    Um, ninja capping is more frustrating than it sounds. You tend to die a lot before you can even steal the flag and you can of course get knocked away from the flag if you're trying to ghost. Ninja capping is unreliable, and only seems op when you actually pull it off. I die around 10 times for every ninja cap attempt, and it's a lot compared to soldier where I only take like 3-4 attempts or less depending on the day. While you can fit in more attempts by pearling to the other team's
    flag room, you still die so much and capping is about succeeding. Plus, any enemy ninja will screw you over for sure but for solider, it's no biggy because you can just juke them out until they die from pearl/fall damage or just three shot them with a few crits.

    Even for the heal on kill, assassins are suuuper low health. Rn you can easily kill assassins with a single headshot from medic snowball, much less basically any direct hit from any class.

    Still should have more than 1 point for health, especially considering ninja has 8, has less armour, and has no immediate heal like assassin does. Assassin also takes no fall damage if you use assassinate.

    The gold boots don't do anything and ninja's auto health regen is way more reliable than getting sneak kills. Also, unlike ninja, assassin only has the tiny window and if you fail, all classes basically instakill, whereas ninja just has to go invisible, become basically invincible and sneak away.

    First of all, ninja doesn't have "auto regen", they have to crouch and hold their sword. Next, ninja has to be out of combat to be able to go invis, and with mage, elf, archer or even chemist, it is easy to predict where a ninja has gone straight after being in combat with them. Assassin also gets a free instakill on classes like mage and pyro since they can't block, and can instakill any class easily if they hide, whereas ninjas have to be in combat to do anything meaning major health is lost (because no armour) and there is no quick escape since you have to be out of combat to go invis and it uses 2 hearts to pearl, and in those situations you aren't fast enough to simply run away. Assassin, on the other hand, gains health from instakills and has speed 3 to run away, which can get you out of the situation quickly enough to escape.

    Do you use assassin? I use both classes pretty routinely and speed 3 is not fast enough to run away after a failed engagement-it's really only good for catching up to a moving enemy for a sneak kill. Crouching with sword is so much easier and more reliable than going for an instakill and if you're any good with ninja, using invisibility between attacks basically makes you invincible. Also, the instakill isn't even that great, as you noted only two classes are truly vulnerable to the attack and anyone whose played the game a bit is generally easy to block the attack, after which the assassin is entirely screwed by how long it takes to regen the attack.

    Have you tried faking the assassinate so you bait the enemy?

    If you are any good at mage or elf, an attacking ninja going invis in between attacks (414ing) makes the ninja more vulnerable.
