I don't think it is a gimmick that only works against newbies. Trip + cheapshot is, because flight is cheap and easy to get. I'm also not sure your competent goodies faced any competent assassins. Especially ones exploiting the issues I specifically called out as adding up to the overall problem.

This is clearly cherry picked, but for characters dying in 2016, 4 of the top 5 killers were assassins played by 3 different players, and the other was a Lich. If you want to pull some goodie stats from that time period and see how people matched up against competent assassins, I'm betting you get the opposite story. You have to, because they ran 90% ish ratios, so clearly they were killing more than just newbs. That's why I think the overall data set is more telling.
