Bot Lane Assassins - Lucian vs. Jhin

This question has been haunting me over and over again, especially since I LOVE assassins. Why is Lucian not a secondary assassin like Vayne but Jhin is? Jhin is not mobile at all, but Lucian has two abilities that boosts his movement. His W makes him chase enemies faster like Vayne passive and his E is a dash. Pretty much every assassin has either a dash or a blink as their mobility ability. I just don't get it. Lucian not assassin, but Jhin is. God help us #Rito

Jhin fits the idea of what someone not too familiar with the game thinks an assassin is; he just fucking blows you up. Lucian has the mobility of an assassin but he doesn't have the "he just fucking blows you up"-ness of an assassin.

Because Lucian is DPS. Jhin is AD caster with burst.

The same reason Xerath is classified as an assassin, he bursts people with his combos, whereas Lucian is a good chaser, but relies on AA (DPS).
