Seriously? Wouldn't end without hypercarries? Half my games didnt even have an AGI champion in them. A lot of times I was the only one, on like Bounty Hunter or Drow, who are hardly hypercarries.

dota is no longer centered around hyper carries scaling into late game. that was when 4 protect 1 dusa was the best strat.

hyper carries in dota are usually utter shit early and some require a trilane to baby them. in some versions stuff like spectre was basically unplayable. there are a bunch of tradeoffs to get that hyper carry late game online

I don't know if it's them playing the match-up bad, but from the 2-3 Renekton I've played against with Lissandra it's refreshing not to have to cower in front of him like when I pick Jax or similar stuff.
Still a shitter, though, but if I become better it looks like I may have found an interesting alternative off laner (in terms of how the match-ups play out).
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

Something that 1shots everything it touches is still an assassin to me .-.

Actually Ziggs might have the very strongest burst in the game, especially if the satchel thingy hits.

3rd highest winrate in the game behind Wu and Ziggs, you better believe it. If anything the changes made her stronger, she might be even more of a lane bully now.

She can't insta 1-shot people late game anymore but the added utility she brings definitely makes up for it. At 16 and max CDR she can ult someone every 36 seconds for 0 mana, that shit is insane.

I think to really count as an assassin, there's needs to be little/no outplay potential for the squishy: no way to ever duel them.

e.g. no ADC will ever duel a Leblanc, Zed, Kha in a normal situation. You cannot outplay them 1v1. Whereas Ziggs, if you dodge a bomb you will probably kill him first.

That leaves the question of whether Gragas is an assassin:

So an assassin is a click-a-target champion and skillshot champions aren't assassins? To be frank, this doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to me. It practically means that Zed is not an assassin.

Before we stray into the TL-LoL unapproved "what is a tank territory", why don't we just use the official Riot classifications, which state that neither ziggs nor gragas is an assassin unlike teemo or malz

Not necessarily about skillshot vs targeted. Fizz has an important skillshot but is obviously an assassin. The distinction is the ability to outplay: no ADC will ever duel Fizz on remotely even gold, same for Zed, or damage Rengar, Kha, Akali, etc etc. This is not the case for Ziggs, Riven, Nocturne, etc. where you can dodge/flash/outplay and kill them.
