I'm tired of all these naming conventions "hur hur we're gonna make our game more complex by subclassing the classes for no reason"

It doesn't matter if he's Lee Sin or Malphite, They can still tower dive you because TOWERS DO NO DAMAGE.

It should be: ADC, MAGE, SUPPORT, TANK and FIGHTER

I'm tired of people debating "Uhh is he a tank or a juggernaut? omg they changed an assassin into a bruiser"

It's all a conspiracy to make you believe they're doing actual work in balancing. It's just freaking labels that confuse everybody and , are ever so useless that **ARE NEVER MENTIONED IN COMPETITIVE PLAY. NEVER HAVE I HEARD A CASTER SAY "IN THIS GAME THEY HAD A CONTROLLER WHICH GAVE THEM AN ADVANTAGE" **

Dota2 Classes: 1.1 Carry 1.2 Disabler 1.3 Initiator 1.4 Jungler 1.5 Support 1.6 Durable 1.7 Nuker 1.8 Pusher 1.9 Escape

Easy to understand. Easy to follow. But for this game you need to go into an actual page to understand wtf is a Skirmisher and a Juggernaut, because they couldn't even decide in actual simple terms/names for their classes. No they broke their classes into subclasses.

Tanks - Vanguards, Wardens Fighters - Juggernauts, Divers Slayers - Assassins, Skirmishers Mages - Burst Mages, Battle Mages, Artillery Mages Controllers - Enchanters, Disruptors Marksmen

There is a difference between a tank and a juggernaut? And an assassin and bruiser

i agree dota2 class naming conventions are much easier to follow

'fighter' 'mage' 'marksmen' etc don't tell you anything and imo it just makes the designs very stale and repetitive. especially for fighters

Diver doesnt necessary mean "tower diving". Diver refers to champion that can run into enemy team and pick out priority target. Hecarim is one example. Divers, unlike assassins, dont wait for flank and commotion of battle to single out target to kill. Divers create commotion.

Also in pro play they use terms like Control mage all the time

NOOB YORICK/SHYVANA/ILLAOI/DARIUS, WHY ARE YOU NOT RUNNING INTO THE ENEMY TEAM SO THAT THEY CAN BE DISTRACTED WITH YOU SO WE CAN BUILD UP THE COURAGE TO RIGHT CLICK TOWARDS THEM WHILE YOU LOST 3/4 OF YOUR HP? OMFG YOU DIED, REPORT! YOU'RE A TANK, ENGAGE NOOB!
