I feel you buddy...

But the real problem is: Why can assassins dish out HUGE amounts of damage with very minimal farm.


They really can't though.

My trick against every assassin: Focus them early game.

Even if you feed a few kills, do everything you can to make sure they can't get farm.

Because an underleveled assassin is quite weak and typically ends up becoming a suicide bomber.
Thanks to Ferrum for making the sig pic! He's beast af people.

1. Juke Death Scythe.
2. Ward.


I just think his passive is BS, but he isn't hard to deal with.

well if he is close and his ult can kill you you see the red skull. and if he drops from the sky you hear his scream. the moment your fleeing and you see a red skull be ready too use your escape (or aegis) when he drops you hear his scream sound pop it it will dodge the ultimate and earn you some distance (if you haven't used aegis aegis it when you have help really close). after that be ready too dodge his scythe. after that he needs to use his 2 to get close (and that won't happen super duper fast) if you find him too close use one of your abilities with cc (as long as he can't pop his three he can't kill you so easy.)

And if he continuous chase hope someone comes to help. And your escape and dodging skills are up when needed. normally he won't give chase after you pass a tower if he doesn't has his ult.


I actually didn't know he screamed, this is literally the most helpful thing I have been told about this game in ages. +5rep

I best detail my problems. Death Scythe is one of those "juke it or you're dead" moves. The problem with these moves is that sometimes you can't juke them, and Death Scythe does SO MUCH. A slow, a heal, and ridiculous damage. And about the ult, the drop speed is ******ed. I like playing gods who often have little mobility, such as Chronos, He Bo, Osiris and that lot, so as such one needs aegis. But after an aegis, thana can easily hit you with his 3 into his 1 followed by mercilessly carving you up like chicken on a Sunday at 6:30, seriously setting you behind. And the worst thing is how bad his late game is. It's nigh impossible to balance Thanatos, and as such I think he needs either a full rework or, dare I say it, to be removed from the game.

You need to learn how to counter him, or play him at least. I hated Loki as hell, so before i say something OP to him, i tried to play him first to know what's good and bad for him. To be honest Thanatos is a piece of cake to shut down if your with a friend, 2 people can shut him down easily.

Tip: if he ults at you, go forward and wait for him a bit to hover death to you, if you feel you need to dodge or aegis now, stop moving forward and IMMEDIATELY look behind and keep moving backward, he will fail to do it, i tried this wtih Scylla so in other words, i juke his Hovering Death, froze down a sic em on his face to take down his HP to 3/5 then i activate my Sentinel on his back to retreat, in this case my allies has already murdered Thanatos. It's easy Pud, the thing it requires is timing. always look above the sky if he is close to you, then juke him. It requires practice tho.

EDIT: Scylla can be a master of jukes since her kits are so smart. If you prefer Chronos use his steroid to move backward as fast as you can so Thanatos can't catch you with his Hovering Death

Ill give you a quick tip about Loki. The only way to shut down a good Loki is any sort of crowd control. But most smart players have beads so CCx2 oo

Still if you have your escape ready you can easily dodge it. But I already see you mostly play gods without an escape. and yes then aegis is a must and the follow up will be there and a point blank scythe is almost undodgeable.

In that case make sure someone is close too you
