League of Legends Champs That NFL Quarterbacks Main

League of Legends Champs That NFL Quarterbacks Main


SACRAMENTO -- The word of sports and esports merge closer and closer every day. The lines are blurred between raw physical prowess and practiced reflexive coordination. No other specialized athlete crosses this line more frequently than the NFL Quarterback. No game requires more toxic on-field energy than Riot Game's dying masterpiece: League of Legends.

Snap decision making? That is a Jungler in disguise. Laser accuracy? Brother, that is an ADC in action. Can't run for shit? Open your eyes, that is a Top Laner. A diva who complains incessantly about the ref's calls? Mid lane complaining about ganks, say less. The parallels are uncanny.

We'll link as many QBs to their respective mains as we can, completely unbiased to both Quarterback and champion.

Matthew Stafford; Miss Fortune

The GOAT is forever in the pocket, slingin' dick deep down field. We waffled on the Cait / MF pick but in the end it only lines up that Miss Fortunes back of the lane deep poke makes the most sense. Pair this with the proven late game decimation in tight formations and the stars line up a little too perfectly.

Aaron Rogers; Ashe

Rogers is the glass cannon personified, lines up perfectly with the squishy Ashe. When that cross map ult hits it hits hard but 98% of the time you look like a damn fool. Deeply injury prone and only good in some seasons, we commiserate with Rogers.

Ashe also is needle averse so it lines up.

Lamar Jackson; Kalista

Extremely mobile, dancing around the field, always on the move, setting records for rushing yards, Jackson lines up perfectly with Kalista. Pair that with his accuracy and it is simply a no-brainer that he mains this ADC.

Shedeur Sanders; Yunara

In the year 2026 of our Lord, Sanders is Yunara. Shedeur was pretty good when he was first introduced, a bit unbalanced, but quickly fell off. This happens with all new and hyped introductions though. Balance will be found in the long run, but for now hes fallen off a bit. Maybe he gets a rework in the off season.

Dak Prescott; Samira

Highly mobile? Check. Annoying if the matchup is right? Check.

Jameis Winston; Draven

Boom or bust. We're talking fest or famine. Final outcomes are highly dependent on the early game. However, that being said, when the dunk master pops off the game is decided.

Jared Goff; Shaco

Goff's mastery of the fakeout, the play action pass, and lack of deep range lines up well with Shaco. Limited mobility, timing based, and at times can be completely ignored. If me makes the right read its deadly but if action is happening halfway down the map then we're in trouble.

Justin Herbert; Taliah

Herbert is a well rounded QB. He can play back, has mobility, and can also go deeper when needed. Herbert is Taliah in her prime, throwing rocks and hitting the gas when needed.

Brock Purdy; Silas

Purdy shines as an adaptive player, taking on the persona that best fits the situation. He is a man of many skins, and that makes him the perfect Silas' ult stealing. Mobile when he needs to be, but has the ability to shape himself to the scenario at hand.

Joe Flacco; Galio

Built like a brick shit house that goes deep. Thick with two Cs, he'll come in out of nowhere (retirement) and fuck shit up. That being said he's also strong, breaking tackles left and right. Truly a force to be reckoned with.

Jordan Love; Xerath

Xerath lines up nearly perfectly with Love. Tight, localized lasers with that deep unforgiving ult. Hits you out of nowhere and leaves you saying "What the fuck was that". Love's caused broken remotes, Xerath has caused broken keyboards. Both caused by that devastating range when needed.

Jaxson Dart; Naafiri

The Giant's D-Line is reminiscent of Naafiri's bullshit Packmates. They'll keep you distracted as he goes for some other bullshit. Aggressive mobility, hard to hit, and dancing around the field like a shitty absolute. An absolute dog, which lines up with the Giant's record.

Kenny Pickett; Taric

Absolutely useless. Nothing else to say.
