Love is in the air, and what better way to celebrate the occasion than to play League of Legends! Right? No? Shut up, I know you want to. Of course, you two sweethearts don't want to make this just like any other duo queue game, correct? Maybe you're looking for something a bit more... romantic? Then boy do we got you covered! After extensive research at our favorite fanfic websites, we've compiled a short list of possible champion couples you two lovebirds might be interested in playing to make that one game a little more endearing.
Shining, Shimmering, Splendid *(~w~)*
Never forget the classics, kids! This dazzling duo shines bright in the bot lane, with strong poke and sustain. Taric's big, manly shield ensures his hunnybunny Ezreal's safety, as his Shatter gives them plenty of armor to take on those ugly hags like Sivir and Ashe. As the enchanting explorer sprinkles some lovely Mystic Shots for harass, big daddy can stun his enemies with a wink, causing tantalizing amounts of damage to be dealt. In teamfights, the Gem Knight can release a huge Radiance for his team, making him and his allies glow with power, and Mr. Blonde hair Blue-eyes is able to poke and kite around enemies, especially when equipped with Papa Phreak's Triforce Build. Be warned though, this pairing is for real men, who truly appreciate and admire each other's "abilities" and could "synchronize" well in the "lane."
Bang bang!
Impure Shots fired! This unseeming frienship between pirate and pirate hunter can work as a top/bottom, though putting them together in a duo lane is where the fun begins. Double Up/Parrrley is a terrrifying harass tool, which can be made even more painful with Raise your Morales ????????????????????????. The Goreous Gunslinger can bully bot lanes away more with her Fortunate Frenemy's passive, crippling their movespeed and health regen. Gangplank may not be able to heal up his mate-y, but he can plunder better items than normal supports by looting up a Relic Shield and lasthitting with Q. When the ults are up, it's time shiver their timbers, as Cannon Barrage can slow enemies long enough for them to eat the entire Bullet Time. Pick this one if you wanna board the lane guns blazing. Just remember: You always shoot first.
Flips Ahoy!
Need something warm and fuzzy perhaps? Well, here's one that melts in the lane, and give opponents pain. Throwing the standard top/jungle roles they have aside, this workable bot lane steps up their game at level three. Volibear's Rolling Rampage works better with the Singed's sweet spurt of Mega Adhesive, setting up "Love Hurls" towards the turret. Hand in hand, they work best as dive buddies, going after the carry in a deadly ménage à trois as you trap him in your loving arms, then bursting out with Frenzy while he chokes from the fragrant scent of Poison Trail. And if the enemy team jumps on you? The more the merrier! With Chosen of the Storm and Insanity Potion, the party never ends! Just make sure to equip ghost or else the Vaynes and the Nidalees might scurry away, and that's heartbreaking.
Baylove
Not all relationships are created equal, and who are we to judge? If there are a few misunderstanding the two of you need to assassinate this Valentine's Day, follow Brian "TheOddOne" Wyllie and Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg's lead by queuing up with one of their favorite pairs. Even if one of you takes all the wraiths or constantly begs for ganks, the two of you can still have the satisfaction of roaming bottom together and finding picks across the map with Ethereal Chains, Cocoon, and the burst packed onto your abilities. Just pray Leblanc never falls below 40% health because the last thing you want is for there to be two of them.
Total Eclipse of the Heart
So what if she's just not into you? It isn't like you slaughtered the elders of her sect, and even if you did, you can still duo queue. This combination is perfect if one of you is last pick and has to support, but when lane phase ends, whether the Leona player likes it or not, she will protect you. A Zenith Blade into Shield of Daybreak locks down a target for Diana to land Crescent Strike, and Solar Flare gives Diana the crowd control to Lunar Rush through the enemy team. If things go wrong, the two of you will go down together with Eclipse and Pale Cascade held high. When the game ends, if she still doesn't believe the two of you are meant for each other, you can at find comfort in knowing the Sun would probably burn you alive.
Big and Juicy
Does size matter to you? Well then, here's something that'll fit to your taste. As they both need some cash to get pumped, it's recommended to put Zac and Cho'Gath in top and jungle, 'cause they need some time in the gym. Once they get beefy though, they'll start to do more than just stylin' and profilin'. The bouncing baby science experiment can flex his gooey muscles and engage from afar, setting a good follow-up for Voidboy to chain his knockup and silence. Zac then could stretch away his ult, putting enemies in place even further, while his bro NOMS at the poor, squishy wimps called carries. As big bullies as they are though, the two bullies are more suited for pushing and shoving nerds around, and not exactly for killing them outright, so you might need a bit more help in the damage section.
Child's Play
Ah, young love. The cute and cuddly demon child/tiny walking corpse combo is an AoE wonderland. The terror toddlers will do wonders in the mid and jungle, giving both of them time to play around at first. Amumu can make a few good Bandage tosses to help the lanes, but getting to six should be priority for both of these young, new friends. Once the teamfight starts however, the kid gloves are off. The Curse of the Tibbers is a monstruous mix of damage and crowd control, burning away all the other kids, adults too. But while the mummy will keep trying to impress with tears and tantrums, the sadness continues as his little lovely girl will stay behind, hurling so much fire that she'll never get to see what's his true feelings. Coming out of his lonely, rotted heart. Aw =(
The Champ is Here: The Musical
You should be ashamed of yourself if you realize why this is relevant.But no, seriously, Sona and Jax are perfect for mutual adoration. A cocky man like Jax who needs no weapon can be calmed down by the soothing chords of a beautiful woman. Hell, he might even help her get her voice back so she can sing her sweet serenades to him.Outside of personality reasons, this passionate pairing can do work together when you consider that Sona delicately compliments Jax in every way with her tender love. Her pleasant songs offer everything Jax needs: tankiness, attack damage, ability power, and move speed. Aside from that, the two play the most addicting of melodies for all the rift to hear. Jax, a percussions expert, compliments Sona's soft music with the the rhythmetic beatings on a turret or player. No summoner can deny the entrancing, hypnotizing sound of Jax wailing away at something with his ultimate while Sona plays away from the backlines.
Yeah...that's why the two go well together.
Honorable Mentions:
X
Gotta believe in magic. Even if it is betrayal-fueled and shadow-beckoned. Plus, they got the moves on the dance floor.
X Only perfection can stand side by side with perfection. Might have trouble with selfies, though.
X NOBODY Look, man. Real talk? Nobody likes you. Soraka only teams up with you cause she's motherly like that.
I would like to thank Prehistorique and DreXxin for helping me with this feature with the extra write-ups, pairings, and images. As well as entertaining this silly idea.
Happy Valentines, Summoners!
With love,
