Based solely on lore, character design, What champion is the WEAKEST?

Maximum Zilean·Dec 21, 2014·4 votes·2,704 views

Since a common topic i've seen is "What champion is strongest based on lore" (Usually ends with Xerath or Aatrox winning), i'm wondering what everyone considers the weakest based on lore, and character design.

!!!!!DO NOT TAKE IN GAME BALANCE INTO CONSIDERATION FOR THIS!!!!!

Personally I feel this goes to , He was designed to protect someone important, But when he failed that mission he sorta just vanished from sight and now just sits on demacian rooftops like a derp.

Nunu without his Yetti.

Well, Nunu can obviously use magic. :P He's not throwing regular snowballs.

I don't know, maybe Rumble without his robot? But that's just cruel to take away the only thing he has in his life xD Tristana Teemo item 3070 Rumble

in all honesty Corki u.u and he's my main, but really, he could be so much more than a retired veteran with no goals at all ._.

Garen or Darius. They're just guys with large weapons. Nothing magical about them.

they're both recognized as having a massive importance to the military operations of their respective sides.

I don't really consider the new lore to even exist.

Gangplank Seriously, he's a pirate. A very good pirate, but a pistol is only going to take you so far.

Yorick

He's just a guy with a shovel, nobody really knows what he can do with ghosts outside of the game, but it's probably not much.

I love him and all, but he's just a guy doing his job

KrizalidDec 21, 20146 votes

You must admit that he doesn't feel pain, he doesn't need to rest and these moments already make him more powerful than most of human characters. And look at those giant hands! There must be some power in them.

Terra BoomaDec 21, 20141 votes

Well, there's no proof that he doesn't feel pain, in fact, I've always thought of him of that "Endless task." Sort of pain/suffering. thing

Like that boulder guy in greek mythology

AnidanDec 23, 20141 votes

Sisyphus, if you were wondering about his name and didn't already google it. It is he for whom the Sisyphean task is named after.

Vi. She has big gloves. You shoot her or cut her or blast her with magic and she just dies.

Yeah any fighter in reality would be destroyed by the magic weilders, But what were to happen if lets say they got punched in the face directly? It will hurt. Alot.

Meaning Vi is still credible for being powerful.

Kinda, If you look at his in game model he isn't even throwing them. Nunu just leans forward slightly and they start flying. Damn he needs a visual update...

ShynkleDec 22, 20141 votes

Well, you didn't say "which champions aren't powerful", you asked who was the weakest. In perspective, she is only a cop. She isn't some renowned war hero like Garen or Darius.

GreenLoreDec 24, 20141 votes

But being a cop is still a job that requires physical fitness,not like the job of many other champs like Heimerdinger Cassiopeia

Not to mention that Vi is able to punch through walls,I doubt that hse'd go down that fast....

ShynkleDec 24, 20141 votes

Alright, I'll give you that, but humor me. Name someone who she could 100% beat if they were to fight.

I like Vi's story, being a criminal before being converted by Caitlyn to becoming a fellow officer.

Yorick. You can put the whole thing on a napkin. One made for gnomes. I feel like Reksai had so much more effort and she doesn't even talk.

GreenLoreDec 21, 20141 votes

I'd say Cassiopeia could be rather low in terms of strenght,considering that she didn't have to have any fighting power before she was transformed and her transformation seems to be rather new,so I doubt she is as experienced as Janna Lux or Veigar ,not to mention that if these things are true,she'd lack combat experience in general.

EphamenneDec 22, 20141 votes

I'd have to say Zilean takes the cake.

I know he is immortal, but I want to point out two things: He can be killed by others and his mental health is dependent on the powerful summoning magics employed by the league. His lore states he mentally drifts to any time in the past, reliving events because he "detached his consciousness from its anchor in the present time" as a result of his research. This means if Zilean had to venture away from the League I could simply capture/kill him WHEN his consciousness drifted away. Yes, his one offensive magic is pretty strong but I'm sure if somebody really wanted to keep him as a captive like VIktor would be possible for them to construct a magic prison that forced a state of silence and/or interrupt.

Saying X champ is weak without Y thing, weapon, magic or companion... is not fair. I mean, urgot without tech is dead and many champs are normal persons.

Taric Taric. No one knows anything about his back story or his old world, just that he is almost like a Samurai Jack being dropped into a different world. Hell the wondering knight thing would be interesting to know also. Since Riot's been doing this whole bigger world story and connection to other champs, I think the gem knights past should be a bit more known about.

SquirrelzillazDec 22, 20141 votes

I would Definetly Say Gangplank and MissFortune pirates with pistols, thats it, i suppose they have sips backing them though, id say theyre a solid guess. i mean they have no armor and a flintlock pistol for a weapon

also Draven im not sure those axes would really be effective and they would have to sweetspot. getting hit by the handle wouldnt be very effective. plus u would have to throw them relly hard and accurately.

TerffDec 22, 20143 votes

It says in his lore that nobody escapes draven's axes because he throws them perfectly.

Do not underestimate the powers of teleportation. They are extremely awesome.

He can also enchant his cards to be cutting edges.

Teleport, throw cards, teleport, throw cards, repeat.

Can't hit what you can't see.

Ezreal is just a plain ol' explorer that happens to find a magic gauntlet that shoots light "arrows".

Seriously though... what kind of combat would he actually know?

i would say mini-gnar, but if he was in a cinematic riot would make him that comic relief guy who always manages to accidentally subdue the enemy scooby-doo style.

ModCaptainMårvelousDec 31, 20141 votes

Ezreal

Why?

No formal or self-taught combat training. He forewent combat training/magical training in favor of being an explorer
Skills he brings to a table in combat (Cartography, Exploring, etc) might be useful in a survival battle but NOT in a death arena
Zero actual prowess in magic or combat. Again, he forewent these skills and instead opted to be an explorer
The only reason Ezreal is even in the League is that he has a "cheat" (The magic glove) that lets him access his innate magic power without practice, studying or even information.

Ezreal is a normal guy in a league of super humans...except unlike normal guys like Garen who train so hard they become the peak of human ability, he just has a power glove that lets him cheat.

WaffinsDec 31, 20141 votes

Nautilus without the league his search would be halted, he would question his own existence. This would cause him to be depressed. No league , No revenge ( Or Mermaids to chase Nami , he was a sailor after all).
