First of all, everybody playing this game for a while knows that Riot classifications suck.

Secondly, Maokai is not an assasin because, as the person above has said, he has no reliable burst. He has a lot of CC, built-in defences and utility instead, which predestines him to play a tanky role. Plus he is a good jungler, and the current meta prefers tanky junglers.
