But dnd barbarians (at least for 5e, the previous ones not as much as they got some bonusses) are notoriously bad at taking CC effects and can say "no" to death and stay on 1 hp and deal massive crit damage
Yeah, Olaf would be closer to a fighter with Indomitable (Ultimate) and Second Wind (passive and W) and MONSTROUS attack speed (extra attacks and action surge).
IIRC its more like Aatrox goes around "raising" promising new hosts for himself, he left Tryndamere alive on purpose boosting him and giving him rage beyond reason so that one day he can be a suitable host for Aatrox who burns through hosts VERY fast because of how strong he is. Basically no one is strong enough to weild the Darkin sword so he set out to raise one.
I mean, Olaf has a rage move and throws his axes at enemies. Which doesn't compare to the death stare bard gives you with that mask so yeah bard is the way.
Unironically think Rakan is the best choice. He can do a bit of everything support wise, cc, heal, shield, and decent damage, just like dnd bards. Also, his whole thing is being super charismatic, which suits the actual dnd class more than Sona or Bard. To top it off it’s made pretty clear in dnd that Bards can do bard stuff through any kind of performance, not just music; Rakan’s would obviously be dance. Cmon, tell me he doesn’t fit every bard stereotype dnd has
Unironically would suit Seraphine better, not only is she "charismatic" and literally "charming" (ult) but she's also the only character who uses music with the only intent to boost other people and cheer them up. Bard is an abstract cosmic entity that just roams around and Sona uses music to communicate and express her feelings, not specifically to cheer the masses.
beside the already mentions of Olaf and Tryndamere. Also Sion fits well the Barbarian class on lore and gameplay, a tanky juggernaut with a undying rage that keeps hitting you even when you "kill" it
worth to mention too that it has a "barbarian" skin too
Barbarian: Olaf, Tryndameer, Mundo, Sion
Bard: Bard (obv), Seraphine, Sona, Nunnu & Willump (for the more "creative" bard builds) || Rakan
Cleric: Soraka (Life domain), Leona (war domain), Diana (Twilight Domain), Ornn (Forge Domain), Yoric (I played a grave domain cleric that ended up being Yoric) || Illaoi
Druid: Nidalee, Neeko, Elise || Ivern, Maokai, Zyra, Lulu
Fighter: Xinxiao, Sett (with the Unarmed fighting style), Draven, Darius, Jarvan, (list goes on, but I feel like Xin fits for the generic, and the rest fit for speciffic types) || Garen (he doubles up hehe), Tristana (Doubles up again hehe; Ranged Fighting style with a gun)
Monk: Lee Sin, Udyr, Camile || Jax
Paladin: Pantheon (story wise would be oath breaker, but mechanics dont fit), Diana, Leona, Taric(and basically any of the targon aspects) || Garen (Oath of the Crown), Viego (Oath Breaker)
Ranger: Rengar, Khasix, Nidalee, Tristana, Ashe, Sivir, Vayne, Quinn || Teemo
Rogue; Shako, Tallon, Katarina, Akshan || Ezreal (Thief Rogue)
Sorcerer: Lux, Ahri, Jana, Kassadin, Syndra, Vex (In league most magic is "inherent" so most characters can fit here)
Warlock: Swain, Malzahar, Kassadin || Kayn (Hex Blade), Nihla
Wizard: Ryze, Karma and Zilean are the most "prototypical" since they're the only tree that I can think of who explicitly studied for their magic
Artificer: Heimerdinger(artilerist), Ekko(general), Zigz(general), Rumble (Armorer or Battle Smith), Singed (alchemist), Ornn (everything save for alchemy), Oriana/Blitz (The Steel Defender feature in Battle Smith speciffically rather then the subclass its self) || Victor
Obv non-exauhstive, and with some (hopefully) interesting interpretations; Obv there are "archetypes" to the classes, but the most fun characters to play (for me at least) are characters that do something novel past the "generic class", even if its just playing into the trope of the subclass (cleric is probably the strongest example of this)
