Assassin Should Have to Uncloak First

I think there's a reasonably strong case that the single best bot clearer, and among the best turret killers who can also one-shot nearly everything might be overpowered.

But it's awfully hard to be sure because the class is populated almost exclusively by terrible idiots who run directly at you.

I wouldn't be surprised if they look at the numbers, find assassins are dying in outrageous amounts, and actually buff the class to make the legions of idiots competitive and make the good assassins living gods.

Not saying they will. Sure hope they won't. But it wouldn't surprise me.

Assassin is OP in my opinion.

With juice all they have to do is sprint across the enemy base with their retarded katana and slash all the turrets to death, then flawlessly escape with their retarded smoke bomb/blind nade escape mechanism.

The main problem with the class is the fact that there is ABSOLUTELY NO PLANNING REQUIRED to escape after initiating attack, as well as it being basically impossible to kill an assassin on time before they complete an instant-kill grapple attack on a nearby teammate, making any connected grapple an essential guaranteed kill thats impossible to stop no matter how many teammates are nearby unless one is a tank with the torch shoved deep inside the assassin's ***.

The worst part of the assassin is when she's juiced with ABSURD amounts of mobility. Assassins do one thing when they're juiced -- they destroy every single turret in your base without breaking a sweat, then proceed to do their super jump to safety where they slay a few bots buy some more juice and repeat all over again. Against a dedicated juicer it is I M P O S S I B L E to keep turrets up. Even leveled turrets fall like flies to a juiced blade assassin, who zips all over the place and jumps out without a scratch once her job is done.

It's just bullcrap. Assassins should do **** damage to towers. Theyre shouldnt be meant to destroy ******* towers with swords, if anything assassins are the LAST class on the list to break static defenses compared to classes like tank, gunner or assault whore are actually seemingly equipped to deal with those threats. But all assassins do is dash from turret to turret instantly destroying it then escaping scot free...who the **** thought that was balanced? Because you can hear their cloak? What a crock of ****...you don't even need to cloak when you're juiced, you just sprint through own everything then LEAVE at your leisure because you have some stupid *** escape mechanism that guarantees your survival....what a ridiculously designed class...

What? You don't think assassin is OP? Are you ******* high? The best bot clearer, best turret clearer, best player clearer is balanced? Why? Because it has a low HP pool? You can cloak you can sprint you can fly you can blind you have EVERY escape mechanism at your disposal to completely sidestep any weakness you WOULD have had with a low HP pool if you could even get shot or grappled consistently.

The only assassins that are caught are the crappy ones. Good assassins are always topping the charts destroying everything because they know how to exploit their juice and escape mechanisms and ABSURD farming techniques because its easy as ****.

This game was heaps of fun but assassins and juice ruin the **** out of it, worst designed class and worst designed upgrade known to man kind. Hurr, it's invisible and one shots everything, HAHAAAA, hurr its juice it makes you near invincible and you can one shot anything including suicide runs on an even air tight defended moneyball to win hahaaaaa how fair. How "FAIR"...

you can kill the assassin while they are grappling anything, im fairly sure any class can do so, so stop your bitching about that.

the assassin is the best bot and maybe turret killed (gunner....HURRRRR as you like to say) but player clearer? FAR from it, gunner, tank, assault, sniper, hell even the support do better in that, the assassin can grapple but then has to run, but most of the time if she grapples someone she will die while grappling them, you just ranted about complete crap and im guessing a decent assassin just wrecked you in a game.

the assassin can be dealt with easy, you don't run from a juiced player, you run at them, grapple them, deploy on a gunner with lvl 3 and you can beat them.......tank charge, air strikes, head crabs etc etc juice is not invincibility and your making out it is, even when the assassin jumps you can SHOOT her in the air.....seriously you ranted about stuff that is easily dealt with when your a good player.
