Because I'm running out of jungle assassins. are all forced into a bruiser build now and I'm concerned that assassin is next on the chopping block.

Yes, I'm fairly sure the intention is to keep Evelynn an assassin.
Nocturne is more of a diver.
Rengar and shaco both have huge balance and game health issues, which may be forcing them into these roles.
Kha as far as I know is still being built mostly like an assassin. The only defensive items he gets frequently are guardian angel, triforce, and black cleaver if you count that as defensive.

Warrior BC into tank is more bruiser than anything, though I'm sure Kha'Zix can be built assassin, unlike the other three; nevertheless Evelynn has been problematic from a design standpoint as well, and I really hope she gets to keep her passive and an assassin play style.

Correction. She will Actually be an assassin after the rework. Right now she is kind of just a stealthy skirmisher/fighter/bruiser thing.

They only mentioned that they would every time they talked about her...

Eve has been the most bruiser of the lot for quite some time now...

Hope they push her towards actually being an assassin, but more like a hybrid skirmisher/assassin to keep a bit of her current feel. Right now she's more of a "chase you down and kill you gradually but inevitably" style assassin and its a pretty unique feel.

AP Eve is still decent, and I was more hoping that it would continue to be after her rework. I expected Shaco and Rengar to still be assassins after their reworks, and they weren't, so now I'm a bit gun shy.