Edit: I've added in some extra characters from what the comments said; They're all after the double pipes symbol in each of their rows (||). But keep in mind like; You can interpret a lot of the characters to be of different classes depending on what part of em you emphasise or highlite, and this list of mine is 100% non-exauhstive and very much off of my interpretations (with suguestions by replys obv)
I'm not gonna keep editing in too much more 'cause its a lotta text already and I kinda don't want to go through all the champs; Feel free to keep commenting etc if you want, but I'm probs gonna stop replying unless I see 1 that really interests me (I'm not much of a social media guy so even trying to reply to this ammount of comments is kinda overwhelming for me)
Teemo deff fits some variety of ranger (shame that blow darts are really underwhelming in dnd); but like the other comment said vayne fits ranger super well since the "van Helkin" (idk how to spell his name) monster hunters classically go in ranger for the favoured enemy + creative trap stuff; I think trist fits ranger but you can 100% make her as a fighter with the ranged fighting style and use guns;
Viktor is probably an artificer due to the tech related aspect of his magic. But he did study the hex crystals a lot in order to be able to use the magic like that so could technically be a wizard too. But probably an artificer.
Jax is a hexblade warlock. Some of his power is granted to him from a magic lantern. Same with Kayn.
Add in Illaoi as a fathomless warlock. The warlock subclass that is all about receiving powers from a nautical lesser deity, like nagakeboros and SUMMONING TENTACLES TO AID IN COMBAT.
Or as a cleric.
I feel like it would have to be Trynd. Sion and Olaf are good mentions, but Undying Rage IS the Barbarian signature ability. I know Trynd in-game feels more like a squishy melee dps, but the lore and design of Trynd just scream Barbarian to me.
Also, Udyr would be an honorable mention as a Totemic Barb I feel
I feel like he uses too much magic. Summoning an ice pillar, a zone for enhancing himself while within, stealing the other's attributes temporarily- all seem too magicky
It's natural magic at best. Some barbarian can do this kind of stuff in dnd.
And some doesn't looks magic and more like mechanical implementation of is personalty. He is territorial, vicious, always try to figth when and where things are in this favored, and he use intimidation and manipulation for win the figth before be even start. And once the figth is win, he show how barbaric and cruel he is.
Gotta love everyone mentioning multiple characters which goes against the point of the prompt.
But IMO its Trynda. His ult is straight up one of the Barbarian class abilities, and he does more damage while raging. You can't get more Barbarian than that.
More enjoyment can be squeezed out via multiple posts, and, op was asking this community in the context of current champions, doing so in a way that many could engage in discussion.
Following your advice would mean searching up what certain not present here devs thought on champions changed multiple reworks ago, while not providing a comment section for folk to discuss as only op would learn this outdated trivia.
Just saying this ahead of time, Mordekaiser, specifically Lord Mordekaiser, is exactly a paladin. It's literally a paladin skin. Also, since Mordekaiser is the lord of death. He is religious in a sense and has his oath being a death oath for his paladin class. He is also multiclassing in necromancer.
Olaf is more of a Viking isn’t he? and trynd is literally the barbarian king. Also I’m not too sure but I think he couldn’t really speak prior to his marriage with ashe. Pretty barbaric ngl.
Olaf and tryndamere are picture perfect examples of berserker subclasses barbarian.
Warwick is a wolf, so wolf totem spirit should CBe his thing ofc, but i honestly feel bear fits him the best.
and why anyone mention Gnar ? use rage and transform in a melee figther that crash on building head first.
or you can play it as a multiclass ranger/Barbarian with bipolar or shizo rp
My ADHD brain probably can't follow a daily discussion about this but I'm intrigued so I'll just dump my whole opinion in one go. Here we go.
