Fighter. Specifically skirmisher. Her burst isn't that high. It's only when combined with her lockdown that she gets kills, not through straight burst.

She has low cooldown multiple short range dashes, and ideally gets auto attacks in for sustained damage, while remaining mobile. Sound familiar?

Fiora has her passive to not care about who her target is and maintain damage, and ult to win an area and zone. Yasuo has a windwall to zone out ranged threats, and sustained damage for the frontline, and dashes that combined with the windwall can get him ontop of the squishies if they try to navigate around it, and an ult that lets him deal more damage to targets who try to be tanky. Both of them also use dashes to navigate the fight while dealing damage as opposed to getting ontop of any squishies.

Instead of single target damage, riven has aoe to cleave other fighters on the edge of the fight, and miniature dashes and disruption to maintain damage and positioning and control the damage she takes from other melee attackers.

None of them have a kit to get right to the squishies. I also think both fiora and riven struggle to compete with a well-placed windwall, but they're all better at this than assassination. Though all for all of them their potential as assassins is conditional.
