^ Pretty much like the Morgana vs Leona support match up. Yeah, you got black shield, but how quick can you react? The silence/stun counter is not as reliable as you think, otherwise champions like Kata/Akali must be shit tier then (while in fact they're still rocking).

The other reason is that many assassins have been nerfed to a very unsatisfy level, especially damage wise. Many of them have become "opportunist", go in when enemy is low to clean up, because tbh, their damage can't 100-0 anything. LB, though have many weaknesses, with superior damage, is one of the few that still give the "I blow some motha fuka up in 1 second" feeling.
