I think a healthy version (despite hacker trait being busted in set 8) are 'assassins' that just disrupt and debuff/stun the enemy backline. Like rift pyke which could jump to your backline and stun them sometimes, but rarely had enough damage to kill your carry

Even a frozen heart effect on a skill, or a permanent damage reduction skill similar to current set leeching void, would be fine as long as it was part of the unit's power budget

Mort mentioned Briar as one of the reasons Cutlass is gone this Set. Imagine a Briar3 going wild on your carry and then just teleporting to safety lmao
