Nocturnes current classification.

(before reading locate nocturne in these lists) http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/gameplay/taking-another-look-subclasses https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/developer-corner/3A5uuBw7-champion-subclass-list

I feel like nocturne being changed from being called a diver to an assassin was a faulty one, not because nocturne does not share a similar capacity of escape to assassin, but because nocturne also heavily indicates play like a diver.

Noc has choices after his engage, unlike most of both classes which either kill target and avoid brawl, or kill target and can't escape. noc can both escape and also due to his attack speed steroid and aoe damage, he can do both rather well.

So I feel that noc should probably be considered a hybrid character, I feel like he sits on the fence between the two classes very well.
