3. Kindred
Release: 2015
Quote: Tell me again, little lamb, what is my due?
Everything, dear wolf.
Kindred is challenging to rank as they are not a living being but an entity. They can be described as the personification of death. The lamb is merciful to those who accept death, while the wolf hunts those who flee from it.
Kindred is like a deity or a myth that exists in Runeterra. Since living beings exist, so does Kindred. No one has ever seen them who could report on it. Only two ancient masks are said to have captured their likeness (via League of Legends).
2. Bard
Release: 2015
Quote: Bard does not speak
Like our number 1, Bard has existed since the dawn of the universe. He is a traveler. But he does not travel through lands, rather through the cosmos. He is also less of a classic living being, more of an entity. In search of a unique melody, he finds himself in Runeterra.
Bard’s goal is the balance of the world. He wanders both outside of reality and within Runeterra, bringing joy to people and beings. Nevertheless, he senses cosmic dangers that threaten peace (via League of Legends).
1. Aurelion Sol
Release: 2016
Quote: Throw yourself to the ground. Pray. Wonder. All fitting.
Aurelion Sol had a tumultuous origin story. For a long time, he was planned as the nemesis of Udyr Ao Shin, but this did not work out properly. Aurelion Sol is the strongest champion in Runeterra on this list. Like the three previous champions, he operates outside the physical world.
He is a cosmic being, in whose eyes Runeterra is just a small place. He was born with the universe and has the power to create stars and planets. Mortal Targonians tricked him and captured his power with a crown, but his prison seems to be slowly waning. (via League of Legends)
Apart from the battles between mortals, it is difficult to assess how powerful some champions are. Another problem is the lore itself. Riot does not provide every champion with an elaborated lore. If you feel someone is missing from this list, let us know in the comments. The newest champion may not make it to this list, but perhaps into the meta: LoL: Pro players fear that the new champ Aurora is too strong
