The future of assasins

I want to start a discuss regarding the state of assasins. It was stated their will be some changes towards assasins in the future. But what kind of changes. I want to list some points that I think ballance wise could help them:

#Different scaling with bonus defensive stats I take Ekko as an example. He recieved some intressting new assassin mechanics that are great on paper. But in reality these mechanics got abused by tank stats that provided him with sustain damage and burst damage despite building full tank. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to get tank Ekko get removed but an intressting change would be that he no longer scales with bonus health. Instant bonus health will provide him with someting else like a stronger shield, more damage or a better heal on his ult.

And second example where something like this would be intressting is Katarina. Let's say instead of scaling with bonus health she gains a percentage damage reduction.

They already did a similar system with marksmen where for example Graves scales differents with attackspeed and crit. Just like the recent released Jhin. I think assasins ballanced has potention to recieve similar ballance changes.

#New mechanics Things like:

  • Dealing bonus damage when attacking them from behind
  • Dealing bonus damage when their are no other nearby enemy/ally champions
  • Dealing bonus damage when a target is below 30% of their maximum health
  • Etc...

Assassins are fine. They were busted about a year ago, when they could literally 2 hit anyone, but now they work as they should.

They're massive threats to squishy characters and some isolated characters, but they can't rip through a front line tank like they could rip through an armorless mage anymore.
