Slayers

- Assassins are offensive-oriented champions with mobility which allow them to enter and escape a fight, like Zed.
- Skirmishers are the champions having abilities that enable them to enter a fight and then survive for a longer period of time without escaping, like Fiora.
Tanks
This category of champions has two types: Vanguards and Wardens.
- Vanguards are attacking sub-category with offensive and fight initiating equipment, like Malphite.

- Divers have high single-target damage, low area of effect, but are often highly mobile, like Xin Zhao.
Controllers or Support
This category of champions is divided into two types: Enchanters and Disruptors.
