Riot said she's a burst mage with elements of artillery, possibly the other way around.

I think what made them consider her a burst mage first are the fairly long cooldowns on her Q and E, her iconic combo of Q and/or E into R to delete carries, and the bonus damage she gets from firing auto attacks. A true artillery mage doesn't have very long cooldowns on their poke spells (Xerath has 5 seconds on Q, Ziggs has 4 seconds on bouncing bomb compared to Lux's 10 seconds on Lucent Singularity) and wants to just keep peppering the enemy to wear them down at low risk while a burst mage is fishing to fire their full combo and delete someone, and if they spend one of their cooldowns frivolously they become very vulnerable for a good while.

Zed is not a assassin

he is a mobile, marksman killer

Not exactly what he said tbh, since the marskmen part is being a smart ass. Though yes she is a burst mage, the cc heavy aoe artillery mage thing is correct. She steps on a fine line between the two

So he's an assassin by Riot's definition?

Yeah, she is. Lux is Mage whose kit is designed to do burst damage, i.e. a burst mage. Nothing in that link matters.

Who cares that Riot put out yet another post of arbitrary titles for champions that have no effect on how the game functions? It's just as pointless an exercise and a waste of Riot's time as the last times, like where they tried to convince everyone to start calling ADCs "marksmen" and to call Mordekaiser one too.

As stated in the comments of the article, the change to Morde was only in the client with the purpose of making it easier to look for botlner in champ select. They removed it since due to the scandal.

And? "The titles are meaningless and have no effect on the game" is my point and you just pointed out that the title is meaningless yourself.

i think she has the range, but not the cooldowns to count as artillery mage.

like ziggs can basically constantly spam his q. xerath aswell.
