I swear there are 4-5 assassin comps in every game. You can't play anything that relies on a backline. I was high plat 2 yesterday, now I'm demoted after losing over and over again to assassins. It doesn't help when my go-to anti-assassin champs (Kennen, Morg, Lissandra) don't show up or I don't get Guardian Angel. One game I had a 1 star Akali (1 star after being hit by my 2 star Jinx with Cursed Blade) 1 shot my 2 star Jinx who had Phantom Dancer. Jinx had PD, CB and RH. Akali had 2x IE and GA. This is out of hand. Please fix this riot. I literally do not want to play anymore because of this.

imo the main issue are the crit items. Assasins without them are strong but can be dealt with, but as soon as just one IE is involved, they get out of hand, and with double IE they can easily oneshot any tank, even a 2* cho...

People wanted them to be broken again (guess the Ninja & Assassin times weren't enough for them), so they made Evelynn and Katarina an instant remove the enemy units. :) Assassins & Shapeshifters are the only currently viable builds right now, good luck getting either of them. ;) Personally I liked the Noble meta the most, because yeah, full Noble was pretty disgusting but the chances you could get that far was pretty low. That was the time when quite many builds were actually viable, but here we are again at the assassins!

I believe they're giving them a slight nerf next patch. PBE has some changes live.
