A while ago I read this post on the boards that talked about lore that sounded BS, but was legit. It was fun to read the post and everyone's comments, so I wanted to say some off the top of my head and see if there was more absurd lore facts. If I miss any, please feel free to tell me!

(Note: Some of these will be from the previous post, and while I can't find it, just know some of these I did not know until someone else pointed it out)

  1. Trundle is actually one of the weaker trolls. He became chief troll through cunning and trickery (and also managed to manipulate lissandra)

  2. Olaf's main motivation for gruesome battle is the fact that a seer once said he would die a peaceful death at an old age, and as a viking, he took offence to that.

  3. Ashe was once blond, and wielded an axe.

  4. Skarner's people got organ harvested by Camille's family.

  5. Kog maw has no malicious intent: nor does he every throw up in the lore. He just eats.

  6. Kled thinks Lux is "dope".

  7. Illaoi likes mangoes, and as a result, was a love interest for Gangplank.

  8. Aatrox wants to die. He can't.

  9. Pyke doesn't know how he came back to life. He doesn't question it.

  10. Riven didn't mean to kill yasuo's master: she begged Yasuo's master to break her blade, and the master complied. The released wind magic from the broken blade ended up killing him by accident. Yikes.

  11. Evelynn is a virgin.

12. Orianna was once a girl, but died practicing turret diving. (outdated)

  1. Ekko's parents are still alive, and are factory workers. He lives in a home with them.

  2. Braum couldn't break open a door, so he punched through a mountain.

  3. Volibear supposedly created the first river in his fight with ornn. It is implied Volibear either pissed himself or cried.

  4. Ornn likes cherries.

  5. Kled likes tacos (and while it isn't technically cannon, someone once pointed out that Morde can't eat tacos. F.)

  6. It took all of runeterra's nations to take down Morde. Morde was just a normal dude.

  7. Varus is 2/3 gay.

  8. Lee sin is blind because he burned his eyes out... by sitting in a fire for days.

  9. Gragus's main motivation in life is looking for the perfect drink. He is fond of true ice in his alcohol.

  10. Sylas killed his master, an old farmer, and a child by accident.

  11. Sivir is Azir's great great great..... great great great grand daughter.

  12. Yasuo's hair is only in a ponytail because taliyah gave him some cloth.

  13. Heimerdinger's turrets were actually meant to be toys for kids.

  14. Caitlyn isn't 18. She's younger. (incorrect)

  15. Xin zhao was once a fisher. He became a fighter against his will, and was undefeated.

  16. Rengar was the first league champion to discover gnar.

  17. Quinn has a brother named caleb.

30.~~ Tf got his powers from a voluntary lab experiment.~~ (outdated)

  1. Maokai didn't want to be alive. He became alive and now he's pissed. (outdated)

  2. Ivern was once a dick. Then he cut a tree. Now he isn't a dick.

  3. Garen's in denial about lux's magic.

  4. Lux is a swordswoman in demacia.

  5. Akali gets her tattoos from a bird.

  6. Mundo's favorite snack is toenails.

  7. Galio doesn't get how sex works.

  8. Jax only fights with a lamppost because he would 100% win with any other weapon. He wants to give his enemies a chance.

  9. Ezreal once gave his client laxatives.

  10. Sion's jaw thingy is actually the crown of jarven the third. first.

  11. Ryze once strangled his friend.

Thats the most of what I could think of off the top of my head. If some are incorrect, I apologize. Let me know if theres more stuff I missed!

Not to be a lore snob, but a lot of these are just basic lore facts and become present to anybody who takes even 5 minutes to read champion's bios.

I bring this up at every opportunity, but that's not going to stop me now:

According to the current (possibly outdated) iteration of his lore, Sion took a knife to the skull and not only is it still in there, it made him smarter. Hemomancy is a hell of a drug.

Orianna was once a girl, but died practicing turret diving.

This is no longer canon. Orianna didn't die, she replaced her body with Hextech over time, because her body stopped working after being poisoned in Zaun. She helped the people down there during a great tragedy (explosion).


Caitlyn isn't 18. She's younger.

This, according to current canon lore, is also impossible to be true. Her bio states that she got her Hextech rifle as a gift from her parents for her 21th birthday, therefore she has to be at least 21.

Lee sin is blind because he burned his eyes out... by sitting in a fire for days.

Not canon anymore. When his lore got updated, it was because of the dragon spirit he invoked during the Noxian invasion.

A tempest of flames engulfed him, searing his skin and burning the sight from his eyes. Imbued with wild power, he crippled the invaders with a flurry of breakneck punches and rapid kicks, the untamable spirit flaring brighter and hotter with each blow.

The monks were victorious, but Lee Sin’s desperate actions left the monastery in ruins, and his vision would never return.

It is implied that Jhin may have, at some point, carved the faces off of his victims and worn them as masks.

He also...

  • Only kills in fours.
  • May have murdered entire families.
  • Has blue eyes.

Ivern was once a dick. Then he cut a tree. Now he isn't a dick. Ivern once had a dick. Then he cut down a tree. Now he doesn't have a dick.

Aatrox wants to die. He can't.

I mean this is a pretty big part of his lore, he knows this and it's why his current goal is to end the world as a last resort in hopes that maybe he'll finally be destroyed along with it.

  1. Aatrox wants to die. He can't.

Pfft, whatever. Walk into the Void, see how long he lasts as the Void energy consumes him. He's a mass murderer who's free, crying about his sentence and not being given a death sentence.

  1. Garen's in denial about lux's magic.

By the hints in stories, I think it's more likely that he knows but chooses not to acknowledge it.

Jax is using a lamp that he got from when before ichatia fell,that's why he's using it
