Right now, assuming he gets a little resistance or armor so they can't just pop him, he's actually better against assassins than most champs. Much of his damage is very hard to avoid/lock down, his cooldowns are barely a factor in his ability to trade damage in a duel, and many assassins have to come into melee range where he can stun blind/them easily, and stay there hitting him with auto-attacks for some amount of time to make sure he dies. I do agree about his weak chasing though, smart enemies should almost always be able to get away from him... he typically only kills the ones that go all in recklessly and then get tunnel vision.
