I mean Jarvan is a human and he can slam the ground so hard that a formation of a rock cage appears. Meanwhile vi has 1000 pound gauntlets and singed can throw chogath over his head. So are humans sort of stronger in Runeterra?
Peridition5 votesIsn't this the case in every fantasy setting, ever?
Ralanr5 votesKinda.
Plus Jarven went through personal training and Singed I'm convinced is hopped up on drugs 24/7
Sharjo2 votesI think that generally, the idea is that humans in Runeterra have a "greater potential" than ordinary humans. It might be down to innate magic in them or just because Riot wants things to be super amazing as sod, but humans can be as weak as normal humans or godlike by our own standards, with the idea that humans can even transcend their own physical limitations and become something more being paramount.
It's kinda like in One Piece, where humans can gain such amazing potential through training alone, without any other stimuli. There's a whole power called Haki which is essentially transcending human limitations to allow your will to have an impact on the physical world, either through six sense or being able to bring harm to intangible things. Zoro's probably the best example you see; he's super strong through just his own strength and merit, but far stronger than any human in the real world. He threw a house once. He can make an illusion with his own force of will that can actually harm people and physically damage things. He can lose more blood than humans naturally have and still survive, and he's just a human.
It's all about that human potential stuff.

True. I would like to believe that all humans in runeterra have magic in them that allows them to do certain things. Like how lux is able to use light magic, and garen can bring down a magic sword on someone.
Ralanr1 votesI've always considered Garen's sword to be enchanted and Lux was taught her magic (like being taught math).
I don't think humans are innately magical. Anyone can acquire magic through some means.
CasterGilgamesh1 votesYou ever heard of fate zero or fate stay night unlimited blade works?My theory is that all humans in the league of legends have a Noble Phantasm in the form of their spells (if not a Mage)
Ebonmaw Dragon1 votesWell, have you ever tried to throw chogath over your head?
Maybe he is not heavy as he looks.
TurquoiseYoshi5 votesYes. It's actually not that tough. He's made of Styrofoam and grape juice.
Star Guardían1 votesI think Jarvan uses magic to do that (not sure tho). Put Vi's gauntlets are Hextech powered.
TenshouSNK1 votesDude, we could just nuke their entire world and be done with it no? We don't even have to send troops down there.
A United Earth against a United Runeterra?
We will win!
