If they're from Ionia
birthplace origins/current residence etc. they got some problems/hated on/controversial etc.
commence listing...
and previously 
and riot hates 
(holy shit, i was surprised jax is affiliated with Ionia too)
like wtf, every champion who has a club of haters is from Ionia ;l
TehNACHO18 votesIn actuality, Riven is Noxian.
But yeah, fun times in Ionia, it seems.
Darrosh Jewfist2 votesRiven was part of the Noxian invasion of Ionia and she deserted the army during the invasion... so I guess she's kind of Ionian?
Leti the Yeti1 votesEh, I thought Riven must be from Ionia at some point cuz of her wind blade-eque technique... that apparently was so similar to yasuo
kitcat3001 votesLong story short, she was part of the Noxus invasion of Ionia, but went into self exile because she couldn't be part of a nation that used chemical weapons on her own battalion.
LankPants7 votesI don't run in to too many people who hate Ahri, Varus or Sona, all of whom were born in Ionia.
Earthlord Jazz13 votesI don't run in to too many people who hate Ahri, Varus or Sona, all of whom were born in Ionia.
Riot hates Sona
The Whamboozler1 votesSona lives in and was mostly raised in Demacia, if I recall correctly.
Centuros1 votesBut she was found as a baby in Ionia and lived in an orphanage there until the Buvelle family adopted her.
DrCyanide3 votesBorn mute and plays songs that REALLY HURT! She's also selectively telepathic ("Only you can hear me Summoner"). That girl's messed up in her own ways.
Centuros4 votesThe telepathy thing is because Summoners form a mental link with the champion they are summoning, which is why they speak all the time and only you hear the VO.
Leti the Yeti1 votesooh, almost forgot bout sona.... only included ionians players hated lol
Trylobyte5 votesYou'll be fine if you remember the natural counters to Ionians: 
Leti the Yeti2 votesNoxians countering Ionians? ~ 3~ idk... these asian champs are too OP for this shit
GreenLore3 votesWell its not exclusive to Ionia.
Leti the Yeti1 votesyeah but a good chunk of them are from ionia probably only fizz and katarina are exceptions
LordHippoman1 votesyeah but a good chunk of them are from ionia probably only fizz and katarina are exceptions
Although that's more a long running joke than anything else at this point. Also release Xin, but that was ages ago now. S1 opening? Shit, time flies.
junglerboy162 votesThat's interesting, but it leaves out Fizz and Teemo, and saying "anyone who has anything to do with Ionia" is a really broad scope. Ionia is a messed up place, because until the retcon comes out, half of the island got destroyed and totally annihilated by the Noxian invasion. Having half your island taken over and losing half your population with it has got to put a damper on life for most Ionians.
Leti the Yeti1 votesand so many Ionians decided to make life hell for everyone else in the fields of justice?
SecretAgentHulk1 votesWhat are these "fields of justice" you speak of? :P
Leti the Yeti1 votessummoner's rift twisted tree lines howling wutever
that stuff I guess most notably in summoners rift i guess
SecretAgentHulk1 votesSorry, I was being snarky. What I was getting at is that with the lore retcon (a consequence of which is the Noxian invasion succeeding, until we're told otherwise), the fields of justice aren't in-canon any more. They are essentially Smash Bros maps, not real places.
exiledFromBadmen1 votesIonia is full of cancerous champions. That's it.
SecretAgentHulk4 votesIonia is a place that values tradition and precision. Noxus seems more like a place that just likes getting things done, while Demacia values honor. It seems natural that Ionia would be the best home for assassins and duelists like Irelia.
Akeito1 votes
this.
Every Ionian but Karma get insane mobility and "outplay" potential. People get mad when they get killed and doesn't want to accept the fact that their opponent migt be better than they are, nor they are "honorable opponent". I myself always give out that honor for anyone who was against me top or mid that won the lane without jungler help.
Seriously though, every Noxian is also a powerful pick against Ionian.
Darius will wreck any top laner that is an all in melee and let him reach in range
Vladimir will destroy any sustain tank that have no all in capability such as Malphite
Leblanc is Leblanc, nothing much to say here
Swain is great in extended fight
Draven is Draaaaaaaaaven
The Whamboozler1 votesIonia's schtick seems to be overloaded kits with high mobility and complicated mechanics. Even the older ones do more than their non-ionian counterparts be default. Ex. Akali throws her Q then dives in for instant burst. If you live she can gap close to you two more times and her smokebomb gives her defenses and a few ways to creatively juke... compare to Talon who can gapclose to you ONCE, needs to pop a spell or two after doing it to burst you (since his E does no damage) and needs to pop his ult to get out afterwards. Nevermind that he's mana restricted and she's not, or that his ult telegraphs the way he fled.
Ionia tends towards champs that are manaless, mobile, and bursty. Is anyone shocked that they're regularly considered OP? They're the nation of #LCSBIGPLAYS.
Centuros1 votesOf course, then you have poor Varus...
Terra Booma1 votesIsn't Kennen related to Ionia?
Was he OP at some point? 0_0

SecretAgentHulk1 votesAnd Shen, those two are the kings of cancer champs, amirite?
Poldy Scarecrow1 votesYou forgot 
. He's from Ionia and everyone hates him lol.
Hoping the next event is based in Ionia.
Darrosh Jewfist2 votesWukong is from the Plague Jungles actually. He was trained by Master Yi in Ionia though.
cool1651 votes

Leti the Yeti3 votesDo we really hate her like we hate everyone else tho? ;l
Gunpoint1 votesThe asian players dominate LoL and so do the asian champions.
The Fire on Fire1 votesI never actually read much of the lores before, so... Yea, I'll read them sometime.
