People are making too much fuss over this remake's idea for E. Yes, my idea would give her the ability to run away from battle/ganks. I flipped the bonuses around because there are too many times as  where I feel overly vulnerable during the laning phase in particular.

Even at the default numbers for this adjusted E move, you would still accomplish the basically the same goal with  if you attack right away anyway.

Sure, generally does well 1v1, but getting ganked stops making it into solo duels.

Let's do a quick take on a few assassins in the game and what they can do when ganked.

-  shrouds and hides.

-  can blink to an enemy or slow enemies with his W.

-  (a very respected assassin as far as assassins go) can maneuver away with his shadows.

Basically, I don't buy the argument that it goes against 's design when other champs in the game have the option to use their skills for defensive means as well.

I think giving  some options to work with will help iron out her kinks. Again, as a strictly damage-based assassin/carry without CC,  has to be able to function in different ways.

Finally, 45% movement speed at rank 5 is a lot, yes, but 's W gives significantly more movement speed. And it's no secret that people are playing  more than  (though I am completely aware they are different champs with different purposes.)
