I mean...come on Demacia.....Everything isn't all swords and shields and straight up confrontation.
Seriously though, I wonder if Demacia have a Assassin organization. I mean they have the recon ala Quinn. But no get in get out people? Hmm. So if a Noxian were to infiltrate Demacia, would they be able to know or not because of not practicing stealth.
Astôlfo4 votesIsn't the whole point that Demacia is all about honor?
Requiemsfire3 votesWell for a nation of justice, there would be no publicly known assassins or guilds for that matter because striking from the shadows is seen as cowardly. It would be more acceptable to challenge them in one on one combat.
Sharjo1 votesI mean that's how Fiora does it, and presumably how a lot of big squabbles in politics might end up being settled if they escalate far enough.
zrWQMdGHtY2 votesThe difference is that the Noxian assassins are public, the demacians are like our current real life state... They on theory don't exist, but if they are needed they magically appear, do the job and disappear and nobody talks about it and obviously it's made to look like it was an accident or stuff... Meanwhile Noxus gets pride of such achievements, so the assassins there are well known and boast, about it and stuff like that... Maybe one day you'll see the hidden assassin of demacia... "caught in action, by one of the losers of Noxus" :p
GenoXx1 votesI can consider this. After all, demacians are hypocrites. Meh, well only time will tell

Beyond Legends1 votesDemacia probably has spy and recon organization but I don't think they have a special assassin guild of sort.
GenoXx1 votesThey should though. Otherwise other nations could really mess demacia up from the inside
Ralanr1 votesIf Demacia did have an assassin network than it would be secretive to everyone but the royal family to protect their image.
The closest we have to a Demacian assassin IMO is Quinn.
Sharjo1 votesOr Vayne, and even then Quinn's a scout and is concerned with reconnaissance while Vayne's more of an athletic monster hunter; not really an assassin.
Valor Bot1 votesI've always thought Quinn was a bit of both; according to her lore, she specializes not only in "swift reconnaisance" but also "lethal strikes ... The pair's unbreakable bond is deadly on the battlefield, leaving opponents ravaged and riddled with arrows long before they realize who they're fighting: not one, but two Demacian legends."
Which I presume means she works not only by gathering information about her enemies but also swiftly putting down any who threaten her mission. This would make sense; Garen is known to be at odds with Quinn's methods, and killing foes before they even catch sight of you would almost certainly be one of them.
Sharjo1 votesI mean...come on Demacia.....Everything isn't all swords and shields and straight up confrontation.
Of course not! There's also scouting, crossbows, cavalrymen, lancing, fencing, there's a bunch of ways Demacians go about fighting. They're just not about being sneaky or subversive about it. The closest champ to embody that kind of idea is Vayne but hers is a path more alligned with athleticism; she probably doesn't actually go invisible or anything, unlike say Rengar who has his camouflage thing as an active part of his biology seemingly.
I mean, there are no Freljordian assassins, no Shuriman assassins, no Bilgewater assassins (Fizz doesn't count since he ain't a hired killer), and no Piltie assassins, so y'know, it's not like Demacia's alone in that. Noxian culture's probably just more conducive to that line of work considering their approach to the ideals of strength and power.
GreenLore1 votesWho is the 3rd assassin you are referring to?I mean the first 2 are obviously 
and 
.
Are you referring to Katarinas dad(since he is an assassin in the lore) or to 
(as she is an assassin in terms of gameplay,even if she isn't one in the lore)?
Anyway I could imagine that Demacia has some assassins whose existence is hidden from the general public,because it would taint their image,though I imagine that they simply aren't as well trained as the noxian assassins,because demacia as a country doesn't have that much experience with assassination techniques.
Craft Zeppelin1 votesbasically insulting someone in the public and making a scene on purpose then challenging the said person to a duel is the equivalent to demacia
Rindin141 votesAssassins is one thing, but what about strategists/tacticians?
Personally, I would love to see a Demacian counterpart to Swain. Someone who is just as cold and calculating as Swain, but without the cruelty and bloodthirst. Perhaps going with the "justice above all else" angle that is common in a paladin?
