Marksmen Subclasses

So awhile ago, Riot released a list of subclasses that better define what a champion's strengths and weaknesses are, and what role they serve to fill on a team. Of the six main classes (Fighters, Mages, Slayers, Controllers, Tanks and Marksmen), only marksmen haven't been divided into subclasses, despite having a pretty wide array of play style available. I've been thinking about what sort of subclasses for marksmen should exist, and I think I've got a good list here. Let me know what you think!

For marksmen, I can divide them into three subclasses: Quickshots, Spellslingers and Snipers.

Quickshots are probably what you think of first when you think of ADCs - squishy, immobile, but builds lots of damage and attack speed. Usually have a poor early game, but an exceptional late game. They don't rely on their abilities for damage, but more for utility and setting up for a kill. They don't really have any self-peel, though, and will more than likely die if caught out alone. Most marksmen seem to fall in this subclass. Examples:

Spellslingers are champions who weave their abilities in along with auto attacks in order to get the best damage output. They rely a bit more heavily on their abilities than other marksmen, and tend to be a bit more capable of taking care of themselves. Their late game tends to not be quite as good as Quickshots, but they do very well mid game. Examples:

Snipers excel at dealing damage from long range. This makes them particularly difficult to catch, especially if they're with their team, and they can make an impact on fights even when they're not immediately visible. However, if they do get caught out, they are even more screwed than other marksmen are. Their strongest point varies, but mid game seems to be where they struggle most. Examples:

A more complete list of all marksmen champions taken straight from the Champion Subclass List Here would be as follows:

Quickshots: Vayne Ashe Sivir Jinx Kalista Kindred Draven Quinn (hybrid Assassin) Kayle (hybrid Enchanter) Azir (hybrid Disruptor) Mini Gnar

Spellslingers: Ezreal Lucian Miss Fortune Kog'Maw (hybrid Quickshot) Corki Graves (hybrid Skirmisher) Tristana (hybrid Quickshot) Urgot (hybrid Disruptor)

Snipers: Cailtyn Jhin (hybrid Burst Mage) Twitch (hybrid Assassin) Varus

Let me know what you think about this in the comments! Do you agree? Who do you think belongs where? Remember, these aren't ironclad, and just meant to provoke conversation and thought. I'd love to hear what people think. ^^
