What would certain Champions Fear?

Maple Crusader··2 votes·1,824 views

Here's a list of what I believe certain champions would see when they get feared or affected by Malzahar's Malefic Visions. For many champions, I noticed that many of them would have suffered from PTSD, so in my head canon, these champions would remember their past traumatic memories if they get feared or Space Aids.

Ahri Ahri: Having her life essence painfully drained out by her past self. Amumu Amumu: Being completely alone. Anivia Anivia: Transforming into a merciless Blackfrost Cryophoenix. Azir Azir: Witnesses his family and his Shurima be destroyed by the power of his failed Ascension. Blitzcrank Blitzcrank: Loss of his sentience. Brand Brand: Entombed in ice again (claustrophobia and frigophobia) Draven Draven: No one cares who he is, or ironically, Draven is intensely creeped out by seeing everyone and everything having his face.
Galio Galio: Being completely petrified and helpless as his allies die around him, in a situation which resembled how his creator died. Graves Graves: Being locked away into a tiny cell. Jinx Jinx: Her guns decided to turn against her; they malfunction and blow up in her face. Kassadin Kassadin: He sees the Void's monsters consume Runeterra. KogMaw Kog'Maw: Becomes so immensely hungry that he eats himself. LeeSin Lee Sin: Sees the boy he killed and village he destroyed when he was a summoner in training. Lissandra Lissandra: Relives the experience of her eyes being gouged out by an Ursine during her youth. Lucian Lucian: Becomes what he hates, a cruel apparition, not unlike Thresh. Lux Lux: Has a mental breakdown. MasterYi Master Yi: His traumatic memories of his village being devastated by Singed's chemicals re-emerge. Nami Nami: Her people are completely wiped out, extinct. She failed in her quest to find the moonstone. Nidalee Nidalee: Her cougar family is slaughtered and her home in the jungle is razed to the ground. Olaf Olaf: He peacefully passes away instead of dying in combat. Riven Riven: Goes through the PTSD incident where she and her comrades were gassed by Singed. Shaco Shaco: Death becomes boring, no longer funny or entertaining for him. Sejuani Sejuani: She and her tribe subjugated or she sees herself becoming a soft, delicate housewife.
Sion Sion: Briefly gains clarity of what he has become and becomes mortified of his undead condition. Sona Sona: Loses her ethwahl, her most invaluable tool which allows her to communicate. Soraka Soraka: Being torn apart by Warwick. Syndra Syndra: Loses her magic and her floating fortress crumbles on top of her. TwistedFate Twisted Fate: Being unable to control his teleportation ability. Lady luck has essentially left him. Vayne Vayne: Being killed by the witch who killed her parents. Varus Varus: The Pit of Pallas swiftly corrupts his body. His will is now Pallas'. Velkoz Vel'Koz: Being dissected alive. Viktor Viktor: His logical, Evolution driven mind is overwhelmed by the depressive thoughts which he experienced when Blitzcrank was stolen from him. His body is reverted to fully human. Yasuo Yasuo: Haunted by the ghost of his brother, Yone, who he had killed.

I think he fears helplessness the most; what power and freedom he has earned are taken away from him.

A nice bath.

But in reality, being caught by any of Zaun's scientists. I always think Twitch and Zaun both hate each other with a huge fervor.

I'm not entirely sure about the Soraka one. Don't get me wrong, it is a very frightening thought that would cross Sorakas mind but that seem more along the lines of primal fear.

I think a bigger fear for Soraka would be her lossing what little connection she has left with the stars. To be completely isolated from the constellations and not come to her aid when they are called upon. That is more along the lines of a psychological fear.

Hmm... funny... in my headcanon, Soraka's actually starting to realize she has some issues with the Stars: She's a being who clearly wants to help and protect people, but since she wasn't allowed to leave her grove for presumably centuries, she could only help the people who managed to come to her.

Now that she's outside, she'd realize just how many people she COULDN'T save because she was confined to the Grove: soldiers slowly and painfully dying from bloodless, terminally ill that are too sick to even move, etc. etc.

At the very least, it'd probably lead her to question why she had to be kept away people she could have easily healed, and gladly would heal.

But that's just me and my theory.


On to the topic of the thread, I'd like to think that, since Gnar isn't aware of his transformation, that he'd be afraid of the 'monster' that keeps making a path of destruction, leaves huge claw marks, and scares everyone he meets.

I'm pretty curious as to why she was created in the first place. What purpose was there for the stars creating her? I'm also kinda curious as to how well known was Soraka before the WW incident? I mean a being that can heal any wounds has to reach the ears of a good number of people, stuff like that has to intrigue someone.

In her previous lore she was deity, so with the retcon what changed? Was she well known as a deity or was she a hidden secret in Ionia. There's a lot we don't know about Soraka or how much influence she had or still has in Ionia. I hope with the new lore we can get some new insight about everyone's favorite goat lady.

................................................................................................................. Read sorakas/ww lore.. jesus man "Now he seeks the blood of Soraka to stabilize his transformation before his mind gives way to the feral urges of the beast. "

why would she not fear that.

