Can we list the "Bad Guys" of LoL?

I'm just curious on this subject. Basically what i mean is that there are some champions that you can consider "villains" so to speak. Not in a literal term but we can say that there are champions with more negatives sides then positives. Then again it's really subjective and personal. But can we create a list of champions of these champions that kinda feel like "bad guys"?:

I'll just start with my own:

This is my list of champions that potentially fills the role of villains

Viktor Urgot Trundle Teemo TahmKench Swain RekSai Katarina Gangplank Evelynn

Aatrox Is chaotic, not evil. He's saved many people from annihilation by inspiring them in battle.

Syndra is also chaotic, but not evil. He's very similar to Diana. She chose to rebel rather than be controlled.

You are missing :

DrMundo serial killer and torturer

Evelynn cold-blooded assasssin

Gangplank sadistic pirate

TahmKench literally is a glutton for suffering

Zyra an evil plant that killed every living thing she ever came across

IMO morgana isnt evil. She just wanted her freedom to power, it does go into dark magic, but there is a difference between dark and evil.

Evil for a good reason: Varus Zed Renekton Lissandra Talon Nocturne Swain Veigar Xerath Evil for no reason/selfish reasons: Fiddlesticks Singed DrMundo Vladimir Warwick Zyra Urgot Shaco Katarina Jinx Leblanc Gangplank Chogath TahmKench Darius Thresh Evelynn Elise Evil Incarnate: Teemo

And pretty much everyone else who 'looks' evil, i believe that they are just neutral. Like Aatrox , he just fights on the losing side of some wars in order to keep the fight going, like he says, "Some fight for honor, some fight for glory. It matters only that you fight." That doesn't make him evil, he's just interested in war and bloodshed.

"Evil" is kind of a subjective term.. I mean in the eyes of some champions, they are evil, like in the others they aren't. Champions that are genuinely evil probably (in my opinion) would be: Veigar : He's insane, he went insane from being alone and now he literally wants everyone to bow before him and his power. Remember, he's one of the most powerful Black Mages in Valoran. TahmKench : Is a demon, and by nature, demons are evil. He feeds off the misery of others, so Tahm Kench is pretty self-explanatory. Shaco : Murders people just for fun. Elise : Tricks people into worshipping a spider god, which she feeds them to Vilemaw in turn for immortality. Thresh : Thresh, even in life, was not a good person. He literally tortures people to death, and when they die, takes their soul and tortures it. Completely sadistic and does it for the sheer pleasure of breaking them. Gangplank : Tyrant 'ruler' of Bilgewater before being dethroned by Miss Fortune. Kills people just for disagreeing with him/being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Xerath : Literally tricked Azir into doing an ascension ritual so he could gain the power over others, was the cause (or one of) of the fall of Shurima.

Now for Factions/Champions that can be seen as evil by others, but might not necessarily be evil.

I'm not really going to put Noxus on this list because Noxus is all about power. If you are weak, you don't deserve to live. Saying that the champions are 'evil' from here is purely the opinion of the beholder. To a lot of Noxians, Demacia is the enemy, thus 'evil' to them. Now, I'm not going to list a lot of Shadow Isles champions because in reality they all kind of follow the will of the Shadow Isles, which is to seek out and kill others to bring into their undead rankings. Kayle / Morgana : They both are fighting for their beliefs in how their society should be built upon. In Morgana's eyes, Kayle is an evil dictator that wants to rule her people with an iron fist. In Kayle's eyes, Morgana is someone who wants to disrupt order for freedom and thus sees her as evil. Morgana does use dark magic, but uses it to 'set her people free.' Singed / Warwick : Singed and Warwick are mercenaries that get hired to make chemicals for war and kill everyone. If they get paid, who cares if there is death? Void Champions: The Void can be seen as evil by almost every other faction, but creatures from The Void survive by killing, consuming, and adapting. In the case of Cho'Gath/Kog'Maw, eating is all they do. Kha'Zix does it to become the perfect hunter, and Vel'Koz does it to seek unlimited knowledge. Their ways of going around it are not the best, but that doesn't necessarily make them evil. Now the overall goal of The Void, which is to invade Runeterra and devour it completely might be pretty evil... : He's a spirit of nature, his nature is to destroy things and purge it with fire. Does that make him evil? Not really, it just makes him a drive of nature. Lissandra : Her masters are the Watchers, powerful beings that gifted many of the ancient residents with Iceborn power at the cost of their freedom. Really, she works to return her masters to power, but doesn't make her completely evil. Aatrox : He loves war. He loves joining in on wars and bringing one side power, just for the joy of watching the war go on and death reign. I wouldn't consider him evil though.

