Why does Riot hate assassins?

I mean... seriously. Is the crying so bad by players who aren't smart enough to counter them so expansive that Riot feels the need to destroy kits like Talon's by removing his greatest strength, his silence? There is no reason to remove a silence unless you fully intend to also remove Fidds' Q, completely get rid of stuns and any mechanic that removes a champs ability to function.

I hate the fact that assassins seem to be getting hit so hard because they're easy to counter. And it's getting ridiculous at this point. "Katarina is OP." Panth stuns in teamfight, she gets nuked. Oh wow, so OP folks.

the hilarity is that the simple idea of landing a point click cc on them ultimately fails and shes a triple kill dont know why

Name one assassin with a skillshot ult. I can't think of any. Also, even if they completely mess up their ult (jump in at the wrong time or something) they aren't really punished for it, because the cooldown is so short.

The problem isn't silence or any CC on it's own. It's targeted CC on a kit that can 100-0 you before that CC ends that is a problem. Fiddlesticks kit is in a way that it is impossible for you to EVER 100-0 someone in the duration of his Q.

Riot doesn't dislike assassins. Otherwise the bulleet % armor pen stat would of been changed already.