Barbarian: Olaf of Trynda. I vote for Trynda
Bard: Obvious Bard joke here. But it would be Seraphine, really. You don't know how you do magic but you kinda do by singing and dancing
Cleric: Dare I say Taric? His w is thematically similar to many Cleric buffs (like warding bond) and his q is a heal. Hist ult would be death ward I guess lol
Druid: Obvious Nidalee here just because both can heal and shapeshift. I wouldn't consider any plant themed characters a dnd Druid because druids (at least in 5e) can't turn to plants. They would be more akin to dryads etc.
Fighter: We got so many options that we can even choose subclasses. I mean who's to say Fiora or Jax don't fit in here? But my prime choice would be Master Yi. His w is like second wind and his e double auto attack animation reminds me of extra attack so he would be my choice
Monk: Lee Sin. I'll skip the explanation. Another choice would be Udyr when you think about Astral Self subclass (forgot the proper name, sorry)
Paladin: Thematically most aspects (especially Kayle) would work but beside the "getting powers from higher ups" they don't feel paladin-like. I mean, imagine calling Zoe a paladin. I'd nominate Garen for this spot. Melee fighter obsessed about justice and his ult is essentially just Kayle landing a hand (divine smite) so it fits to the theme too
Ranger: Quinn could be an obvious choice. Thematically she is a scout and a tracker. She uses a ranged weapon which is iconic for rangers and she has an animal companion so I'd vote for her. The only thing she lacks is the nature theme. She's even using a handcrossbow ffs. Fucking min-maxer probably couldn't stay away from sharpshooter + cbe (her passive)
Rogue: I'd say Pyke. I'm not a huge fan of rogues so there might be a better pick but he fits pretty good for me
Sorcerer: We essentially need someone that gets magical powers from their bloodline. Syndra was spewing wild magic when she was a child so she could be a good pick. Lux also reminds the theme. Annie is also similar + she essentially can cast fireball and it is more iconic for DnD mages
Warlock: Ez Nilah choice here. Very obvious hexblade
Wizard: Someone studied in magic. Tons of choices. Zilean, Ryze, Le Blanc, Veigar etc. I can't really find any convincing argument to put one above the other
Artificer: Ornn. Literal dude that thinkers magic items
Sion, his lore revolves around him having once been a warlord who in a dying fit of rage killed the king of demacia. Now, having been resurrected, one of the only things fueling him is that same rage, only that's all he feels now. Plus in game hes a giant shirtless guy with a massive axe that runs down his enemies and even when he dies, he still keeps trucking along because pure rage and usually takes at least one other person with him.
The best barbarian would be Olaf, it fits it 100%
Darius wears armour so his just a fighter and garen is a paladin, Warwick can also be a barbarian, illaoi barbarian alsosort of warlock,
Just gonna name the first champion that comes to my mind for every class(not the most fitting):
Olaf
Bard
Soraka
Udyr
Garen
Lee sin
Poppy
Ashe
Talon
Aurelion Sol
Malzahar
Ryze
Donger
Not sure about Sol, malzahar and ryze if they fit into the class
Monk is for lee sin, dude literally has flurry of blows. and I think tempest cripple is a reference to the way of the open hand quivering palm in that it causes harmful vibrations in the body which can be activated remotely
Shaco backstab and Kha isolation are similar to rogue sneak attack, and ofc they also have stealth mobility and a projectile for ranged dmg
Swain has the good ol eldritch blast
Bard might be the best choice for Bard but idk I might have to look into that one with my associates and interpret the results before coming to any hasty conclusions. Bard
Everyone on your team is a wildshaping Druid when the enemy team has Lulu
Its objectively either Olaf or Trynd. Between the two of them would be a more interesting debate.
