1) Ensure Assassin gameplay is healthy
Playing against an Assassin can often feel very inevitable and hopeless, especially once they start their snowball. Giving opponents options and opportunities to outsmart or outmaneuver the Assassin is critical to the sustainability of the class in the long-term. On the flip side, this also allows us to give Assassins a bit more punch when they do succeed meaning that they’ll be able to dig themselves out of even more precarious situations than before when executed to their full potential.

There are 2 critical problems to solve in this space:

Assassin damage needs to not happen literally in the blink of an eye. Providing opponents with a short window (even if it is fairly brief) allows for reactions to even be possible. Currently, some Assassins deal most (if not all) of their damage in the literal instant they arrive at their target which can lead to moments that are extremely unclear and one-sided.

Assassin damage needs some level of variance. The outcome of a fight shouldn’t be completely decided before it even starts. How well each player performs in any given fight should matter.

When opponents inevitably die from an Assassin, they should be thinking “I should have played that better” rather than “there was nothing I can do.”
