Burst dueler? Assassins are supposed to be weak to fighters/tanks that properly build against them. But with lifesteal/CDR and of course DD they can fight long enough to rotate their combo 3 or 4 times in 1 fight and destroy tanks through lifesteal and CDR/lifesteal with DD neglecting the burst that should have killed them.
When you have a Riven/Yasuo/Tryndamere/Lee Sin etc that can trade with Wukong/Malphite/Darius/Renekton late game... that's an issue.
Stalinium2 votesRiven, Yasuo, and Trynd are all skirmishers... That's kinda their point. I'd even say Yasuo and Trynd could be considered hypercarries so of course they'll beat your defenses...
Lee Sin is Lee Sin. If it's in the game he can probably do it
xReverie1 votesWould say assassins are squishy burst champions (less bursty than burst mages) that are high risk, high reward. They have to get in to secure a kill, and have tools to get out again. Usually have troubles with tanks, particularly juggernauts.
Skirmishers do seem rather strong at the moment - they can cut your whole team apart, and have a lot of outplay mechanics and defenses: yasuo, riven, fiora, kled, tryndamere.
