Games : Why are some artillery mages tagged as Assassins?

In League of Legends, Champions are divided into different roles - such as Marksman, Mage, Assassin, Fighter, Tank, etc.


Under Official wiki, Assassins are categorised as "An assassin is an agile champion that specializes in killing or disabling high value targets. Focused on infiltration, deception, and mobility, assassins are opportunistic hunters who find favorable moments within a fight before jumping into the fray. Regardless of the size of the enemy team, assassins specialize in positioning and artful killing. They strike when the time is right – no sooner, no later."


However some mages who are tagged as Assassins in their secondary role does not fit into this descripton, some examples are Xerath and Malzahar, and both of them are not exactly "agile".


Why does Riot categorise these champions under Assassin category?
