Taking another look at subclasses

Because they probably dont want to copy HoTS since it uses that term for its "Unique playstyles"

Ooooh! Ooooh! I know! Call them "Misfits"! Then we can make a montage with them to the misfits song from the Rudolph movie!

His ult is literally "Living Artillery", too ;-;

Singed is not a marksman at all.

I don't know, I consider a Vanguard-Warden-Juggernaut-Diver-Assassin-Skirmisher-Burst Mags-Battle Mage-Artillery-Enchanter-Catcher-Marksmen

yeah, i noticed that too

not even a name for the mobile marksmen

Yeah, I've noticed that most marksmen are divided into two categories, pokey (Ezreal, Jhin, Varus) and bursty (Tristana, Jinx, Vayne). Funny how there weren't distinctions in the marksmen category.

He'd have to rely on someone else or an item to help him "catch"

Not to mention making coherent team compositions in lobby much more feasible

- "I'm viablllllllllle!" - "No your not" - "You're really not dude" - " "

P.S. I play a good amount, he is very viable but tbh not a tank more of a catcher like thresh or a warden. His ult is very catcher esque and his single target cc kinda just makes him a warden. That's my input

skrimishers have strong defensive mechanics. Fiora: parry Jax: counterstrike Master Yi: alpha strike/meditate Riven: low cd ad scaling shield Tryndamere: His ult Yasuo: windwall Jayce is missing this and can not be classed as a skirmisher

Term carry comes from other games like Dota, where the Carry is the character who power farms the early and mid game and ends up 1v5ing late game. It's like Yi but actually viable. Carries are basically just high damage threats that rely on gold more than other classes like tanks or bruisers who build cheaper tank items or supports who build cheap support items. Any damage threat could be considered a carry.

What do you mean Sivir isn't a tank? ######kappa

But not every catcher has a hook ability. The idea behind it are champions whom have abilities that can pull enemies away from the group, or lock them down for an easy kill. Thus they're catching their target.

Plus, do we really want a subclass that uses the slang term for a prostitute in some areas?

or maybe fister? :D

he's reliant on his auto attacks (passive) and mages do magical damage :P That's what differs him from artillery mages like Vel'koz, Ziggs, and Xerath.

I wouldn't say artillery mage, given that his range is much too short compared to other artillery mages. He does have his global ultimate, but he can't really use that to poke continuously. I'd say battlemage comes close, but his defensive capabilities are not very strong. He has a heal/cleanse, but he can't use that as an in-combat sustain or defensive steroid to tank hits like, say, Swain can. Hard to call him a burst mage, when that class is defined by their initial CC allowing the rest of the kit to finish them off. Gangplank's CC is directly tied to his primary damage source, so it's hard for him to first lock them down and kill them afterwards.

I can see why he's classified under unique, although I don't fully agree with the decision.
