You apparantly don't see what my problem with your statement is. Just how many melee mages (or fighter mages?) do we have by definition?

There's Akali whose just an Assassin that happens to deal magic damage. There's Cho'gath whose a Tank Mage. There's Diana who is a Fighter Mage. There is Ekko who is a Fighter Assassin. There's Elise who is a Mage Fighter. There's Evelynn who is an Assassin Mage. There is Fizz who is a Assassin Fighter. Galio is a Tank Mage. Gragas is a Fighter Mage. Katarina is an Assassin Mage. Kayle is Fighter Support. Malzahar is a Mage Assassin. Maokai is Tank Mage. Mordekaiser is Fighter Mage. Nunu is a Support Fighter. Rumble is Fighter Mage. Singed is a Tank Fighter. Ryze is a Mage Fighter. Shen is a Tank Fighter. Zac is Tank Fighter, and Taric is Support Fighter.

So for one. Melee Mage doesn't exist. At best you have Mage Fighter or Fighter mage which has an odd range. You mentioned Diana who isn't an assassin on paper and quite true. She does not have an Assassin tag. Malzahar does. And Katarina, And Akali who is apprantly not a mage or a fighter but just a pure Assassin. Somehow. Evelynn is an Assassin mage though I wonder what Kass, Eve, and Malz have in common to be the only mages with that specific title and for most magic damage dealing assassins to just be Mage Fighters?

That's why I thought you meant that you wanted Kassadin to be an Assassin Fighter because most melee Assassins are given the Fighter tab as well despite what damage they may deal. Fizz is a an Assassin Fighter. Malzhar is a Mage Assassin and Ekko is an Fighter Assassin.

Can you make sense of that because I can't. The hallmarks of an Assassin is killing someone swiftly and getting out and Malzahar is notioriestly vunlerable and slow. The Hallmarks of a mage is having a spell combo or dealing a majority of magic damage in all your offenses yet Fizz is not a mage by title. Fighters are of course the close range version of a marksman and have to spend a lot of time auto attacking but Ryze has that title which is odd because the one thing Ryze is supposed to do is supposed to cast spells all day. There's not supposed to be an auto attack when Ryze gets going.

Singed. Also a fighter despite him always doing more damage with poison trail and will primarily run around you rather than fight you.
