Lore Based Power Ladder

Hrd2H1t·10/13/2016, 12:18:53 AM·4 votes·1,373 views

Even though all the champions in game have around the same level of power (loosely, at least) in the lore some champions are obviously stronger. Here's what I imagine the power ladder to be.

TIER 1 (GODLY BEINGS - - Only two champions are near worthy of this tier, the forger of stars and the embodiment of death itself.

TIER 2 (ASPECTS) - - While they have human bodies, they embody extremely powerful entities.

TIER 3 (DARKIN) - - While only one is in the game, Darkin are extremely powerful creatures. Aatrox could easily defeat most champions in battle.

TIER 4 (ASCENDED) - - While not as powerful as they may appear, they still are nothing to scoff at.

TIER 5 (GREATER MAGES) - - These are not just the normal mages that inhabit Runeterra, these are mages that are all so powerful that they have to potential to take over the world (and many try to.)

TIER 6 (GREATER WARRIORS AND BEASTS) - - Few humans can reach this level of power. Through either finesse, brute strength, or both, they can destroy nearly anything.

TIER 7 (LEADERS) - - These champions aren't the most combat proficient, but they have massive political power.

TIER 8 (LESSER MAGES, WARRIORS AND BEASTS) - ALL UNLISTED CHAMPIONS - These are all the other mages, warriors, and etc. Strong fighters, but nothing too special.

TIER 9 (FRIENDLY SPIRITS) - - These champions just do not have very much power, they are not built to fight.

TIER ? (UNKNOWN POWER) - - The lore of these champions are both very vague. While they are both definitely powerful, their true power is unknown.

If you think any champions should be higher or lower on the ladder, please let me know. I would love to start a discussion.

How are the ascended weaker than the aspect. Did you not read bloodline, xerath can mind control people and melt stone...

While not as powerful as they may appear

TRIGGERED

Nasus can fight with mortal armies singlehandly. Has power of siphoning souls, aging mortals with combine of immense physical strikes and he is weaker than Aspects lol? Leona has trouble against mortal rogues please. Diana nearly has been killed against few voidborns.

And Xerath, he shit on Nasus so bad he was nearly completely crushed by few hand moves lol. Xerath can success mind control, can melt stones and metals in short periods, can create lightning bolts and sand storms. He also has telekinetic powers. And lastly his Ascension gift, arcane magic. Those are just we saw in Bloodline and you say he is weaker than Ascepts.

Even his bound form is more powerful than all Aspects in mortal vessels we saw combined.

Even I think Aatrox is powerful, he is not in the same level of Ascended IMO. He show nothing in lore. Not even his gameplay skills are impressive. He sustains from blood, woah, much useful against undead and beings like Xerath, such potential.

Viktor is not even a mage in lore lol. Yorick is not a mage either. He just controls a part of Black Mist by the gift that he gained in his birth somehow.

Yasuo is nowhere in the same level of champions in his tier list you put him. The closest one is Zed and even he is much more powerful than Yasuo.

Saying Mordekaiser has no combat power is like the second best meme. He is by far the most powerful undead in Shadow Isles as known, terrifyingly strong being that tended mortals to be become allies. He is both leader and tremendous oppenent. There are few entities that can fight against him and survive. Not even Ascendeds except Xerath can defeat him, at least if even it is possible, definitely not easily.

Tier 7 Bard is actually the best meme in this thread. Even I think he has no combat power of Aurelion Sol and Xerath, he is definitely more powerful than %95 of champion in combat, a circumstance that he is not supposed to be powerful. He is wiser and more intelligent than Aurelion Sol, if he ever needed to defeat him, he would.

Sion should be tier 6 by your list specifications.

Edit: and Mordekaiser should be tier 5 at least.

Aspects are also not stronger than the ascended.

There are many inconsistencies with this tier system, not to mention placing the wrong people in wrong tiers.

The Fiddlesticks point is very true in the sense that all the lore gives us is that anyone who saw him died or went insane. Logistically, I can see reason for him to be up moderately on the list, I can still understand the current place.

Mordekaiser is the most powerful Being in the shadow isles, all others are considered lesser undeads(regardless of their statut in their previous lives,they were all victims of the black Mist while it just empowered Morde who was already a threat to all kingdoms

PS: read bard's lore.just because he is a support doesn't mean he can't wreck worlds.

Uhh... I know that lasers and chaos storms of the glorious evolution are powerfull, but you cant compare Viktor with an actual mage that can has tons of Power like Syndra, Veigar or Ryze. The same goes for that girl that uses rocks as weapons.

Mordekaiser is the "leader" of the SHADOW ISLES, you cant compare that with a random kingdom of humans, and aside from that, he can easily defeat some guys on tiers 2 3 5 6.

Lissandra is a "Leader" just like Sejuani and Ashe/Tryndamere...

If the Darkin were so powerfull... why there are only 5 left? He should be in tier "?" along side Shaco, Nocturne and Brand.

Okay, the "Alien Targonians" are powerfull in their "original" forms... But the Human bodies called "Aspects" are frail.

Yasuo and Zed in the same power Lvl of Chogath, Malphite, Anivia and Tahm Kench? Really?

And Bard is THE most powerfull champion of League, just because he is friendly doesnt mean that he cant make you dissapear.

When Jax isn't high up on the list when his lore literally talks about how bs he is. Btw, Morde was a monster in his lore. He was unkillable since he kept getting revived and took down an entire army before his first death. He became even stronger when he became undead so, you might want to put him at least on Hecarim's level.

Bard Is not a friendly spirit. He is True Neutral. In his trailer, he doomed a village of Ionians to a bunch of Noxian soldiers because they used a powerful artifact they weren't supposed to use. Bard does anything he can to make sure the universe isn't destroyed. I would even see him, if this is what it came to, brutally kill a guy if it's what it took to save the universe. Bard can bind time and space. That could easily play him in Tier 1.
