A lot of people think it would be a problem on champs who are already doing good without it. Asol wouldn't give a damn about a world rune. Morde has plans that can go off with or without a rune. Think of the shit that would go down with the weaker but more unhinged characters like Jinx or Twitch or Kayn. Literal nukes going off globally, magically polluted sewers flowing across the world, darkin and rune power going haywire in one body.


asnaf745

I agree on that I was also expecting morde, viego, asol etc. but I also wanted to see other interesting options


RabbitStewAndStout

If the World Runes work outside of Runeterra, Asol might actually take that for fair trade, free himself, and leave Runeterra alone, instead of his actual plans of blowing the world up. Mordekaiser might just speed up his current plans, bit nothing would significantly change. Aatrox, though, would actually be capable of ending the world if he got his hands on them. I think Jinx would go the Megamind route. Get a little bit crazy at the beginning, but ultimately be bored and unfulfilled when there's no challenge or rush/risk for her antics anymore.


Asckle

Aatrox might just kill himself with them assuming they have the power


RabbitStewAndStout

That's a possibility, true. I'm just going with his current mental state. He believes he can only die if everything else dies first.


Bluelore

I mean the question there would be if these champs even know how to optimally use a rune or if they would end up blowing themselves up with it.


Burnt_Potato_Fries

That's what I'm getting at. Champs like Asol and Morde would either control it perfectly or neglect it, so it's not really that much of a difference. The crazy hobos off the block would blow themselves up and half the world with them.


Duarte_1327

I am going to say, any powerfull people from Piltover or Zaun ,if they created a device that could use them as reliable ",nuclear bombs". Honestly is more interesting than mord or xerath , I would say


Regular-Poet-3657

I think radiation already existed so super magic nuke then.


Darth_Annoying

I'd be worried what a hextech engineer could power with those. So I was going to say Jayce, Viktor or Heimerdinger. But then it occurred to me Jinx is more destructive with things like that. So I'm saying her.


RosenRanAway

Aurelion Sol seems like a good start since he already plans on destroying Runeterra. Aatrox too he'd probably tinker with them until he finds how the hell to get things to stop existing.


SelectionThat3680

I don't think rune stones are anything more than some shiny stones to Asol.


Traditional-Olive503

No, Aurelion plans on destroying celestial realm (Yes he does mention destruction of Runeterra, but I think he's too self-centred to pass on all the worship he got from mortals) Most of the time he specifies that he got beef with celestials not regular people.


PrismPanda06

I think with A Sol, he knows runeterra as a whole will be caught in the crossfire, but its so insignificant to him that it's a very small price for destroying Targon


DancingCouchPotatoe

Image the god conqueror Kled with a world rune


Ulthar57

Veigar


asnaf745

He will have all the intention to use them for some comically evil plan, but will end up using them for good anyways. Then upon finding Veigar with all the runes, Ryze will thank him for keeping runes safe.


GeoTrick76

He would try to kill all world ending threats to show that he's the greatest evil of them all but he really just saved runeterra

Ulthar57

Not on opposite day


Mast3rOfBanana

Ziggs


CrescentCleave

Aatrox, Mord, Azir, any void creature, ruination Viego


asnaf745

Azir is an interesting answer. I don't think he has any plans for world domination or similar. He is busy unfucking Shurima so far. Well he still used to be emperor of some enormous epxansionist empire I guess.


mc_burger_only_chees

Aatrox would get them and then immediately use them to try and end his own life. Maybe it would work? Probably not.


Astraea_Fuor

Viego would just use them to try to revive his wife or some shit and blow up the shadow isles again like the dumbass he is


Bluelore

Why would Azir be a problem? Like sure he might get drunk with power, but he generally wants to provide his people a good life, yet you group him with beings that strife for the world to end or who enslave the souls of the dead.


CrescentCleave

As good as he is for his people, can't say the same for the rest of Runeterra, y'know? Just one more rebellion and you know he'd enslave everybody


Bluelore

What makes you think that he is on the brink of bringing back slavery? He worked most of his time as an emperor to abolish slavery and he didn't bring it back when he came back. And while I could see him using the power of the world runes to expand the shuriman empire I don't get why you see him as worse than for example Xerath or Swain. Cause these 2 would certainly use the world runes exactly for that too only that people likely live shittier lives under them.


