Next class rework. divers tanks and skirmishers
also I don't exactly understand the difference between divers and skirmishers. they have too many overlapping things to consider them different in any meaningful way. actually I take that back
what I meant divers like Xin zhao and warwick are a lot similar to Jax and master yi. will these champions get included in diver rework? I mean considering tank and diver rework are up next. which leaves skirmishers a whole year and a half away from an update. master yi is currently weak. jax is pushed into the jungle position only. tryndmaere is somewhat toxic and needed a rework long time ago. ekko is the only ap skirmishers and he isn't really a skirmisher. yasuo has issues at the moment and need to be toned down (more than numbers). Riven has been very hard to balance for a very long time shes very similar to yasuo in the sense that she has a little too much control in lane and it comes down to her own mistakes.
yes divers do need more work than skirmishers. but I think combining both of them would be great. some divers need to be transfered to assassin position. nocturne eve diana are pretty much assasssins. Renekton hecarim warwick xin are more tanky fighters. in the sense of divers the real divers in the class are Vi , J4, wukong , ( Irelia should be listed as a skirmisher might change after rework). aatrox. Elise . champs that build as much defense as offensive on usual bases.
I think first you need to make very good distinction between divers and skirmishers and assassins before you work on them.
you need to define a very good role for divers skirmishers and assassins in the game. currently divers do a lot of similar things to assassin. many divers are too similar to skirmishers. a bunch of stat check champions that include
irelia , jax, yi, xin zhao , warwick , tryndamere these 6 champions are more similar to each other than they are to other champions in their own class. they are currently a walking stick of stats that either kill you or die trying. mainly autto attack melee carries. thats what I want to call them. yasuo isn't really a true melee carry because he depends a lot on mobility and set up from team mates hes more of a caster carry hybrid. they don't have much of any set up other than diving you. I know they split push but splitpushing is an uninteractive way to win the game and has no control on champion interactions in which what classes are based on.
yasuo and riven and fiora are 3 champions that are similar to each other. they are hybrid / aa based / caster champions that depend on abilities to set up their potential to do damage with auto attacks mixed into things.
vi j4 hecarim lee sin wukong nocturne are prob the true divers in the word's sense
the rest are really just a mess of abilities that don't go well together. you got the bruiser/mage/assassin diana. Renekton the juggernaut/fighter/diver/caster/assassin. elise is really weird champion in general. i don't know maybe assassin. pantheon is just designed to be painful. he isn't really a fighter a diver or an assassin he just does straight up damage without any thought put into his design.
eve is like elise. very weirdly designed assassin. ekko is a mess of a fighter and an assassin.
assassins skirmishers and divers are so fucking messy. tanks have clear goals and things they do. so do juggernauts. so do mages and marskman so does enchanters and disruptors and marskman .
or just put in the work and give these melee stat sticks some actual depth in their design. most of them are extremely old and lazy. just include burst build melee champs as "Assassins" and include semi bruiser ones as "fighters" there is no point to have all of that meaningful title on them.
just make them more distinctive.
