Assassin classification

MysticDreams12··5 votes·631 views

This has been irking me all day. I've been going back and forth with a particular person, who thinks that

A) DIANA is an assassin,

and

B) Akali, Talon, Fizz,~~ Rengar~~, Kha'Zix, Shaco, and Nidalee are NOT assassins. (THEY ARE!)

I've been trying to get it in their stubborn head that they are wrong, but they think I am wrong and that I need to "deal with it."

[slayer-jinx-unamused]

According to the client, AND RIOT:

This is the list of ASSASSINS:

Zed Kha’zix Fizz LeBlanc Akali Talon Katarina Kassadin Shaco Rengar Apparently they moved him to Diver, now. Nidalee (hybrid Artillery)

And the list of Divers: Vi Xin Zhao Nocturne Pantheon Jarvan Wukong Warwick Renekton Elise Hecarim Lee Sin Irelia Aatrox Evelynn Diana

As most people know, Assassins have the tools to get in, kill, and get out. Meaning they have an ESCAPE tool. This person also thinks that Akali's shroud isn't an escape, that Rengar has no escape tool (his ult if you call it that), and Talon has no escape either (HE HAS TWO).

Holy cow people.

Those~~ three~~ two are assassins. Diana is not. Even if she has high burst, she has no escape tool, and has the diving capabilities of being able to survive. That's what a DIVER is.

TL/DR: Please learn your classifications and not be like this one person, who I can't name but thinks that I'm stupid and wrong when in fact they are the one that is wrong. Diana-** Diver**. Akali,~~ Rengar~~, Shaco, Talon, Nidalee, Kha'Zix, Fizz- **Assassins. **

Honestly Rengar still looks more of a Diver to me than an Assassin.

Updated Evelynn should also be treated as an Assassin. Ultimate.

Rengar is officially a diver by Riot, now.

And Evelynn is an assassin, with some skirmisher traits.

Rengar being a diver makes sense, he can't bail out via stealth or mobility.

Well I grabbed the list of classifications from the post by Riot Statikk. I don't know if they updated it since then, but that was what was on it.

Evelynn is not an assassin. She has no get in tools.

Diver: Go in, get shit done or die.

Assassin: Go in, get a kill or not, then GTFO out town like Charlie brown.

Shaco blows his escape tool just to get in though. In some cases fizz has to as well just to get to you. Meanwhile lee sin has an escape on w.
