The champions ofLeague of Legendsall have interesting stories to tell that are often conveyed through their voice lines. You’ll know how the past influences the lines of each champion, especially when they encounter characters they share a history with.
Good world-building aside, champions tend to say a lot of interesting lines in battle. A lot of these lines are unnoticed since most of our focus is placed on killing more than one champion. Let’s step back from wanting to ace and take a look at all of these badass, funny, or otherwise profound in-game lines.
Updated on June 13, 2025, by Alfredo Robelo:League of Legends has as many memorable quotes as it has champions, and with an ever growing roster comes a constant influx of famous lines. We’ve updated this article to include a few more great quotes, as well as bringing it up to today’s standards as a whole.
20"I Am Not Your Enemy, I Am The Enemy!"
Aatrox
The Darkin are a particularly powerful species in the Runeterra lore, although their story tends to be rewritten every now and again. Still, they remain a force to be reckoned with, and Aatrox is the greatest example of their might, able to bend even the most powerful mortals to his will.
As such, Aatrox is not merely an antagonist in a singular story; he is as mighty as to be an overarching enemy in a multitude of plots. This, at least, is how he thinks of himself, hence why he claims to not be anyone’s particular enemy but everyone’s ultimate foe.
19"If You Want Me To Hit You Less, Die Sooner!"
Trundle
Trundle is not exactly a complex character, nor is he meant to be. The troll king of Freljord is a monster king ready to deliver punishment and enjoy doing it, transforming the terrain into his icy homeland so he can hit you repeatedly with his True Ice club, Boneshiver.
A big part of playing Trundle is how fast you can end up hitting people with the character, making various builds viable. As such, one of his possible taunts is both memorable and hilarious in its simplicity, asking enemies just to accept their fate if they wish to suffer less.
18"The Cycle Of Life And Death Continues. We Will Live, They Will Die."
Nasus
Some champions have their most iconic line spoken during a match, while others have it as soon as they are chosen. The latter is the case with Nasus, who has a phrase that tells you a lot about the character, not only his nature as an ascended being but also about the matter-of-fact view he has of his power.
Now, you could read the line as Nasus being full of himself, considering that his team will live while his opponents will die. And while that is a valid interpretation, the line actually goes deeper into his immortal status, in which case the ‘we’ can be interpreted to mean the ascended ones (Nasus, Renekton, Azir), while the ones that die are all the other mortal races.
17"Honor Is In The Heart, Not In The Name."
Yasuo
All of us who play League of Legends, even those who haven’t played Yasuo once on the field, know that he’s had a lot of experience behind that statement. Not only was he wrongfully accused of killing his master, but he was also forced to confront his brother. This confrontation resulted in his brother’s death, something which he had difficulty forgiving himself over for a long period of time.
Despite being seen by others as dishonored, he’s proven that their judgment of him doesn’t matter, as honor is based on how he chooses to live his life.
16"What Is Broken Can Be Reforged."
Riven
Riven’s story started with desperation, which her nation took advantage of. Once she realized that even her desperation shouldn’t have driven her to slaughter countless numbers of Ionians, she was consumed by regret and hatred for her sword. She sought to break the sword with the help of a master, and she was successful at it but at the cost of the master’s life.
She also mentions how the state of a blade reflects the state of its wielder, which suggests that if a blade is broken and can be reforged, then perhaps its master can heal from their wounds. It certainly seems to be the case for Riven, as she accepts her fate by returning to Noxus, which she deserted.
Katarina
This is true for those who are the life of the party but also true for anybody who craves excitement in life. Katarina’s definition of fun might be unusual, but that’s because she was raised to be the best assassin in Noxus, and her days were filled with strengthening herself. This came to the point of afflicting herself with all sorts of poison to increase her immunity.
When she says the highlighted quote, she may also be referencing how she failed her first mission, which made her fall from her father’s favor. Not all of us can relate to Katarina’s love for killing people while taking pleasure in it, but we all can agree that a little bit of fun isn’t a bad thing to have in life.
14"This World Is Changing… We Decide Into What."
Kai’sa
Kai’sa might look scary, but she’s one of the kindest champions you’ll meet on the battlefield simply because she loves to help people, even if they’re all afraid and disapproving of her. The Daughter of the Void knows all too well that the only way to survive is to keep fighting, and it is only through fighting that people can change the world how they want to.
We don’t have to fall into the void to know that we have the ability to create change in the world we live in, even if they’re small changes.
13"Her Eyes Were Portraits Of A World Without My Cruelty."
Viego
Most of his lines are dedicated to his lost queen, Isolde, and they’re all filled with tragic longing. His obsession with reviving his dead queen is the same in death as it was in life. He talks about committing all sorts of atrocities as long as it can reunite him with her once more.
We could only speculate what would’ve happened if they had forced this man to abdicate instead of accidentally killing his wife. A happy ending’s off the table for them now, but we can imagine how beautiful Isolde’s eyes must have been if Viego speaks of them this fondly.
12"Wear A Mask Long Enough, And You Forget The Face Beneath."
Yone
Yone wore many masks in life: student, brother, and protector, to name a few. He’s lost himself to these identities and awoke with an azakana’s mask glued to his face. Finally, having let go of his past life and the regret that came along with it, he now only searches for the truth of what he became after death.
His story is a good reminder to get to know yourself better outside the roles you play in other people’s lives.
11"A Clever Fox Is Never Caught."
Ahri
It’s a difficult task to catch this nine-tailed fox in-game since she has paralyzing range attacks, which proves that she’s indeed clever (if you know how to use her character). Her long life trained her to be that way, as well as being the last of her kind.
Ahri lived her life in relative stealth due to herpredatory nature, and nobody could ever get a hold of her. So if you plan to live as dangerously as she has for a long time, try not to get caught.
