i just saw the cosmic queen ashe splash for teh first time and it looks sick

decided to also do rankings while following the topic along and to compare since that seems manageable instead of spending however long doing them at once. i am factoring gameplay-related reasons into rankings though so the comparison aspect may be a little off. whatever... i guess i'll stop comparing soon enough anyway since the lists will get too lengthy

so far:

I still play, somewhat irregularly though. Been diamond for 3 consecutive seasons. Kinda frustrating to play because I'd personally ban like 10 champions every game but I only get 1. They've especially done a pretty awful job with game balance for new or reworked ones imo. But playing on alt accounts or doing unranked games with friends is fun.

Braum is a champ who's design looks really average, but really shines once you see him in-game, voiced, etc. I don't fault somebody who hasn't played the game for missing that.

That's true, he's a really lovable guy but you might not get that by just looking at him. I think he's also one of the most enjoyable support characters to play, his E is so satisfying when used well.

Camille
vzN4YhV

Holy cow why is this lady so thin? She looks like she is made of paper or something. I'm not even kidding or being hyperbolic, either, something about her just looks a little bit off...?

Her Coven skin looks really cool, though. I'm sticking her right in the middle, neutral ground, slightly above Ahri who I have no strong feelings about.

Cassiopeia
1VWBdE7

Skimmed her wiki entry quickly and I think it's pretty funny that she can't equip boots. Hopefully that doesn't count as racist humor... Uh, anyway, monster races are cool but I'm not a big fan of snakes. They creepy me out, honestly. I think placing her below Alistar works, and I definitely like her more than hipster braum, so that makes her placement easy.

Cho'Gath
WUP9OGz

Hell yeah now this is a monster. He regains health and mana by killing targets, he can smash people into the air, and of course he roars. The only downside is that his base design is not great and his skins... are probably the most cringeworthy set of skins overall, of every champion I've looked at so far.

If I ignore his skins and rate him just on his base he's definitely a somewhat cool guy.

Final verdict... ehhh... still pretty middling. I like his monster concept but his design could really use some work, and that's the main thing I'm raking champions on.

Corki
sjUHYbD

Corgi is just your stereotypical gnome that is good at engineering and blowing things up. I don't know if league of legend has gnomes but we all know what this is as soon as we see it. Low for originality, and since it's a trope I don't even care about that's low for design as well. He's not quite amumu bad, because I can tell what he is, but he's still pretty bad.

At least is name is easy to make fun of.

Darius
99mlSKF

Well he certainly looks angry. He fits nicely into the badass action dude trope but his design doesn't quite hit the right notes for me. He'll certainly rank above all of the wimps, creeps, and furries, but I doubt he'll compare favorably against other badass characters who have more defining traits than a standard short hair dude + armor design.

I intentionally selected good fan art that made him look more cool and distinct than his original design, and he still kinda just looks like a budget Guts ripoff.

For now I'll stick him above the newly established blitzcrank line. If you rank below blitzcrank then you are probably bad.

It's not a such a direct nerf because her base movement speed is a little higher than average iirc to compensate and her kit otherwise affects movement as well. Landing Q gives buff and W inhibits all movement techs from enemy champs.

Cass is grreaat. That body and tail movement is A+. Mythic is one of my fav skinsss

I think this is a thing that is hurting some of these characters for me. I get the appeal of steampunk it's just not for me.

looking over the topic so far and how I keep trashing most tropes and character concepts it seems like there are a lot of things that don't appeal to me. but funny enough I think I am pretty simple, and easy to please. at least from my perspective. the stuff designed to impress everyone else just seems to suck from my point of view...

I sort of remember Teemo, I think he's like a furry, though... so you're saying there's this race of gnomes that can be normal looking, or furries, or mummies, or whatever else? what exactly is the consistency point between them? just being tiny...?

Her base movement speed grows from like 330 to 400 with levels. She ends up with more movement speed than people with boots without buying them.

Diana, SCORN OF THE MOON
RUvtc7L

She has one of those ridiculous titles that sounds like the name of a prog rock song, so I thought it would be funny enough to include. She reminds me of Camille from the previous group, but looks a bit different enough. I'd say I like Diana a bit more. Her design feels less awkward. I don't know if they're both cyborgs or not anyway, or whatever they are... or aren't.

When I look at her full picture she doesn't seem to be a creepy cyborg so maybe that's why she looks more human. I guess I just assume all female characters with white hair are related now.

Also she a melee champion which is good stuff. Don't particularly like her hair or most of her skins, but the dark water one looks great. Man I really do just like hats, don't I?

Ranking: Solid.

Dr. Mundo
v0IAiTc

So this is a great example of the corny type of monster that I DON'T like. Thank you DR. Mundo for existing.

Ranking: Bottom tier.

Draven
24Fc8oX

Draven the scummy executioner. I guess all I know about him right now is that he won a gamefaqs contest and people are probably expecting a more proper write up. Perhaps one filled with SEETHING HATRED. All I can say right now is that at least he just has a scummy/dirtbag looking mustache instead of a hipster mustache.

Nothing about his design looks cool to me, though, which is probably a good thing. I'm the type who would definitely praise his design and rate him high if I thought he was actually a cool looking character. Since I think he looks like a giant dork I can just say that and avoid the scorn of the masses here.

Ranking: Low-to-Whatever

Ekko the Dolphin
UWikDaM

Apparently this kid is a melee attacker who uses time magic. I skimmed through his abilities, some of them sound kind of cool. He does the stuff you'd expect; slowing targets, hasting himself, summoning time clones. You want to hit the same target multiple times quickly to get stacks of bonus damage when using basic attacks.

I don't love his overall design but he does have a cool looking sword. Since I tend to prefer melee champions and his abilities sound at least somewhat interesting he also has that going in his favor.

Placement: Whatever-to-Solid.

Elise
Bgu8lve

Hey, she might be one of the first Ranged champions I went and bothered to read her abilities. Maybe because I did it for a few already in this batch and I was already in the mood... maybe because she's a hot spider lady... the world may never know.

I've talked before about my preference for non-human characters, although it hasn't gotten the chance to show too many times because we've mostly seen the exact types that I don't have affinity for. Elise in particular has a ton of points in her favor: Tall, I love tall female characters. Monster, I love monsters. She has some pretty rockin' skins. Her abilities sound pretty interesting even in spite of being ranged. I like more esoteric things like poison rather than very on-the-nose stuff like 'shoots fireballs.'

She also looks pretty metal. Not as much as Aatrox, for sure, but she's also way more sexy than he is so uh...

Ranking: Attractive Female Characters > Badass Dudes > Everyone Else > Furries, Creeps, and Wimps

Top tier apparently. And while Caitlyn was fairly solid, I'd say Elise is more the type of character that I would actually rank very high. Cait was just on top of the list by default until better options arrived. Namely, hot monsters. She'd be better if she had a more abnormal skin color, but nobody is perfect.

I didn't read anything about his playstyle but looking at the fact that he's holding a flask I could imagine he might be the type I'd actually like to play. I tend to prefer characters who can drop really obnoxious AoE status effects even if they can't do much else (maybe some mediocre healing or damage, but CC potential is priority for me).

could be totally off base with that guess but 'annoying to play against' does make me think he could potentially fit that mold.

that being said his design is so lame to me that I'd probably rank him very low and never play him regardless.
