Most powerful skins lore-wise?

DWT12345··6 votes·2,765 views

League has TONS of interesting skins and such, and i wondered what skin would be the most powerful given the information we know about it. Classic skins not allowed. I think blackfrost anivia or any of the battlecast skins seem insanely powerful.

What are you talking about...

Of course Final Boss Veigar is the most powerful of all. Powerful enough to rip and break the game entirely!

Just remember.

That's not even his final form.

Well... lets see "lore" of some skins:

Final Boss Veigar: His power is over 9000 AND that is not even his final form. He is the final boss of the game... so, i guess that he is the strongest of the game. Super Galaxy Rumble: Based on Gurren Lagann... So, he has the potential to do things like the robot of Gurren Lagann. AND he can do the impossible. (the final form of the robot of Gurren Lagann is bigger than the universe) Infernal Nasus: Stronger than Nasus, Renekton and Azir... he is a ascended demon and can dance like Snoop Dog. The Eternum: Creatures from other Dimension. Galactic Azir: Leader of an alien race with high tech. Creator Viktor and the Battlecast: Robots OP Mechas: Gigant Robots. Pulsefire Ezreal: Time Travel.

My vote is for the Final Boss, followed by Infernal Nasus... But Super Galaxy Rumble has the potential to defeat anyone.

Side Note: Demonblade Tryndamere is just a movie "lorewise".

While I do agree with you, Spirit Guard Udyr seems like It'd be really strong too. Think about it, before it, Udyr was untamed, out of control and didn't really know how to properly handle his powers. Afterwards, He became a monk, got more in touch with his animal spirits, and learned his actual abilities. I'm not saying it'd be number one, Final Boss Veigar takes that spot, but It'd definitely be about.....number 8 or 7 on my list. Definitely ahead of Pulsefire, because in all honesty, Time Travel doesn't make you stronger. Just a lot more annoying.

To be fair, there is really no gague or FB Veigar's power, beyond the little release clip where he fought off Hec, Sona, and MF. Lorewise, in the world of Runeterra, I do not believe he would be much more powerful, if at all....ETC

Even if i agree. There are a few things that i think that are wrong: Riot has never said that the Full Metal skins are part of the "Resistance", those are speculations of the fans.

And in raw power, i do believe that the Galactic skins are more powerfull than the Battlecast... just because its an army of robots vs a whole alien race with high tech (and Alien Ascension).

Well, the problem with SGU is that his Lore is related to Ao Shin, who hasn't been released yet... So, we don't know his true power.

Honestly, I doubt Ao Shin will ever even come out. Wasn't there a delay because of how much he resembled Ao Kuang from Smite? I mean, they changed him in Smite, but it still applies, doesn't it?

GreenLore3 votes

Why would there be a delay because of that? Ao kuang is based on a dragon king from mythology,just like ao shin.Its not like smite has the rights for mythology. Not to mention that smite had no problem with making Sun Wukong,Anubis and Sobek,despite wukong,Nasus and Renekton being already in LoL,so why would it matter the other way around?

It was said that Ao shin proved difficult design wise,you have to keep in mind that designs change throughout the development(I think his size was the bigger problem) and that champions can take a very long time to develop. Look at Azir,there were some leaks about Seth the sand mage http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131023040048/leagueoflegends/images/b/b9/Emptylord_Seth.jpg this leak is confirmed to be azir in his early development stages and it came out back in 2012,roughly 2 years before Azirs release

Well... lets see "lore" of some skins:

Final Boss Veigar: His power is over 9000 AND that is not even his final form. He is the final boss of the game... so, i guess that he is the strongest of the game. ect ect ect.

To be fair, there is really no gague or FB Veigar's power, beyond the little release clip where he fought off Hec, Sona, and MF. Lorewise, in the world of Runeterra, I do not believe he would be much more powerful, if at all.

SGR... His power is shown as being Rumble if he had parts to build the robot of his dreams in the fuure to fight off evil and save Rocket Girl Tristana, so unless you say that SGR is GL in its entirety, then again, maybe significantly more powerful, but not infinitely so.

Infernal Nasus is a fair contender as being more powerful than Renek, Azir AND Xerath combined, so he is a finalist.

Eternum have potential as otherworldly monsters, but probably not stronger than a demon. One rung lower than Snoop Nasus.

The Mecha skins are awesome, and shown as most likely having great power relative to the other "quantifiable" skins, as they are huge robots built by a collaboration of the greatest Yordle minds to date. Most likely they could tussle with the Eternums, even against the size discrepancy, as shown by their fluid and extensive movements in-game.

Now onto my area of expertise: the Battlecast skins.

These are among the few skins that have extensive, solid LORE behind them. TL:DR is as follows:

  1. Viktor obtains extensive data on monstrous creatures in Runeterra, and makes a company in his spare time: the Battlecast Co.
  2. Viktor uses this company as a facade to construct his death army of ultra-powerful war machines, and to perfect his own body.
  3. Viktor defeats Pantheon, Rammus, and Jayce in their own Iron-Man-esque suits, and adapts or consumes all of Runeterra.
  4. A group of freedom fighters, the Resistance, consisting of at least Caitlyn, set up shop
  5. Many years in the future, the Resistance completes work on the Pulsefire Suit, and Ezreal is chosen to go back in time to stop Viktor; mission status unknown.

Now comes our interpretation of "most powerful"- either most influence overall, most influence individually, or most raw power. I have a feeling "most overall influence" would fall solidly to Creator Viktor, as he becomes the most powerful entity in the known world in his story. However, he had his army. Most individual influence could go to him as well, but I am sure a powerful demon and two abominations from space might cause an equally large stir in their time periods. Most raw strength is the hardest to measure, as almost none of the skins have any relative "scale" to one another. For example, we can assume Viktor had to beat Heimerdinger, Rumble, and Ziggs to rule the world, so that would place him at the top there, but where next? FB Veigar is not compared to anyone, neither is Nasus or the Eternums, so we have to assume it is a 5-way tie between FB Veigar, the two Eternums, Infernal Nasus, and Creator Viktor.

question makes no sense. the skin is always apart of X champ so X champ would still be strongest. meaning xer, azir, syn, anivia, vel, nasus, renek, would still be the strongest regardless of wat skin they r in.

Well some champs are obviously stronger/weaker in some skins,than they are regularly. Just look at the BC-skins and the mechaskins,they are huge. Mecha-aatrox is as big as a building.
