Line 21:
* [[Crutch Character]]: Strong early game, falls off hard late game.
* [[Death From Above]]: His ultimate also doubles as a free teleport.
* [[Death of a Thousand Cuts]]: His Heartseeker Strike active ability is [[Non -Indicative Name|much less precise than the name implies]] and mostly consists of a bunch of strikes made very quickly over an area.
** On the other hand, it's Heartseeker Strike's ''passive'' effect that causes Pantheon's normal attacks to automatically critical on any enemy with low HP, so it ''sort'' of fits.
* [[Difficult but Awesome]]: Pantheon has a bit of a bad reputation amongst the fanbase because a lot of people assume his ult is like Twisted Fate's. If you use it to jump into a fight or to gank someone, most of the time it doesn't work due to the fact they get a pretty obvious warning.
Line 27:
** His moveset is that of the Dragoon class from ''[[Final Fantasy]]''.
* [[Finishing Move]]: His Heartseeker Strike passive makes his autoattack critically hit against opponents at 15% health or less and causes his Spear Shot to do extra damage <ref>Despite the ability's wording, Spear Shot does not truly critically strike and does not benefit from critical strike damage.</ref>
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: His passive fully blocks any attack that does more than 40 damage, including tower shots.
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]: Boy howdy...
{{quote| '''Pantheon''': They are ''privileged'' to die at my feet. They ''disgrace'' the art of War!}}
Line 33:
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: "I wanted to be a baker!" Also, a [[Shout Out]] to ''[[Three Hundred]]''.
* [[Scary Black Man]]: His Myrmidon skin.
* [[Shield -Bash]]
* [[The Spartan Way]]
* [[Tap On the Head]]: A side-effect of his [[Shield -Bash]] ability.
 
[[File:PoppySquare_6770.png|frame]]
Line 58:
* [[Cute Bruiser]]
* [[Drop the Hammer]]
* [[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.
Line 70:
* [[No Sense of Humour]]
{{quote| "Jokes? I don't know any jokes."}}
* [[One -Man Army]]: A Poppy focusing on attack damage or a mixture of attack and ability damage can easily butcher the entire enemy team single-handedly and essentially eliminate even the basic concept of a teamfight come endgame. And, unlike other melee carries, she's FAR harder to shut down.
* Fighting is [[Serious Business]]: One of her lines. Of course, if any action has a legitimate claim to that label, fighting definitely does.
* [[Take Up My Sword]]: Well, hammer anyway.
Line 148:
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: His rage has driven him insane to the point where his only thoughts revolve around slaughtering everything he can get to.
* [[Retcon]]: References to Renekton in Nasus' lore painted him as a treacherous tyrant who attempted to enslave their people. By the time Renekton himself was released, his backstory was changed to a good guy who served as the gatekeeper to Nasus' great library until perpetual contact with evil men drove him insane and sent him into a permanent killing frenzy.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Originally labeled Renek'''h'''ton in his concept art and in an earlier issue of the Journal of Justice.
* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Renekton was the one the League wanted to summon, but they got Nasus accidentally.}}
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: It's essentially his default setting.
Line 188:
** Exactly as predicted, the skin was added to the game for Easter 2012.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: It would seem [[Blaz Blue|Noel]] is no longer using dual guns.
* [[Hyperspace Mallet|Hyperspace Sword]]: Her blade just reforges itself, presumably out of pure energy.
* [[It Was a Gift]]: Her sword was not only a gift but a commendation from the Noxian High Command.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/riven The definition of the word "riven"] is split or torn apart.
* [[One -Handed Zweihander]]: Her reforged blade is about as large as she is, and yet she still prefers swinging it with just one hand.
* [[Playboy Bunny]]: Battle Bunny Riven. The dreams of the community have finally come true.
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Proud Warrior City Gal]]
* [[Razor Wind]]: Gets an attack called Wind Slash when she hits her ultimate.
* [[Reforged Blade]]: Her ultimate does this.
* [[Shell -Shocked Veteran]]: ''Literally''. Singed is kind of a jerk.
* [[Shout Out]]: A character named 'Riven' who is an exile... which main protagonists of a certain [[Knights of the Old Republic|Star Wars game series]] does this remind you of?
