Specialist Classes

Specialists are a nebulous group of classes that all excel at extremely specific situations and are near useless in others. Specialists depend on their team to create an opening for them to slip through and deal massive damage, or create an opening themselves with a key pick. Specialists usually have low health and extremely high damage in short bursts. They use movement abilities and tricks to attack single targets and slip away to strike again. They thrive on distractions and can demoralize opponents by the mere rumor of their presence. Specialists are often called "assassins" or "Flanks" in games that identify them.

Identifying Specialists
Often, games will choose not to have a spot for specialists or flanks in their organization system. This is due to the undefined nature of these classes. Most often, they will get absorbed into either the Offense class group or the Support class group, and arguments can be made for both. These classes, however, are distinct and unique enough to warrant their own classification on this wiki.
