Well it's not surprising as he is an assassin... Riot really just have to look at assassins to kill them.

The problem with assassins is that for them to be competitive with each other they have to be able to remove someone with as little counter play as physically possible, so they have been pushed to a point where they have to be toxic to be useful.

As soon as riot nerf or add counter play to an assassin they spiral into uselessness (and the same the other way, buffs make them into fotm). There has never been an assassin who has been considered balanced, they have always been either overpowered or underpowered purely because the class is flawed and in my opinion needs a complete rework of the whole class so that they are not inherently toxic.
