Pretty sure that if it were easy or clear cut, it wouldn't be a major story element.

Depends on how you look at it. On the one hand, Demacia has an army that has always been greater in numbers than that of Noxus due to conscripting. On the other hand, Noxus's warriors are substantially more skilled and arguably worth more than a single Demacian soldier.

Then we look at the magic side of things; Demacia actually has a fair amount of light based magic going around, while Noxus has been way more averse to bringing their magic out to the battlefield. That doesn't mean they don't have it, but again this is potentially a quantity vs quality measure here.

Then there's other variables like Demacian horses vs Noxian war hounds, the kind of support they have for their armies in terms of medics and supplies, and super-powers such as the half dragon Shyvana and the undead monstrosity Sion. This isn't even talking about army strategies and soldier mentality. i'd personally give it to Noxus due to the quality of their soldiers and the fact that I recon Sion would win in a fight vs Shyvana, but eh, what do I know?

Magic would actually be fairly even. Demacia has a college for it which means at least a fair amount of spell casters, but not many as good as lux, while Noxus has anyone who is strong in magic be a mage and rising up. Swain himself seems to be a mage or at least uses demon raven powers.

Sion already broke the neck of one Demacian King. Imagine now that he's Frakension

If the war could've been decided, don't you think it would've already been over?

Noxus. In the words of the One True King: Cleaner ways don't win wars.

It would be a battle of attrition. Demacia is strong and unquestionably loyal to one another in a way that wold make North Korea cream their collective pants. They are militaristic and believe they stand for all that is good in the world, and will die to protect that view.

Noxus, on the other hand, simply thinks they are the strongest, as their society supports personal strength over strength of the collective. They are willing to play dirty and they don't go down easy.

Overall they are of similar strength, but each focus on different areas. Personally I think Demacia is better at straight up ground warfare where as Noxus is best with surprise attacks and subterfuge. Demacia, again in my opinion, would be stronger if they manage to avoid these tactics, and would force Noxus into a no-win scenario. It would end with mutually assured destruction.

Demacia, mainly because that city-state is allied with Ionia, Freljord (Ashe side), Bandle City and Piltover.

Noxus only has Zaun as ally... i mean, even Gangplank is enemy of Swain

I doubt that the freljord would be willing to side with demacia. Ashe has her hands full with Sejuani,supporting demacia would only lead to sejuani using that opening to her advantage.

And I dunno if Demacias relation with bandle is that great. Sure they are no enemies,but are the yordles really going to participate in a war that doesn't concern them?

Ionia has been stated to be neutral. So, I don't think they'd ally with Demacia.

The thing is this is the BIG lore question, which may never be answered. Noxus and Demacia are ancient rivals, and are always fighting back and forth, winning some and losing some on both sides. I think the fact that they seem so evenly matched is what keeps their eternal struggle so interesting, because both are constantly looking for an advantage over the other in the struggle. However... I had to vote Noxus, even though Demacia is my faction of choice between the two. The reason I voted Noxus is because I'm pretty sold on the LoL conspiracy theory that JarvanIV, Prince of Demacia, is actually dead (or at least secretly being held captive by Noxus), and that the Jarvan we know is actually Leblanc posing as him (being a master of trickery and disguise). If this is true then whenever her heinous plot (whatever it is) comes to fruition, Demacia will likely be royally screwed (pun completely intended).

Neither, two equally opposing forces...they have been battling for their ideologies for as long as Aatrox is known for. Sure one gets the upper hand on the other for a century or two but in the end one cant exist without the other.

You guys made a big impact on my discussion but yet here I am still not knowing, maybe one day some one in riot will make the dissensionitem 3151 .

Riot will NEVER support or say anything about x champion being better than y champion. Thats why these fights like Noxus vs. Demacia, Ionia vs. Bilgewater, etc. are never established.

XShattered FateX1 votes

Let's be honest. Whoever mains a champ who is Demacian will choose Demacia, as will someone who mains a champ from Noxus say that Noxus will win.

If Riot straight up said "Oh hey guys, so the war happens, and Noxus wins." you can guarantee that there would be a lot of people who would be upset. Anyone who plays Jarvan IV, Shyvana, Fiora, Garen, Lux, Quinn, etc. have basically just been told that their main is no good against any Noxian champ.

And therefore the question will never be answered. Ah well.