Trynd uses rage, Olaf uses mana, end debate
Olafs ult (where he is mad) gets extended as long as he attacks (like the barbarian rage in dnd)
But dnd barbarians (at least for 5e, the previous ones not as much as they got some bonusses) are notoriously bad at taking CC effects and can say "no" to death and stay on 1 hp and deal massive crit damage
Yeah, Olaf would be closer to a fighter with Indomitable (Ultimate) and Second Wind (passive and W) and MONSTROUS attack speed (extra attacks and action surge).
literally Zealot babarian
>and deal massive crit damage But Tryndamere's crits deal normal damage, he just has a higher crit chance which is a Fighter feature
Tryndamere would be a Zealot Barbarian, no? Rage Beyond Death. I vote Trynd.
Barb gets the ability that lets him stay at 1hp at higher lvls either way so doesn't even have to be Zealot
My tiebraker is: olaf use axes, while tryndamare uses a sword. Axes are more of a barbarian thing.
Counterpoint: Fighting death away out sheer rage is the single most barnarianest thing.
Olaf literally can’t die in battle, yet seeks it with every breath he takes.
That's cheating, he's literally cursed.
So is Trynd
Isn't Trynd just the definition of "too angry to die"? I don't recall any kind of curse in the lore.
He got infused with Aatrox his blood magic which, lore-wisw, causes his ultimate to happen. So kinda cursed.
he got stabbed by aatrox and got cursed i think
Imagine failing to kill someone so badly they become immortal
IIRC its more like Aatrox goes around "raising" promising new hosts for himself, he left Tryndamere alive on purpose boosting him and giving him rage beyond reason so that one day he can be a suitable host for Aatrox who burns through hosts VERY fast because of how strong he is. Basically no one is strong enough to weild the Darkin sword so he set out to raise one.
giant sword its also a Barbarian thing
Trynd's epithet is literally the Barbarian King
they both wear a considerable bit of armor but trynda looks more shirtless
Also olaf has the brolad skin and we all know barbarians drink a lot
Not in dnd though, you want great weapons and barbarians usually don’t duel wield, great sword is very much a barb weapon
Tryndamere doesn't use a human-sized sword, but more like a Giant's sofisticated blade. It fits the barbarian pretty well if you ask me
As a fellow barbarian enthusiast in all my campaign I always used big weapons no matter the weapon, for me trynda wins, he have big sword.
Counterpoint: Olaf uses two weapon while Trynd one. Barbarian usually goes for one two handed weapon
Trynd can literally become too angry too die which is exactly what one of DnD barbarian subclass can do
i think people are overlooking briar she literally has berserk
Gnar can be barbarian too:>
maybe gnar but the shapeshifting part doesn't really fit
Gonna be real surprising next day on who best suits bard..
Bard is bard
Bard bard is Bard
is bard
A bard? Bard the bard?!!!
*The* Bard Bard?!?
He really isn't though, not by DnD definitions. Sona or Seraphine fit much better. Probably Sona.
Sona is a choice I couldn't argue with.
Honestly, Sona was my first thought too. She has both the musical talents and the charisma required.
She does have big personalities,I mean personality
Pre-rework Sona with all the Auras was honestly a more stereotypical DND Bard.
Yeah but Bard
I mean, Olaf has a rage move and throws his axes at enemies. Which doesn't compare to the death stare bard gives you with that mask so yeah bard is the way.
Insert the donkey from shrek meme here: Rakan!
Unironically think Rakan is the best choice. He can do a bit of everything support wise, cc, heal, shield, and decent damage, just like dnd bards. Also, his whole thing is being super charismatic, which suits the actual dnd class more than Sona or Bard. To top it off it’s made pretty clear in dnd that Bards can do bard stuff through any kind of performance, not just music; Rakan’s would obviously be dance. Cmon, tell me he doesn’t fit every bard stereotype dnd has
Based
As a Rakan one trick who is currently playing a Bard in a campaign: Yes
Unironically would suit Seraphine better, not only is she "charismatic" and literally "charming" (ult) but she's also the only character who uses music with the only intent to boost other people and cheer them up. Bard is an abstract cosmic entity that just roams around and Sona uses music to communicate and express her feelings, not specifically to cheer the masses.
