LOL: The 14 rare champions of the game that Riot does not know how to classify

Riot Games has always tried to sort the champions of League of Legends in different classes, attending to the function that each of them performs in the invoked crack. The developer has gone through several phases in this division until he currently stays in the game, which is based on a set of seven classes that group all the characters: controller, fighter, magician, shooter, annihilator, tank and specialist. The first six are explained almost by themselves and have several subclasses, but the latter is the most interesting: groups the 14 rare characters that did not fit in any other group.

The Various Champions of League of Legends

The specialist class aims to group various champions that do not fit into any of the other spaces for having a very particular gameplay or leading to too strange combinations. For example, before the class update that took place in season 7, Air was shown to players combining magician with shooter and gangplank was only considered a fighter more. However, it did not make sense that two of the most particular champions of League of Legends shared space with Caitlyn or Benetton.

In total, the 14 champions called specialists are the following:

Maybe one of the characters most surprised to see on the list is CHO'Path, which we would not have too many problems categorized as tank. However, it is located in the specialist section by not fitting in the subcategories that Riot Games created for these characters, since in it, we only find avant-garde, in reference to those specialized in starting fights, and protectors, those who focus on blocking Persistently the enemy. Once we know this particularity, it is easier to understand the possible conditions in which a champion is considered a specialist...:

Zone Control Champions : The controller subclass refers to control enemies directly and not to obtain map spaces as can be achieved with a Soldier of Air, a definitive Kennel or the Gangplank barrels. Thus, many specialists are to be a remarkable threat in a concrete area of ​​the summary crack and its power to punish ourselves if we do not respect them (Air, Fiddledinger, Gangplank, Gear, Harbinger, Kennel, Singed and Clean)

Magi as shooters : To avoid confusions with respect to what class League of Legends belong, especially magnets with a gameplay similar to that of the shooters are considered. This situation affects Air, Kyle and Teems. Characters that do not fit : Some champions may look a lot like those of other categories, but do not fit in them because of their game style. It is the case of CHO'Path, bass and Quinn. The first is a tank, but we would not say it looks like Mackie or Poppy. The same happens with the seconds, which are not even similar to the rest of the shooters. Hybrid champions : Due to its ability to carry out functions of several classes, they do not have the usual strengths and weaknesses of a champion of its category. They are interesting cases such as Gear or Middle. Its weaknesses change according to the way they are, so it is avoided to classify them so as not to lead confusions on how they should be played or what the intentions of the developers were.

There may be more than one reason why the League of Legends developers assign a character to the specialist category.
