Hey summoners! Welcome to the second installment of my Top Fives. Today I will review the top five champion designs of the original 40 champions. Like my first article, I will make five categories and a top champ for each.

1. Storyline: So few are the players who take great interest in the storylines of champions. I'd have to say that many of these stories are intriguing and a refreshing outlook on the game. There is one champion I find to have a storyline far more intricate than the others'. His gameplay aspect and coolness factor usually take summoners immediately beyond his background. I'm sure many of you could tell me the sister of Kayle or the brother of Nasus or even the child born to gypsy parents. But can you tell me the man who was cursed eternally by Soraka?



2. Art Design: League of Legends became such a hit largely due to its artistic savvy and originality. Some champions have badass detail like Mordekaiser. Others have impressive animations like Morgana. Then, of course, there are the cute irresistable yordles. Lastly, some champs have a great variety of skins and wonderful skin designs, whether made by or custom-made by fans. There is one champion that has all these elements.



3. Gameplay: So far, I've discussed out-of-game categories. It is important to take into account all aspects of champion design. As for gameplay, this may have been the toughest choice. Each champion has a unique play style and strategy. One of the most fun ways to play is unseen. Who in the world would not want to be invisible? But of the four stealth champions, one is a whole bunch more fun than the others.



4. Originality: This category is even tougher to judge because it combines elements of the previous three. I looked for a champion with an original storyline, art, and gameplay context and came out with one hell, literally, of a champion. This champion, baptized in the Howling Swamp of Valoran, now not only rules that Swamp but also this category. I hereby crown...



5. Overall: One champion has to take the cake. One champion is the symbol, a mascot of League. His cutsie design yet unique gameplay has made him a favorite choice of many summoners, both casual and competitive.

Agreed, and i guessed the spoiler for the last one after reading the text! Haha go Teemo!

It's ridiculous how many fan creations include Teemo.

Yeah haha, even when Riot makes a new login screen that doesn't evolve around the new champion they're releasing, it almost always includes that cute little yordle.
