not really. assassins are designed to get on opposing champions and kill them with some efficiency. They are very technical in implementation

darius is a juggernaut, tons of damage, rampages through teams with it, very kitable. He requires a certain bit of technical flair. Ultimately he trades the effectiveness of CC for the raw power of damage.

Irelia and Jax have some similarities to assassins hence why they have assassin as  a secondary tag. Biggest thing about these two is that there disengage is not as great as most assassins. Even talon can disengage much better thanks to hiis ult. Not saying he is infinely better, nor that irelia and jax cannot disengage well with their gap closers, but irelia's disengage would be situational. Jax on the other hand, while easy, is tied to his gap closer meaning once he enters into the fray he is locked for the next several seconds.

Finally, diana, from what I can tell, is being re-evaluated by riot as an assassin for the rework later in 2016
