WEAKEST Champ, lore wise

Nybx4life·3/30/2015, 6:09:08 PM·2 votes·2,990 views

Now, we all know that League of Legends got some fairly powerful champions: From devoted warriors, to godlike mages, celestial beings, and so on. We know what the god-tier looks like, so my question is... Who's the weakest champion?

I'd expect someone like Annie would be just because she's a child (physically lacking, so she's the most squishy). Yet, there's champs that are nothing more than badass with a weapon, so it's hard to say who's actually "weak"

I want your thoughts guys. Weakest champ, lore-wise?

Update: From what I've gathered from you guys, in no particular order: Nunu Corki Gangplank Rumble were picked out from the chat. In addition...

Most ADC's honestly.

Casters are casters because they have powers that go beyond the need of using weapons.

In a sense, this is why ADC's are meant to need stronger items to be carries. So I will add all the adc champs in the running for weakest champ in the lore.

I'd really want someone from Riot to input on this soon. I want their ideas for which champ is lowest tier in lore.

I think that Nunu is the weaker.

He is also a child like Annie, but, the most of his powers are connected with Willump... without the yeti, he is not that impressive. In other hand, Annie has a lot of Magical power by herself.

Gangplank He has literally no special features. He shoots people, makes people motivated, and calls in for back up. Atleast MissFortune can use Bullet Time.

Nunu , definitely. Without the yeti he doesn't really -do- anything. His passive and his snowball are all he has, and he's just a kid - Even Rumble could take him.

Comments on others: Heimerdinger - Likely not that physically strong, but he's smart and pretty mean with a wrench - He'd hit harder than you'd expect, but he's still a pushover. Rumble - He's a midget even by Yordle standards which means most humans could punt him like a furry football. He's a scrappy little bastard though and he knows how to fight dirty, which means he'd be a decent fight for other yordles. Corki - Don't let his age fool you, you actually have to be in pretty good shape to pilot a plane, especially an outdated piece of junk like Corki's gyrocopter. Could probably take most other Yordles and weaker humans (see below) in a fistfight. Poppy - She's not got much combat training, but she's a blacksmith. Do you know how strong you need to be to be a blacksmith? She wields what is essentially a short-handled sledgehammer one-handed, while also wearing platemail. Probably the toughest yordle and capable of taking down a fair number of humans. MissFortune Jinx Caitlyn - Take away their guns and they're pretty useless, honestly. Using a gun doesn't require a great deal of strength or agility, as evidenced by the fact all three of them have neither (though Jinx is fairly agile in her backstory) and rely on guns and gadgets for everything. Would lose against most human opponents and the odd yordle - Poppy, for instance, would beat the crap out of them, hammer or no hammer.

Nunu without Willump is the weakest.

Not counting him, it comes down to Poppy (Has no actual combat training that we know of) and Draven (Does have combat training, but is currently sitting on his ass throwing axes at injured men for fun).

Also Annie has been directly stated to be one of the most powerful mages in the entire universe.

By themselves: Corki, Heimerdinger and Nunu.

Graves is also pretty weak, take away the shotgun and he is just a normal guy. He was just a thug before becoming a champion.

Gangplank has had years of experience and is a legendary pirate. He also has an entire fleet he can use as a trump card.

Riven is basically a normal soldier once her sword is taken away.

Draven isn't even a soldier he just executes people who can't even fight back.

Many of the champions are defined by their weapons, so if taken away they become normal people. ( Fiora Irelia Sivir )

Poppy . She is a Yordle that relies on raw strength. Not a good combination.

Is Sona really that strong? No one has mentioned her. Soraka Fiddlesticks I don't really know how strong Fiddle is. Janna doesn't look that strong either. Teemo also doesn't seem like he has a lot of physical strength, instead relying on traps and poison.

You were talking about physical strength only right?

IcyPepper4/1/2015, 9:31:55 PM1 votes

I'd say Sona. WIthout her instrument, she's an aristocrat musician. Not the most physically fit class, she's not the most magical being independent of her instrument, and she has some sort of symbiotic relationship with the thing. Lore-wise, she's weakest alone, but she's strong with the instrument.

Now, I consider the instrument more of an entity than a weapon, otherwise I'd consider Sona more powerful by herself.

On the contrary, OP, Annie's said to be extremely powerful and will only get stronger as she matures.

To answer the question, Gangplank is the most mortal among gods, but he has great influence in his realm.

Rammus lore is pretty bad. He went from a dumb armadillo to a sentient one for no real reason. Then he just got scared and started shaking and everything else did too.
