Idea Assassin Rework #100000

Assassin​

Armor:



Inventory:




Abilities:

Items:

Iron Sword: Does 1.5 hearts of true damage and applies the wither effect (dark heart coloring only). Critical hits do 2 hearts true damage.

Steak: Heals 4 hearts

Dagger (Shears): When right clicked, shoots an arrow out. Deals 2.5 hearts of true damage and slows whoever it hits for 1 second, 4 second cooldown.

Shadow Dash (Repeater): When right clicked, teleport's the assassin 10 blocks in whatever direction he is facing. The assassin has the option to reactivate this ability and teleport back to his starting point in the next 4 seconds (think LeBlanc's W). Additionally, the assassins next attack within 2 seconds deals double damage. 8 second cooldown.

StunShot (Wither Head): When right clicked, fires a wither head that stuns anybody it hits for 2 seconds and deals 2 hearts of true damage. Cooldown of 15 seconds.


Passives:

Shadow Stride: When sprinting, adds a speed level every 5 seconds, capping at speed III. (stolen from @elegle_josh)

Killer Instinct: Assassin can see the enemies teams health percentages.

Lifesteak: Assassin regenerates one steak for each kill, capping at 1.




Note: This assassin could potentially insta-kill, if the opponent does not steak.

(Shadow Dash+Dagger+StunShot+2 Sword Hits=10 Hearts)

 

You people arguing about whether assassin is the most OP or not, stfu. This thread is for feedback on the idea, not the class as it is right now.

And assassin is broken right now, either too good or really bad.

So feedback pl0x.

See, but that's the problem. Like I stated, assassin is either too good, or too bad. There is no middle ground. Because of the current blocking mechanic, assassin will either kill it's opponent or die, but that's it. It's not like ninja, where it does damage and then dies, it just dies or kills. Really bad counterplay. That's what makes it broken, not OP or UP, broken.

 

It's broken because it's stupid. The 50/50 chance shouldn't exist, it should be based off of skill. One class shouldn't get out mostly unscathed like that. In addition, the faulty blocking causes some people to die even when they block, making the 50/50 chance seem really unfair. It's just not good for the game.

Also, I main assassin, and have played it for a couple of years. I can get past a block pretty easily, and that is just not right nor fair. B4d counterplay.

 

The tp is on a 8 second cooldown, and this has no armor. In addition, the speed stops scaling and resets if sprint is broken, so this would be pretty bad for capping.

A TP to the flag carrier would also be OP as f0k.

 

That makes no sense. Just because it's a bad concept doesn't mean I don't like the playstyle. I mained assassin because I like playing it. I don't play it outside of team matches now because I just find it unfair. Just blockfake and kill them it's not hard. And yeah, I am getting kind of bored of it. I mean, there's no variety to the class.
