The Stars
Outside of the top players of the world we have the Champions that allow those individuals to break boundaries and hyper carry the team to the enemy Nexus without fail. Each lane has a job, Top, Mid, Jungle, ADC, and Support. Each Champion has a role to play in those lanes. Some, however, can do their job much more efficiently than others. Here I present my list of the most powerful Champions who fall in the category of “God Tier” respectively for each lane and their story.
Top Lane- Ekko
First on our list comes from the rough streets of Zaun itself, Ekko, “the boy who shattered time.” Ekko spends most of his time running with the “The Lost Children of Zaun” regardless of how tough the streets are. Ekko will endure anything to keep his friends safe from danger. Ekko can accomplish this by pushing his limits with Haste time and time again. He can warp time, and manipulate any given situation so that the odds are in his favor to win. He explores various different possibilities and reality. Experimenting with multi-dimensional possibilities with the Zero Drive, Ekko’s invention, a device that allows its creator to manipulate time to fit the situation. Time after time again and again.
Jungle Lane- Rengar
Rengar, the trophy hunter, tirelessly looks for greater game. Heads, claws, horns, and fangs adorn his den from the lethal creatures of Valoran. He takes his time with every hunt, studying his prey, learning, waiting for his next encounter. Rengar never knew his mother and father. Abandoned to a sole human who was revered to as a legendary hunter. The “Feral Human” took in Rengar as his pupil. Rengar absorbed the lessons of his father, even improving upon them with his feral instincts. Before his fathers eyes, he claimed a vast amount of territory. Along the perimeter he mounts the skulls of his slain prey to warn off aggressors. But no beast proved worthy or even came close to challenging him in his domain. Rengar, feeling unsatisfied, believing that there was no longer any worthwhile game remaining, felt he would never again feel the thrill of the hunt. Just when things seemed their bleakest, a strange and disturbing Alien emerged. Out of place in this world, it bore great scythes and devoured any animal that would get in its way. In a desperate greed of a challenge he ambushed the creature with his haste. Their fight was gruesome with each suffering crippling wounds from one another. Rengar lost an eye, but his greatest wound was his pride. The following days he was in great pain, but with filled with joy because the hunt was on…
Rengar “pray on the weak and you will survive, pray on the strong and you will live.”
Mid Lane-Ahri
Unlike other foxes that roamed the woods of southern Ionia, Ahri has always felt a strange connection with the magical world. Deep within her she felt that the skin she was born in was ill fit for her and dreamed of one day becoming human. Her dream of becoming human seemed forever out of reach. Until she happened upon the wake of a battle, it was an awful and grisly scene filled with wounded and dying soldiers. She felt drawn to one human; a robbed man surrounded by a field of magic. His life quickly slipping away. Something deep inside triggered something she couldn’t truly understand. With her mind confused she reached out to the man in robes. His life essence poured into her, invisible strands of magic. The sensation was intoxicating and she was pleased to learn that her long sleek white fur had descended from her body and what remained was the shape of the humans. Her body was long and lithe. She knew however that deep down inside her transformation was incomplete. She adapted herself with the human society, learning about their customs and using her profound gift of beauty to attract unsuspecting men. She could consume their life essence when they are under the spell of her seductive charms. But as she began to take more lives she started to feel a deep regret of her actions. Her dream becoming farther out of reach due to her morality she went in seek of help. Not being able to overcome the evolving morality, Ahri found the institute of war, home of the most gifted mages of Runeterra. They offered her a chance to gain humanity without causing further harm to others through the service of the League of Legends.
Support-Sona
There isn’t much known about Sona’s past. Not even Sona herself knows much. As an infant she was abandoned on the doorstep of Ionian adoption house, nestled atop an ancient instrument in an exquisite case of unknown origins. Sona was a well behaved child and was unusually quiet and content. Her caretakers were sure she would find a home quickly, but they mistook her unusual quite behavior as an inability to speak. Sona was a mute to them. During this time Sona’s caretaker sold her instrument to collectors. However, each time the caretakers sold the instrument it would be returned, or at times, pop up at their doorstep once more. When a wealthy Damacian women named Lestara Buvele learned of this item, she left to the adoption house. Overzealous with the instrument, the women explored the house and found Sona. Without hesitation the Lestara adopted her and left a generous donation for the instrument. With Listara’s guidance, Sona discovered a deep connection with her instrument, which Lestara called a ‘etwhale’. In Sona’s hands it played tones that quivered and stilled hearts of those around her. She quickly began to headline for sold out audiences, playing with her mysterious etwhal. Sona played, plucking the heartstrings and effortlessly manipulating her listeners. Through her concerts she discovered a secret deadly potent of her etwhal. Certain strums of her instrument created vibration waves that can cut from afar. She hones this ability in private to masters her gift. She went to the only place that is fit for her gift: The League of Legends.
ADC-Jhin
Jhin is a Criminal psychopath who believes murder is an art. Once an Ionian prisoner, but freed by a shadowy elements within Ionia’s ruling council, the serial killer now works as Cabal’s assassin using his gun as his paintbrush creating “art”. Jhin does this by works of artistic brutality horrifying victims and onlookers. He gains cruel pleasure by putting on his gruesome theater. This makes him the best choice to deliver the most powerful of messages: Terror.
