I see a lot of people talk about LB and other assassins like they're mages. They're not. Just because they do magic damage does not make them a mage.
Those are mages.
These are assassins:
IcyPepper1 votesThere is occasionally overlap, though. I thought Elise and Ahri were at least secondary assassins?
I could be wrong, though.
Vesarixx1 votesAhri definitely is, Elise is considered a fighter though, and for some reason is also listed as a secondary assassin.
The Bearded Bard1 votesThere was a time when Ahri was a complete assassin, but then the small rework changed her into what she is today. I wouldn't call her an assassin now, her all in damage is too low. Unless she's pretty fed, her full combo including all three ults isn't going to kill much.
IcyPepper1 votesYeah, I guess she's more of a kiting mage nowadays...
Stevev451 votesFiz has waveclear and cc, so he should be a mage.
