The Electrocute buff should be a sign that people want more damage in the game.
I have friends coming back and trying the game again specifically because of this small buff to assassins in general.
It should be pretty obvious by now that people want MORE DAMAGE on CARRIES and ASSASSINS and LESS SUSTAIN on EVERYONE.
My queues were completely dead pre patch (5-10 mins waiting time on any account in any game mode except ARAM).
The playrate on Electrocute spiked because people are desperate to fight, outplay and kill the opponent, not because its stronger than current Conq/Grasp setups.
I hope this will be the first step into a bright future of being rewarded for good positioning and mechanics instead of scaling to 2 items with HP/resistances and making 2 entire classes (Assassins and ADC's that dont build LDR) completely useless or automatically disadvantaged.