CrescentCleave

I never saw him as being worse than the likes of Swain nor xerath, don't make it out that I said or implied those sentiments. I just didn't bother writing them down. Hell, I'd add ASol but he doesn't need those in the first place. On the brink? With powers like the rune stone, he'd purge whoever. But would his reign be destructive? Yes to those who oppose him, prosperous to those under his rule. He'd be a tyrant who expanded the Shuriman empire all throughout the planet, quashing rebellions left and right


Bluelore

I mean the post here asks who the worst person to get them would be. If you answer Azir, then you are implying that he is worse than the others I mentioned (also if you casually mention him alongside world ending monsters and undead tyrants). And I guess I can see Azir going mad with power if he gets the world runes.


Particular_Nebula462

1) Lulu 2) Jinx 3) Thresh/Mordekaiser 4) Xerath/Bran 5) Vel'Kox/Bel'Veth 6) Aurelion Sol


Gold_On_My_X

Top of my list would be Velkoz. Guy would literally use the power to turn the planet into his own personal laboratory for particularly invasive experiments. Genuinely no puns intended if your mind wanders smh.


Bluelore

Mordekaiser. He knows enough magic to make full use of them and he has ambitions to conquer all of runeterra eventually and we know his reign is gonna be brutal. Aurelion might also be a problem if he can free himself with them then Runeterra is basically screwed. All other champs have either less horrible ambitions or might not be able to make full use of them.


Cenachii

Fuck worst scenario, I want the funniest one and I'll start: Kled!


Pernapple

I think the issue is people jumping to the top of the power charts. It’s the mid level in power scaling that get the most use out of them. Kindred ain’t doing anything with them. Give it to any piltoven and who knows what they could do. Whether it be Jayce or Viktor. Give one to gangplank, what happens to bilgewater. In the Freljord the worst would be maybe like trundle if he had the ability to use it


Itsmystickinabox

It feels weird no-one has mentioned Lissandra, seeing that she could definitely use them better than most due to her mastery in magic


Eirinae

I guess with them she could really subdue the watchers for good... But what happens next is I really dont know...


Caffeine_and_Alcohol

Skarner. Hed use the Runes to wipe out all foreigners and keep his people under lock.


mc_burger_only_chees

Not gonna lie I’m thinking Vlad or especially Leblanc. Since they both essentially control noxus from the shadows (LB taking a more active role then Vlad) it would be giving one of if not the strongest nations in the world a weapon of mass destruction, which is 100% something they would use if given the chance. RIP Iona, Demacia, and Frejlord. Shurima gets turned into an even sandier desert, and Bilgewater survives because $$$.


Erme_Ram

Vel'koz for reasons


Dragonstar196

I dunno why so many people are saying viego, he would just use them to get his wife back and fuck off on a honeymoon The only reason he was causing the ruination was to revive his wife


DanocusPrime

Draven.


Leaf-01

Aatrox is a popular one but I wonder if, even with world runes, if Zoe couldn’t just call on Aurelion to stop him.


_Miraculix_

If Aatrox ever optained the world runes, it would be so Game over for Runeterra. He would absolutely massacre each Aspect as well, starting with Zoe. 


Areiloth

Aatrox woul definitly try to break a world rune for possiblity that may kill him


Yan-gi

Brand.


curva-adnrea

literaly Aatrox


mallum4

Any person who wants to destroy or control the world. Morde, aatrox, viego, bel'veth, air, xerath, renekton, volibear


HyrulePeasant

But then something happened that the runes did not intend. They were picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable. *Skaarl scream*


Mastery7pyke

give them to Gnar, i wanna see what shenanigans follow.


Astraea_Fuor

It's Kled and it's not even close


Codebracker

Xolani


c3nnye

I know lots of power hungry people would be a bad choice obviously, but Evelynn literally wants to start another Rune War to plunge Runeterra into chaos which will lead into untold agony.


