Pantheon is an assassin, but look at his passive and Aegis. Kha'Zix has damage reduction while stealthed, Xin Zhao is labelled as an assassin (and to some degree, he definitely is), Akali has a defensive steroid as well. In fact, almost every single melee assassin (more bursty ones such as Talon are the exceptions) has some sort of sustain and/or defensive steroid, and all of them would suffer without those bonuses. Stereotyping certain champions to have specific categories of spells would have made Mundo an impossible tank choice - his spells COST health and give him damage. In fact, Mundo lacks hard CC to begin with, so don't get into the silly idea that roles define champions, because those champions existed before they were put into a role.

Evelynn has base damage on her Q. If you don't think that is true, then read the spell again. 120 per (1.5 * 0.6) = 120 / 0.9 = 133 base damage per second. It also has the scaling that her ult doesn't have. Her ultimate does not deal tons of damage whenever you cast it because she would simply lay down too much damage (as was seen) to compete with. Additionally, it does have a kind of base value, it just happens to be the shield that it gives you.

Truth be told, I think it'd be better to make her ult work a bit like Axe's ult: If the target is below X amount of health, they die instantly.