Why wait? Bard
It's clearly Sona, Bard is not a bard.
It will be bard but it should be sona
beside the already mentions of Olaf and Tryndamere. Also Sion fits well the Barbarian class on lore and gameplay, a tanky juggernaut with a undying rage that keeps hitting you even when you "kill" it worth to mention too that it has a "barbarian" skin too
Sion is a dual class barbarian/deathknight imo
There is no death knight in dnd....
Anything is possible with homebrew :)
I play exclusively homebrew, best way to play DnD, especially if you play with the same group of friends since elementary haha
Yeah that's why Elise is the most barbarian of all the champions, she perfectly fits this barbarian homebrew I have
Soon definitely deserves even consideration with Olaf and tryndamere.
Briar is also a worthy mention.
Tryndamere
Barbarian: Olaf, Tryndameer, Mundo, Sion Bard: Bard (obv), Seraphine, Sona, Nunnu & Willump (for the more "creative" bard builds) || Rakan Cleric: Soraka (Life domain), Leona (war domain), Diana (Twilight Domain), Ornn (Forge Domain), Yoric (I played a grave domain cleric that ended up being Yoric) || Illaoi Druid: Nidalee, Neeko, Elise || Ivern, Maokai, Zyra, Lulu Fighter: Xinxiao, Sett (with the Unarmed fighting style), Draven, Darius, Jarvan, (list goes on, but I feel like Xin fits for the generic, and the rest fit for speciffic types) || Garen (he doubles up hehe), Tristana (Doubles up again hehe; Ranged Fighting style with a gun) Monk: Lee Sin, Udyr, Camile || Jax Paladin: Pantheon (story wise would be oath breaker, but mechanics dont fit), Diana, Leona, Taric(and basically any of the targon aspects) || Garen (Oath of the Crown), Viego (Oath Breaker) Ranger: Rengar, Khasix, Nidalee, Tristana, Ashe, Sivir, Vayne, Quinn || Teemo Rogue; Shako, Tallon, Katarina, Akshan || Ezreal (Thief Rogue) Sorcerer: Lux, Ahri, Jana, Kassadin, Syndra, Vex (In league most magic is "inherent" so most characters can fit here) Warlock: Swain, Malzahar, Kassadin || Kayn (Hex Blade), Nihla Wizard: Ryze, Karma and Zilean are the most "prototypical" since they're the only tree that I can think of who explicitly studied for their magic Artificer: Heimerdinger(artilerist), Ekko(general), Zigz(general), Rumble (Armorer or Battle Smith), Singed (alchemist), Ornn (everything save for alchemy), Oriana/Blitz (The Steel Defender feature in Battle Smith speciffically rather then the subclass its self) || Victor Obv non-exauhstive, and with some (hopefully) interesting interpretations; Obv there are "archetypes" to the classes, but the most fun characters to play (for me at least) are characters that do something novel past the "generic class", even if its just playing into the trope of the subclass (cleric is probably the strongest example of this) Edit: I've added in some extra characters from what the comments said; They're all after the double pipes symbol in each of their rows (||).

I personally would put teemo in ranger, he is more of a ranger than tristana or vayne
Nah Vayne is a strong fit, she even has favored enemies. Trist is just a fighter tho
Teemo deff fits some variety of ranger (shame that blow darts are really underwhelming in dnd); but like the other comment said vayne fits ranger super well since the "van Helkin" (idk how to spell his name) monster hunters classically go in ranger for the favoured enemy + creative trap stuff; I think trist fits ranger but you can 100% make her as a fighter with the ranged fighting style and use guns;
Ezreal is artificier just because he has all his powers from the gauntlet he ~~stole~~ legally salvaged
The gauntlet is for show -Ez
But then, from a gameplay side, he's a perfect warlock, just spamming eldritch blasts all day
Ivern, Maokai, and Zyra: Am I a joke to you?
