As much as I love the lore it exaggerates about the champions power in a false way

Take AurelionSol for example, described to be the first being when reality itself was formed and him being able to destroy and form stars at his grasp, and in-game he feels really underwhelming because most champions beat him (like a yordle scout using poison darts) which makes the whole powerful celestial part a bit questionable.

Not to mention he is massive based off of lore, I watched this video comparison a while back where Aurelion is so massive that his eye is the size of Graves full body. He is by far the biggest being in Runeterra.

I know that it would be somewhat impossible for Riot to make his real size work in game but I feel that such emphasis about his size and him as a celestial dragon makes him in-game a bit disappointing not to be rude.


Other champion examples of a similar case would be...

Kindred 2 literal essenses of death, 2 hunters who supposedly lived for aeons based on their in-game voice lines. Can be killed really easily by anyone dispite them being the Ethernal Hunters, making their theme not exactly accurate. While Kindred's R that stops all life from dying inside the circle is the one of the only abilities in the kit that somewhat fits the theme most.

"How long will we be together? Forever more."

Malphite Described to be a literal mountain, still as small as any basic character in game.

.

Nocturne Described to be the cause of why people in (name of region) had been having nightmares every day. Yet thematically in game his ultimate is the only ability that scares players about him because the rest of his kit is underwhelming.

Separate the lore from the gameplay, hell unless its on the universe website then it's non-canon (half of the stuff we have in game isn't canon) Then it all becomes much more enjoyable

Cho is meant to be huge as well, his base model with no stacks is tiny but then real sizes don't match up with in game models.

I'd have more concern that Malphite, as being made of rock has less armour than Maokai....a tree. Or the anti magic being in Galio, who's real height is several storeys, who is made of anti-magic rock has less MR than Talon... a guy with knives. Of course why Talon has 39 base MR at all is beyond me, never understood that buff.
