What's your favorite champion artistically/design-wise?

And why? Gameplay doesn't matter what-so-ever, unless it's related to the visuals of their ability animations/icons.

I can't for the life of me play her even to an average level, but man do I love Irelia's design. Despite her face in her splash art being a tad generic, everything else is basically A+. You get the flowing blades as well as her adornment having more flow to its design.

Ornn Is the perfect dissapointed father character with a perfect voice to boot. TahmKench Probably being the true favorite character design and lore wise. I'm a sucker for the whole deal with the devil story. Would be nice to have a high noon skin or something else Western. Ivern Is probably the only good whimsical character that doesn't get old to listen to.

I know her design isn't "amazing" but she's sexy, powerful, and a red head.

The flavor, the personality. The two coats. The little top hat.

Visually Irelia is one of Riots best works, but SOOOOO whiny! "wah wah wahh Ionia wahh wahh ice"

I like the FUN champs, Jinx, Zoe, yuumi... I'm wearing LOTS of belts... for no reason at allll

I can't really decide between the 3. Jinx has a great video, Yuumi is every internet cat meme come to life, and Zoe... has stigmas...

I guess I'd put Jinx

I disagree that gameplay doesn't matter. There are characters that I like artistically, but when a character's aesthetics and personality are in harmony with their gameplay feel, that adds another level of enjoyment for me. Personally such champions are:

Ezreal He is an arrogant, bishonen jerk that is constantly on the move and annoys those he has exchanges with: His art design is pretty bland and it follows his theme as a charismatic yet self-centered explorer. His gameplay is also in line with his identity, since he is skill based, slippery, and there's nothing more annoying than an IBG Ez

Azir Basically the champion that best represents Shurima and his design drawing inspiration from the god Horus is a great design choice considering the general Egyptian inspiration for Shurima. On top of that, his gameplay perfectly simulates the feeling of being a powerful commanding presence that also dives into action when needed.

Evelynn / Warwick I am pitting them together because they are such successful designs that follow similar paths: They both sell the feeling of being a predator each in their own way, one by ambushing you, luring you in and finishing you off, the other by sniffing you out and running you down relentlessly. Prob my favorites

Aatrox Because he's a big demon guy with a big sword

Mordekaiser Because he's a big metal man with a big mace

And I adore their voices too

Even his name is on point with a reference to Shakespeare's Hamlet (and tied to death too). Truly majestic

Pantheon I don't care about lore at all, but Panth was the only champ I ever played for his theme.

Not even a close competition. Everything about this champion is beautiful.

I can never decide between Kindred and Bard. I wish they made cosmic entities more often because they always look amazing. AurelionSol is great too for that reason.

Velkoz! I love how fluid his motions are, and his entire "amoral void scientist" personality. It's not that he's evil for disintegrating that cat, he just wants to understand it and learn about it.....

Pantheon based off of one of my favorite historical cultures. And while of cartoony proportions he has armor that won’t make him objectively worse at fighting, which is as good as LoL armor gets really.

If skins could be added, then Winged Hussar Xin Zhao for much the same reason as Pantheon.

Azir I always feel power from this man. Power goes from everything in his design

Heart of Light7/27/2019, 10:30:27 PM2 votes

Lux She is my main so it makes sense, but I love everything about her. Her base skin may be old, yet I never got tired bout it. I love her inner Light and her lore makes me feel identified.

Kindred They have some of the best quotes of the game, my favourite is: 'Beauty fades. That's why it is beautiful'. But their gameplay feels a bit frustrating to me so I haven't played Kindred in a long time.

Diana Artistically I love everything about her too and her splash art is magestic. Her gameplay is not my favourite but sometimes I enjoy playing her.

Leona The other side of Diana and one of the most beautiful champions of this game.

Ornn I really just love the way he's designed. His theme of being a fiery, forge god is well executed, I love his VO, and he just feels fluffy just from looking at him.

Mordekaiser The rework did an amazing job of making him feel more unique and still menacing. The mace is massive, the armor is well designed, I just love this look for him.

Jhin He's just a perfect blend of psychopathic killer and artist.

Shyvana Mainly due to her splash art. The way she's presented is just great. A good combination of looking human but still keeping dragon aspects and feel.

Shen The spirit blade was a great concept that brought new life to his character, his auto attack animations are great, the idea of rapidly alternating between the blade and that small curved dagger-thingy is great as it makes him feel like a really unique fighter in game, and all his particle effects are fantastic too

It's a battle between :Lux & Neeko ! But if I had to choose it would be Neeko; she's just such a fun champ. She's colorful, she fits the "rift" look, she's fun, she's curious, and her skill set is a blast to play with. You can't really say anything negative about Neeko. It's one of the newer champs Riot didn't just fart out and that I actually like.

Aatrox. Because of his voicelines. It really gets into his character. How he tries to focus on the battle at hand rather than the risk of being trapped forever. His introspective moments, and his occasional quip. It makes him feel more like a_ person._