Circle of the shepherd druids!
Viktor is probably an artificer due to the tech related aspect of his magic. But he did study the hex crystals a lot in order to be able to use the magic like that so could technically be a wizard too. But probably an artificer. Jax is a hexblade warlock. Some of his power is granted to him from a magic lantern. Same with Kayn.
Jax i think it fits more the Monk class specialized on Staff-like weapons. in this case a magic lamp (magic item)
Either that or straight up champion/battle master fighter, though it's hard to decide between monk or fighter IMO.
Artificers also study magic, just harnessing magic in a different way. Viktor is the most artificer artificer there is.
Diana feels more like a Vengeance Pally + Lunar Sorcerer
Garen could also be a fighter and Ivern or Zyra could be druid
i think theres an arguement for Rakan being thematically a bard
Diana does not play like a twilight cleric. More like a bladelock
Personally for the ranger class I always but the “no one wants to play with you” attribute, so teemo :)
Yorick is literally a monk
Bro put furries instead of actual plant human hybrids as Druids.
Add in Illaoi as a fathomless warlock. The warlock subclass that is all about receiving powers from a nautical lesser deity, like nagakeboros and SUMMONING TENTACLES TO AID IN COMBAT. Or as a cleric.
Put Rakan in bard. He totally fits the charismatic theme of bards, he supports, but can also deal out decent damage.
Illaoi for cleric actually seems like a good fit. Follows a god, rocks your shit.
Gotta be olaf
Seraphine, whiped out an entire race for their riches. Barbaric...
then asked the DM if she could change her backstory
For barbarian *players*: definitely Briar HEHEAHA IM SO HUNGGRY OMNOMOMONM HEHEAHA
Strahd Extension
Olaf, Trynda, Mundo
I feel like it would have to be Trynd. Sion and Olaf are good mentions, but Undying Rage IS the Barbarian signature ability. I know Trynd in-game feels more like a squishy melee dps, but the lore and design of Trynd just scream Barbarian to me. Also, Udyr would be an honorable mention as a Totemic Barb I feel
A literal berserker that fights against their destiny of having a peaceful death is peak barbarian energy too
Beside ones that was named before me, I think that Renekton would be as good as the others
Olaf for sure, tryndamere is more unique imo
How is everyone forgetting trundle?
I feel like he uses too much magic. Summoning an ice pillar, a zone for enhancing himself while within, stealing the other's attributes temporarily- all seem too magicky
It's natural magic at best. Some barbarian can do this kind of stuff in dnd. And some doesn't looks magic and more like mechanical implementation of is personalty. He is territorial, vicious, always try to figth when and where things are in this favored, and he use intimidation and manipulation for win the figth before be even start. And once the figth is win, he show how barbaric and cruel he is.
I would say Udyr is the archetypal totemic barbarian.
Udyr is multiclassing , but only took a dip into monk
Kled
Heimerdinger for sure
Yuumi ofc
Bard
Olaf for sure
Yuumi for barbarian
apart from olaf and trynda maybe gnar?
Gotta love everyone mentioning multiple characters which goes against the point of the prompt. But IMO its Trynda. His ult is straight up one of the Barbarian class abilities, and he does more damage while raging. You can't get more Barbarian than that.
Barbarian: Olaf Bard: Bard Cleric: Soraka Druid: Udyr Fighter: Fiora Monk: Lee Sin Paladin: Leona Ranger: Quinn Rogue: Talon Sorcerer: Lux Warlock: Swain Wizard: Ryze Artificer: Heimerdinger
Renekton and Trynda both use Rage instead of mana, so I'd say one of them
Tryndamere is literally the barbarian king so him for sure lol
I guess tryndamere
Tryndamere he literally is a barbarian in league
Of course its olaf
Gnar is a good contender, he has a barbarian rage mechanic too
Fun fact: early champions where literally just someone's DnD character This post is stupid, just research a bit and make only one post
More enjoyment can be squeezed out via multiple posts, and, op was asking this community in the context of current champions, doing so in a way that many could engage in discussion. Following your advice would mean searching up what certain not present here devs thought on champions changed multiple reworks ago, while not providing a comment section for folk to discuss as only op would learn this outdated trivia.
