The point in traditional assassination was picking the perfect time to actually do their job, but I guess on League if they aren't allowed to jump in 1v5 uncontested and kill their target the class sucks.

the perfect time when? when their support gets disconnected?

Everything has cool downs, with some abilities having very long cool downs. In the case of Braum, he has moderate cool downs and he is a low damage threat with his only purpose literally protecting someone, the mastery will also have a cool down. The mastery, and Braum also have very limited range and requires paying attention anyways and in some cases preemptive reaction given assassins have periods where they burst quickly then it takes for a human to respond.

Assassins shouldn't be the first member jumping in unless the opposing team is in a bad position, but the issue is almost everyone playing assassins wants to jump in first 1v5 and either blame their team for being bad or complaining supports did their job.
