Champion power tier list (lore wise)

lowrankhero·9/15/2015, 3:06:25 AM·4 votes·4,703 views

So with the teaser for lamb and wolf and speculation as to what it is i have seen many post predicting that wolf and lamb are around bard's power level and that got me to wonder how strong is bard? so i decided to make a tier list for lore based power levels to maybe try and gauge his power level. feel free to change it however you see fit it would be cool if we could make a definitive list.

Tier 1: Gods Tier 2: Ascended Tier 3: lesser Ascended
Tier 4: higher being
Tier 5: super magical being Tier 6: inhuman Tier 7: super human Tier 8: just that good tier 9: no one loves you

feel free to change it up or tell me who you think belongs where, also mention if i missed any champions please.

Anivia why is she not in god tier? she is literally nature incarnate. MonkeyKing Should also be higher, while never mentioned in the lore he should be at least a higher being due to how likely it is that he is a fallen or sealed god. Evelynn should be in her own special tier, shes so good that she literally hides all information about herself, you have to be powerful if nobody in all of runeterra knows your origin or what you do. Fiddlesticks Literally killed the most powerful summoner in existence and the summoners only solution was to shut the door and stick a do not enter sign on it, so he is either god tier or ascended tier.

Aatrox should be lower, we know that his race can die/be killed. Probably Tier 2 or 3 Gnar should be MUCH lower. He's strong, but that's it. He doesn't have any magic powers or outstanding capabalities. Tier 6 most likely. Likewise, Xerath should be tier 1. He IS that strong. He is literally magic made manifest. You can only compare him to godlike beings. On the same vein, Nasus, Renekton, and Mordekaiser should be higher. Nasus and Renekton are equal to Azir at the least, and Mordekaiser, being the first undead, probably has a lot of power to back him up. These are easily tier 2. Ekko isn't magical, he just has technology. Not really relevant, but still. Amumu is probably tier 3 or 4, given how strong he can be when upset. He can take down a village/city when enraged, not to even mention actual combat situations. Kha and Ren are equal in strength as per canon lore, so they need to be closer tierwise. Jax is tier 3, if not tier 2. Not open for debate. Syndra is tier 3, maybe tier 2. Her power hasn't been fully measured yet, but its definetly higher than most others. Nami should be lower. She's not a combatant. Her power can support, but its nothing special by itself. Tier 8.

I think this is relatively spot on, except im questioning the tahm kench.

List sucks.

Top tier. Bard Kayle Mordekaiser Morgana Veigar (when he ain't being dumb failing his plans like a cartoon villian) (if karthus finds the scroll we believe ryze has to finish his requiem gg world of the living)

These would be the world breakers, if they really wanted to shatter the world/eradicate I am sure they could do it in a fairly reasonable amount of time and less effort than everyone else.

Dangerous tier. Ahri Anivia Azir Chogath Fiddlesticks Hecarim Irelia (bitch came back from the dead yet not as a specter like the shadow isle champions and also better nerf her) (since he will likely never get his scroll for the final song, hence why i listed him once more) Kassadin Khazix KogMaw Leblanc Lissandra Nasus Nautilus Nocturne RekSai Renekton Ryze Swain Syndra TahmKench Thresh Velkoz Vladimir Yorick * (good thing of all the shadow isle champions he seems to not be evil like the rest) Zilean * (would be world breaker cause time magic ain't a joke, but his fucked him up and left him weakened for some reason) Malzahar Malphite

All champs that would outclass pretty much most other living things aside for the most crazy monsters such as Baron in Runeterra.

Then everyone else would be listed here. Mind you this is current half ass lore status. Had we gone from old lore it would basically be Xerath in rank 1 (So help anyone if he was evil and not more of a scientist like, rip his better story). Soraka who was a Goddess among all things in the universe for a short while at rank 2 despite her power to be benevolent, and 3. Would have been Kayle/Morgana.

This list honestly seems pretty incoherent. Also, several champions are missing.

Lee Sin doesn't exist in the lore currently (since there are no such thing as Summoner's now or in the past lore wise) so probably should remove him for the time being.

Well Master yi is the master of Wukong,so shouldn't they be at least in the same tier?

also I think Xerath might be in the god tier(we can't be sure since we haven't seen much of his power),I mean Nasus&Renekton together weren't able to kill him(renekton was even sealed alongside xerath for quite a long time)

Zilean doesn't strike me as that powerful,he suffers from chronodisplesia and can manipulate time to some extent,but just using time magic doesn't mean you are extremely powerful(likewise gnar also doesn't seem that strong).

Syndra should definetly be higher on the list,I mean she lifted a whole castle out of the ground and made it her own and thats just when her powers finally awakened,she can still train to get better.

I also guess that Sion could be a tier higher,the noxian report says he almost seized a whole frotress on his own(and he still had time to do just as much damage to his own troops!),similarly braum punched through a mountain with his bare hands.

Jayce managed to invade viktors lab,beat viktors acolytes,smash viktors crystal and get away with it,so I guess he'd be at least in the same power tier,not higher than viktor(because then he would have beaten viktor),but at least in the same tier.

Put up Jinx on Tier 7. She's on the same level as Vi, if not stronger. Do you know how much equipment she carries? And she can even RUN with that. That qualifies as super-human as she has some serious strenght and stamina...

Also you could probably mesh tier 6+ 7 together, Nocturne might even be on god or ascended level.

Xerath's getting sealed case is not a responsible reason to put him in tier 2. He was new awakened, probably get stunned by his powers and didn't know how to use them. It was his weak moment. Ascended brothers used this moment perfect and prisoned him. Even with this hitches he couldn't get defeat. He is far superior than 2 combined ascendeds. And we know this ascendeds are legend, they're old and probably stronger than Azir. Or at least it should be like: Nasus > Azir > Renekton. Renekton doesn't look like he has magical power.

Xerath is definitely god tier, no doubt.

Nasus and Renekton are tier 2. Syndra is probably tier 2 and tier 3.

Aatrox is just a member of an ancient race and we know this race's members can be killed. They're just 5 survived members of this race. What does make them god tier?

I agree for Tahm Kench.

I agree for Bard.

Gnar is absolutely not tier 2.

Diana and Leona don't deserve their place neither.

Lissandra and Rek'Sai should be higher.

Kalista is 9 out of 10, confirmed by a rioter. She is avatar of vengeance, easily tier 2.

Malphite should be higher, he eats Kha'Zix for breakfast and crush him like an insect (literally).

Malzahar is probably an equal rival for Kassadin. If Kassadin is tier 3, he should be too.

Umm nasus and amumu should be higher... Otherwise i havent read much lore

lowrankhero9/15/2015, 10:10:16 PM1 votes

Defending the weirder placements in the list. Gnar he was powerful enough to drive away the watchers back in his time so he must be stronger than the crazy strong lissandra who draws her power from the watchers. Malzahar being lower than kassadin. So i actually explained in an earlier post but in short is fighting off the whole void invasion plus malz so he is probably stronger. Khazix being lower than the other void champions. i think kha has the potential to be as strong as cho and vel but he has yet to fully evolve which is why Rengar is at the same power tier as him even though rengar has no magical powers.

Syndra should be Tier 4 or 5 and Xerath should be in Tier 1 or even higher.
