Line 60:
* [[Foe-Tossing Charge]]: Her 'Heroic Charge' ability will knock back even champions twice her size.
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Her Scarlet Hammer skin is actually quite menacing, largely due to these.
* [[Good Is Boring]]: Poppy doesn't have a joke or a dance, even though [[MC Hammer]] would suffice for her.
** Well, she DOES have a /joke command- her [[No Sense of Humour|commenting that she doesn't know any jokes.]]
* [[I Call It Vera]]: "Whomper"
Line 88:
'''Associated tropes:'''
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Rammus is an excellent tank against anything that uses Attack Damage... but against AP, he's pretty mediocre. This is largely because of all the buffs you get from Armor and not only are MR items limited in selection, you gain no attack boosts from them. Thus, a good counter to Rammus is to fill your team up with AP champs and make the Rammus player cry as he lives through his worst nightmare. On top of that, Rammus can even have his weakness punished against a team of supposed Attack Damage bruisers -- abilities don't trigger his defensive ball curl OR thornmail, and a decidedly non-zero number of Attack Damage champs have an ability that scales off of attack damage, yet deal magic damage anyways. (Meep.)
** It's not entirely bad, though. Rammus' W; Defensive Ball Curl, raises his MR so it's some comfort. And Taunt makes them pretty much abandon hitting you with their spells and is still going to keep them there while you have Tremors up and the rest of your team is nearby. He's still got a problem with AP champs though... which is probably Riot's way of balancing him out.
** One weekend on the old test servers, Rammus was buffed so that his Magic Resistance contributed to his Ability Power stat as with his armor/AD, but this was axed for ostensibly 'not fitting the lore.'
Line 169:
* [[The Atoner]]: Exemplified with her Redeemed Riven skin.
* [[Badass Normal]]: Like [[Boisterous Bruiser|Garen]] and [[Knife Nut|Katarina]], she lacks a mana bar and is cooldown dependent.
* [[Broken Bird]]: Character concept, underscored by her first ability being called "Broken Wings" and by her dialogue.
{{quote|''"The blade reflects its owner".''}}
* [[Broken Pedestal]]: She definitely didn't take the truth about Noxus very well, if deliberately shattering her cherished Noxian weapon is any indication.
Line 180:
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: Abandoned Noxus only because, in her mind, Noxus has ''already'' abandoned the ideals that made it powerful to begin with in favor of... [[Stupid Evil|well]]...
* [[Evil Costume Switch]]: Her Noxian-themed Crimson Elite outfit. Note how it's [[Evil Is Sexy|skintight around her buttocks]].
* [[Expy]]: According to her designer Xypherous, she's one of Marth from ''[[Fire Emblem]]'', but specifically his abilities and gameplay feel from the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series.
** Lore wise, she bares various similarities with [[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud Strife]]
** Her Redeemed Skin makes her look like [[Final Fantasy Tactics|Meliadoul]]
Line 239:
* [[Ship Tease]]: His mecha's named Tristy, making everyone wonder if he had feelings for Tristana. Consequently in Volume 1, Issue 25 of the Journal of Justice, a mailbag question asked him outright. His answer was: [[Bad Liar|"I-I don’t know what you’re talking about!"]].
** [[Ship Sinking]]: Now that Teemo and Tristana are paired, it doesn't bode well for any feelings he had for her.
* [[The Napoleon]]: He's a very little guy who pilots a scary, weapons-laden machine of war.
* [[The Runt At the End]]: Rumble was always the runt, tiny even by yordle standards, and was constantly bullied growing up as a result -- and became [[The Napoleon|very short-tempered and brutish]] as a result of ''that''.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Sort of; left Bandle City for months, and came back with his robot. Pretty sure no one wants to mess with the runt now.
Line 327:
* [[Psycho for Hire]]
* [[Troll]]: Shaco seems custom-designed to enrage the enemy team as much as possible.
* [[Villainous Harlequin]]
[[File:ShenSquare_259.png|frame]]
Line 359:
* [[Ninja]]: Duh.
* [[Power Trio]]: With Akali and Kennen.
