Does seemlike there is an archer champion or two. I so loved the archery skill requirement of savage, and much like in skyrim/thief games, hope this game is similar with those types of weapons for champions

Um, there is certainly and archer (the centaur) that has been show. However I don't think you have the idea that I have gotten from what I've seen so far. Instead of buying a weapon that is of a specific class type that gives you the abilities of that weapon (bow and arrow, greatsword, sword etc.) the idea that I have been given is that this game will be like in LoL that had items powering up heroes, but never actually changing the hero's main weapon. That's what I think is happening and it seems the images in the media are somewhat support this theory. However I could be pleasently wrong.

It's like in LoL, HoN and other dota games: your champion has a specific weapon and skill set which do not change upon the items you purchase from the in-game store. so if you are an archer then buy an item that looks like a greatsword which buffs your damage by 40 you will still be using the bow and arrow with an increased damage rating.

also, welcome to the forums Ractero!

I think he was just asking if there was some kind of archer champion/hero/whatever they decide to call it.  Yeah, from what I've seen, it looks like archery will play a large role in SoaDA, more than in other MOBAs I've looked at, though I'm only really experienced with LoL.
