I don't think the Updated Assassins are Original

They all seem like their kits are copy pasta from duskblade. Delayed damage in hopes of securing a kill.

I'm glad we are able to react more to assassins trying to burst us down, but...the whole concept just feels like it is one giant slap in the face to everyone.

'Sorry assassins, but you do your job too well; so, now we're making it so you have to poison people to death.'

'To everyone else, we were unable to balance assassins; so, we hit them all with the nerf bat to give everything that isn't a tank a bully-free playground. Enjoy your dumbed down game!'

That's just my take on it from what I have seen.
