Melee has a high defense and level, but the range is low. Meanwhile, Range has the advantage in terms of high speed and range but its defense is very fragile.

In addition to the macro strategy, in LOL the strategy, equipment and ingredients for each character will determine the power of each athlete in the field of competition.

If a player is too much to get superior equipment or potions with many prerequisites and long periods of time, that means he can overload the team's performance.