But yeah, please remember that everyone has their own opinion on things and not everyone percieves evil the exact same way as someone else. In my opinion I think that Demacia's government is pretty evil, suppressing its people and all for the sake of image.

Gangplank Doesn't just kill people for fun though. "Cruelty with purpose, boys" is one of his lines.

I mean no champion is truly evil every champion has there own reason for doing what they do nexus or demacia the freijlorde tribes zaun piltover so may be betrayed as good champions and the decisions might seem bad but its all from the point of view

Thank you fro all your answers, and yes as i said, i'm not saying this, and this is evil. It's all subjective and all the champions have a reason more or less to do what they do. But if you could put some of those into the villain roles, there are some that may take it better then others.

I mean i think Zed is pretty much a villain

Champs who mostly act according to instincts are not evil (whether they lack intelligence to begin with or they lost it somewhere in the timeline), even though they might be quite chaotic by nature but that doesn't mean they are bad as a whole.

Such as void creatures, Fiddle, Renek, Sion etc

I think bad guy in league is hard to define because the point of veiw factors into it. People would say that darius is a hero to some. Or that zed had a reason for his betrayal (I'm pumped for the zed comic) it's hard to say if anything of them are evil. Execpt AurelionSol he jokes all the time about destroying universes

TurquoiseYoshi9/15/2015, 12:40:02 AM1 votes

I'll give you all a few of those (Thresh, Shaco), but there are a lot of those who aren't really that evil. For example, Elise has to eat somehow. She eats humans, and she does it to live. Singed is a mad scientist and killed a ton of people in Riven's lore, but it was all for the cause of winning the war for Noxus. So everyone has a good and bad side. We just have to look at it from their perspective.

Meep Man9/15/2015, 2:01:28 AM1 votes

Truly evil and insane champions who just want to wreck evil JUST TO KILL (and not for what they believe to be best for the world, since thats just their ideals and killing is not a good ideal btw unless its for a cause, UNLESS YOU are the Shadow Isles or Void since your cause in itself is evil):

Aatrox Chogath DrMundo Elise Fiddlesticks Hecarim Karthus Khazix KogMaw Malzahar Mordekaiser Morgana Nocturne RekSai Renekton Shaco TahmKench Thresh Veigar Velkoz Vladimir Warwick Xerath Yorick

Bonus: Teemo

All of these champions kill without even a questionably good cause and/or want the destruction of Runeterra AND/OR just kill for their own personal power and not ANYONE else. Noxus champions fight for their country (yes even Sion to an extent) and most other "evil" champions from Zaun, Ionia, etc. had a terrible life and are now fighting to gain the power they were promised/had taken from them or are not actually wanting to kill people, just wanting to become more powerful. Some also have their own ideals of where humanity needs to go and have people agreeing with them while others disagree fighting back. If you paint the picture right, Jayce could be the bad guy and Viktor the good guy.

Darius Not evil, he is just willing to do what he has to do to save Noxus from failing apart, much like we need to do here in the USA soon.

Morgana is not evil, she stood up for life questioning why Kayle was going around committing genocide and was shunned for it then betrayed and exiled for question the ways. What happens when people betray you? you seek vengeance regardless of means. IF anything Morgana is a hero, the best hero in league for trying to prevent random races who did not met Kayle's "just" vision to be allowed to live, if i remember correct on other worlds not even their own heavenly world. (inb4 the people were actually evil demons and morgana was being a libtard. :< ) Just because someone uses dark magic don't make them evil.

Syndra I wouldn't say is evil either, she is likely a young angsty woman who wants to grow her gift of magic. If someone limited a gift you had would you not be pissed? I know I would, instead of teaching me control and what not they just secretly limit me. Sure she killed the mage that limited her power's growth but how many others did she kill? we don't know could be hundreds in Ionian, or 0 others. Then she stole a castle and isolated her self to practice her magic in the sky.

Trundle just a dumb power hungry troll wouldn't really say he is evil unless we knew more on how he would rule his area which I assume would be a bit rougher than most other rulers but nothing to crazy, a tragedy they retconned him from the lovable runt troll who tried to do good for his people until he found out they hated him.

Xerath the greatest tragedy of riot's fucking lore team. Old Xerath was a man so gifted in magic it tore at his body, he wasn't malevolent he didn't experiment on other people like say people in zaun do, he was like a scientist, he simply wanted more knowledge he wanted to know and learn. Just like scientists his experiment to save himself messed up and went off like a nuclear bomb, killing all around him and his love tabitha I think her name was. So in his pursuit he lost much, then was punished for it more while he was weakened and placed in the case that contains his energy form.

Then riot goes and fucking turns him into Jaffar from alladin.....that one sickens me pretty much... He had a great lore that I loved and they made him cliche villian number 1.
