We have to ban Fizz Akali Zed Katarina. Will it ever end? Katarina is facerolling champion with insane snowballing and damage - to beat her there is must be full team of stuns. Fizz has no counterplay and can easy do 20-0. Good Zed can do same - he can teleport with his shadows for 2 screens and then teleport back. And Riven - this is machine destroying everything.

You actually only need 1.
Until then, meet your new friends:
this gives little detail and sounds much like a QQ thread.
Some current assassins have just too much in their kits. Fizz can avoid everything and that trollpoll has such a low CD. Take Vlad's pool as comparison. I know they're two completely different champs, but why should one have lower CD, more damage AND cost less (steals 20% of your current HP means you shouldn't use it when near full health.. while Fizz can, no problem). FURTHERMORE, Fizz can jump walls with his E while Vlad can not.
Akali has so much sustain it's ridiculous. An assassin shouldn't have that crazy sustain.
Anyways...
assassins are naturally good in soloqueue due to disorganization
assassins are even stronger in the current meta due to the importance of map control for dragon buffs and jungle control.
season 5 waveclear is a lot lower since mages cant just spam spells with a chalice to defend a turret, so it's easier to force them oom and dive.
assassin meta won't go away unless they change one or both of these.
I'd rather have an assassin meta than the "mages wave clear waves for fourty minutes" meta we had.
The issue we've got right now is a pretty recent thing.
The nerfs to defensive items that resulted from the defense mastery tree being over-tuned combined with the changes to Dragon that afford offensive buffs with no defensive buffs have pushed damage over the top, especially on certain AD Assassins. Typically things are supposed to go as follows:
Rangers > Tanks > Assassins > Rangers
But now it looks like this:
Rangers >> Tanks < Assassins > Rangers
With no one to hold Assassins down they're running rampant and killing everything. This is what happens whenever one role is invalidated, the roles they're supposed to hold in check get huge.
when adcs get nerfed assassins will be less popular.
When Riot gets off their ass and nerfs Zed, Akali and Fizz
I do agree akali is really strong. I also agree on fizz as well, however i do not think zed needs nerfs but some minor changes to shift his focus on his idenity. Like is he a assassin or a 1v1 duelist both or none.
