By design, they mostly cater to the crit-playstyle due to their high star absorb and star gen plus their passive Presence Concealment, which helps them generate more stars. With this in mind, they are given lower damage modifier. Also, newer assassins are given 2+ steroids to compensate for their lower damage output.
