i think Malzahar is considered an assassin because of 2 things, his Q and the rest of his abilities being undelayed, targeted ( you will not miss W if your tagret is silenced and supressed after that ) and require minimum skill to land AFTER hitting Q

think of the synergy between them when land Q nothing will prevent you from landing your whole combo as it have a whopping 3 sec silence so when hitting it you just need to walk in, land your E, lay your W and finishing with R and ignite ( this is an assassin style ) while as poor veigar you need more skill to land your stun and a lot more skill to land your dark matter during stun ( espicially when your stun is less than evel 3 since dark matter has an a** whopping delay of 1.25 )

ofc, there are other things that can define an assassin and available in malzahar as will as having more than 1 STRONG cc ( silence/stun/supress/fear NOT slow or snare ) implemented within a high base/scaling damage 4 spells combo AND having your normal abilities enough to kill without relying on your R

but those are my thoughts only, i hope they helped
