Are Yordles Weak?
Lore wise, are yordles the weakest race in the game, because they are very squishy, small, innocent, and very socialable creatures, had this being said, and again, lore wise, are they weak without one another or just in general?

We almost know nothing about the yordles.
Really doubt that they are the weakest race out there. If anything I'd say they might be stronger than regular humans(though this might be because we've only seen the yordlechampions so far and not the average yordles)
Poppy in her comic decimates a huge rockmonster with ease,Tristana carries a cannon that is bigger than her and Kled&Skaarl have destroyed entire battalions on their own.
Not really, first of all, they are timeless magical spiritlike creatures.
But regarless of their magic and the "timeless" thing, they are way stronger than they seem...
And by that i mean pshysical strenght.
Why i do say that? Because of Poppy and her giant hammer? not really, but it is close: 
She doesnt have strenght beyond the yordle standarts as far as we see and she can carry a weapon bigger than herself with one hand without efford
The average yordle size is 0.8 meters, so that gun must be have a similar size... and she says that Boomer is a 357 caliber "handgun". She doesnt say 3.57 caliber, she says 357... that is freaking impressive.
And its not like she is the only Yordle who carries a gun like that, she is only a part of the whole army.
Considering that, i would say that Yordles in general are waaaay stronger than the average human.
The only yordle who has problems lifting objects is Veigar, Maybe his staff to be heavier that it seems. But without counting the staff that, in one animation he struggles to lift, Veigar carries a huge metalic glove, 2 metallic shoes and a not so huge metalic glove. That must be hard to lift for a tiny guy like him... but he has no problems with that.
And Gnar is technically a 4 years old Yordle, but he is able to do things that a 4 years old human would never able to do, and im not talking about his mega form. Can you imagine a kid jumping arround like that? Using boomerangs made of bones?
And if we talk about yordles being weak without one another: That is not true, just look at 
(and 
), this dude has fought all the battles of Noxus and defeated countless of enemies with and without help. Insanity does not mean weakness.
Unlikely. First off we have Poppy and Gnar, two beings that have shown high levels of physical strength (of course with Gnar it's because he hulks out, and it could be argued that it's mainly the hammer for Poppy, but she remarks that it is very heavy so idk).
But I don't think you mean physical strength. Yordles I believe have strength in their ability to hide and surprise their opponents, which leads me to believe that yordles as a whole could be considered weaker than humans. Now there are yordles that are stronger than the average human and even reach champion level power, but champions are not accurate representations of averages amongst a population (because magic is rare on this planet yet most of the cast has magical powers). So to protect themselves, they hide away. Even 
, who is potentially the smartest of the yordles, hid away when Ziggs was discovered.
So yes, I imagine that yordles are weak, hence why they hide. But it isn't impossible for them to be powerful.
as far as i know they are imortal beings, so i dont think so... - except Teemo, cause he figths unfair
Basically, we need that Bandle City Update, Riot..
