The Assassins are back in 9.19, with an unlikely combination: 4 Savages. Thanks to the massive attack speed bonus, this composition sows terror in the opposing carries who are cut by Akali and Rengar.

Shapeshifter (3)
Brawler (2)With the buffs she received, Akali is again a champion who can carry his composition, which is one of the reasons for the success of this one. Furthermore, the 4 Savages allow all units to never miss their target, which works very well with Assassins.
This composition has the advantage of being relatively flexible, at least in the choice of different Assassins. One Rengar is necessary, Akali et Pyke can be replaced by other units if necessary, at least the time to find and improve them.

Akali will be the main carry for this team, so should have 3 items equipped. The first and most important is the Infinity blade, which is now perfect on Assassins since she gave critical chance. The Ninja works particularly well with it since its spell can naturally critically hit.
With this object, she will have enough defense so that she does not die instantly and Akali will be unstoppable. The combination of ghost dancer + dragon claw will usually do just fine.
For the other champions, Pyke works extremely well with the frozen heart, which he can even equip in duplicate. Indeed, since he crosses the opposing team twice (when he jumps at the start of the fight and with his ultimate), he applies the attack speed debuff to all the champions on his way.
Rengar will sometimes be used as a carry on this team instead of Akali if you find the right items. For him, a 
Bloodthirst, a 
guardian angel and a 
Ultra-fast cannon will be ideal to allow him to jump from opponent to opponent and regenerate.
Start of the game and progress
The start of the game will generally begin with a classic Wild starter: Nidalee + Warwick. Your goal will be to save normally and level up after PVE rounds (Krugs, Wolves, Raptors) in order to quickly find your rarest tier 4 units (Akali et Gnar).
With Nidalee and Warwick, you will be able to add another brawler (Vi at the top of the list) before adding Rengar to composition. Next, you'll want to start finding 2 Assassins additional, usually Pyke et Zed which arrive quickly. It is also possible to start directly with Assassins and add Savages later.
Once you find Gnar, you will add it to have the 4 Savages. If you have items to equip Rengar (and you have it quickly level 2), you will give it to it and make it your carry. Otherwise, equip your Zed until you have Akali level 2 which will replace it.
Then you can put back Vi if you didn't have the space, and add Jayce for bonuses Shapeshifter et hextech. The latter are however not so important, and can therefore be replaced by other similar units.
Positioning and options at the end of the game
As with all compositions Assassin, you need to have all your units back to force opponents forward, freeing up space for your Assassins seep into the backline. Your Assassins always jump towards the opposing opponent, so switch sides according to the placement of most players in your game.
Akali, Rengar et Pyke forms the best trio of Assassins at present, but the last one can however be replaced in the rare case that you cannot find it at level 2. The same goes for Akali: a level 2 Zed is better than a level 1 Akali.
Ahri can replace Gnar if you really can't find it in order to have 4 Savages. Since they're usually hotly contested, always be prepared to pivot to another Assassin comp, like 6 Assassins + 4 Ninjas for example.
If you manage to get your hands on a 
Youmuu Specter Blade, you can equip it on Gnar and forget Jayce et Vi at level 8 in favor of 2 Assassins to have 6 in total. The best choices will usually be Kha'Zix et Evelyn, good that Katarina et Kai'Sa are also viable options.
Jayce et Vi are not absolutely necessary for this composition, generally only one of the two is enough. When you're not dominating the game, it will usually be more interesting to stay level 7 and spend his gold on rerolls to find upgrades than absolutely trying to reach level 8.
