Just so you know, this is going to be a VERY long post. You have been warned; please don't just say some variation of "TLDR".

So I was thinking, and I realized that the alignment system used by some roleplaying games actually is quite applicable to most champions in this game. Most of them fit neatly into one alignment or the other. I am now going to try to classify them as such. I will explain my decisions when I feel they need to be explained, but not when it is self-explanatory and obvious. An important note: I am classifying champions based on their lore, and the lore of other champions that mention them. No fan theories. I welcome any and all feedback, so feel free to express disagreement; just stay respectful about it. By the way, here's a list of the 9 alignments if you don't know them already: http://easydamus.com/alignment.html

: Chaotic Evil. Aatrox thrives on conflict. He appears at battles to sustain the bloodshed of war, and leads soldiers to commit atrocities in the process.

: Chaotic Good. Ahri joined the League in an effort to no longer need to absorb people's life energy. Her motivations are good, even if they don't follow any particular law.

: True Neutral. Akali is dedicated to her cause of preserving balance, and her own morality seems to mirror that.

: Chaotic Good.

: True Neutral.

: Neutral Good.

: Chaotic Neutral. Look, she's a little kid. Her actions aren't due to morality or nationalistic loyalty; they are due to the fact that burning stuff is fun.

: Lawful Good.

: Lawful Neutral.

: Chaotic Neutral.

: Neutral Good. Braum is a hero, but he isn't motivated out of adherence to law; he does what he does to help others. Braum does the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do.

: Lawful Good.

: Neutral Evil.

: Chaotic Evil.

: Neutral Good.

: Lawful Evil.

: Lawful Evil. Diana is motivated by a cause that she genuinely believes is good, but goes about accomplishing this cause like a one-woman Crusade. In other words, she wantonly kills people for religious reasons.

: Chaotic Evil. He's a sadistic murder, and his lore very heavily implies that he has killed and tortured many animals and people.

: Chaotic Neutral. Draven's motivations are purely selfish. He is a free spirit in the sense that his loyalty lies only with himself. He serves Noxus as a champion, but he fights for himself, not for his city-state.

: Lawful Evil.

: Neutral Evil.

: Lawful Neutral. I hesitated to classify Kayle as Good, because frankly, we don't know enough. The lore for her and her sister aren't clear on whether Kayle is Good or Morgana is Evil. Morgana used dark power, but did she turn to it out of desperation or malevolence? Is Morgana a rebel or a villain? Is Kayle a tyrant or a hero? Assuming that Kayle is Good, or that Morgana is Evil, seems to be judging a book by it's cover.

: Chaotic Neutral.

: Chaotic Evil.

: Chaotic Neutral. Kog isn't really malevolent; he seems to just be barely sentient.

: Lawful Evil.

: Neutral Good.

: Lawful Neutral.

: Neutral Evil. It's easy to forget, but all of the things Nautilus does, including joining the League, are all motivated by one thing: vengeance against the sailors who abandoned him. He has no real other loyalties or causes.

: Chaotic Neutral.

: Chaotic Evil.

: Neutral Good.

: Chaotic Neutral.

: True Neutral.

: Lawful Neutral. Pantheon's actions are clearly explained by his sense of honor, but he is not bound by any personal morality/lack thereof.

: Lawful Good.

: True Neutral.

: Chaotic Evil.

: Chaotic Neutral.

: Chaotic Good.

: Chaotic Neutral.

: Neutral Good.

: Lawful Evil.

: Chaotic Evil.

: Lawful Evil.

: Lawful Neutral.

: Lawful Evil. Teemo is an unrepentant killer, but only out of loyalty to his city-state. However, he is still disturbingly willing, ready, and able to kill. His lore describes a Hannibal Lecter-esque personality; charming, but with a dark side.
