This man speaks some serious ******** truth. There is literally no point to playing an assassin. NONE! You can use pretty much any other class and be 10x more effective than an assassin and help your team more. If I have more than 1 assassin on my team I usually prepare to take the loss. I'm pretty sure assassins were made to be crap, because they knew everyone would want to play them. "But, they look cool!" seems to be the only valid reason I've heard to play assassin.
