Champions I think are burst mages: (some of the ones): Talon, Zed, Syndra, Ahri, Orianna, Annie, Veigar.
Champions I think are assassins: (some of the ones): Rengar, Evelynn, Elise, Wukong, Hecarim, and Full AD Poppy on ARURF.
Change my mind
Assassins have high mobility and damage with little to no CC and/or defenses, ie, Zed, Talon Leblanc.
Burst mages have low mobility (generally) with a mix of a decent to lots of CC and do all their damage really quickly.
Champions I think are burst mages: (some of the ones): Talon, Zed,
ugh
Burst mages don't have any tools to go in and out, assassins do Burst mages aren't guaranteed to 100-0 their target, it doesn't matter if they don't because they can burst again in a few seconds again, assassins on the other hand are all-in and if they don't manage to 100-0 the target, they failed
Rule of thumb: If they're bursty and mobile, they're an assassin.
Applying that rule to the champions you listed, you get something like this - Burst Mages: Syndra, Orianna, Annie, Veigar Assassins: Talon, Zed, Rengar, Evelynn, Elise, Wukong, Hecarim, AD Poppy
I'm pretty positive this is the first time I've ever seen someone try to count Talon or Zed as Burst Mages.
