there is an assassin support already

yeah. I don't have total faith that Riot can pull it off because of that twat.

the problem is, Assassins have a hard time having enough CC or healing to be a good support without having too much of it for the damage they have to have to be an assassin. I mean, look at Ekko and how hard of a time they had balancing him, and he wasn't even support-y enough to be considered a support by them.
