Assassins mid lane are ungankable

You should display a hint to junglers to avoid mid when the enemy mid laner is something like Leblanc or Akali because unless that player is 1-2 leagues below the rest of the players, it's IMPOSSIBLE to gank them. The only time you can kill them is when they blow everything to kill your mid laner, and at that point its 1 for 1.

I don't see how that's fair or fun. Mages were supposedly nerfed because push and roam playstyle was too safe - yet some of these assassins are literally immune to ganks unless they're diving you.

How about instead:

you simply keep watching the lane if you really want to gank it. Their escape abilities (zed w, akali w, etc) have long cds early on. Once they use those, if they overextend, they have to burn flash to get out.

You can say the same to mage mains? They can use abilities to farm from distance safely. Especially with mana sustain items. Assassins aren't harder to gank.
