Best Swordsman or Swordswoman (

So seeing the new skins for yasuo and riven got me wondering which league champion is the best at wielding a sword ? Personally I think it's either or because they seem to have a lot of technique involved in their style. and are the worst in my opinion because they look like they're just swinging and smashing their swords around. is a defender so exceptional swordplay doesn't seem all that important to her. Would count here ? Is her weapon considered a sword ? kinda falls into the swinging and smashing category. too, maybe (who knows, he's so damn mysterious). is a strong contender for best swordsman. By lore, would be the best if he had a sword lol.

What do you guys think ?

Aatrox, Kayle and such would probably be among the best, I mean they lived for that long for a reason.

Otherwise beyond the literal god-tier, the one right below would probably be someone like Yi, if his old lore still apply that is, where he's a mortal human who'd managed to live hundred or thousands of years because of his sword techniques. This is kinda the demi-god status.

The rest are about on the same level, all monstrously strong, but none that's distinctively over another. Maybe Trynd, if he gets really, really angry one day.

Oh, nobody knows who Jax is anymore. We're just gonna wait for his lore update or something.

The problem here is that they all wield different sword types with their own inherent strengths and weaknesses. So you can't really classify them with each other. As for the actual best blade masters period, that'd be Katarina's father, followed by her, followed by Talon, at least according to old lore.

You can't really compare different types of swords to one another; using a rapier is a different martial art than using a greatsword.

By the way, Garen and Riven are extremely skilled. It takes a lot of skill to wield a greatsword, claymore, or a zweihander, and historically in real life, fighters actually able to wield those sorts of swords (There weren't many who could) were some of the most skilled and most feared fighters ever.
