Reminder: league classes and subclasses

Fighter: typically melee tanky DPS. -juggernaut: high mix of durability and damage, generally immobile and slow. -Diver: more mobile and less tanky then a juggernaut. Most fighters can be classified here.

Slayer: the "light fighter". Ussually melee, non tanky DPS. -assassin: hyper mobile casters with high target selection, good against squishy targets, weak against tanky targets -Skirmisher: the true melee carry, more DPS then burst focused, usually target agnostic and ha in combat defensive mechanics to compensate for extended kill time

Mage: the AP carry, source of magic damage with side utility -Artillery: long range caster, weaker up close -Burst mage: shorter range then artillery but more burst damage. -Battle mage: the tankier mage, ussually wants to be in the thick of the enemy team to do damage

Controllers: Casters that focus more on their utility and disruption then their damage. -enchanter: the healers, buff, shield, and amplify their teammates through their abilities -disruptors: use poke, aoe threat zones, and cc to pressure and control enemy movement

Tank: the defensive damage soak of the team, acts as a front line and is ussually very durable but not as damaging as fighters -Vanguard: the initiating tanks, they start the fight and enable their team to follow up on their engage -Warden: the defensive tank, ussually stay with the back line and protect the carries as opposed to initiating the fight

Marksman: ranged DPS, builds glass cannon and deals the highest sustained DPS in the game, the ADC. -no official subclasses: while there are distinctions in the itemization and inputs among the class, riot has yet to recognize any official subclass as all the members of the class share the same general output

This is a reminder for anyone who hadn't heard of or read the dev blog post Riot sent out a few months ago, I feel it's important to understand the strengths and weaknesses of a class and to be able to accurately recognize what class a champion is to discuss how it falls in lime with other champions in its class.