** "[[Warcraft III|You are beyond redemption]]".
Line 204:
* [[Still Wearing the Old Colors]]
* [[We Have Reserves]]: Her backstory indicates that this is the Noxian Military's philosophy, which is only expected.
* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]
 
 
Line 225:
* [[Determinator]]: During his League Judgement he was confronted with a nightmare vision of Heimerdinger piloting an immense, super-advanced mech (which is actually a dream version of his own) that crushed Rumble's beloved Tristy like a toy. Rumble spat defiance at him and was ready to go on fighting with his ''fists.''
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: A "Yordle Nationalist" before anything -- his background makes mention of an altercation with some previously amicable human engineers that, after some "choice words" from him, culminated in his having the stuffing beaten out of him and being called an "embarrassment".
* [[Hair -Trigger Temper]]
* [[Hawaiian Shirted Tourist]]: In his Rumble in the Jungle skin.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: He sounds like [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy|Billy]] and [[The Angry Beavers|Daggett]].
* [[I Call It Vera]]: He calls his [[Mini Mecha]] "Tristy". Possible connections to Tristana are unconfirmed at this time.
* [[Pirate]]: His Bilgerat skin.
Line 234:
* [[Mini Mecha]]: It's certainly large enough to seat him (semi-)comfortably in the cockpit, but there are some champions whose ''bodies'' are larger than it.
* [[Percussive Maintenance]]: When Tristy breaks down Rumble starts it again by kicking it in the mace.
* [[Pint -Sized Powerhouse]]
* [[Reverse Shrapnel]]: His Scrap Shield.
* [[Shout Out]]: Either this or a straight up copy of The Chipper in ''[[Heroes of Newerth]]'' down to the vector targeted ultimate.
Line 324:
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: Normally his eyes both glow brilliant green, but his [[Alice in Wonderland (Literature)|Mad Hatter]] skin shows he actually has one red and one green.
* [[Monster Clown]]
* [[Paper -Thin Disguise]]: [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101218123636/leagueoflegends/images/0/02/Shaco_NutcrackoLoading.jpg The Nutcracko.] [[Sarcasm Mode|That's definitely a]] [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|nutcracker and]] [[Blatant Lies|not a]] [[Monster Clown|crazy]] [[Villainous Harlequin|clown.]]
* [[Psycho for Hire]]
* [[Troll]]: Shaco seems custom-designed to enrage the enemy team as much as possible.
Line 347:
* [[Cool Mask]]: His Blood Moon Shen skin features a cool Hannya mask.
* [[Counter Attack]]: His passive ability, Ki Strike, empowers his basic attacks every nine seconds, dealing extra damage that increases alongside his max health, but fits into the spirit of this trope by empowering his attack much sooner for every enemy attack that hits him.
* [[Dual -Wielding]]: Has two swords in scabbards strapped to his back, and keeps a hand on each while standing still. However, he only uses one for attacking (aside from crits or using Ki Strike, in which he uses both).
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
** [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Though he's less capable of killing you rather than helping the rest of his team do it for him.
* [[The Faceless]]: As a ninja, his face has never been shown.
* [[Highly -Visible Ninja]]: He ''charges'' right at you, even.
** Though he still manages to always be there when you least expect it, dashing through walls or using his ultimate to appear on the other side of the map in an instant.
* [[In HarmsHarm's Way]]: An integral part of his Shadow Dash skill.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: He's a ''flippin' '' ninja!
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
* [[Mana Meter]]: In the form of an Energy Meter, a mechanic he shares with Akali, Kennen, and Lee Sin.
Line 387:
* [[Attack Attack Attack]]: Her abilities heavily reward aggression and being in the thick of things.
* [[Double Consciousness]]: In her old lore: Is normally calm and collected. Except when she decides to turn into a dragon. Her new lore does not retain this trait as explicitly, though it mentions "She blends her fiery draconian blood with her adopted principles of justice".
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: See [[Foe -Tossing Charge]].
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
** [[Fireball Eyeballs]]: In dragon form.
* [[Foe -Tossing Charge]]: Her ultimate, Dragon's Descent, lets her [[Dynamic Entry|jump right at her enemies and knock them a short distance back if they're in her way]].
* [[Giant Flyer]]: Well, for a second with one ability in-game. Her ultimate which turns her into a dragon and has her swoop down an area.
