I have a doubt regarding the combat phase and (relative dealt damage) with creatures that assign (although this might be not the proper term) +X/+X to other creatures.
Let's make this example. I am attacking with the Elvish Champion and the Llanowar Elves which now is a 2/2. My oppo only blocks my Elvish Champion with a Goblin King, destroying him. Would my Llanowar Elves deal 1 or 2 damages to the oppo?
My apologies if this might sound a bit silly.

The Llanowar Elves has already dealt 2 damage to the opponent. That was simultaneous with the 2 damage that Elvish Champion dealt to Goblin King and the 2 damage that Goblin King dealt to Elvish Champion.
510.2. Second, all combat damage that’s been assigned is dealt simultaneously. This turn-based action doesn’t use the stack. No player has the chance to cast spells or activate abilities between the time combat damage is assigned and the time it’s dealt.

Why bother with mere rulings when so many answers can be found in the Rules?
Nothing silly there, don't worry. I wouldn't encourage the use of the term "assign" for +/+ effects, because in the rules, that verb is specifically used for distributing damage (when a single source can deal damage to mutliple recepients), but what you're referring to is clear.
Barring first strike or double strike, abilities which introduce a "special" combat damage step prior to the normal one, attacking and blocking creatures all deal their combat damage at the same time. So here, your Llanowar Elves deals 2 damage to your opponent at the same time as their Golbin King deals 2 damage to your Elvish Champion. Afterwards, Llanowar Elves reverts back to a 1/1, but it has already dealt its combat damage.
One thing to note is that if instead of going unblocked, Llanowar Elves had been blocked by a 1/1 creature, it would be destroyed right after Elvish Champion is gone, because Llanowar Elves would have been dealt 1 damage, which stays marked until end of turn and causes it to be destroyed because it's now equal to its toughness.

I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.
