Idea Assassin replacement

Thief​

Armor:

Items:

Class Changes:

• Redstone is renamed to "Steal"
• Stealing does no actual damage.
• When Steal is activated the Thief becomes vulnerable
• All players who are hit by the Thief while stealing lose all steak or healing items (Chemists lose all their Instant Health Pots, Mages lose their Healing Spell, Ninjas lose their redstone, and Dwarves lose all their levels.)
• Can instantly destroy turrets by "stealing" core parts
• Stealing can be blocked
• Succesfully stealing gives the Thief a short burst of invulnerability (Just enough to run away with since the player/players weren't killed)
• Cannot pick up the flag while Invulnerable/Cannot become invulnerable while holding the flag.
• Gains 1 steak and for every successful steal without a cap

Gameplay Changes:

• Assassin is switched from instant killing to a roundabout way of dealing at least 24 true damage which in standard cases is 2 hearts more than an "instantkill". (In Mages case potentially infinite true damage)
• "Loss in damage" is consolidated with survivability
• Gains a snowball health pool that encourages staying alive rather than re-spawning after assassinating.
• Can attempt to capture once large amounts of steak have been collected.

 

You let dwarf poison your mind into thinking that anything that has progression systems are inherently bad.
The difference between dwarf and this, is the reward and the risk involved. The risk involved counteracts the reward.
Dwarf:

• Risks nothing by camping at its base as hard as it can
• Rewarded with extra damage

Thief:

• Risks being insta killed every time it uses steal
• Rewarded with extra steak

I think you should take the time and read over what I posted, and imagine it being implemented, rather than jumping to conclusions.

 

192 killstreak with assassin... Yeah ok. That totally happens all the time.
I do see that losing progress could be frustrating to some people, but this is still a high risk high reward kit. Progress is going to be reset a lot.

No... there is so much wrong with your argument I don't even know where to begin. So I'm just going to fix all of your statements to make them actually true.

Yeah I had a little fun with that, but your argument was based off unrealistic exaggerations anyway, so I'm sure you had fun too.
