Considering how tanky Yasuo gets and his general disposition toward sustained damage rather than burst, He's a fighter, ideally he can dive, but even if he can't his cooldowns are low enough abd him damage high enough that he can focus on the frontline as well if for whatever reason he can't get to the backline. Especially with windwall.

Fiora is kind of weird, but with her so long as you can get the ultimate off on someone, you've basically secured a fight. With her passive as it is, it's also not a waste to ult a tank if you know it will get you that heal, and while she can function as a diver, she gets options beyond that to still make a big contribution, and I think that's what distinguishes them both from just assassins.

If Riven's only real contribution is that she bursts the squishy people, and it's the only thing she can potentially do lategame, and basically her entire goal in fights, what else would you call her aside from assassin? Really high burst damage fighter may be apropiate, but you just don't play her with that playstyle.
