The nicest - most evil characters of Runeterra

Fasmodey·May 3, 2017·1 votes·1,395 views

Which champion is the nicest? Which champion is the most malicious, pure evil being?

I would say Ivern and Thresh but Soraka and Mordekaiser are also good rivals. What do you think?

Top 5 good champions IMO:

Ivern Soraka Braum Taliyah Lux

Top 5 evil champions IMO:

Thresh Mordekaiser Nocturne Shaco Xerath or Lissandra. They both have similar goals and actions. Both are cunning and merciless. Xerath seems more evil thanks to Bloodline but without it I would say they are equal. With an update of Freljord, we can see how evil ice bitch she is.

I'd say Hecarim is more evil than Xerath or Lissandra.

I mean the things that Xerath did before his transformation were at least done with a certain purpose and Lissandra is loyal to the watchers,which is actually kinda noble of her.

But Hecarim?The guy was a monster in life and he is one in death as well. He let his own boss die,when said boss told him that he'd choose another successor over him and he let the conflict between the ruined king and the blessed isles escalate on purpose(and he was the one who stabbed Kalista in the back). Now after his death,he roams the shadow isles and goes with the harrowing just because he wants to slaughter more people.

As a human, he still feels nicer compare to Xerath if you ask me. He was descripted as a honored warrior (as I remember - and If you exclude backstab toward Kalista), but Xerath burnt mother and her child alive. And I feel like Black Mist affects someone's personality more than Ascension Ritual and being trapped in a tomb for a really long amount of time.

Even though, you can be sure I considered him. As you know, goodness and evilness are all about perspective. They change person to person.

Well Xerath killed said mother&child,because he knew that Azir(and likely he as well) would be murdered if he didn't and with that the last hope of freeing the slaves anytime soon would have vanished as well.

But Hecarim did lots of horrible things for pretty petty reasons. He left his Captain to die because he was salty that he didn't get a promotion. He fed his king lies,driving the already mad king even more paranoid,because he wanted to invade other countries for glory And while we don't know his exact reason for betraying Kalista,it was likely either because he wanted more glory or because he just saw an opportunity for a massacre.

Which is why I'd consider Hecarim the more evil one.

Why did Xerath need to kill the mother and child though?

GreenLoreMay 4, 20171 votes

Azirs father was paranoid and thought that Azir wants to kill him. The only reason why he didn't kill Azir was because Azir was his only child left and thus his only successor(all others died in an assassination attempt).

Xerath did use magic that would only kill the childs of the queen before they could develop(basically aborting them in secret),but he seemingly missed one(not sure if he overlooked it,or if his curse simply failed) as the queen eventually gave birth to a healthy child. If said child had lived any further,then Azirs dad wouldn't have had any use for Azir,would have accused him of treachery and killed him(probably alongside all of his subjects).

Slap Veigar in the evil list instead of Shaco and that is pretty much my list.

Shaco seems more chaotic neutral to me.

FasmodeyMay 3, 20171 votes

Veigar feels like a meme to me, sorry. :P

I mean, he is evil, but how can I take someone serious enough to consider him in a top 5 list when he tries so hard to be evil?

LyndrisMay 3, 20171 votes

He only has to try so hard because he is tiny, people don't take him serious. But he corrupts COSMIC ENERGIES (for his own later use), that is some high level evil right der

FasmodeyMay 3, 20171 votes

Why would you try so hard to be evil just because people don't take you serious? Vastayans don't take yordles serious either but Tristana doesn't go full crazy.

Xerath also corrupted cosmic energy.

LyndrisMay 3, 20172 votes

He has a napoleon complex? Also did not know. But veigar did so without ascension(or was this pre-dicking azir?)

FasmodeyMay 3, 20171 votes

No you are right, Xerath did that with Ascension while Veigar does it without Ascension. Still, I don't see it as a evilness criterion. Cosmic energy is not goodness from the paradise, It is neutral. Corrupting is also not necessarily making it evil. Ascension is a ritual of corrupted cosmic energy but Ascended are generally seen as good entities.

LyndrisMay 3, 20171 votes

I will concede that Xerath is more evil, then. But ever listen to veigars original VO? Veigar Even now your loved ones suffer.

######I bet he'd be eviler if his VO was more than 1:30 mins....

Perhaps a dishonorable mention is in order?

