Ekko classified as an assassin/fighter

Diana classified as a fighter/mage

So where exactly is this line drawn?

Ekko's identity?

He's slowly turning into the God of League; that's where his identity is headed. Riot one day said... ''The real world has God, Allah, Buddha etc... League needs a God. Let's choose Ekko.''

He can Top like a God, he can JG like a God, he can Mid like a God. He can be a God-like Tank or a God-like burster.

Riot's probably working on how to make ADC Ekko work as we speak...

He's been able to jg/top/mid like a god since his release man people were just sleeping on him before. Also, ADC Ekko already does work i can confirm. It's actually really good.

To be honest I think that Ekko is the only champion in the game that could possible be an Assassin/Tank

Old tags are obsolete, there is new class system incoming. they never could capture identity of most champions.

I'd say with new classes Diana would be assassin/battle mage hybrid, and Ekko skirmisher/battle mage, but honestly Ekko is so loaded with stuff you can't really tell who he is.

Ekko : Anything you can do I can do better!... no really, I'll just repeat time until I do it better than you.

Assassins are supposed to have some kind of mobility, Diana her one gap closer is technically immobile... next to Ekko anyway. Talon has a blink and a speed up to count for his mobility, Zed... well, Zed. Kat has Shunpo.

A lack of a dash or blink is all that separates Annie from being an assassin.

Ekko was one of the champs designed in the mobility arms race that some were calling "mobility creep" but with Ekko, it was obvious that they wanted to dispel any idea of "creep" and went with a champ that had mobility summoner 4 .

Where is the line?

Good question, they keep having to make newer and wilder bullshit to out-do old champs to make people have a reason to spend RP to get them immediately.

Diana's dash resets on moonlit targets though

Most of riot's new champs have one identity. LCSstupidplays. That's literally it. They want every champ to have 50 flashes so their casters can screech like baboons everytime irelia Qs and pretend like there's something amazing going on.
