As you can see, there is really no proper role classification of what is allowed in this mode. Twitch and Teemo are just as much Assasins as some of champs in the list. If Kennen is here why not them? Yasuo is Skirmisher, not Assasin nor Diver. Why not add Fiora as well then? Despite the fact Noc is now percieved by Riot as Diver rather than Assasin, he still assasinates just as much as Panth, Evelyn or Diana. Ahri is just joke on the list.

The only real factor of what champions are allowed are those who make flashy playz and burstz. This points us to the most interesting thing: We can stop making rant topics about Lee Sin and/or Ahri and/or Yasuo. It seems Riot fully acknowledges and realizes Ahri is mobile burster and Lee Sin is Assasin Diver and Yasuo is overmobiled Assasin. They just don't mind.

Ta ta.

This is speculation on my part, but I believe the reason Noct isn't on the list is because he doesn't really burst. He deals high damage yes, but he also requires a few seconds for his fear to go off and is all auto-attacks pretty much.

The 2nd reason I think is because he has a spell shield, giving him to high of a defense option.

Well, I got the same idea, but...

Fed Nocturne can delete you faster. Non-fed Noct requires similar amount of time as Diana and she is on the list. Same with Evelyn, she requires just as much time of semisustained damage.

As for the shield. Rengo have strong heal and CC immunity, Ekko has strong shield, Panth has aa immunity (which can be crucial especially with this mode), both Fizz and basically Elise have intargetability... It's true the shield is very powerful, but it's not like there wouldnt be similar offenders. And especially Fizz and Elise, avoiding entire burst is better than avoiding single ability.
