Champion Personality.

I just want to know what your favorite champ is and why. I just smoked myself stupid and played a custom game with Jhin. I honestly love his personality and think that whoever developed that champ deserve a lot of credit. I mean if you really look at the game and the way its played that champ is on a completely different map all together. His style really shows how far league has come with how much one character interacts with the game.

As he progresses through the game his playstyle adjusts accordingly. Starting out low levels just gradually picking small fights maybe a kill or two along the way. Meanwhile he has been setting the stage the whole time. As you progress through next few "scenes" we see him building the rest of the act with ineractions with the rest of the summoners "crew". Kills everywhere it's like the old 80s action flicks I mean body count through the roof. Then when the stage is set and everyone is in there places. The final act, pow one by one his enemies lay dead as their human summoner counterpart watch helplessly. Defeat shows on your computer screen. Meanwhile Jhin laughs maniacally knowing he will find away to get off this cursed game and into the "real world" to take his vengeance out on his creators, then the rest of the world will be his stage.

Yeah that was some good stuff.

What the fuck is this post. I love it.

To answer the question, Elise. It feels really good to play a shapeshifting immortal sacrificing thousands of brainwashed puppet-cultists to an eldritch abomination for eternal life. Her lore is pulled straight out of Lovecraftian fiction. I love the vampire tropes she plays around with, and the fact that she's just sexy and evil; no sad backstory, no "but (s)he's a psycho/sociopath, (s)he can't empathize with other human beings!" excuse, just a classy lady who wants to live forever, and is prepared to kill anything to sustain herself. She's pleasantly selfish and completely inhuman; there's this theme of abandoning and transcending humanity with her that's very appealing for a villain.

Gameplay-wise, she's a really enjoyable mage/assassin combination. She doesn't do overwhelming damage (unless you go full AP ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)), but enemies can definitely feel it when you catch them in a combo. Pulling off 6-7 abilities in some 2-4 seconds feels satisfying. My personal favorite situation with her is waiting patiently in a bush for unsuspecting prey to walk near, only to get webbed up and murdered by a giant spider. I know for a fact I did this to some arachnophobic players. "Yeah that was some good stuff."

Braum i dont know where to start...hes such a sweat heart i cant help myself.I love his personality how he will rush into danger without ever thinking of himself.How he was willing to punch his way under a mountain to save a troll child shows he doesn't care who it is hes saving.Not to mention i love manly muscle men so that might be another part that draws me to him.Some times i wish he was real so i could date him :/ also he reminds me of a buff Santa Claus [sg-jinx]
As for gameplay riot did a great job i love jumping onto team mates ready with my shield to block that Syndra ult that will certainly kill them or stop a giant nami ult from harming my team.When i play with a braum i truly feel protected.His Ult reflects the lengths he will go to save people willing to shatter the very land to CC the enemy and keep his team safe. also his teaser was when i first fell for him [sg-jinx] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dvYxkyQFZU

In her lore, she's described as becoming more powerful as more believe and hope in her, which can be reflected in her gameplay. Starting off early, she's little more than a gust of wind, unassuming, nobody knowing what that gust will bring. As the game continues, and her followers(the team) learn to trust in her and believe in her(following up on my engages) and knowing she'll always watch over them(shielding and healing). Towards the end, she becomes a tempest, a forced to be reckoned with, a deity in her own right, blowing enemies away with little effort and making sure all who place their hope in her will never die without her trying to save them.

Personality wise, I like that she embodies this sense of wisdom, but expresses it through a mischevious façade, and is, at her core, completely altruistic.

I love his confidence. He is a super arrogant and condescending character, but with the way it's presented in terms of his lore and his quotes it's not an assholish personality. He's almost a thanos-ish character, where he is certain that he needs to prepare the world for what's to come, but he has to go through drastic measure to do so.

It's gotta be Aurelion for me. He's not my favourite champion but damn he's got some interesting lore and backstory. A universally aged dragon with the power to create new worlds and crush others as he pleases, only to be bribed and chained by Targon for his strength to be used against others. He wants to crush Targon so badly, but that comes at the cost of destroying the rest of Runeterra as well, something which he doesn't want to risk. His voicelines offer so much insight to how he really sees everyone, and whilst some lines do have some disgustingly dark and brutal backbone to them, Sol can joke about things too.

The thing I love most about him is that, if I could imagine myself being within the same vicinity as him, he could either choose to murder you or joke with you. You just don't know what's going to happen until it happens.

Space dragon. Love him.

Zoe, She is the embodiment of everything I play this game for. Fun.

