Why assasins dont work in LoL (only if rly broken)

-If viable a good assasin player can punish enemys fast and hard for every mistake (pubstomper) Riot tend to nerf those guys into oblivion (Rengar/Shaco/Nocturne) or release them with crappy stats (Zed/KhaZix)

-Defensiv items scale better than Damage items (AS-Debuff most broken of all stats + Pen% vs PenFlat (gettin fixt for S3)

-Thx to strong comeback mechanics broken heroes can recover at every point of the game (huge bonus exp for killing high lvl enemys / less bounty for feeding / farming > killing heroes)
