The answer is always Karthus.

But other than that

A. Wukong, he can't resist a good fight. B. Garen with Jarvan, Cass with Kat, Gragas with Jax, Draven with Draven, Mordekaiser with Karthus C. First kill: Evelynn C2: First death: Nunu/Willump. When it boils down to it, Nunu is just a kid riding a yeti. For Evelynn, thats candy from a baby. D: Aatrox. He wouldn't be interested until the battle really got heated. E: Karthus. Because..yeah. F: Taric. "Guys, gems are.." You have been slain G: Gnar "Aw, he's so cute, lets just leav-HOLYHELLSWHATSHAPPENINGHERIPPEDOFFMYARMMYAARRMMMMM." H: No idea I: Karthus, Xerath J: Tie. A lich vs magic personified, they're not going anywhere.

Damnit, I always get that mixed up.

A. Jinx She don't mess around. B. Most factions, I assume, but for the sake of our gimmick, I have an unusual hypothesis; Braum with Sejuani Olaf when they are not directly fighting, because Braum cannot stand to let a fellow Freljordian die, even if they are trying to kill him. C. First Blood: Khazix First Death: MissFortune . Ms. Fortune has a pair of blunderbusses and fights in high heels, it would be a miracle she lasted more than a few minutes. D. Bard Just roam and Magical Journey away. E. Chogath His consumption gets out of hand, forcing others to briefly unite and take him down. F. Bard Surprise. G. Lulu Queen B!†©h of the Fairies is gonna light you up with pixie dust. H. Soraka outlasts Warwick . I. Veigar and Lulu J. Veigar and Lulu ; because these precious monsters deserve a happy ending.

I was going to say the same... i mean, sure that the Shadow Islanders and the Renekton/Xerath aliance are strong... but... they dont actually trust each other. Renekton would go to fight against Nasus Nasus, leaving Xerath Xerath alone against Azir Azir, Sivir and maybe the rest of the champions that live at shurima (Rammus and Ammumu for example).

All the demacians would defend Jarvan, except for Lucian who would fight alone against the Shadow Isles (and he would die, maybe killing Thresh and Yorick, and even Eve) and Vayne would fight against Vlad (noxian) because reasons. The Noxians would fight against Demacia.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hecarim and Mordekaiser start fighting each other, Kalista would fight against Hecarim as well. So, Karthus would be alone... Against who? maybe Soraka.

Ionians would have problems with Syndra and Zed, but all the Ionians would win after all, since they are more.

Piltover would help the Demacians and Zaunites would help the Noxians.

Aatrox would fight against Tryndamere, Trynda, with help of Ashe and the Avarosans may win against Aatrox, but then the Winter Claw would strike and defeat them.

Lissandra defeats Brand, and then, Trundle betrays her.

The people of Bilgewater would fight each other.

Yordles would ally each other, but Rumble would kill Heimer starting a "war" between yordles of Piltover and Bandle.

The void... yeah, everyone would ally to defeat them.

..... and then, we have the "Unanticipated ladder-climber" Veigar/Lulu.

Unlike what you said, Bard Bard would see that Veigar Veigar corrupt the cosmos, and he would try to stop the evil Yordle... but then, Veigar (and Lulu) would kill him. Veigar would absorb his soul and power, becoming stronger than Xerath. And then, with a blackhole, would be able to destroy everyone... even the "immortal" ones... except for 2 persons.

Zilean and Olaf

Eventually, Olaf would die due age (considering that Zilean can "anticipate" his death).

So... the winner? Zilean because he CANT die.

TLDR:

Renekton vs Nasus

Xerath vs Azir Shurima

RekSai vs Chogath vs Everyone

Lissandra vs Freljord/

Aatrox vs Tryndamere / Avarosans

Lucian vs Thresh and the Shadow Isles

Karthus vs Soraka

Veigar vs Bard ... Veigar wins, and kills everyone.

Except Zilean , he will always win a death battle, because no one can kill him.

A. Renekton (Hes insane, did you expect anything else? Stop licking your damn weapon.) (I find even if it weren't Nasus causing him to freak out, he or Jinx would be fully capable of starting all the fighting with one action.)

B. Any guild so: Ashe + her team would probably HG style gangbang you until the finals if you weren't too careful.

C. Amumu (Who knew tears were so ineffective?)

C2. Annie (Anyone that could easily ignite Amumu) (Fire Spreads! Yeah!)

D. Bard (I'm somewhat a pacifist.)

E. Gnar (Y-Y--You...threw my...blocks.....FUUUUUUUUU-)

F. Twitch (Eh, he even says he has trouble shooting and aiming along with the fact that lore wise hes just a rat with a crossbow.)

G. Nasus (Q FARM Q FARM Q FARM Q FARM Q FARM)

H. Teemo (Satan not dying instantly after Amu, him being invisible is the only way he could actually survive for a while in this situation.)

I. Gnar (Seems strange but if you under-estimate Gnar's capabilities, its gonna suck when you get hit by a building. Gnar's cute factor probably would give him some more times of safety against champions that could be swayed by him, you gotta vote for the underdogs right?) I'd assume everyone knowing of his special ability would either make him a target or a person you would stay away from. So, he could abuse this to keep himself safe for a good amount of time but there is a big possibility he could be easily teamed against in the early rounds due to his power.

I2. Rengar / Khazix (These IMO can be replaced with: Nasus / Teemo / JarvanIV Nas: Q FARM DEAR JESUS HES ONE SHOTTING OMFAGFASOFAO- Teemo: Just you know, being a dick and setting shrooms to get kills then disappearing as if he were never there to begin with. J4: Probably biggest target aside from those ones from Shurima but he would have a good time knowing Demacians would have trouble attacking him.)

