sigh.. freaking natural language and it's stupid synonyms that still imply a difference.. Require tends to have a stronger connotation than need in my experience, hence why I was trying to differentiate on the two.

Anyway, the difference I was trying to make was that a champion should NEED his entire kit in order to function optimally, but shouldn't REQUIRE his entire kit to just function. Essentially I'm just saying the entire kit needs to be usefull over the course of a match, but not mandatory at any given point.

Sadly stuff tends to be balanced around REQUIRING (part of) your kit in order to function in a great deal of situations, which frequently leads to problems. If you get into a situation where you can't use that part for some reason you're utterly useless, but if you get into situations where you no longer REQUIRE the part, for example you have a solid lead and thus win anyway thanks to the difference in numbers, it suddenly becomes obscenly overpowered.
