All Yordles have something wrong with them mentally

YayCakes··7 votes·2,362 views

Teemo: Something along the lines of split or multiple personality disorder. Read his lore. Corki: PTSD. He misses war and battle. That's why he joined the league. Tristana: Sadism and megalomania. "Look at the pretty explosions!" Poppy: Seemingly the most sane but she suffers from PTSD (same as Corki) due to witnessing her father's death. Plus there's a possibility of some sort of autism. "I don't have any jokes" or something like that. Lulu : Can't place anything on her. But she lived a long time ago and probably has autism. Also I'm pretty sure Pix is evil and is manipulating her somehow. Veigar: Obvious. SVS (Super Villain Syndrome) and megalomania. Plus he's just downright crazy from his time in prison. Heimerdinger: Can't place anything on him, either, but he talks to himself a lot and is quite narcissistic. His intelligence could be at the cost of Asperger's. Kennen: ADHD. Not mental but still important to note. Also, I've never played Kennen so can someone help me with his quotes so I can place something? Rumble: He has incredibly strong emotions, causing him to be jealous, a megalomaniac and sadistic because he laughs when he torches people. Gnar: He's prehistoric and can turn mega. This is basically split personality, but since we don't know much about him, that's all he has for now. Ziggs: There seems to be a lot of megalomania here. Plus he likes to see explosions and his favourite hobby is demolition. His laughing and carelessness when throwing bombs could also mean sadism. Amumu : Depressed and undead. Also has an anger problem, I mean, his E is "Tantrum"

That's all I could come up with for now. I apologize for any mistakes I might've made with the mental illnesses and/or the quotes and lore, I don 't have a lot of knowledge on the mental illnesses and the symptoms, but I'm still sure that they all have something wrong with them, which is probably why they joined the league.

Wait isn't Amumu this way because Annie doesn't love him? Or is it because he can't find his true identity?

dustwind81 votes

consumed with an uncontrollable sadness. from his lore

It's ingrained into him... and he also has an ability called tantrum, which would be anger, he is infatuated with Annie even though Annie didn't do anything to make him so, doesn't know who he is...

just take a look here and notice how many of those symptoms he fits

I think Kennen is just a crack addict.

so basically lulu and tristana are extremly dangerous when bored.

dustwind81 votes

Well, for Lulu, if she is Schizophrenic, It does not mean she /IS/ dangerous. I have a few friends with diagnosed mental disorders and none of them become harmful when bored, or have posed a threat to another person. A few have posed threats to themselves and one time A friend nearly jumped off her roof because the voices were telling her she could fly. We got her down and drove her to a hospital. She had ECT treatment and she is a lot better now, not cured but better. There is no real cure for mental disorders. Every day is a battle and sometimes meds are the only way to win the fight.

Tell me one single League Champion who isn't mentally wrong. Every one of them are sadistic, as they participate in bloodshed and can still laugh in the face of danger.

SecretAgentHulk2 votes

Kog'Maw, arguably. Soraka probably, and I think Braum is motivated more by support tendencies than a desire for bloodshed. But anyway the point stands.

The Neverworld2 votes

Kog'maw has a suppressed mind. He feasts on everything, people and objects equally. No sense of seeing things having value - destructive.

Soraka - Stockholm-Syndrome

dustwind81 votes

I would love to hear how Soraka suffers from Stockholm Syndrome when she was never held captive, she was tricked, but never captured. Plus i noticed how you ignored Braum who is relatively sane, except for the fact that he has the need to protect everyone at his expense.

On another note, your OP is both right and wrong. You are wrong in the sense that these people are freely fighting knowing that they wont be dead or killing another. When you remove the fact of death from the equation this becomes more like training where they hope to get stronger by fighting. You are right in the sense that no league champ is going to be completely mentally okay. Infact, no person in this world is going to be completely mentally okay really. Given enough time, and questioning, therapy, and analysis, eventually, something "wrong" mentally will be found in all of us... the plethora of issues that exist are near infinite.

Stockholm Syndrome isn't only applied to hostages, but also from victims of criminals. People talk mostly about the cases of hostages, because normally people don't feel any symphaty or have any empathy left for a criminal. While the criminal holds the victim in hostage, there is plenty time to study and learn more about the criminals. Soraka though, was too stupid, or lets say too blindfolded, and felt empathy for a criminal. And I didn't "Ignore Braum", I didn't say anything because there isn't anything to say. This is no game "uhhh, he didn't say anything about that. Let's tell him he's a loser".

While we see the League of Legends from a virtual way, the League of Legends and its people are somewhat real. They might not die permanently, but they die. You see how their death animation shows us that they somewhat feel what has inflicted upon them. Those who continuously participate, aren't mentally correct in their heads.

My comment was basically against the idea of judging only Yordles.

I never called you a loser, i pointed out that you ignored that part of the response. I didnt attack you in any sense.

Showing empathy doesn't mean one has Stockholm Syndrome...

Stockholm syndrome, or capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with them

She would have to emphasize, be sympathetic, AND defend Warwick... she does NONE of those things in the end. She came down to defend Warwick because he wanted to trick a god so that he can gain

strength that transcended his limited human form.

He devised a way to trick her into the human world, and she fell for the trick, partially. when he betrayed her she,

Feeling humiliated and betrayed she called once more on the power of the stars, searing his flesh and cursing his cruelty.

So in no way does she have Stockholm Syndrome

On your other point, the Champion's dont really show that they feel any pain. When the summoned body takes too much damage to function it ceases (MEDABOTS!). Most champions will make noises someway, but let's use jinx as an example... Listen to the sound... She goes BLAH, like sticking her tongue out or making a "this is lame" sound. Lets look at a shrieking sound, Cassiopea... Is she screaming out of pain, or could it be frustration? Unless Riot has stated that these people feel their deaths, we have to assume that the Fields of Justice is a SAFE place where the strongest can fight freely, No fear of death, Thus this is like practicing.

You should read everything i wrote before and realize that I did not attack you merely pointed out a few things. I backed you up about some points and i pointed out flaws in others. I also pointed out that you partially responded, only picking out points that made you look good and disregarded acknowledging points in favor of others. You can't discus by ignoring certain things people have said.

I'm not sure if you actually know what autism is... But I'm pretty damn sure that neither poppy or lulu are autistic.

DropFill1 votes

Almost every single champion is mentally wrong. Yordles are kind of psicopathic though, since they don't feel they are doing something wrong

ChaosThief1 votes

psychopathic* for one. Two, Not EVERY champion is mentally wrong. Sure, there are a lot that are, but what about Yasuo ? Is he mentally wrong for being forced to fight everyone he once thought was a hero?

The MechE1 votes

...Did you just call Poppy autistic?

And how is Lulu sane? She's obviously disconnected with reality to an extreme level.