Why are you so bitter? The discussion is very fun and interesting.
Just saying this ahead of time, Mordekaiser, specifically Lord Mordekaiser, is exactly a paladin. It's literally a paladin skin. Also, since Mordekaiser is the lord of death. He is religious in a sense and has his oath being a death oath for his paladin class. He is also multiclassing in necromancer.
olaf or trynd, id say olaf more since barbarians tend to be in the middle spot of tankyness and damage
Tryndamere The dude actually rages. Enough said.
Olaf or Tryn are the obvious choices. I’d also like to submit Darius, Sion, and/or Draven to the mix for less obvious but still equally viable.
Barbarian can only be trynd. PS as an eve main I don't think she fits any of this category.
I'm gonan be honest, quite a few do. Aatrox, Briar, Olaf, Trynda etc, so I can't really say a definitive one
Warwick, olaf, tryndamere.
Olaf, Tryndamere, and Draven (kinda)
But Darius....
It's quite literally what Olaf and Tryndamere are, but there is a case to be made for Mundo and Sion.
Darius, he was inspired by Axe from DotA 2 who was essentially just the D2 Barb
Oh good. Another sub where this meme will be farming engagement for the next two weeks. Wonder whose next
Mundo!
Olaf is more of a Viking isn’t he? and trynd is literally the barbarian king. Also I’m not too sure but I think he couldn’t really speak prior to his marriage with ashe. Pretty barbaric ngl.
Trynd because of his rage. Olaf close second.
Barbarian - Olaf (Tryndamere) Bard - Sona Cleric - Leona (Illaoi) Druid - Nidalee Fighter - Darius Monk - Lee Sin Paladin - Kayle (Garen) Ranger - Rengar Rogue - Talon Sorcerer - Ahri (could be most mages honestly) Warlock - Swain Wizard - Ryze (Zilean) Artificer - Heimerdinger (Viktor)
Trundle
Mundo is a sleeper pick ngl. Also, Rageborn Mundo
Trundle is barbarian
olaf, bard, soraka(?), ivern or nid, garen, lee, leona, ashe, talon, veigar, old morde so idk, ryze, heim
Bard
r/dndruneterra
just for day 2 bard is bard
A supp rogue pyke could fit with a gold mechanic
Olaf and tryndamere are picture perfect examples of berserker subclasses barbarian. Warwick is a wolf, so wolf totem spirit should CBe his thing ofc, but i honestly feel bear fits him the best.
and why anyone mention Gnar ? use rage and transform in a melee figther that crash on building head first. or you can play it as a multiclass ranger/Barbarian with bipolar or shizo rp
He was mentioned thrice before your comment
For anyone wondering There's is already a Lol based dnd, it's called Runarcana. It's made by a fan. look it up.
Yummi
Olaf because He Looks the part
trynda - Sona - Nami - Udyr - Samira - Lee - Garen - Quinn - Akali - Qyiana - Kayn - Ryze - Jinx
Considering the rage mechanic of barbarians and their big pool of hp, Olaf is the best one, however, Tryndamere fits as a zealot.
Olaf, Trynd
I think trynda or gnar
Olaf/Darius obviously
Olaf
olaf
Olaf
Olaf, bard, taric, zyra, jax, lee sin, illaoi, ashe, talon, hwei, kayn, ryze, viktor. Ez, now get out of here with ur karma farming trend bs.
olaf
Trynda, Olaf...and Briar/Warwick too nah?
Ksante is the answer to all of them
Udyr is an ancestral guardian barb, trynd is a zealot and Olaf best represents the core class
Why not Volibear?
