I was looking at Surrender@20, and I saw a post talking about the Fighter category. Juggernauts are immobile, tanky damage dealers, while divers were described as champions such as Irelia and Xin Zhao. I hope Lee Sin is included here.
Divers seem to be champions with initiation, cc, and build tank items. What should they lose as a result? Should there be new items to smooth out this playstyle?
Irelia Bot2 votesWhat do they lose?
Well they tend to have mostly single target damage.
Where as a Garen going into the enemy team and pressign E can take a lot of health from several enemies.
Basically a diver is a champ that is more focused on taking out a single target VS a champ that is more focused on being something that will be doing less damage to more enemies.
Aka Garen with titanic hydra, Black cleaver and the AD from runes and masteries can easily get his E up to 1200+ damage on all targets in range while Irelia will be more focused on putting all of her 2K+ damage into an enemy ADC or mage.
As such Divers are basically assassins that build tanky enough to to survive some hits instead of being like LeBlanc or Zed who have a combo and safe way out.
And if you are talking about Riven she is in another class which builds mostly damage and relies on an ability to take damage. Ever managed to get some good CC on a riven? She issuaually fairly easy to kill if she gets locked down for a couple seconds in a team fight.
Chromatic Eagle1 votesThat's actually a good point. Divers are tanky assassins. Would Ekko be considered a Diver?

If you build him for being tanky the he kinda falls under that class. However he seems more along the lines of Rivne since his ult is somethign that he will use to contend with the damage he will take.
