It's complete bullsht. Rengar having a free QSS 24/7 is not "high risk". Kha'zix being able to stealth multiple times in a fight and being able to leap over walls is not "high risk". Zed and Leblanc being able to immediately return to their starting point after chunking you is not "high risk". And being able to stealth whenever you fck up is not "high risk".
Variks the Loyal6 votesIt is high risk because they build squishy and need to dive alone into a backline with no nearby allies. Any sort of crowd control will kill them almost instantly.

Stealth+point and click burst it hard lol. And the back line isn't going to be there 24/7. Assassins pretty much get to do whatever they want if the backline isn't babysitting the squishies all day.

You don't seem to know the meaning of backline.
The backline doesn't babysit squishies, the backline is comprised of squishies. You're thinking of the Support.
Guess what the Support's job is? To babysit the squishies all day.
A single Support makes an Assassin significantly less effective.
Assassins get to roam around all they want, and it's a tactical game. Catch sight of them with wards and either position yourself accordingly, or set up a counter-ambush with your teammates. An Assassin can't burst 3 people at once.

Oh I'm sorry. That was a typo. What I meant was front line. You can't expect the front line to be there 24/7 and when they're not there the assassins just have a field day.

Yeah. That's the point.
A squishy, caught alone by an Assassin, is dead. Every time. It comes with the territory.
That's why Supports are always with the Marksman.

LOL that makes absolutely no sense. I really don't care if "that's the point" of assassins. They shouldn't be able to just right click and delete whoever they feel like whenever they want.

They don't get to.
If they walk up to a Tank, or Fighter, Support, or Battle Mage, they don't get to delete them.
If the target is an actual squishy, then yes, they do. If the Assassin even gets close, the squishy has lost, most likely because of a lack of wards, map awareness, or teamwork (Stick by your tanks and you won't get bursted).

You still haven't explained why this justifies the insane amount of burst, mobility, and safety that assassins get.

Because they're squishy, have to dive into teamfights alone, need to roam around the map in dangerous territory, often have really bad laning phases/poor first jungle clears, have no defenses, are very weak to CC, and get blown up in teamfights by a stiff wind.
Arya Riven5 votesAny squishy melee is high risk. They have to get in melee range while being squishy.
dakota saturn3 votesLB has to build full glass cannon and she is an extremely more than fair champion who offers a ton of counterplay options because if you blink at her she dies.
TyrekGoldenspear3 votesI will assume you backed this up with winrate statistics?
Bronze II Yasuo 1 votesWhys this being downvoted? Lmao, this is the truth a lot of assassins aren't high risk and have fee escape tools to get out of sticky situations.
