I've been thinking and there's terms like "tank buster", "anti-mage" and maybe(I don't really know I should call it this) "anti-healing", then also adding to it, tanky tank busters and anti-mage mages(ik there's one, just don't know their name), but what about anti-assassins, let alone the anti-assassins Being assassins? Just seemed like a cool idea, what do you think?
So, you want Janna as an assassin somehow?
So I guess some sort of burst mitigation and/or anti-mobility would be something an anti-assassin assassin would have? I'm not sure what kind of kit would allow an assassin to be good against an assassin while not being great against a more immobile and/or DPS carry.
There are already anti assassins, they are called divers/bruisers. They outduel assassins easily, have almost as much mobility and can easily tank the burst damage from an assassin and counter burn them down. Enter Camille, Irelia, et all. And with how many counter measures items and other champions have against burst (and not sustain) half the roster can counter assassins.
already fills that niche
she can easily outplay/out-trade all assassins and kill them
as a kat main i deal with it all the time
not fun. Flat magic shield and %reduction on top of the % reduction of magic resist. Can't assassinate that but he can assassinate me ;p Also, Irelia is a pretty good assassin vs assassins. lol A lot of bruisers really. Just can reach assassin level burst. Like Riven, wukong
LeBlanc is the Anti Mage Mage So is Zoe, but honestly shes just a ranged Assassin, i wouldn't call her a mage, thats just what Riot calls her
Assassin's rely on their Mobility to be able to kill targets effectively take away their ability to use mobility effectively and you've got ur self and anti assassin
Enter Nubari
take gander.
I designed her to use traps to make it difficult for assassins to move in her area of influence, shes also got ways to knock them back if they do close the distance and lock them down if they run away after a failed assassination attempt. To hit home further on her anti assassin advantages she's got a move that will quickly pull her out of trouble and she and reduce the dmg dealt to her if she attacks 1st. Finally she also has great outplay potential. She herself doesn't have much aggressive mobility, but if she catches you in one of her traps alone ur gonna go down.
I think is the anti-mage mage
All assassins are anti assassins if you try hard enough.
