It'd be nice if this list was only the things that you would have changed compared to Riot's list, with a link to Riot's list. That way it'd be easier to parse the actual important part of this, your own changes.

I see most of the changes you made are adding (hybrid: ___) to lots of champions who didn't have them before, and for most of them I think they don't really fit. For example, labeling Braum as a Enchanter hybrid is vastly overstating the importance of the W armor/mr buff in his kit, and minor buffs like that aren't really strictly an enchanter thing either.

I also think that the labeling of many fighters as Skirmisher hybrids is... ambitious, to say the least. I realize you probably labeled characters like Shyvana and Xin as skirmishers because of some kind of recognition that they weren't actually designed to build tanky, or some hope that future changes would push them more towards a carry role, but of all the characters who you added the skirmisher hybrid label to, the only one who remotely comes close to actually being a skirmisher hybrid is Aatrox.

Ivern should probably be considered pure Enchanter. He isn't a tank. He has no tank abilities, no defensive scalings or steroids, everything he does scales hard off of AP.

Or at the very least, He could be a Disruptor/ Enchanter hybrid.

Tahm has a slow, a stun, and a suppression. He's not a juggernaut.

I think Hecarim is more of a hybrid juggernaut than hybrid vanguard IMO.

I think Hecarim is more of a hybrid juggernaut than hybrid vanguard IMO.

He's waaaaaaaaay too mobile to be even sort of a juggernaut tbh. He can engagle with his E and ult, so hybrid vanguard fits fine I think.

Ralanr1 votes

Good point. I just assumed hybrid juggernaut because of his damage output.

Divers can have good damage outputs. Xin Zhao, Wukong, Vi, and Diana have crazy damage outputs.

Meep Man1 votes

To be fair, Xin Zhao, Vi, and Diana are all also hybrid Slayers. Divers are usually the exact middle ground of damage and durability.

Meep Man1 votes

Tell me if I missed any Hybrids or mislabeled any of them.

Also, TL;DR we need more Artillery Mages. Only 9 champions, at the moment of this comment, have either Primary or Hybrid Artillery as part of their categorization.

Malicious Metal1 votes

You mislabelled Mordekaiser. He's a Juggernaut of the Raidboss subclass :^)

Meep Man2 votes

Dang! Now that you mention it, I also mislabeled Nautilus! He's from the Holy Diver subclass.

Valor Bot1 votes

You should highlight the ones you changed and/or added to the list.

Katarina isn't really a Skirmisher because her burst damage isn't powerful or remotely consistent enough to annihilate people like Yasuo or Fiora do. And before you say it, even when fed, she's not really considered a Skirmisher, because then anyone could qualify for that.

Critmaster Garen1 votes

generally decent list.

id say jarvan is disruptive enough that he can still be situationally a vanguard, but hes missing real defensive steroids to ever count as an actual tank. so id say secondary at best.

id say shyvana is part diver due to her ult. she feels a bit too mobile to actually count towards juggernaut. skirmisher doesnt fit at all for her, since shes not mobile enough and doesnt actually have utility. shes clearly no riven or yasuo. she has one ability to jump into the enemy team from a distance, so diver would probably be the best description.

Sejuani going only as vanguard is kinda misleading lol. She can perfectly work as a warden (with her heavy slows) or as disruptor since her perma W actually does significant damage over time.

vanguards are usually tanks who are able to hard inititate fights. techanically all vanguards can use their initiation tools defensive if they have to.

like malphite can ult an enemy diver point blank if he feels peeling is more important than initiating.

RogueWill1 votes

Is not the same, sejuani can still hard initiate and then proceed to peel with her Q and E, malphite can't do both at the same time, he has to chose between engaging or peeling.

Would you mind adding a description of each sub-class please? Thank you.

@Riot PLEASE REWORK THE DIVERS. THEY NEED IT.

LankPants1 votes

I've mentioned this before, but I think there's actually a logical class between Vanguards and Juggernauts. Champions like Sejuani Amumu Hecarim RekSai and Shyvana play more like each other than other champions from their classes.

They have a huge initial engage which they open with before they fall back to mostly AOE damage to follow up in a fight.

At the very least though Shyvana should be a Diver, not a Juggernaut. Shyvana as a Juggernaut makes no sense, Juggernauts are a generally immobile class, you can justify very short dashes on a Juggernaut but not one of the longest range dashes in the game. I think she is in a class which Riot didn't identify but if I was going to use only the classes Riot laid out I'd say Diver/Vanguard, nothing to do with Juggernauts or Skirmishers.
