Assassin

An Assassin is a champion class designed to kill a single high-value target as fast as possible. Assassins combine high mobility — dashes, blinks, or stealth — with heavy burst damage, letting them dive the enemy backline, delete a carry, and escape before the rest of the team can react.

The payoff for that explosive damage is fragility: assassins fold quickly if they are caught out or focused. They reward decisive map awareness and clean mechanics, which is why they are a popular but punishing class to learn. Many players practise high-burst assassins on a fresh account before committing them to ranked.