Dude, in the burning tides, the first time you see Gangplank , you see him in the captain's cabin with an alive man tied to his table, with his leg flayed to the bone, on which the captain was doing some artsy scrimshaw. If that's not evil I don't know what is.

DestínumMay 3, 20171 votes

GP is brutal, but not evil. As far as pirates go, he's actually pretty honest and fair.

Where's Cho'Gath in that evil list? D-d-d-dissappointing.

FasmodeyMay 3, 20171 votes

I don't know. Voidborns feel to me like tyranids, not necessarily evil but savage. They don't understand human nature as Nocturne or Shaco does. And he is pretty outdated. I don't how would his perspective would change. I would see him as a equal of Vel'Koz after an update.

Still, If I was facing one of them, I would be terrified and definitely descripted them as the most evil being I ever seen before I die. :P But in generally, from the perspective of a reader, they feel like like ''meh'' compare to others.

Nocturne has sadistic pleasure for shattering someone's mind inside and torn apart their life like worthless, pathetic bug beneath your feet, because you're that worthless except being delicious.

Shaco pranks you to death, literally, because It is funny.

Thresh, no word is needed.

Mordekaiser. That would be arguable If he wasn't Thresh like, since he also tortures the souls forever. Without it, I would say he has ''logical'' goal compare to others. But no, he is sadistic, malicious and merciless.

Xerath...Bloodline has made him evil more than ever he has been. Burning people alive, hearing the screams and having sadistic pleasure? If It is not what Nasus saw, he is definitely top 5.

There are honorable mentions like Tahm Kench, Evelynn, Brand (maybe, not sure about his nature), Singed etc but I still think champions above are more evil.

LyndrisMay 3, 20171 votes

{quoted}

Brand (maybe, not sure about his nature)

He simple wants to watch the world burn, literally

FasmodeyMay 3, 20171 votes

Yes but I don't know if he is aware living beings suffer or don't. He doesn't say anything about creating suffering. He just wants to ''burn the world.'' Evil but has some complex morality compare to champions of original post.

LyndrisMay 3, 20171 votes

I wasn't trying to get him in the list, just explain

FasmodeyMay 3, 20171 votes

I got you. You know, topics like this have no a real result. Because It is all about perspectives. Killing spiders unnecessarily is evil for me but for other people it may be not. You have options to get rid of them without killing them.

LyndrisMay 3, 20171 votes

They are good at eating the more annoying insects. I don't kill mosquito hunters either. Scorpions on the other hand are dicks, so they get to die >< I'd argue brand is evil but not top tier, he feels more like a force of nature than anything. He is, simply, fire incarnate.

######Also two discussions in the same thread by us :P

ArakadiaMay 4, 20171 votes

Brand is more about cleansing, refreshing, and causing the world to be reborn. He's part of the cycle of creation from my understanding. Like you said, he doesn't really enjoy suffering.

I'd drop Taliyah for Garen. From my understanding Garen is literally a textbook LawfulGood Paladin. You don't get much more good than that unless you count the blind devotion against him.

FasmodeyMay 3, 20175 votes

Garen is nowhere a nicer person than Taliyah.

Taliyah has helped Sivir while she wasn't supposed to do, she has risked her life for Sivir, a stranger that she knows as mercinary. She has saved Nasus, she is trying to protect her people and family. She has so much nice quotes.

Then Garen, executed a man before judging him. He asked the question after he killed him. I don't know. He is not evil but has some arguable morality.

Noxian PrideMay 3, 20171 votes

I never knew much of Taliyah's history personally beyond her time with Yasuo, so I'll take your word on it and give a "Fair enough".

Ebonmaw DragonMay 3, 20171 votes

I find your lack of Veigar disturbing, he is the evilest champion of evil. WHO ELSE HAS MASTER OF EVIL AS TITLE?

Xano501May 4, 20171 votes

Warwick was most evil. But he lost memory and he can think it's good and bad.

GreenLoreMay 4, 20171 votes

He was evil in the old lore. But in the new one,he is a former criminal,who geniunly wanted to change and become an honest person. And even now in wolf form,he tries to use his powers for good(emphasis on "tries")

AlienPrimateMay 4, 20171 votes

Soraka is most definitely number 1 for nicest. She gave up her immortality and godhood to help people. In terms of selfless acts, that is about as good as it gets.
