So Let's Classify each of the Magical Creatures in the game

Thought of doing this after reading the Tahm Kench Q&A. What I want to do is just categorize each of the magical creatures in the game and see where their "power levels" or whatever stands in relation to each other through looking at lore and stuff like that. Not sure how its gonna end up or even how exactly I'm gonna organize this but as a community I'm sure we can get some cool stuff going plus I got nothing else to do today. Champs are in no particular order as of the time of writing this.

The ability to use magic and its implication for "power levels" or whatever we wanna call it will be up for discussion. E.g. is Sejuani more magical/stronger than Jax? Exclusively "magey" characters will be in italics.

Lets get the human(oids) out of the way. Lemme know if I miss any other normal human things. Make sure you read ahead before bringing up champs like Lissandra and Eve.

Ok guys this is where I need your help if you're still reading. I'm sure you've noticed that several champs are unlisted. That's because I feel they are the ones that are truly "magical" in existence. Not just something like Lissandra and Vel'Koz, but things like Thresh and Aatrox. Just because they don't use magic doesn't mean they aren't magical. For this part I want to see how we would classify the rest of the champs and discuss just how "powerful" they are in context of each other. The ones up above are not to be tiered except for stuff like maybe LeBlanc (and that's what I wanna hear discussion about). I was thinking of categorizing them in tiers (RIP Elementz) with numbers or something according to qualities like their influence over the world. Also want to discuss what they are by classifying them with stuff like DnD terms or whatever and see how much "power" they have, like is an otherworldy golem like Malphite weaker than magical constructs like Galio or Orianna? I'll start on this with a couple of examples. Again, let me know if numbered tiers should be the way to go and if you feel that any champs I listed above deserve to be down here.

GAMEPLAY IS NOT AS IMPORTANT HERE. CASSIOPEIA CAN BULLY ANIVIA IN-GAME BUT ANIVIA IS TECHNICALLY IMMORTAL AND PERSONIFIES AN ENTIRE REGION ACCORDING TO LORE

Inherently Magical Creatures Zyra Ahri Shyvana Skarner Rammus

Constructs/Golems Maokai Orianna Malphite

Cursed Humanoids Elise Amumu Cassiopeia Nautilus Soraka Warwick Brand (fire spirit inhabiting body of human) Shadow Isles Champs(?)

Empowered Beings Xerath Azir Nasus Renekton

Immortals Anivia Lissandra Kayle Morgana Aatrox Shadow Isles Champs Constructs/Golems

Voidborne Cho'Gath Vel'koz Kha'Zix Kog'Maw Rek'Sai

Spirits of Evil or something Tahm Kench Fiddlesticks Thresh Kalista Shaco Nocturne

Tier x, y, z, 1, 2, 3...etc. Tier 0 refers to creatures born through magical means (this includes science) but still human in capabilities Tier 0 Orianna Wukong Zac Twitch Blitzcrank Sion (?) Urgot

**Tier A ** Animalistic Nuisances Zyra Rek'Sai Rammus Malphite Shyvana Warwick Kog'Maw Skarner Yorick

Tier B Karthus Brand (human bound) Cassiopeia Elise Ahri Maoka Kha'zix Soraka (After fall from grace) Evelynn

Tier C Hecarim Nautilus Lissandra Shaco

Tier D Dangerous On the loose Mordekaiser Vel'Koz Cho'Gath Fiddlesticks

Tier E Presences Tahm Kench Kalista Thresh Nocturne

Tier F Godlike Azir Anivia Xerath Nasus Renekton Aatrox

Tier G World Ending Brand (Unbound) Amumu

Tier Ω Bard (Godlike spirit being, flies through the cosmos, travels through time according to Bard Q&A) Soraka (Before fall from grace)

Apologies if it seems too messy

Since you said "each of the Magical Creatures in the game" i will mention the ones that you missed: Monsters.

Tier -1 Normal animals and creatures without any magic Scuttlers, Wolves in general, Poros, Raptors, Valor and other animals

**Tier 0 ** Gromp, Golems (Including the Blue Sentinel and Sentrys), Cinderlings, Krugs, Voidlings (the summoned by Malza and item 3512 )

Tier ?

Pix (Faes)

Tier A Lizards (Including Grez and the old Red Buff), Wraiths (Including Wights and Ghast), Alistar (yeah, you forgot him), Red Brambleback, Willnump (Yetis), Manatees (Urf), Manbaconians, Baby Dragons.

Tier D The most of the Dragons (In "adult" age) (Ebonmaw, Drake, etc), aside from their "natural characteristics" like wings, claws and fangs... they are able to use elemental magic, firebreaths and some of them even can shapeshift (See the father of Shyvana). Unlike what people thinks, they are sentient and hate humans. "Illusion Baron Nashor" (old SR)

**Tier F ** Vilemaw (Literally a "godlike" undead spider), Baron Nashor


And personally, i would put RekSai in the tier D... Even if the other XerSai fall in the caregory of "Voidlings"

Ignoring all baseline humans/yordles/voidborn/creatures;

##Top tier (omnipotent and omniscient): Bard, Soraka before her fall, possibly Tahm Kench.

##2nd Tier (immortal and crazy powerful; personifications): Anivia, Nocturne, Kalista, Aatrox, Tahm Kench, possibly Shaco and Fiddlesticks.

##3rd Tier (Blessed/chosen/cursed/assumed immortal/exceedingly powerful): Lissandra, Karthus, Elise, Thresh, Hecarim, Mordekaiser, Azir, Nasus, Renekton, Xerath, Amumu, possibly Zilean and Yorick

##4th Tier (created and/or nebulous power): Possibly Brand, Malphite, Maokai, Skarner, Ahri, Zyra, Zilean, Nautilus and Varus

##5th Tier (Minor Avatars with varying power levels) Leona, Diana, Soraka, possibly Kayle, Morgana and Cassiopeia

Whats for tier C ?

JCPANDIT7/3/2015, 8:25:47 AM1 votes

I was under the impression that beings such as Thresh and Kalista were classified as spectres/undead.

Baron of Bread7/3/2015, 8:59:48 AM1 votes

Braum (The shield is more magical than he is)

I wish to debate this one, considering how old the stories of Braum are. There is some weight behind the argument for him being Iceborn.

Guys if you think Shaco is more powerful than Xerath, something is extremely wrong.

I'm assuming you're not finished since there's only one tier on your tier list

GreenLore7/3/2015, 11:37:28 AM1 votes

I dunno why Thresh would be a spirit of evil. Thresh is merely a resident of the shadow isles,just like everyone else from there.

Gragas is from the Frejlord.
