Are assasins way too unhealthy ?

I actually not that good in the game , however i still have noticed that assasins are wayy too unhealthy right now as someone who played alot of Fizz Rengar Khazix Katarina ( currently level 7 and 6 with them ) is it really fair to delete target under 1 second ? they force immobile mages to build zhonyas even if it ruin their build , because of the lack of counterplay assasins does have cough cough talon and zed and fizz , sure they got some nerfs recently but i think it is frustrating to play against them especially if you are an adc main . kha zix is one of the best junglers right now for me , since the last buffs he got his play rate have increased dramatically , i remember him being urgotten in s5 and s4
Rengar thunder cat build does insane dmg , and this is why people spam tanks , just to not get deleted by this mofos lb point click double Q gg ...... such skill much brain
i am not telling that assasins shouldnt be doing damages , but i think they lack counterplay and their damage is so easy to pull off .

kat and kha zix are trash

fizz just got nerfed and peoplle still make excuses for being bad

talon is probably the most balanced assassin

rengar is basically master yi now with more reliable damage.

other than that all assassins are trash now. Not including ekko because everyone builds him tank.

i don't even see the point of having assassins in the game. nobody likes them, nor does nobody appreciate them.

Mages got an update which broken them. Adc got an update which broken them. Tanks became juggernauts. Meanwhile assassins are being shat on by all the cc in the game with no counter to it and they're the unhealthy ones? lol

His early game's poke does no damage, especially considering its mana cost. Most mages can just poke him away from farm.

He's also pretty easy to gank before 6, if he does (somehow) push you in.

The Assassins in their current state definately are unhealthy Champion-Designs.

Their bases and mobility are beyond sanity (proofen by Tank builds) and their playstyle is mostly based on giving their opponents a terrible lane experience. Either by being untouchable even with JGL or by being incredibly oppressive.

I'm really looking forward to the Assassin-Rework, adding actuall counterplay to this class besides buring summoners and Item CDs. (Although they aready annonced they wont give Zed much attention.. the worst offender in terms of playstyle)

Assassins are usually rewarded for playing the map. So if you get your ass kicked because your flank wasn't covered, that's on you. Assassins main counter, is a well warded map and map awareness. If your a glass cannon, don't face check brushes and stay behind your tank. Though this in mind, Stealth mechanics get around most of the vision, which is why champs like Shaco and Evylinn, are basically never buffed.

I also say this because Assassins arn't the only champs that can burst you in one second. No, the problem is that their entire kit requires them to do just that. Others will claim that they need to be feast or famine. But that isn't really healthy, since feast means, snowball out of control, and famine means, completely useless, and that makes at least one person miserable either way.

The only way to make the class healthy, is to ensure that their opponent always has the ability to shut them down, But at the same time, they need a way to rebound, or have some other function on the team if behind. And doing so, is probably going to require Assassins, to lean more heavily on their secondary roles.
