Why do assassins, a class that's supposed to do BURST damage, consistently have the most dmg overall

Again this class is supposed to deal BURST damage to HIGH PRIORITY targets. Why are they consistently doing HIGH burst damage and HIGH sustained damage? I consistently see Fizz Ekko Zed Yasuo Evelynn Katarina Leblanc Akali these champs in EVERY freaking game and then they do the most damage in EVERY FREAKING GAME.

They're WAY too safe. They do WAY too much damage. They have WAY too much mobility. They have FAR too much CC (Ekko has two slows and a fucking stun to go along with a movement speed buff and two dashes....................). STOP OVERLOADING THE MOST BRAINDEAD CLASS AND MAKE THEM TAKE ACTUAL SKILL AGAIN.

I have never seen an assassin top the damage charts.

topping damage charts doesn't mean they're doing high sustained damage. What?

Why are we even debating this in the comments? We can literally just look it up.

Top 15 champions are DPS Champs or AOE Mages. Twitch takes 16. Zed is 18. Even if we restrict for only Mid Laners, Zed is only champion #9 on the chart, beaten by the likes of Vladimir and Corki.

Having burst doesn't mean you'll always have the least damage. The point to note is that assassins snowball, thus they're likeliest to be the most fed members of your team. The majority of the times you read damage charts, the most fed member will be your number one damage dealer. That aside, some of the champions you listed do DPS. Akali, Yasuo, and Fizz.

damage isnt everything plus assassins deal damage in bursts which means they deal a ton of damage really fast so why wouldnt they have the most damage dealt to champions
