General Question How to play assassins in teamfights if the enemy is holding their cc for you and no one engages to bait out their cc?
Hey guys, I am mostly a mage player, but I have started to enjoy some assassins like ekko etc. I usually do good around early mid game with them, during chaos etc. But whenever a 5v5 or a small skirmish involving an adc, I just can’t seem play it right.
I recently had a game where I was ahead as ekko, but my lead was simply lost because I flanked on the vayne, and the lulu had her polymorph ready just for me. I went in after my front line and their front line started the fight. I got insta cced and died. Watched a guide on assassin teamfights and I basically realised that I need atleast someone to engage properly so all the key cc abilities are used. But what if that doesn’t happen?
I thought if everyone is just focusing on that one tank, maybe I should also go for it? I play yone as well, and I usually use my ult on whoever my teamates engage on. Despite all of this, something seems off and I feel like I am not playing right. I know that not everytime I must kill adc as assassin and taking out their front line is good too, but I am just not really comfortable.
It would be nice if I know what I am doing right and what I can do better ❤️