Her story on the website makes me laugh every time I hear it because it is so Zoe. Whenever I play her I feel like I'm pranking the enemy with my 200iq nukes that they accidentally walked right into. She is so fun and when I saw her and played her I instantly knew she was my main

I to love how Jhin is portrayed. Seeing how you described Jhin, i wont echo. I'll talk about fiora. In lore, she's a noblewoman who wont take sh*t from anyone. I feel like her in game kinda portrays her duels she have in lore. If you're a passive Fiora player, it goes as: you're enemy mocks and harasses you, not knowing what you have in store for them in a proper duel. When the time of challenge final comes(level6) You two have a duel of honor to see who wins.

If you outsmart(and maneuver) them during the duel, you that you win this duel. If you don't win(or manage to hit all their weak points) you lose and you're honor means nothing in the end. Much like the guy Fiora dueled in her lore. It's my own little mini game wither her really. After Jhin, she's my second main.

There isn't one yet where i think about their personality that i absolutely adore and love it, however if i'd had to pick one it would be Aatrox.

His voicelines give a really good, ruthless world ender vibe, and whenever he talks or screams, i can feel his deep hate for existence, and how he just wants everything to come to an end.

Eh xerath i guess ..although m favorite champ changes every once in a while..for me xerath represents the human that broke the chains of fate , and transcended. He was a mere slave in an empire where slaves had accepted their fate as inferior beings...despite the odds he not only change that but he also strived to become an entity above all others .and he succeded! ( well there was a cost of course but this is another story :P)..

Also as a side note : summoners no longer exist..they are not canon anymore ..the events that happen during the game are not canon as well and are NOT accurate representations of a champs power , speed , size , e.t.c !

The same goes for every old cinematic..canon cinematics are the ones that do not take place on summoners rift or crystal scar!

Hmm...

While my favorite champion right now is Bard, personality-wise I'm probably going to have to say Rakan. He's dashing and dancing all over the place, infuriating the enemy, but he does more than that as well. He can come to the rescue of a teammate with a well-timed heal, knockup, or charm, but he needs his teammates just as much as they need him. Which I think is really fitting, given that his main story arc is about his romance with Xayah, and it would make logical sense why he's so dependent on his teammates.

Also, his lines are sporadic, random, and all over the place. Just like me when I'm playing him.

Camille and Aatrox. Aatrox's edgyness resembles mine, and his savage and dark humor reminds me of my humor, shows no empathy to mankind, neither do I. Also, tze way he walks when out of animation, he walks, exactly, like, me. Coincidence? I think not! [sg-miss-fortune] For Camille her adaptations to fights reminds me of when I or any other person adapts to their surroundings, but is also a moral remind to me that you should never change for the one's pleasure, like how Camille changed by fetting augmented with hextech technology to protect her brother and her clan, tze same brother who decieved her at the time she was augmented. Also, her personality resembles mine as well, the fact she can give you a cold shoulder or just dump you down to low grounds of stupidy shows how easily she can beat you with words, not just by kicking the crap out of you, or slicing your head the way you'd headshot someone with a knife in a shooterngame. Also, her theme, log in theme music, I cried my tears for everyone, but holy molly her theme makes me burdt into tears like a girl every single time. [sg-soraka]

Yasuo

I'm often silent, but arrogant and that I usually love doing things my way, even if it means getting some crap for it. My attitude is like the wind in that it's sometimes a breeze and sometimes it's a hurricane, but always under control and often handled pretty well. Most people usually dislike me for my attitude and my lone wolf personality, but that's just how I work: alone and always with the task-at-hand.

I most often mean well with my actions, but the message behind them is usually misunderstood, which is what happened in Yasuo's lore.

######I sometimes also give cancer to other people because I'm Yasuo.

I have always wanted to make a thread discussing all champions in League and how each champion's kit and playstyle describe the character of that champion, and this thread makes me want to create that even more. It will be a lot of work though xD.

Anyway, my favorite champion at the moment is Lulu . I have seen people complaining that her kit is 'overloaded', and that is exactly why I like her. I can e -> aa -> q the enemy for a very painful trade, I can e to minion and q for a long range poke, I can shield to reduce the damage of enemy's trade, I can polymorph enemy when trading, etc. all of which annoys the hell out of the enemy, which is a perfect way to play Lulu. Essentially, I play her to have fun and annoy the enemy xD. But man her model is really outdated that it looks really weird (Pix looks fine tho), I wish they could give her a model update (or even a gameplay update, as long as her personality isn't changed).

I like champions who are more light and playful, so some other champions that I also like playing (though not as much as Lulu) are reworked Nunu (I can spend all day rolling snowballs and I don't even jungle xD), Teemo (again, annoys enemy even when winning or losing lane), Rakan (I used to main him back in Vietnam but now I play Lulu much more). Some other champ that I kinda like but I can't play well are Zoe (her playstyle doesn't quite fit me, but I like her character and especially her model animation), Braum (I can never trade when I play him and almost always lose lane, but I really like his character), Ivern (never played jungle and never played him, but he looks fun), Bard (I think I never wins playing as Bard, but trolling with him is always fun).
