best part of hecarim is making him go super fast (he also does more damage the higher his move speed is)

Heimerdinger is great because his gameplay primarily revolves around putting down mini-turrets that fight for you

His design though uhhhhhh

Yeah. Basically his auto-attack is an AoE cone (think his old Q) with a slight knockback vs minions/monsters. It doesn't work well for laning, but it clears the jungle well.

I'm not a fan of the dong either but just to clarify he's a mad scientist furry not a dog. Still sucks though. Hecarim is one of my favourite champions but I don't own him because I don't jungle I just like his design. I actually really like Fiddlesticks though mainly because of the ridiculous way he runs, and his kit is kind of fun. It's one of those easy to learn hard to perfect deals.

for a rough idea look at how far Gnar was moved up after I realized he was a legit monster

or just compare his placement to Heimerdinger

Are you implying that Gnar's cuteness comes anywhere close to even the same galaxy as Heimer?? Cause damn, yo cuteness meter busted as hell lol.

Illaoi
E3L3D7Q

gonna have to say sorry to brother prof on this one, I don't really see anything particularly special here that would put her above the rest of the generic humans cast. it's true that in theory I like female characters who are tall, and who are stronger, but in practice there's always certain bits of context that can affect my opinions on character design.

it's worth noting that when I say strong I also mean stuff like magic, having top tier fighting skills, etc. and not just physically "strong." although raw strength is pretty cool too, there's honestly a point at which characters become a bit too muscular looking that starts to detract from their design for me. I think I mentioned this in one of the earlier generic action dude write ups. anyway, I do think Illaoi is sort of past that line, although I will say her ingame sprite looks a lot better to me than her splash arts.

also maybe I'm just an evil sexist or something but I do definitely prefer more feminine traits and she doesn't seem to have as many of those. honestly her appearance is really inconsistent between her splash art, character sprite, and fan arts... and I think it kinda shows that a lot of fans also prefer to draw her slightly more feminine than her canon design. I guess the world is just not ready for the kraken priestess even in 2018....

the resistance skin looks cool as hell though, I chose that one to post for the art in this topic.

Irelia
iB6HVaP

another generic human fighter, she's a melee fighter who enhances her abilities with magic. hey, we just talked about this a few entries ago! guess it's not as rare in league as in some other settings. she's kind of pretty but doesn't stand out in any particular way that would cause me to rate her as high as, say, caitlyn.

placement: a sort of ahri or camille type that I don't particularly care about, but is somewhat visually appealing. I like her better than ahri but probably less than camille (since camille is more nonhuman)

I once again went ahead and used my favorite splash art here even though it's not much like her basic design at all. if she actually was a fairy or something she'd be a lot cooler...

Ivern
TvknJuV

just your average big tree dude. not really terrible or amazing. I get the impression that literally no one cares about this guy, mostly because he only has two splash arts and not a lot of other materials listed on the wiki. didn't see much fan art of him either so I wouldn't be surprised if people generally forget about him.

of course this is all speculation. anyway as someone who does like to use more CC type abilities I can honestly say the main reason is because I'm really bad at aiming. the idea of having to aim a skillshot at an opponent and hit them with it in order to root them sort of goes against the entire point of playing a control character, at least for me.

I bumped his placement a bit because of the dance, but now I'm wondering if every champ has one?

(funny enough he landed right next to Irelia for now)

Ivern is awful.
He's pretty new so doesn't have as many skins as the older champions yet.

Irelia is really strong in the game. Her abilities are kind of busted or they were last I heard she may have been nerfed since if I remember correctly she's supposed to be quite young but that may another champion? Leona, maybe.

Illaoi is ok if you're into tentacles.

No love for Assrelia?

Well I played back in like 2012, and back when she was two years old, she was still drowning in skins. I think this guy is just unpopular so they don't make skins for him.

The development cycle has slowed down a lot, that is part of why.

A lot of the 2016 and after champions only have 1 or 2 alt skins.

Yes, every champ has a dance, the skins will sometimes change the dance also.

Because Riot realized that a new champ every two weeks wasn't sustainable, and less frequent but better(and more expensive) skins made them more money.

Janna
qkLrvcR

Some kind of elemental or wind spirit or something, she looks human enough that the difference probably doesn't matter too much. Her forecast skin is pretty amusing, and her Star Guardian skin is actually really awesome looking. I'm guessing this is part of a set where they did a few others to look like Mahou Shoujo but if there have been any others I missed them so far. Whoops.

the legacy skins like hextech and bewitching look legitimately great too. honestly I think Janna is largely carried by her skins. her base concept is definitely more on the unique end of what we've seen so far, but her design itself is fairly boring... up to the point where you start to notice she has a ton of awesome skins.

that's good enough for an overall pretty high placement.

Jarvan IV
9iBwygz

Jarvan the Fourth is apparently some important dude from Demacia, which is a word I know because seomeone else said it in this topic. Apparently he has the ability to throw his flag at stuff and cause damage to it. George Washington would be proud.

He's basically an armor dude with a lance, which is pretty cool, I guess. His skins are basically just him in other armor dude armors.. which is... meh... whatever. The Dark Star one is actually legitimately cool though. He looks like he could be some kind of cosmic villain from a comic book line.

Overall, whatever. And apparently that's good enough to place him above a lot of other characters.

Jax
MwwHBAk

Oh, shit. As soon as I saw this guy's portrait I knew I liked him. His race is listed as "unknown" so we can safely just imagine that he's not human. His glowing eyes or mask or whatever the hell that is, it's pretty cool. Once I looked at his full body and posture he looks a little bit weird and clunky, but there's a certain charm to that as well. If he just had a normal "human standing straight up" body type it'd be easy to imagine he was just a generic human. It's harder to feel that way looking at his weird posture and proportions. But, maybe. Who really knows?

His weapon is apparently a lamp post. That's pretty fun. I like improvised weapons.

The skins I looked at, I think they reveal a little too much and make you have a more clear idea of what he is. I think I liked him better when he was mysterious. Funny enough I thought the Nemesis splash art looked kind of bad, but the ingame model for it looks very cool.

Gonna be an overall high ranking for this guy. He's not as awesome as some of my favorites, especially the monsters, but he's definitely well above the level of generic human badass.

Jayce
y6cWC2Q

I'm going to pronounce that as Jay C and there's nothing you can do to stop me. Was going to make fun of his superman wannabe haircut but then I saw he was literally listed as "the defender of tomorrow"... so I guess that was pretty intentional, huh?

I think he's another time traveler or time based character, assuming his title and abilities are being understood correctly by me skimming his profile for all of 25 seconds. Love hammers, they're one of my favorite weapons, and that transforming into a cannon is enough to rank him at least slightly above the Ekko who I have a similar opinion about --time based powers are kind of cool, but at the end of the day he's just another pretty normal looking fighter guy.

Looking at the rest of the list above Ekko I think Jayce is actually good enough to clear more than a few spots, issue is that he ends up being near Jax and I think there is a divide between them. So I will stick Jayce outside of the top tier while Jax goes into the top tier.
