Line 29:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Her title is the Deceiver, and her organization deals with illusions. Since she's as old as the ageless lord of Noxus, Boram Darkwill, this would make her EXTREMELY old.
** Or [[Epileptic Trees|maybe not]] as her Judgement implies that LeBlanc is the honorary title of the Order of the Black Rose, [[Legacy Character|passed down from each matron to her successor]], together with an illusion that makes them all share the same appearance. "Emilia" LeBlanc's ''real'' name is actually Evaine. Alternatively there may even be elements of [[Grand Theft Me]] involved.
* [[Sexy Santa Dress]]: Mistletoe LeBlanc combines this with a Grade A [[Zettai Ryouiki]].
* [[Stripperiffic]]
* [[Teleport Spam]]
Line 71:
* [[Improbable Hairstyle]]: Has a braided topknot that's long enough that he wraps it around his neck two or so times.
* [[Inspired By]]: His self-immolation in protest to a major conflict was clearly shaped by [[wikipedia:Th%C3%ADch Qu%E1%BA%A3ng %C4%90%E1%BB%A9c|another monk]], over [[The Vietnam War]].
* [[Japanese Ranguage]]: Several times you can hear stereotypical L and R switching.
{{quote|"Brindness is no impairment against a smelly enemy." }}
* [[Jossed]]: Popular fan theory that he's been remade into another, already released champion.
Line 86:
** [[Punny Name]]: How does he find you? He can't see, so he "Lee Sins" for you.
* [[Super Senses]]
* [[What Could Have Been]]: He was one of the first champions designed and was in [[Development Hell]] until 2011 when he was finally released.
* [[Zen Survivor]]: Well, duh. A pretty big part of his characterization is that, [[Truth in Television|like any good Zen teacher]], talking to him while expecting a straightforward answer will prove completely infuriating. In his League Judgment, he wound up talking rhetorical circles around the summoner who was supposed to judge ''him''.
 
Line 212:
* [[Long-Lost Relative]]: {{spoiler|Of sorts -- she knows who Garen is and what he does, but her League Judgement implies she never seen or spoke to him after enlisting in the Demacian military (or possibly even ever) aside from League broadcasts. In the judgement, she feels the urge to call out to the illusion of Garen.}}
* [[Magical Girl]]: She was created by Japanese designer Shurelia to specifically reflect this archetype.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: 'Lux' is 'light' in Latin. It is also a unit used in measuring the brightness and intensity of light.
* [[Motor Mouth]]: A mild but noticeable example in her in-game lines, especially in one of her joke lines when she explains a double rainbow.
* {{spoiler|[[Parental Abandonment]]: Lux's parents casually gave her over to the Demacian military to serve the state at the age of 13, without showing the slightest signs of regret or reluctance.}}
Line 333:
* [[Samurai]]: Samurai Yi
* [[Shout-Out]]: He has a skin that makes him look like a [[Star Wars|Jedi]], complete with [[Laser Blade|lightsaber]] in place of his normal sword.
* [[Skill Gate Character]]: He teaches other teams to avoid backdooring, as Master Yi is one of the best champions to do this with.
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]:
{{quote|"Wuju pass me that potion?"}}
Line 382:
'''Associated tropes:'''
 
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Morde is one of the only champions in the game with no forms of crowd control or mobility mechanics whatsoever. This means that he is relatively easy to escape from, compared to most of the other casters.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]:
{{quote|"You only need to click once, fool."}}
Line 396:
* [[Mighty Glacier]]
* [[Odd Friendship]]: He's in a band with Sona, Yorick, and Karthus.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: According to [[Word of God]] he's very protective of Sona as the only living member of Pentakill.
* [[Plaguemaster]]: Although none of his actual abilities reflect it, Mordekaiser is repeatedly mentioned in the backstory to be drawn to sources of plague and death, particularly in the Zaunite slums, [[Polluted Wasteland|"where the gutters glow green with techmaturgical runoff."]] In fact, in case you're wondering how he got into music in the first place...
{{quote|'''JP:''' Mordekaiser, you're an enigma both in and out of the arena. What draws you away from the Field of Justice to pursue this surprising side-project?
Line 445:
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Averted. Morgana is actually one of the bulkiest mages in the game and can substitute quite well for a tank.
* [[Stone Wall]]: Morg is banned left and right not because of her offensive ability (she CAN lay down a ton of pain, but it's very situational and will not happen very often at all), but because unless counterpicked, she is absolutely impossible to force out of lane. You can try and budge her, but she'll just shrug it off and go back to farming like nothing happened. Hell, even ganking her usually fails because she'll just toss down her ult and blast you with her combo, which really, really hurts to the point where you might actually die.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Her outfit is more or less a long skirt and a bra. The way she takes hits, you'd think that's a Kevlar Wonderbra she's got on.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Compared to Kayle, she's a more girly girl -- Morgana exclusively uses spells and wears, y'know, [[Stripperiffic|that outfit]].
* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: When she's not inflicting pain on her opponents in the Fields of Justice, Morgana runs a chain of bakeries called 'Sinful Succulence'.
Line 476:
* [[Egyptian Mythology]]
* [[Evolving Attack]]: His "Siphoning Strike" ability, which gains bonus damage every time you lasthit with it. Once you put a few skill points in it, it's quite easy to power it up several times per creep wave... if you're free to concentrate on the timing, which is unlikely in a game where [[Griefing]] enemy players is a key tactic. After the laning phase breaks down, you can steal away and farm in peace... but [[Ineffectual Loner|it's dangerous to go alone]].
* [[HotImprobable Skitty-On-WailordSpecies ActionCompatibility]]: Nasus looks like Anubis (jackal), and Renekton looks like Sobek (crocodile). One can only wonder what their parents looked like.
* [[Magikarp Power]]: In the early game, Nasus is quite an easy target, but "Siphoning Strike" can hit like a train in the late game. The number one rule of fighting against Nasus is "''Do. Not. Let. Him. Free. Farm''" or he will turn those 200 creep kills into a staff-whack that removes half of your health.
* [[The Mario]]: Does a bit of everything.
Line 540:
* [[Catgirl]]: Well, she doesn't actually have cat ears, but she can turn into a cougar and was raised by cats. It certainly seems this was what the creator(s?) was/were going for.
* [[Crutch Character]]: Is less powerful endgame than a dedicated support, ranged-DPS, or fighter champion.
* [[Difficult but Awesome]]: The above and below claims are somewhat subverted in that during the most recent official tournament game between TSM and CLG (ie: two of the best teams playing LoL), Nidalee was still automatically banned by TSM solely due to [[CL Gs]] Hotshotgg's fearsome reputation when playing her. She's now almost always the first-pick ban in professional matches.
* [[Fan Service]]: A sexy [[Stealth Pun|cougar]] in a [[Fur Bikini]] whose /dance emote causes her to pole dance on her spear and whose /joke is "Did I mention it's mating season?" And then there's...
* [[French Maid]]: A skin for her. '''[[Fan Service|Yes.]]'''
Line 602:
Lore V1: An Inuit-ish boy who came from a family that rode Yetis, rodeo-style, for fun. After getting hold of the world's largest Yeti, Nunu went a little nuts with power and basically decided to rampage across the planet for fun and profit.
 
Lore V2: Nunu is a kind girl born with the ability to wield ice magic. She befriended a sick yeti and raised him back to health, and the two have been friends ever since.
 
Lore V3: Nunu is a orphan raised by yetis, who rides into battle alongside of his adoptive Yeti brother Willump in order to fight for Yeti rights.
