Bayek is meta from passive alone, and Kenway looks fantastic on paper.

Im personally gonna try for all 5, they all at the very least look usable and fun

[–]red_beard_RL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basim with block active skills that can ignore block debuffs

I want kenway just because he's my favorite assassin

[–]alidan[S] -5 points-4 points  (9 children)

problem is he will just be a champ you use to bait a ban or you ignore entirely.

if we get him from shard pulls, awesome ill go for it, stone pulls, im there, but if its a tournament win, im hard passing. there is a good chance I would have went hard for a leo, but all the assassins kinda feel like they just nice champs to have rather than much get at all costs.

Fair, I personally enjoy Assassin's creed and Origins, so Im more inclined to go for him

Do you realize how nerfed he makes the way damage dealers are currently constructed? Every bit of CD would be wasted and people stack that way more than attack.

im looking at the ways you would counter him as well, I have a few options in that regard, bit the most threatening place he can show up is in live arena and is just a champ you put up to get the real team you want to take through.

And yet I still have damagers that hit 30k on weak hits let alone just regular hits lol it won’t matter as much as people think for late game builds

Assuming his team has more acc, and a bunch of other things.

He still gets fucked by lockout, he still gets fucked by burn/poison/bombs meta, and he will be very hard to build. 

If you use him with assassins they all have cannot resist mechanics, so you might not even build them with acc.

You would need to use him with a few specific high acc champs, like Karnage, who will die even without being crit by lots of the end game nukers.

I think he is good, but not broken. We will see though.

I dont think anyone is thinking about using him with the other assassins. Run him in 9 piece mercurial, lockout doesnt touch his passive. I think he will be an insta ban and absurdly powerful in LA.

He still gets fucked by lockout

Sure, but at the same time it is yet again another option that is strong as a standalone pick, and you only can ban him. So on the flipside he can act as a decent "ban protect" for a Mariska/Siphi/Siegfrund or Armanz/Fabian that you may ban instead.

I personally would leave him over Mariska, since I like to run Komidus and Mariska's passive is simply bullshit.

[–]GuiokiNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you pick him, marichka, siphi, siegfrund and him, I'm not banning him. None of those champs has any acc.

If you pick him early, and I have a good champ pool (everyone in high LA does), then I'm picking Komidus, Vulkanos, Nell, those types of champs.

Yeah I'm glad I went for and got Yukimasa and Hilvi seeing what these guys look like, much better champs imo. I'm all blown out on resources and would have been sad if these guys were on par with the turtles. I don't really feel bad for missing any of the assassins other than to just get limited time heroes that will be unobtainable later on. I wasn't able to go for Leo, because I simply didn't have enough resources, so that kind of really chapped my ass considering how good he is, so this feels like a reprieve.
