Ironically (perhaps), a Rioter put it the best way.

Compared to actual assassins like Talon and Akali, Xin has no reliable escape after he's destroyed his target. And he's ridiculously vulnerable to being kited - even with his charge off cooldown most carries outrange it by 50 points. One decent escape ability from his target after he's blown that and he's boned.