** Even ''with'' the [[Conservation of Ninjutsu|trivial health debuff they receive if teamed up.]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: His two alternate skins, Frozen Shen and Yellow Jacket Shen, resemble [[Mortal Kombat|Sub-Zero and Scorpion]], respectively. He also has a [[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja|doctor skin]].
* [[The Stoic]]: A necessary requirement for fulfilling his training.
Line 436:
** [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: But the magical enchantments on it do...
** [[Shield-Bash]]: And he uses it as a weapon anyway.
* [[Shout-Out]]:

Line 486:
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Boomerang Comeback]]
* [[Boring but Practical]]: Sivir is an excellent farmer, one of the best tower pushers in the game and great support for her team, but she only has a single offensive skill and the most dull ability scaling in the game- even her ultimate is nothing more than an AoE buff. A really GOOD AoE buff, but compared to other characters who have ultimates that can blow half the enemy team to hell it comes off as a mite underwhelming. She's also ''very'' good at Backdooring.
** The remake mitigated this somewhat by changing Richochet to an active ability that added extra damage and reduced its cooldown as you ranked it, rather than a toggle that did nothing but add an aditional bounce. Additionally, her new passive gives her much more scope for poking and kiting. She's now far more interesting to play.
* [[Breast Plate]]
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Of [[Xena: Warrior Princess|Xena]], especially the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|warrior princess]] skin.
* [[Crutch Character]]: To a lesser extent compared to some other champions as she is ''still'' a carry - however, her lower attack range makes it a bit harder to function in teamfights compared to other carries. Sivir does have very good damage potential late-game even among carries, but it will be fairly difficult to make good use of your spell shield and movement speed advantages with an enemy team barreling to you.
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: Although this was less to do with her objecting to the morality of Noxus invading Ionia than her objecting to the strategy they used to do so. More like Defector From Incompetence, at least in her eyes.
* [[Difficult but Awesome]]: Her "E" skill is a shield that nullifies any one skill used against her in the next three seconds, which can block a ''lot''. Her Boomerang Blade ability does a lot of damage and can go from a very far range - but it's tough to hit against careful enemies without a set-up for it with a large mana cost to make missing hurt.
* [[Glass Cannon]]
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: An even-shaped [[wikipedia:Hunga Munga|humga munga]]... thing. Except they call it a glaive, like ''[[Warcraft]]''.
* [[Precision-Guided Boomerang]]
* [[Private Military Contractors]]: Sivir's mercenary activities have made her one of the richest people in Valoran.
* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: Subjective, her Ult is merely an AoE buff, but it's a ''dang'' good one at that!
* [[Rings of Death]]
* [[Stripperific]]: One of the most prevalent examples. No wonder she has such little armour at level one. She's not even wearing underwear!
Line 647:
"Think logically for one sec-CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAWCAWCAWCAWCAWCAW" }}
* [[Shout-Out]]: His form while using his ultimate is awfully reminiscent of a [[Warhammer 40000|Lord of Change.]] His Tyrant skin makes this even more obvious.
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Averted. Extremely bulky for a mage; while not as ridiculous as Morgana, he can still take a massive beating with ease and keep on fighting. His ult also helps healing him.
* [[The Starscream]]: Seems to be working with LeBlanc to assume control of Noxus. He's finally achieved that as of the latest Journal of Justice entry, though to what ends and at who's cost are yet unknown.
* [[Stop Poking Me]]: While not quite clicking, a similar effect can be noted above from [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]] -- Swain does not take well to you repeatedly asking a giant demon bird to tell a joke.
* [[Story and Gameplay Segregation]]: While in the backstory, he's almost entirely responsible for every political upheaval or underhanded Noxian ploy that wasn't caused by LeBlanc, ingame, his being a ''Master Tactician'' is not reflected in any of his abilities, which are fairly standard mage spells, although he is one of the most combo reliant mages alongside LeBlanc and Veigar, and his abilities ''are'' geared towards making fights more one-sided.
** He even lampshades this in his /joke command: "If we approach strategically from the flank... [[When All You Have Is a Hammer|ah, who am I kidding? Let's just morph and eat them]]."
* [[The Strategist]]
