Im curious, i havent read all the lore and want to know what people think is the darkest/saddest lore for champions. From what i'v read, zac and orrianna's are pretty sad, and thresh's lore is kind of dark.

Sion's lore is very dark and somewhat sad if you'll think deeper about it.

It presents history of a man that was forcefully taken from state of death denying him the well deserved peace after his heroic deeds and stripping him from his dignity. After death he was turned into a monster steered by artificially induced lust for killing and war. The resurrection process stripped him of his personality, his memories were taken away and those that still linger in his mind are slowly slipping away from him while he desperately wants to keep them. He lost almost entirely his identity, his original self that still somewhat exists in moments of sanity is trapped inside his undead, monstrous body and magic that keeps him "alive". He is kept isolated between battles, caged. He's just a slave to those that rule Noxus. Probably the saddest part is that the state for which he was fighting his whole life did it to him after his death.

Renekton : got locked in a tomb with xerath to save his brother and went crazy and wants to kill him because xerath fucked with his head Veigar : used to be an excited yordle who wanted to see the world and joined a trading caravan, got set up by noxians and imprisoned and isolated, which drove him insane Yasuo : Got framed for killing an elder and is a wanted man, had to kill his own brother in self defense Those are some of the saddest imo

I have a soft spot for Nami's lore. They put way too much weight and faith of her people on her shoulder.

From all the hints in Warwick's and Jinx's bios (along with in game dialogue) Jinx likely has a pretty dark background; as we know she wasn't always crazy. And of course Warwick's lore is pretty dark too.

Tahm Kench's lore is pretty damn dark / disturbing.

seems similiar to thresh's, he enjoys the suffering of others.

He also eats people alive after tricking them into devilish bargains.

and thresh slowly gruesomely kills people, then traps there soul to torture them for eternity. He litterally stalked a man for years, slowly, killing all his loved ones and destroying belongings, to eventually kill him.

Kalista lore is saddest ever. Saddest+Darkest champ is Amumu

Tryndamere Imagine your whole home town being murdered in front of you while you can do nothing about it while the one who killed them disappears never to be seen or heard of again.

Urgot

A man taken from death and forcibly reanimated into some twisted Frankenstein to serve Noxus once again. And judging by his quotes, he's in a constant state of pain to the point where it's torture.

Galio as well

Galio as well

This. New Galio's lore basically means he's only animate when magic is around. When he defeats the mage, he goes back to being a fully aware statue until he encounters magic again. This can be years, decades, centuries, or more, especially since Demacia is mildly xenophobic. Poppy is the only being in Demacia that persists over the years because she's near immortal. Everyone else Galio knows dies and he can't even say goodbye. Poppy is his only friend because she is the only one who's always aware that he is alive and aware, even when he's not animate, and the humans may go their entire lives without seeing Galio alive. This is an incredibly tragic story.

Amumu obviously

Teemo : Murders people without hesitation and shuts off all emotion when doing it.

Depends on what you are looking for. Sad/dark being you feel sorry for the champion after reading it (Galio's new sorry had me feeling as though I were experiencing what it is like to be a statue) or as in creepy ass stuff (most shadow isles champions).

Riot should do more champs with a CHEERFUL story.... if you think about it, most of the characters have a dark tale behind them.