I3. Finalists?: (I explained Gnar) Rengar/Kha are really good hunters and knowing that they possess the abilities to be amazing in the jungle and knowing eventually they would fight each other to the death would make one even stronger. Also, since its a goal to stay safe and be considerably careful in a situation like this you would want to avoid the lonely dark jungle that could easily kill you faster than you could perceive it. This gives them an advantage since they've grown quite accompanied with their surroundings lore wise.

I4. (I myself would find Rengar as the one that would make it to the end since he does possess more landscape advantages and better knowledge of the area around him and since he is a master of hunting he would easily know Kha's weaknesses from their first fight.

J. (WAHGHAHGA SUCH HARD CHOICES, HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN WRITING THIS?!) So, instead of instantly announcing my winner, i'll try to summarize what a battle between the two would be like. Rengar VS Gnar (Why!? Oh btw, I promise i'm not playing the main wins game) So, according to Rioters, Gnar VS Rengar was indeed, a tie, and both easily forgave each other and are staying in a neutral position from each other. I myself feel they would be an interesting match but there are limits: Rengar is a master hunter, hes done it for years and hes nearly died doing it and he will never stop doing it. Gnar -when in Mini form is a normal child, which, like Annie, could boost survival rates if he was opposed by a champion that had humane feelings. Although, Rengar isn't afraid to hunt and would probably keep Gnar/Kha alive because he would want to fight them on his own to prove who is the best hunter like he always wants to do. Gnar possesses the abilities of the child unless enraged, and the fact that Rengar is fully aware of this weakness after being in contact with him could result in an easy victory. So....here it is: The Winner (IMO) would be: Rengar

J1. Why? Easy, Rengar (again) is a master hunter who studies his prey, if he notices one prey gives him a hard time, he will do his best to assert himself as the best hunter. Although, Mega Gnar could have an advantage in power, Rengar has already easily drained Gnar's health if he even survived in time to activate his Mega form. Gnar just doesn't stand a chance compared to him. So...yeah....Kitty Cats practically all that. (My Though Process: Manly, heroic champs go bye-bye first since they commonly rush into battle, weak exploitable champions usually get betrayed (Amu), and smart ones that want to survive will either play their cards safely or hide until the "heroic" ones destroy each other. Think HG for how I did this)

Edit: Still think I should've swapped Gnar now that I look back at this. Who do you think I should of swapped him with? (No olaf)

Olaf is pretty much invincible to everything except for Zilean aging him. So if someone kills Zilean, Olaf has a large chance of winning.

GreenLoreApr 21, 20151 votes

poor olaf,its his destiny to die a peaceful death. Its like plot armor is his curse

The Red WardenApr 21, 20151 votes

It pretty much is plot armor. Like the Hulf he hates it, but it is still a part of him.

Except, that lorewise, no one (at least, no champion) can kill Zilean

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wL728vz0To

So, the final battle must be Olaf against Zilean, and Zilean wins.

The Red WardenApr 21, 20151 votes

Zilean however is always at risk for random chrono-displacia attacks where he loses consciousness. This would make Olaf the winner by default.

But Olaf cant kill him even if he is unconscious... and its a battle "to the Death"... so, he cant win.

The Red WardenApr 21, 20151 votes

Are you trying to get into a serious arguement about a video-game character death match?

Also the 2-4 hour limit would allow Olaf to win if Zilean is "displaced" long enough.

NarasimhaApr 22, 20151 votes

Doesn't mean he can't be trapped. Being immortal doesn't do much if, say, Olaf drops a rock on him and keeps him pinned down.

Then Zilean can blew up the rock with a Time Bomb... and my point still... its a Death Battle... you cant win if you don't kill you opponent.

NarasimhaApr 22, 20151 votes

I think he has to use his arms to throw a Time Bomb..

Also, I'd imagine there would have to be some other condition present, simply BECAUSE of the fact that we have immortals. Otherwise, like I said, Karthus would reign unchallenged. What are you going to do, kill him again?

Yes, Karthus CAN be killed. Lucian has said that the undeads can be killed and in the old lore he was killed by Malzahar and Kassadin, he cant resurrect by himself. Also it was mentioned in the Bard QaA that the spirits can be destroyed. The only champion that is truly "unkilleable" and "immortal" its Zilean...

I know that it sounds like "cheating"... but that is the lore of Zilean.

NarasimhaApr 22, 20151 votes

No, I checked the JoJ entry, it said he was 'dead'. I think that implies he was just in a knocked-out state. Also, I'm going to assume that not anyone can kill them, otherwise...well, they'd be redead already. It probably requires a special spell or piece of equipment, like Lucian's guns.

And don't get wrong, I get that Zilean is immortal in all its glory. But its also a pretty common theme that immortal =/= invincible.

GreenLoreApr 21, 20151 votes

I think Renekton or Aatrox would be the first to start a fight.

I mean there are other agressive champions,but I guess that even those would be smart enough to hestitate for a moment with such a large amount of enemies around them(yes even Rek'sai and possibly jinx).

however aatrox is known for basically inspiring blood lust in others while he throws himself into battle,while renekton is just plain insane at this point and would most likely not care for anything than slaughtering others.

Lore-based powers hein?

Bard [Translated from Didgeridoo] Yeah, you really got me good here. I'm completely stuck - snaps his fingers and opens a portal to another dimension - cya nerds

TwistedFate Mr. Fate will just ulti off the Rift's borders, then way a few minutes and ulti again all the way 'til the mountain's base

In lore Malphite is so big 5 dudes could totally fight on top of him. RekSai In the same vein, Rek'Sai is the size of a house. The squishy humans would be the first to go

Xerath Xerath is magic personified. And in this new lore, he isn't even contained like before. He snaps his fingers and an explosion equivalent to a tactical nuke happens. Pretty sure he wins in the end
