I may be wrong about this but riot seems to be interested in adding various DPS characters, completely ignoring other roles you might encounter in aRTS games such as gankers, supports, tanks, initiators, junglers, semi-carries etc. Also back when I was playing the game it always seemed they liked to empower new heroes a lot and at the same time nerf possible counters putting a little bit of pressure on the community to buy new character if they wanted to dominate matches right after his or her release.
Like I said it's just my impression.
None true, unfortunately. They've had plenty of underwhelming releases, but that's the thing: no one remembers them.
As far the first one, there are many classifications and roles, a lot of it is based on how you play them. League is, of course, more rigid in the lane/game set-up. Also, they've released plenty of other "archetypes" as well. Thresh has been one of the most influential support of this season, for instance. (And for good reason, his kit is absolutely insane) That's the thing with damage dealers, they can release many, but that's because they are not quite as relevant as characters who can have influence on teamfights via CC or sticking power.
OT:
Yaaaaay.
I always feel weird seeing league news on this website. Not sure why honestly.
Anyway, I'll probably try her out, but I'm not the most ADC-centric player.
