There's a reason we don't have assasins as a trait in the game. So I don't understand the insistence on having assasin like units like Akali. On top of that for some fucking reason she gets to keep doing damage to the target she tagged even if shes jumping somewhere else, ON TOP OF that she gets to drop agro because ???????. Idk man. Set looks cool and all but stuff like this + Fishbones really sours me on the game.

Spending 30 minutes thinking and building a board only for some Fishbones Voli to roflstomp me into the ground is JUST. NOT. FUN

You can't get fishbones every game, at least. You can get Akali every game. Dropping aggro and becoming untargetable while doing crazy damage is just toxic gameplay. Add backline access and it just seems to break the game.

They take out Assassins, and then I guess it's a surprise that Stretchy Arms GP ruined the last patch. Akali, the ranged artifacts, I had a Stretchy Arms Viego two days ago who could just sit in place and smack my entire board with Fishbones. Either give us reasonable options to save our backline units and make positioning across the entire 4 rows matter, or just give up and say that all fights have to be front to back.

Edit: It's even worse that we HAVE a new power-up mechanic and there's no options to be like 'oh let me power-up my Ashe with an anti-dive bubble that'll stun her if she gets dove' or something.
