason getting closer and the assassin update in the coming future, I thought I'd post my speculations as to how each champion will play after the update. You should tell me your speculations for each champ and which you're most excited for, why and what would you want to keep the same within their gameplay?
Katarina - (Give Katarina more single target damage/Ways in and out of the fight) Passive - Remains the same. Q - Becomes a skillshot, can throw "X" number of daggers, daggers apply a mark, multiple daggers on one target results in 50% damage. AA's pop marks. Landing daggers could give more daggers to throw. W - Katarina dashes in target direction, throwing a volley of daggers. 2 Charges, 1 charge refreshed from passive. E - Still shunpo, refreshes cooldown when popping Q marks. Can't be used on same target for "X" seconds. R - Remains the same, Katarina can cast W during Death Lotus.
Leblanc - (Give higher skillcap/split stats to allow such a passive/reward Leblanc player for smartly positioning and using the clone.) Passive - Leblanc gains a permanent clone, her stats are split 65/35% between her and the clone. (AP, HP, everything.) Clone refreshes after "X" time dead. Casts skills on a 1 second delay from the true Leblanc. Q - Becomes a skillshot. Applies mark, does Sigil of Malice things. Popped by abilities. W - Becomes normal distortion while the clone is dead. When clone is alive, Leblanc swaps places with her clone if within a certain range. E - Remains Ethereal Chains, if both the clone and True LB land the chain, the root is immediate. R - Not sure
Talon - (Bigger reaction window/still no escape/would always finish with E, makes this stale.)
Passive - Talon's attacks and abilities leave blades in his targets. Talon deals 5% more damage for every blade in a target.
Q - Talon throws a blade skillshot, his next auto attack does bonus damage.
W - Remains Rake, a blade is applied to the target on both instances of damage.
E - Remains Ankle CutterCutthroat, Talon removes all blades from his target dealing damage to his target based on the number of blades.
R - Remains the same, applying blades on both instances of damage.
Rengar - (Increase Reaction Window/Give Rengar escape options) Passive - Remains bone tooth necklace/Ferocity. Possibly give stacks for Dragon/Baron/Herald as incentive and a way for Rengar to gain stacks in a dead environment. Q - Rengar gains attack speed, Next three attacks scale in damage. Say 90/100/110%. Damage increased on empower. W - Remains the same. Less burst heal, applies a slow. Gain armor/Longer Slow on empower. E - Remains Bola Throw. Does not snare, and instead allows Rengar to leap to the target again from a range. Including outside of brush. R - Rengar passively gains extreme movement moving through brush. Active remains the same.
These could all possibly be horribly wrong, but I had fun making them. Share your thoughts, and what you think will happen to each of them. I'd love to hear! I'm most excited for
and
personally. But depending on how
gets changed, I think she may be really interesting.
