Try to push up your lane and roam around the map. Assassins shine very brightly in this time.

Mid-Late Game and TeamfightsĪs the laning phase starts to end, you get into the mid-game where a lot of roaming occurs. Attacking them the moment you level gives you the element of surprise, because they do not have much time to react to the sudden level up. Sometimes I even start charging at them while I am level 5 and kill a minion on the way over for the level-up. One common thing I like to try to do is charge at my opponent the millisecond I hit 6. Use this sudden surge in power to take out your lane opponent or roam to take out someone else. When you hit 6, most enemies will not be able to tank your full burst combo + ignite if they are not ahead. Be wary if a bruiser is looking to pick a fight! Level 6 Assassins are weak early game and have no response to a bruiser's raw damage output and base stats. Just because it is hard to trade that does not mean you cannot trade at all! Against bruisers, be careful not to get all-in engaged on. These opportunities arise when the enemy laner uses up their spells farming waves or by trying to harass you. If the opportunity arises, try to harass squishy opponents with your low level burst abilities and auto attacks.

Try to not to get harassed too much by ranged opponents and use your abilities to farm safely. Since most assassins are melee, it also causes problems when they have to deal with ranged harass in the earlier levels. This makes them weak against bruisers who's job is to get down and dirty in your face. Extremely high burst damage after level 6ĭuring the laning phase, most assassins are weak compared to other champions' level 1s.By eliminating sources of high damage output, the assassin's team can easily overpower the enemy team in 5v4 scenarios.Īkali, Ahri, Evelynn, Fizz, Kassadin, Katarina, Kha'zix, LeBlanc, Lee Sin, Rengar, Shaco, Talon, Twitch, Zed, etc. Typically these targets are the enemy AD Carry or mid lane carry. Assassins are mobile champions who's main priority is to eliminate key targets.