I'm very well aware of her lore. Where did I say she wouldn't be afraid of that? I'm just saying losing what little connection Soraka has to the stars is probably a greater fear for her.

Hey this is an interesting topic. Let me chime in for the rest unmentioned:

Akali : Witnesses Zed slaughtering Shen and Kennen, because she didn't act quicker to kill Zed like she planned / Being told by her mother that she failed being the successor of the title Fist of Shadow.

Ashe : Avarosa tribe being slaughtered and she is kept as a prisoner/trophy just to witness Freljord collapse further due to winter/further conflicts.

Braum : A horde of demons trampling over him, but enough so he did not die, but wakes up just in time to see everything he tried to protect destroyed.

Caitlyn : The destruction of Piltover. And apparently she's to blame because she wasn't quick enough to solve one crime.

Darius : Seeing the corrupt nobles he executed came back to life and reclaims position within Noxus, once again running it down to ground. They also get immunities against Darius' head chop.

Diana : Reliving what happens if the Moon didn't save her from the execution by the Solari.

Fiora : Seeing the House Laurent name further down the mud.

Gangplank : Saw someone else usurp his claim as the most dreadful pirate in Valoran and continually beating him until he got no crews left.

Garen : Seeing Demacia fall and everyone believing that Demacia's values are nothing but fraud (this is especially possible with Lux's League Judgment. If everyone ends up believing that because of it, Demacia's creed of protection of justice are considered fraud, this won't do well for Garen)

JarvanIV : Getting too blood thirsty that his fellow Demacians assassinate him before he became a big threat.

Kennen : Zed is forgiven and the Kinkou Order rose again... but this was all Zed's trick to let everyone else's guard down, because of Kennen's suggestion, the Order fell to an even worse crisis, because Shen and Akali are the first casualties.

Leblanc : Her illusion gains sentience, and then kills her to take over her place. Or worse, her illusion dumps her to a mirror so she can take over LeBlanc's place as the original just watched. (Anyone reading Doraemon manga should know this...)

Leona : Being declared heretic by the Solari and executed.

Lulu : Veigar and Gnar and even Pix left her alone, thinking that she's annoying, and then Lulu becomes a psychotic Yordle much like Veigar.

MissFortune : Meets the pirate that killed of her mother... then finding out that she's beaten so soundly, and she is imprisoned, which has an effect of the plummet of her reputation as a bounty hunter and her charisma amongst the people of BIlgewater.

Mordekaiser : The souls he enslaved turn against him and overpower him.

Nasus : Defeated by Renekton, he's sealed inside a pyramid by Renekton to 'feel his pain'. Centuries later, Nasus was released and became as crazy as Renekton all while the cycle of life and death are in chaos with no one to deal with it.

Pantheon : The Rakkor tribe is destroyed via a strategy, rather than a fair war/combat.

Renekton : Being imprisoned. By Nasus. AGAIN.

Shen : Slips up and struck down Zed with anger in his father's name when he's supposed to surpress them, causing him to lose the Eye of Twilight and proven unworthy to protect balance.

Shyvana : Seeing Jarvan flat out say she's worthless, has no place in Demacia and ditches her

Teemo : He becomes the psychotic killer that he feared himself to the point of befriending Tristana.

Tristana : Becomes the first victim of 'psycho Teemo'

Tryndamere : Even with his anger further, Aatrox still beats and eventually killed him.

Vi : Loses her fight against Jinx and witnesses her blowing Piltover up.

XinZhao : Sees Jarvan dead, showing that he failed to protect the Lightshield family.

Shyvana : Losing either half of herself, either becoming a mindless beast or a helpless human. Syndra : Losing her powers completely, OR losing control of them and tearing herself apart. Kayle : Losing to Morgana, OR the crushing guilt she'd feel over Morgana's death if she wins. Morgana : Losing to Kayle, OR the thought that Kayle was right all along and, after they destroy the angels, Morgana's adopted people will destroy themselves as well. Ahri : Reverting back to her old soul-eating ways. Lissandra : Dying before she can release the Watchers, OR freeing them only to find they have no more use for her. Soraka : Completely losing her connection with the stars.

Actually, I also thought about this idea.

Malzahar : Losing his prophecy/connection to the void and being "human" again

Morgana : Killing her sister. After all, they are related

Zed : That the shadow overcomes him (Zed-Nocturne-Theory)/losing his ability and his Order of Shadow

I have the strong feeling, Sejuani is more afraid that her tribe starved. Ofc, she would never tolerate the weakness getting soft, but they are more scary things for her.

I'm not so sure about Morgana having a fear about killing Kayle. They may be family, but they have waged a nearly endless war over how their people were supposed to be governed. If there were more details about their relationship being very close before it became estranged in their world's civil war, then perhaps Morgana would fear killing Kayle.

I kinda doubt that vel'koz is afraid of being dissected,I mean judging from his lines,he doesn't even comprehend why his victim express terror when he attacks them. I think the worst thing for him would be to get into a state where he can't learn anything anymore,like he gets trapped inside a box with nothing inside,or looses all his senses and ability to analyze stuff with his void beams.

Maple Crusader1 votes

Unable to analyze or die, although he wishes for it. Eventually, Vel'Koz stopped thinking.