* [[Half -Human Hybrid]]
* [[Impossibly Cool Weapon]]: The dragon-head gauntlets she wears look ''really freakin' cool'', but it'd make a lot more sense to wear something significantly smaller on your hands, or hold another weapon altogether.
* [[Instant Awesome Just Add Dragons]]: The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z66n3UYfPE4 Champion Spotlight] puts it best:
Line 420:
* [[Death of a Thousand Cuts]]: His poison. It doesn't deal a lot of damage, but it's surprisingly deceiving and by the time you've realised you've underestimated it, it'll eat away three quarters of your health and leave you screwed since if there's one thing Singed can do really well, it's stopping you from escaping and exposing you to more poison.
* [[Hope Spot]]: Very good at stopping enemies from running away. Those fleeing often find themselves slowed and then thrown to their deaths.
* [[Foe -Tossing Charge]]: In the form of flinging the enemy behind his back, where they are happily met and befriended by Singed's team.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Though pretty much [[Averted Trope|averted]] with personality connotations since he's not supernatural, he probably got that way from messing with many potions.
** [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]
Line 434:
* [[Schmuck Bait]]: Go on, chase Singed. He'll almost always be faster than you, but he'll turn back around eventually after you've obliviously dwindled away your health chasing him through his gas cloud and you're completely at his mercy.
* [[Shields Are Useless]]: He carries a shield around, but it does not offer any explicit defensive benefits.
** [[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]]:
{{quote| [[James Bond|Shaken, not stirred.]]<br />
Line 462:
* [[Crutch Character]]: As AP, He starts off very good, but falls off late game.
** [[Magikarp Power]]: As AD, however, he needs to farm to be of any use lategame, but becomes a true beast when fully built.
* [[FrankensteinsFrankenstein's Monster]]
* [[I Call It Vera]]: "Get on my Choppa!"
* [[Implacable Man]]: A fully leveled Sion is virtually impossible to kill and can take disgusting amounts of punishment thanks to Enrage's permanent health boosts, Cannibalism's sky-high lifesteal, and his natural bulk.
Line 497:
* [[Precision Guided Boomerang]]
* [[Private Military Contractors]]: Sivir's mercenary activities have made her one of the richest people in Valoran.
* [[PowerupPower-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 517:
* [[Death of a Thousand Cuts]]: His starting (and scaling) attack speed is pretty poor, and his ability power ratios aren't terribly high, but good luck dislodging him once he's started his work on somebody.
* [[Gaias Vengeance]]: His awakening onto the scene in Kalamanda bears more than a passing similarity to Maokai's explosive first appearance. His league judgment shows that his entire ''species'' origin is more similar than first apparent, too.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: Megatron has stood taller in days gone by, yesss...
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: One of his jokes.
{{quote| ''"Eeaugh! Bugs are gross! Ugh!"''}}
Line 597:
* [[The Medic]]: The most heal- and sustain-focused support champion in the game. (And if you think she's bad now, be aware that there have already been a number of [[Nerf|nerfs]] to her, like removing her ability to restore her own MP and doubling the cooldown of her heal.)
** [[Combat Medic]]: She deals considerable damage if built properly, and is much support-oriented now, using Starcall to weaken enemies and Astral Blessing to turn allies [[Immune to Bullets]] for five seconds.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Fell from grace to punish Warwick for his atrocities in the Noxus/Ionia war. She turned him into a vicious, deadly werewolf and [[Cursed With Awesome|he likes it that way]].
* [[Plant Person]]: Dryad Soraka
* [[Purple Eyes]]: Well, she was practically a goddess at one point anyway.
Line 604:
* [[Side Boob]]
* [[Squishy Wizard]]
* [[Stripperiffic]]: It's hard to tell with her basic skin because of her [[Green -Skinned Space Babe|bluish-purple skin]], but Soraka is half-naked. Her outfit is basically a narrow poncho with a belt and exposes her entire side. It's far more obvious with her Dryad skin.
** And the [http://leaguehq.org/p/sgallery/pics/yg6r57aklqo/soraka.jpg Chinese art].
* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]: Her standard skin.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: Her alternate skin.
** Apparently her original form (Divine skin) had blue hair.
