His kit is 100% "blow up squishy champions quickly" which is what assassins do. And he's not the bad version of Zed. They really aren't all that similar outside of both of them being AD assassins.

The only reason Zed arguable a better AD assassin is because he has a much stronger/safer laning phase and isn't gated by mana.

Also you mention that he can build more like a bruiser and still assassinate people albeit a bit slower. That's not a good thing. Just like Ekko being able to build full-tank and still out-trade everyone else wasn't a good thing.