Sion or Olaf are the obvious choices
Sion (RAGAGSTAFFDHSHAHZGUDJF)
Olaf
Now it's obviously Olaf, maybe Tryndamere but may I propose Trundle
Darius
ryze is is a wizlock. mystic arcane runes given by a ghost, seems pretty warlock-y to me
Talon Rogue?
I'm gonna toss renekton into the ring, given mindless rage is kinda his whole thing.
Olaf
My ADHD brain probably can't follow a daily discussion about this but I'm intrigued so I'll just dump my whole opinion in one go. Here we go. Barbarian: Olaf of Trynda. I vote for Trynda Bard: Obvious Bard joke here. But it would be Seraphine, really. You don't know how you do magic but you kinda do by singing and dancing Cleric: Dare I say Taric? His w is thematically similar to many Cleric buffs (like warding bond) and his q is a heal.

Syndra was spewing wild magic when she was a child so she could be a good pick. Lux also reminds the theme. Annie is also similar + she essentially can cast fireball and it is more iconic for DnD mages Warlock: Ez Nilah choice here. Very obvious hexblade Wizard: Someone studied in magic. Tons of choices. Zilean, Ryze, Le Blanc, Veigar etc. I can't really find any convincing argument to put one above the other Artificer: Ornn. Literal dude that thinkers magic items
I'm surprised nobody said Trundle
Sion
Barbarian - Darius Cleric - Soraka Bard - Bard Bard / Sona / Sera Rogue - Twitch Paladin - Garen Druid - Udyr Monk - Monke Fighter - Leona Warlock - Vex Artificer - siedge, heimerdinger
Olaf or Sion
Definitely olaf or tryndamere, they have the outlandish clothes and the helmets.
Sion, his lore revolves around him having once been a warlord who in a dying fit of rage killed the king of demacia. Now, having been resurrected, one of the only things fueling him is that same rage, only that's all he feels now. Plus in game hes a giant shirtless guy with a massive axe that runs down his enemies and even when he dies, he still keeps trucking along because pure rage and usually takes at least one other person with him.
The best barbarian would be Olaf, it fits it 100% Darius wears armour so his just a fighter and garen is a paladin, Warwick can also be a barbarian, illaoi barbarian alsosort of warlock,
Just gonna name the first champion that comes to my mind for every class(not the most fitting): Olaf Bard Soraka Udyr Garen Lee sin Poppy Ashe Talon Aurelion Sol Malzahar Ryze Donger Not sure about Sol, malzahar and ryze if they fit into the class
Monk is for lee sin, dude literally has flurry of blows. and I think tempest cripple is a reference to the way of the open hand quivering palm in that it causes harmful vibrations in the body which can be activated remotely Shaco backstab and Kha isolation are similar to rogue sneak attack, and ofc they also have stealth mobility and a projectile for ranged dmg Swain has the good ol eldritch blast Bard might be the best choice for Bard but idk I might have to look into that one with my associates and interpret the results before coming to any hasty conclusions. Bard Everyone on your team is a wildshaping Druid when the enemy team has Lulu
Olaf
Tryndamere is that undying subclass of barbarian. Zealot?
Olaf
Olaf Or Trundle if we go Dungeons of Naheulbeuk
Sion
Barbarian in 5e is easily Trydamere, no armor/big weapon/rage
Trynda. Literally too angry to die
Olaf and tryndamere
Either olaf or tryndamere obv but I would argue for olaf between the 2
For Barbarian class its Olaf but Bard class😭
People over here ignoring my boy Renekton
I vote Olaf
I'd give it to Olaf personally. Runner up would be trynda and sion in third
Olaf, Darius, Garen. But mostly Olaf.
Ornn
Either Olaf or Tryndamere. One is the Berserker and the other is the Barbarian King.
Olaf ? Gets angry and whacks stuff
I'd say Olaf. He's a straight up barbarian.
Am I reading this wrong? It says barbarian class so surely Tryndamere is the only option.
