The heroes in the LOL actually set their positions and playing styles for them before the designers finish the production and release.
However, due to the early AP to the AD bonus chaos, coupled with the development of players, many heroes out of its own positioning, with other ways of playing, which the designer did not expect.
AP Sword Sage
This should be the most classic hero who has deviated from his own orbit, as a physical assassin or a half-flesh warrior, it is difficult to believe that a hero with a sword can be a mage.
The 1.0AP bonus of the early Sword Saint Q, and the AP bonus of W up to 4.0 made the AP gameplay popular, whether it was a pure mage equipped with a few Q to easily get the head, or a half-meat equipment to rely on the bonus and damage reduction of W to bathe in the spring water, most of the sword saints said goodbye to AD.
The designer then modified Sword Saint to transform him into a physical output hero who relied on attack speed.
Shine the bull's head
When you think of a bull's head, everyone thinks that it is an auxiliary, or a tank.
But in the old days, the bull's head could be played as a warrior on the road. At that time, the passive of the bull's head R was to increase the attack power, out of the three-phase force and the electric knife, W can be followed by a general attack, and this general attack can play the effect of flare and electric knife, and the opposite side can not hold it at all.
AP Thane
It's hard to believe that the old driver now also had a violent AP play. At that time, Theon passive was probability damage reduction, Q was stun, W was shield, E was killing enemies to increase health, actively opening to increase attack power, R was 20S to get 100% blood sucking and 50% attack speed, so it looked like it was a tank or warrior.
However, due to the early numerical confusion, AD and AP chaos, Thane's Q and W spell bonuses are higher, Sain can go out of the AP to walk the eye stream, death gaze, stare at who dies, and later Thane redoed, only to become the current old driver and pest.
Meat Ike
Ike's skill structure is obviously a flowing assassin, taking the first level of the enemy and then R back.
But in S5 developed meat Ike, the main single and play wild, very disgusting people, on the single meat Ike, the most famous player is Duke, he also has Ike's champion skin; and playing wild meat Ike is even more brainless, to 6 over the tower to catch people, acting as a meat shield, after playing direct R back.
The designer's thinking is limited, and the player's creativity is unlimited, in this creativity, there are many non-mainstream gameplay, and finally the designer is considered to be inconsistent with the setting, to a knife, and finally can only play according to the designer's ideas.