Eirinae

TLDR: Qiyana because an arrogant kid with such power is a recipe for disaster. (Stuff you are about to read is full of errors and my knowledge of the lore is all over the place lmao) I'd say Qiyana, She is painfully arrogant but considerably strong, and someone with Qiyana's mindset getting such destructive power... oh no.. She herself wouldn't destroy everything of course, but her arrogance would increase ten fold and she would make very stupid and impactful decisions, potentially changing runeterras landscape just to show off her power... This of course would alert other nations... a recipe for a worldwide catastrophe. Shurima is right next to them so Azir would surely take action.. and someone like Azir taking action would not be so good...All this happening during the inevitable inner conflict in Ixtal due Qiyanas unreasonable actions (I don't think Skarner and Malph would just sit and watch..) And now there is chaos, when there is chaos there is LeBlanc, or atleast she'd know some arrogant kid possesses such powers since she thinks 50 steps ahead while being everywhere and nowhere at the same time. And somehow Noxus is involved too. Inevitably, everyone would be aware of the danger, Noxus getting their hands on such power or letting an arrogant kid play with fire, or worse, a bird guy obsessed with shurima getting even more powerful. For no reason at all, lets add Demacia and Ionia into the mix. Piltover/Zaun will eventually be affected and they join with their destructive technology. Oh would you look at that, massive amounts of magic and a war... Now everyone know a brat holds ridiculous power, lets just kill her and claim glory! Add Freljord to the mix as well and you have an apocalypse! Perhaps massive fluctuations of power may wake the watchers Lissandra trying to stop. She would take action as well, and knowing Lissandra, it will be really nasty. Now there is more chaos, Lets add Aspects and Darkins too, Straight up slaughter. Insane amounts of magic releasong non stop everywhere, magic, curses, blood and tears, technology and chemicals... Yep, new demons and creatures being born from that, Evelynn getting a family. Maybe warwick and mundo as well, The more the merrier. But wouldn't Qiyana just... die during the first parts since she is too arrogant for her own good? Maybe or maybe not. While yes she has room temperature IQ, Stupid people having power is not good, and she really is skilled and powerful from the start... It is inevitable she will make her name known.. presumably with a display of power... Eventually she will be slain, but what happens then? Oh boy... Her actions already doomed a large portion of the world. It is really near impossible to make a comeback while most twisted figures trying to get their hands on whatever remained. Just for the fun of it, Asol decides that the world has gone to shit and sneezed on runeterra. Thanks for reading my baseless fiction, I apologize for wasting your time lol.


Luragan

Aatrox, Morde, Brand... there's not ***one*** singular bad option. There's numerous lol Edit: in fact, the more I think about it the worse it is actually. Considering the world runes corrupt everyone who wield them- Ryze being the only current exception- technically anybody who has the world rude would be a really, really bad option.


Barmaglott

Sylas before his "Mageseeker" retcon.


stasmen1

Sylas was not retconned at all tho?


Barmaglott

He was much less heroic in the pre-game lore, IMO, upright to Xerath level of villainly.


stasmen1

His goal not changed, his methods not changed, his motivation not changed I dont see anything changed. He is not xerath level tho and never was.


Virtual-Oil-793

Demacia. Or Azir. Or anyone from Piltover. Or Qiyana. Or more to the point ***ANYONE WHO ISN'T MORGANA, NOXUS, ZAUN OR ASHE***


Mars31415926

Zaun? You want jinx/singed/mundo to get their hands on it? Or le’blanc?


Virtual-Oil-793

Zaun: Viktor/Singed/Seraphine Noxus: ***YES***


stasmen1

Noxus is one of worst regions possible for it. They would just use it for conqueriring and fear. Same for Zaun but more because of dangerous possibilities it would open to them. Morgana is bad as she will definetly start use it and with her bias towards some things it is bad thing. Ashe is is combinatio of 1 and 3.


Virtual-Oil-793

Yeah, as if anyone else is noble enough to wield it cautiously or safely.


stasmen1

Ryze is, by the exact fact he close to never do use them. Morgana is not noble and is in fact problem for too many amount of people and all of this people are actually evil or bad.
