Veigar is not a carry. He is one of the very few examples of pure nukers in LoL. Blow everything on a high priority target, job done, you are now useless for the rest of the teamfight. Examples of AP carries are Cassiopeia, Ryze and Diana. Maybe Vlad.

I am aware of this. I say some APCs are carries BECAUSE of what was mentioned. Some Mages get very powerful scaling late game from items and experience, such as Veigar, Orianna, Viktor, Lux, Zyra, Brand and even Xerath.

AD casters are usually fighters because they make up for the lack of carry potential with durability (such as Urgot, which sometimes is labeled as and ADC for some ******ed reason).

Support Mages are also there too because they give there team a large amount of utility, though their burst may not be at par with the rest of their class.

League of Legends is pretty much ability based, rather than AA based.

The tags fall short because the game system is different in DotA. If you're a mage in DotA, your auto attacks will hurt late game. LoL does not have this, but instead your skills can hurt more, which doesn't happen in DotA. In DotA, mages are frequently labeled as 'carry'. Many casters are not carries, especially AD casters, who usually have the 'fighter' tag.

I don't know if I would consider it a problem or whatever, but most of the champions actually fit into multiple of these categories.

Let's just have a look at Zac. He is a disabler, ganker, initiator, jungler and he is durable.

Another example: Leona is a lane support, but a disabler, roamer and initiator as well.

In all honesty I don't like the current system a bit, but I don't know if your solution would be ideal as well.

@Meiyjhe

I figured adding more colors to it would make it easier to read haha, but that's an easy fix.

It says WIP at top for a reason... still a Work in Progress :P

I'm currently adding more champs as I go, so it's comin along.

edit:
Really? I've only heard that term being used towards a jungler that they're babysitting a lane, not an actual baby sitter... Soraka or Taric or even Sona would fir the role I was describing, but I see what you're saying there

Quoted:
Pain is temporary... Victory is forever!

Depends what pain and what kind of victory.

Anyway, whether it be for a friend or not, I'd suggest making your guide less "rainbow", it will make the guide much easier to read. Besides that, it is great and all when you want to make a champion list, but it is not really a champion list if there is just 1 champion in it :P

If you plan on keeping this guide public, I'd definately add some more champions to the list asap and remove the overdose of colours.

I didn't read your guide 100%, but I can see the terms you mentioned apply to the League of Legends. The terms and their explanations alone, however, would not teach the reader quite a lot, unless it is applied towards certain champions, aka your champion list. So basically, an another reason to make your champion list bigger :P

EDIT: It might be easier to keep the terms as close to LoL as possible. For example, Babysitters are considered to be junglers that keep coming in high frequency to a certain lane, not a "lane support". People that will bump up on those terms later on, might get confused, and start assuming the wrong things.

Not really.

That's fine man. Doing it for a friend. I still believe the attribute system that League uses is **** and misleading.

Nobody wants to see the DotA 2 tag system applied to LoL, more detailed though it may be.
