If you can preemptivly eat your carry as tahm when an assasin tries to kill him then he failed as an assasin. And the same goes for pretty much everything else... Point being, when an assasin is actually succesful at being an assasin, and not just happens to show up midfight after say leona stunlocked you for the time it took for him to catch up, there's essentially nothing you can really do about it.

The only moment when assasins truly "earn" the kill by succesfully fullfilling their roll is when they just sorta show up out of nowhere, preferably out of stealth or by jumping over a wall cuz terrain is nigh irrelevant in this game stab you once or twice and then you're dead. In virtually every other case either someone else did all the hard work for him (e.g. leona stunlocking you) and they only show up to clean up, or their target did something stupid (e.g. the genius carry who thinks he can duel a fed assasin) or they're just so fed any semblance of skill becomes irrelevant cuz they can kill you by glaring at you... it's the nature of an assasin.. the whole point is to kill your opponent without allowing any reaction whatsoever by just being sneaky and quick.

To be honest, braum is amazing at stopping ganks, as long as his ally pays some attention. It has the same issue that his counterinitiation has. He can easily stop his opponents in their tracks, but if your allies then decides to do the wrong thing whatever braum did becomes completly irrelevant (e.g. carry decides to stand and fight 2v4 instead of running to the safety of the tower).
