Tier list based on lore power (debate welcome)

SteelMankind·6/27/2017, 7:23:01 PM·2 votes·1,199 views

No specific oder within the tiers, just the order I thought of them in. Let me know if you think any tiers should be shuffeled around, or if you think an individual belongs in a different tier than the one I placed them in.

I'm pretty set on the early ones, but much of the middle and lower tiers are very much up for debate. Are Yordles stronger than we think? Are skilled fighters like Garen, Xin Zhao, and Jarvan on par with the likes of Master Yi and Shen? Do Lissandra and Zyra count as Elementals?

Hopefully Sharjo sees this and is willing to help.

Not enough information Shaco, Dr. Mundo

Update: Removed category names because its an unfair way to tier things. Very unsure of the placement of most of the void creatures, undead, and Yordles, but everything else I'm happy with.

Ascended are not Undead and are more powerful than the most powerful humans.

Also, Aurelion Sol > Kindred. Kindred is a spirit unique to Runeterra from what we know. She has nothing on old Sol.

Sol is the most powerful character in the lore, bar none.

isn't urgot an undead mech guy or something and with nami trundle voli they have some magic to them because being able to summon tidal waves ice pillars and imbuing claws with thunder tend to be quite magical and didn't ezreal get magic because of some pendant he found exploring?

Making a list of power based on their race or origin is kinda... wrong.

For Example, Mordekaiser and Yorick are way more powerfull than other undeads. Veigar, Lulu, Poppy and Gnar are way more powerfull than other yordles. Is said that Rek Sai is way more powerfull than other void creatures... heck, void creatures in general are more powerfull than "void humans".

And Mundo should be waaaaaaaay more up in the list, considering that he is basically indestructible (as far as we know) and is not even confirmed to be human.

Brand also fought against 2 Ascended and Survived, he should be more powerfull.

First, Syndra was not altered, she was born with magic. Second, Cho is a voidborn. Third, Irelia should be in talented human more than undead, she's not undead. Next, Yorick is a corrupted human, he is not undead; Thresh, Hecarim, Kalista are already dead, they are just depending on their souls; Evelynn might not be an undead as she's not even human. We don't know what Mundo is, he was born giant and purple, he didn't give those changes to himself. About Shaco, there's no theory what race he is, so far. The only thing we know that he's not mankind

I remember when anivias old lore depicted, that she accumulated all the knowledge of her previous lives of her old world ( reminder : anivia originaly was not a being born in runeterra, but in a completly different world) that KNEW! she would one day be called by the summoners to runeterra. In her new lore, she is basicaly the warden off the freljord, with her knowledge fading as she gets reborn again. She doesn't even remember, how it came to be. ....

old anivia lore > new anivia lore

Still, her current role is not only that off an elemental. She basicaly is depicted as the spirit of the freljord. (If the freljord is corrupted, so is she)Stating she is nothing but an elemental doesnt cut it. Would classify her as Soul of the freljord or similiar. Anivia

I would put Xerath at a higher tier than Brand.

The coffin that failed 8even with the addition of magic chains) to bind Xerath had been safely containing Brand for centuries and it was again Xerath who freed him in the first place.
