It depends on the relative power of magic to guns. Something we really can't say. Now, Caitlyn's rifle has 3 magnification sights which only makes sense to have if she can use it. So we're looking at a weapon that has the accuracy and range needed that such sights would actually be useful. So we're looking at a minimum of WWI - WWII era weaponry here.

This give a range of about 500-600 meters minimum. So, is that enough to kill Ezreal before he can kill her? Presuming she's actually a good sniper and has the patience and skills to not get seen first. Same with Varus and Kog'maw really. If Caitlyn is actually good enough with that rifle and it can kill a guy in 1 shot, then she's the theoretical most dangerous adc there.

If the weird corrupting magic of Varus or Void creatures can't be shot in the head dead, then her relative power drops dramatically.

It's been awhile since I've read it, but if I remember correctly the creatures from the Shadow Isle can be fought with conventional weapons. And, well, spears range don't really compare, meaning I'd take Cait over Kalista as well.

But this is of course assuming conditions that are extremely favorable to Cait: She has the range and the perch to attack her opponent. If we're just going with putting people right next to each other and saying who's better? Cait is destroyed.

Putting people next to each other probably Urgot woudl win every time, because of how persistent to death he is

This response is actually really well said. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Okay, so even though what I'm going to say next doesn't actually contribute anything to this post, I still have to say it. Conventional weaponry does not work on creatures from the Shadow Isles. That being said, it's not too difficult to find unconventional weaponry that works on undead, as long as you have the coin. True ice works on undead, Demacian made weapons can be made of a thing called "sunsteel," and that works on undead. Silver works, and so on. Apparently, MF just dipped her ammo into a thing called "Myron's Dark" and that's good enough. I thing Myron's Dark is a kind of rum.

Azir if you count him Ezreal Varus KogMaw These 3 might be pretty powerful, Ezreal knows some magic stuffs, Varus' corruption is pretty scary IIRC. And Kog'Maw is a bottomless void puppy. Fear the void puppy

Kog'Maw is undoubtedly the weakest voidborn at the moment.

Most likely, since hes a puppy. The question is if a Void puppy is stronger than other marksmen... I'd say yes, he looks quite scaly, and acid > human skin :P

Do you see that helmet? Kog's Acid is digesting it o.o Now Graves could propably blast through Kog's ... skin? Exoskeleton? But Graves' Destiny should be working to do anything really :p

He is dog sized though, a blast from Graves would leave nothing.

Wait, is he dog sized? I always thought he was larger than the average human, but small by Voidborn standards

No no, he is one of the smallest champions in League of Legends. Look at the creatures in the left of splash art. A frog and 2 mouse like creatures. Then there is human helmet. He seems pretty small compare to a human.

I personally feel like he looks smaller than he is because he's bowing down... But I could be wrong. I guess it kinda comes down to who gets the first shot?

Yes, mortal champions are weak. It is only matter of who hits succesfully first.

Kalista and Kindred wouldn't die from any of them. That's why they're mighty.

There is a strange thought that some types of dealing damage are worse than others. Dead is dead. It doesn't matter if what killed you is a butter knife or a nuke. You're still dead.

On that note acid may be able to eat through metal, skin, and so on. But the only difference between that and taking a shotgun shell to the chest is that the acid will take longer to do actual damage giving the opponent time to react.

Unless we learn some very terrifying things about Kog'Maw or all void creatures I do not see him winning that fight.

He may also kill his opponent along with him, but that's really a best case scenario.

You could make an arguement about Kog'Maw having 5.0 AS, and Graves using a shotgun. If Graves were to oneshot Kog, Kog would've propably loaded Graves with enough acid to die. Atleast that's what I imagine would happen

Attack speed is a game construct we're talking lore. It does not take very long to pull a trigger. We do not know how long it takes for Kog to vomit.

I guess I assumed Kog'Maw spits things pretty damn fast because he does ingame... Goddamnit

Either Varus or Ashe

Ashe is blessed by the blood of Averosa and has the potential to have a ton of innate magical abilities. Her bow is also really powerful and capable of freezing someone with a few, if not one shot. However, if what corrupted Varus is as powerful as it is made out to be, Varus takes the cake by far since whatever was sealed away in that temple was obviously done so for a reason.

Honorable mentions to KogMaw Ezreal and Corki

I would say Corki but the bastard doesn't know how to fly out of enemy range.

Lucian's kind of a wild card in all this. Given the nature of his guns, he could probably easily destroy Varus or Kalista, who would normally be top tier lore-wise.

Heck, while they couldn't destroy them, I could see Lucian's guns even causing Kindred to temporarily withdraw.

That said, given what we've seen of his battle style in lore so far, he'd be pretty easy prey for those who are more tactically inclined, so most other ADCs would smack him around.

(Sorry Lucian, you're the Bug Type.)
