The fact that Braum may have been inspired by Angus the Puncher in any way makes him the winner to me.

Braum is good and all, and he did give us "STAND BEHIND BRAUM!", but he lacks the pizzazz and intimidation of Velkoz . Plus, the sound effects on Vel'Koz are some of the best in the game.

Velkoz, hands down. The other champions are cool and all, but Vel'Koz in on a whole different level.

Kozzy or Braum. The least overloaded and most thematically concise of all of them. Azir is cool but doesn't feel very smooth, and has some unesseccary power (E knockup?). Gnar is overloaded and has a couple of awkward things with his skills that make him a little unclear, but a great design otherwise. Kalista is just all over the place, a mess overall, which is quite a shame given how cool her passive, Q, and E mechanics are. Reksai is just too early to tell, but I think she might be a bit overhyped since people really seem to want to play up the fact that she is female, despite her not doing any "female monster" things.

Velkoz's ability to own the battlefield gives him the edge. Plus, that ultimate is the best in the game.

Its between Kalista and Rek'Sai for me.

Kalista -2 interesting/highly unique passives -ult that is very interesting, with high playmakin' ceiling -will be exciting to watch in competitive play

Rek'Sai -sound design -burrowing mechanic -vision mechanic/movement detection when burrowing acting as a weakness

At the end, my vote goes to Rek'Sai for having an 'unique weakness'. Common weaknesses in league Champions include resource restrictions, mobility restrictions, damage restrictions. Rek'Sai's vision weakness adds something truly unique to the game.

Um... But kalista has like 4 or 5 passives hidden here and there.. And her ult can be either play-making or support/free out of jail card And her main passive totally ruins fair play vs all non-gap closing melees

Edit: did you know that you can ult dead karthus? And he still knockups targets? That's just retarded :|

Azir

Azir can be played in so many ways and places. So new that no one knows how.
