They definitely have some some issues and have always had a few. Their audio is a bit random and disorienting and I think at times, that’s intentional. Like when they first spawn you hear their noise echo all around you with no clear indication where they are. They’re assassins, so they’re supposed to be a degree of sneaky and deceptive. That’s just for spawning though.
Often times you hear their scream/yell when they leap at someone, other times it’s completely silent. Things like this aren’t supposed to be inconsistent. In fact, you can dodge an assassin without even looking at him by just using the audio cue.
The animation speed at which they do things can be either slow/confused, normal, or god speed. Like when they leap up objects. Sometimes they perch there for a second and leap. Sometimes they leap over the object completely and leap. Sometimes they leap almost the instant they leap up. Sometimes they’re instantly up and then instantly leap at you. Then other times they do stuff like this:
I have so many of these. You have no idea.
There are definitely a number of issues with them at the moment and you definitely nail those issues.
