(Moved Trivia tropes to its respectable page.)
Line 79:
** Of course, some champions play this trope perfectly straight (at least when they get well-farmed) like Olaf and Tryndamere, capable of simply ripping into the enemy team and slaughtering everything within reach of their blades.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Barbarians and Noxians.
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: "Snowballing" items like Mejai's Soulstealer, Sword of the Occult, and Leviathan. Nothing says "Focus me" more than having stacks.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Played literally with Dr. Mundo, Sion, and Olaf, all three of which wield axes, have abilities that hurt themselves in the process of hurting the enemy, and are designed to charge straight into a fight.
** Olaf especially was designed to be an "Ax wielding maniac".
Line 122 ⟶ 123:
** Jarvan has a spell that summons an actual shield (as in the kite-shaped object) in a transparent hexagonal shape.
** Poppy's ultimate puts a miniature barrier around her.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Mistakenly calling Ahri a Naruto clone simply because she's a nine-tailed fox is a sure way to stir up chaos in forums, usually followed by a (relatively) short lesson on Asian mythology and how [[Older Than They Think|nine-tailed foxes came long before Naruto]].
** Even though her artwork shows her handling a spin ball similiar to one of Naruto's main attacks...
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: All Yordles except Veigar, who is a megalomaniac, and Rumble, the Yordle equivalent of a mad scientist in a mech with tasers and flamethrowers.
** Especially scary with Teemo. It's heavily implied that the constant use of his abilities for assassinations, as well as the isolation he suffers, is slowly driving him insane, which gives nightmare fuel when you look at the constant smile he always wears. He's starting to crack, and it won't be too long until he uses his poison outside of the League.
Line 194 ⟶ 197:
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: The item Phage, which can be later upgraded to the bigger hammers Frozen Mallet or Entropy.
** Taric and Poppy both use hammers, as does Sion while using his Hextech Sion skin.
* [[Dueling Games]]: With ''[[Demigod]]'', ''[[Heroes of Newerth]]'', and, of course, ''[[Defense of the Ancients]]''. ''[[Heroes of Newerth]]'' unquestionably the most.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: There are a few here and there. Cho'Gath and Kog'Maw are monsters from the Void (which is apparently filled with such creatures), Fiddlesticks is an extraplanar horror who killed the guy who was stupid enough to summon him, and Nocturne is a dream-born monster who hunted and killed Summoners in their sleep until he was dragged into this world. Xerath also borders on this, considering that he's become entirely inhuman in almost every way, including personality, and is absurdly powerful even by the standards of the League.
** Jax may be an example of this. While he appears to be human, it is not known where he came from. What is known, however, is that when he joined the League, he got so many consecutive wins that they forced him to use a LAMPPOST instead of a real weapon. The worst part is that it apparently didn't affect his chances at all, so the requirement was rescinded while he kept using the lamppost.
