In our newest edition of Weird Wednesday, we ask the pressing question: which League of Legends champ stinks…literally?

Welcome to our latest installment of Weird Wednesday, the series where we ask our writers and readers the questions about League of Legends that others dare not ask. Or, you know, haven’t ever considered.

This week, the question is about hygiene in League of Legends. Namely, which champions have the worst personal hygiene. According to our fellow writers and our wonderful readers – who responded on Twitter and Facebook – these are the champions that will make you gag and hold your breath if you were forced to sit next to them on the bus.

"It’s gotta be Sion for me. I mean, he’s literally an undead juggernaut and zombies don’t have the reputation for being the best-smelling creatures. Even if he wasn’t just a zombie, he’s also a big and bulky guy who runs really fast. That’s gonna build up a bunch of sweat."

"It’s got to be Tahm Kench. First of all, he’s a huge catfish, which is smelly enough on its own. Add that to the fact that he’s spent his many years in Runeterra traversing the swamps and waterways of Bilgewater and you’ve got one awful scent that surely tops any other champion the League of Legends has to offer.If you’re turning your nose up at the prospect of the River King winning solely on the basis of his body odour, then surely the stench of his breath is enough to convince you. Tahm Kench’s weapon is his mouth, tongue, and teeth, there is no telling what’s been in those jaws throughout his endless lifespan. And unless XXL toothbrushes are on sale in Runeterra, you can bet that his mouth has gone quite some time without a clean."

Ben Holsgrove

Gotta admit, Ben might have me convinced. I think Kench could chug a gallon of Listerine and I still wouldn’t want to burp within a mile of me.

His joke line is “what’s that smell? Oh, it’s me!” So I mean, I guess it’s confirmed from the mouth of the rat himself.

Next. The roster change C9 needs to make soon. dark
