Are assassins bad at laning or is it just the people they're drawn to?

Because by now I am convinced it is one or the other and I'm genuinely curious as to which one it is.

I honestly wish there were assassins who could pull off having a really passive laning phase and still be able to do his job lategame, entirely because hearing "An Ally Has Been Slain!" at the 3 minute mark and knowing that they can't come back from that is the worst thing.

riot pls

safeman, the hitman of safeland

passive 1: doesn't feed in laning phase passive 2: can come back from being behind in laning phase

QWER: is still an assassin

Faker plays assassin champs. He's not bad at laning.

They are harder to play well and if you run into a lot of folks who aren't extremely skilled at them, yeah. Free gold mid lane lol.

Pros can play whatever the hell they want because they can put the time and effort into what they are doing.

I think the assassin class attracts the most super casuals which results in the class getting a bad rep.

Mostly the people, most assassins now have crazy good waveclear Katarina Ahri Khazix Malzahar Pantheon Talon Zed to name a few and farming, along with being able to 1v1 the other laner in most situations.

Many people who play assassins just like the fact that they can get a positive kd on them (implying they are playing the game for the kd rather than the wl).

The safeman of safeland has already been created Katarina Zed TwistedFate Akali all these champions can roam safely, farm safely and easily can get back on top.
