Heroes of the Storm has characters like Abathur, Murky, Probius, etc., who all break the conventional gameplay rules and do their own thing, and it's a lot of fun. Singed, Azir, Teemo, Quinn, Heimerdinger, etc., are in a similar boat, so will you be giving them a Specialist classification?
Durzaka2 votesSpecialists in HotS may have unconventional gameplay, but their role/intention for the MOST part (one or 2 exceptions) is to push down lanes and apply very strong pressure to towers. So that doesnt really work for LoL.
darkdill2 votesDoesn't mean that Riot has to follow the same classification requirement. Specialist in LoL =/= Specialist in HotS. It's more meant to be a designation for heroes/champions who break the norm in terms of gameplay.
Durzaka1 votesBut Specialist is as much a classification in HotS as Vanguard or Diver is for League.
So calling all the uniques Specialists doesnt actually describe them at all, it just gives it a different name.
Michael7021 votesWhy do people care so much about what they're called?
Geauxx2 votesbecause it prob woulda helped those people who got banned for trying different things outside meta...
i think it was a singed and nunu player? i don't remember
Ralanr1 votesBecause it's fun.
Michael7021 votesIt's fun to argue about who a tank is and who isn't? "Well, technically he's a vanguard."
Ralanr2 votesIt makes my day at work less boring. Yes.
