What do you think is the most balanced class in League of Legends?
Now when I say classes, let me get straight what I mean. Here are what I define as classes.
Tanks: This one is pretty obvious. It contains Vanguards like
as well as Tank Supports like
and some champions that Riot doesn't necessarily consider "Tanks" but the day I don't consider
a tank is the day I die.
Mages: This includes mid laners like
as well as more Support-oriented mages such as
count. More Assassin-esque champions like
don't count. And Enchanters are completely different.
Enchanters: These are Mage-ish supports that focus more on helping the ADC (mainly by healing/shielding) than dealing damage. Examples are
etc.
Marksmen: Ranged champions, basically just ADC's as you know like
except for some exceptions such as
, who are marksmen who aren't necessarily ADC's.
Assassins: This one is pretty straight-forward, but I'm considering "divers" like
as Assassins because they generally serve a very similar purpose.
Bruisers: This involves tanky champs that also do a lot of damage like
. Fighters are not considered to be in this category.
Fighters: Kinda like bruisers but they specialize in dueling and have more damage rather than tankiness. Some examples are
.
I think I encompassed every champion in the game. If you're wondering about a specific champion (which shouldn't change your decision too much anyway), just put them in whichever group you feel fits best.
With all that out of the way, I think the most balanced class in the game is Mages. I never feel like many Mages are "broken", and more often than not I genuinely feel outplayed. For the most part they require skillshots to hit their CC, they specialize in fighting from a decent/long range, and when they let you get too close without doing anything to stop you then they generally deserve to die. And with Mages without reliable hard CC, they either have very long range (
) or they have some sort of mobility/movement speed (
). Some say Mages have no counter to Assassins, they have
and a support to protect them. While yes, there have been overbearing Mages who had too much to offer like
and had to be given the
treatment, I think in general the whole concept and generally the execution of Mages is the most balanced one in the game.
, not that Brand support pussy boy bullshit.
. It evens out.
