League-of-legends – What lane do assassins play on

league-of-legends

I've mostly played AD Carry on Bot lane and Offtank on Top lane, so I am unsure of where other certain types of champions should lane.
This is what I know so far:

  • Top: Offtanks
  • Mid: AP Carries
  • Bot: AD Carries, Supports, Tanks

So, where do assassins like Talon fit in?

Best Answer

Assassins don't work so well on actual meta. Playing such character type is challenging and the best case to pick such char is to counterpick.

As you write this character type can work on;

  • Top - with focus on sustain which often criples damage output in late game (not reccommended IMHO)
  • Mid - with focus on damage if have counter AP skills (reccommended if char have counter AP skill)
  • Jungle - if such char have skills and big mobility but now we see more often offtanks like Alistar or Malephite on this "lane" (reccomended if char is viable)

Talon is used as a great counterpick on mid - Cutthroat skill - applies silence on target so it is great versus squishy AP Carries.

Good luck.

Edit:

Here you can see high elo gamer and his game at mid with Talon on YouTube and his opinon why Talon is great at mid :)
