Garen fits lawful neutral better.
Lawful Neutral is called the "Judge" or "Disciplined" alignment. A Lawful Neutral character typically believes strongly in Lawful concepts such as honor, order, rules and tradition, and often follows a personal code. A Lawful Neutral society would typically enforce strict laws to maintain social order, and place a high value on traditions and historical precedent.
Garen's group has a "zero tolerance" moral code (strict laws), he believes the best way to kill someone is slicing through someone else, believes "the pursuit of a worthy opponent is the reason to rise each morning" and, to that end, goes out of his way to "encounter the Sinister Blade," rumors about him be damned.
Basically, he's acting primarily because of his beliefs / code, which fits Lawful Neutral like a glove.

I guess so. Who would really fit Lawful good then? I can't think of any other examples.

Isn't kayle an angel? Boom lawful good
|
Kogmaw should be chaotic evil "om nom nom nom nom, go around eat everything!"
Kassadin could prolly fit some where in the good category, either lawful or chaotic...
my 2cents

Yea I agree Garen is not good, he is killing people left and right and enjoys it COME ON

I can't believe the amount of work that has already gone into this thread.

I even find it to be a useful theoretical framework for describing and understanding people in real life, even if it's not exactly what Gary Gygax, Monte Cook and co. had in mind with the D&D Alignment system.
nice article, thx

Nasus looks much more like True Neutral (cycle of life etc). Same by design are all ninjas (although not all of them are lore-equipped well enough to suit the most difficult alignment), especially Shen.
League of Legends' environment typically doesn't allow much of Lawful Good alignments since the latter typicaly choose to restrain from violence, while the mere participation in the League demonstrates willingness for violence. I dunno, someone like Sona, Galio or Amumu might be considered Lawful Good to an extent.
Swain, LeBlanc and maybe Karthus apply for Lawful Evil. Vladimir might look so from the appearance and voicing (he is made to look and sound like a noble), but doesn't follow the alignment from his lore, being more a Chaotic Evil with his mindless desire for killing.

Nasus is acting as a protector / for the sake of mercy and against the evil 'others' that are trying to enslave his home people. He is not doing so because he's following laws, but rather because he's following his conscience (he was enraged at being pulled away before he could kill Renekton and deal a huge blow to the evil 'others,' but then changed his feelings after hearing the pleas of mercy).
He's Neutral Good.

Miss Fortune strikes me as Chaotic Neutral. She wants to make her village independent + hunt down and kill whoever killed her mother. She's also a bounty hunter.
---
I dunno how to classify Annie. The only relevant thing in her lore is that she's a "dark child." Everything else is just her origin story, but that has no information about her motives. She's also a child, and normally a child + lots of power isn't going to be righteous.
She's either True Neutral or Neutral Evil.
---
Ashe is a leader of her people and her motivation is to bring peace to her people. Chaotic Good, I guess. She's out for the 'greater good' of her people and peace is akin to freedom, so it seems the best match on limited information.
---
Blitzcrank is another champ with really limited lore. He's said to "have a heart of gold," and "humbly petitioned for autonomy" (rather an demanding it or just disregarding laws altogether). I don't know if he actually fits anywhere with what's given. He isn't true neutral because of the heart + lawfulness, but he doesn't seem to fit lawful good or neutral, either.

I'd say that makes him Lawful Good. He's actually brethren of those trying to enslave ordinary men (or that's the race the back-story implies) who he feels are more his people now that his own have turned their hearts. He's following what he believes good according to his morals, their society and his own purpose. This is proved again with his decision after his summoning by the League. Rather than answering to his immediate goal and fury, he calmed himself, stepped back and accepted their pleas.
He plays his sax for Good.

That's Neutral Good, not Lawful Good.
Neutral Good is known as the "Benefactor" alignment. A Neutral Good character is guided by his conscience and typically acts altruistically, without regard for or against Lawful precepts such as rules or tradition.
He's not doing something because its how it used to be or the law says it should be, he's doing something because his personal feelings say its the right thing to do.
|
Well, he was a "ruler and protector" of the people, as were others of his kind, who, it says, became deluded in their beliefs. Therefore, he's abiding to law and his position as a protector. He simply also follows such morals as his own, which he on and applied to the situation with the League summoners.
