buff assassins

ok so lately i have been playing assassin again and my k/d has gone down due to these reasons:1charge spammers
2 support campers
3 sniper noobs with their little freeze traps
4slam spammers
please either buff the assassin or take it out

Assaults really don't have much health. Find one fighting someone else and finish them off when they are fighting someone. At best you get an assist (meaning your ally is still alive), and at the worst you get a kill (meaning your ally died).

Try killing the support while he's hacking his turret (when he first rushes forward to deploy it). It doesn't even shoot for the first 5 seconds after he deploys it

Snipers like to get very comfortable in one particular spot. As creatures of habit, they save their traps until they get to that spot. Watch them wait for their name when they die and kill them on the way to their spot.

If you revealed yourself to the gunner and allowed him to slam then it's you're fault you died.

what happens when i attack support firebase killls me sniper camps behind freeze trap
assault will just charge grapple me and i die (1 hit ko) and the gunner just spams it if he hears the slightest noise (my hum)

I hear what you're saying, but pretty much all you're gonna get around here are masked versions of "Assassin is bad and you're a bad person for playing it."

Jump spam > slam spam

Unless you're lagging of course, but then you're pretty much screwed as an assassin anyway

the problem is i dont know when he is about to do it and then if he hears me jump hell slam if i get to close

1: You get hit by a charge and you either face stabbed someone or went for a tank. Learn from that
2. Smoke bomb the turret and backstab the support. Go stealth during the grapple and the turret wont shoot you
3. I agree there, traps need some serious alteration
4. If your behind the guy why are you using cloak? It just gives you away.

The grapple re-cloak is being "fixed." Also, I think most Supports will bunny hop upon the smoke bomb effect.

You are kidding with that right? Everyone else is a noob or spammer because you don't know how to play assassin? When I'm gunner and I see an assassin I slam because I don't want to be killed and I want to win the game. When I'm an assault and see an assassin (especially if they just missed a grapple) I'll charge. Maybe you need to be a better assassin because I'm not going to just sit there and let you kill me when I have the chance to kill you.

The main thing the assassin needs is better lag compensation on her lunge and grapples

A tool to deal with sniper traps would be nice too, even if it was just a way of setting them off without entering the freezing radius herself. As it is now, my only real response to traps is to leave the sniper be or wait until they're looking down their scope and try to crit-shuriken them to death before they realise they're under attack and move (this rarely works but it's netted me one or two sniper kills and at least stops them shooting the lane / my teammates for a bit :3 )

Your argument was hardly convincing. Yes the Sin is at an obvious disadvantage, but you didn't give any logic to support yourself. Also, why do guys think it's so easy to kill a Support. We are the Sin's biggest problems. My shotgun feeds off the blood of Assassins. It's a 2 shot kill and if are proficient with the shotgun, they are two very easy shots.

1-shot if they're foolish enough to not use gold armor

Was hoping this was a thread about assassins in the buff.

Yes, sadly, they ARE getting smarter.

I resent that! :lol: I've always taken pride in being a smart and competent assassin.

Think she'd still wear the mask?

the turret one wont work after the patch they wont let you cloak dureing the grapple and the smoke bomb stops them for like 2 seconds not enough time

except half the time after they say owned noob thats not owned that just spamming a button

How do you spam a button by pressing it only when you see an assassin?

Further, how do you spam a skill that has a recharge like slam does?

So...if hitting charge or slam (depending on the class) when you see an enemy is spam. What is it call when you fire all your rounds into them? Is that spamming bullets?
