Does it matter where I place champions on the board?

Absolutely.

Champions all fit into different archetypes. They might be tanky, cast spells from range, or lack big health bars but deal huge DPS.

It’s about taking these traits into consideration whenever you place a champion on the board.

Stick your tanks on the frontline as they’re designed to soak up damage and draw aggro away from your vulnerable backline.

Meanwhile, we’d recommend placing ranged champions like Ashe on the backline to output as much damage as possible from a safe distance.

It’ll also force your enemy to close the gap if they want to get to one of your primary damage dealers, and potentially land themselves in an unfavourable scenario in the process. Place her right at the front of your composition as she’ll be wiped out instantly, and thus, never get a chance to lay down some damage or use her ability.

Don’t be afraid to place Assassins on the far edges of the board to give them ample room to seek out the enemy’s backline too. These high DPS, often melee-oriented champions are perfect for singling out vulnerable enemies and eliminating them quickly.

All in all, take into consideration each of your champions’ roles and position them so they can fulfil that role to the best of their ability.
