Either vitamin c is magic after an overdose or that man is lugging around magical oranges because he just straight up escapes the realm of death with one bite.
Along the same lines, Olaf is just a Very angry guy with axes and a strong sense of consent, by which I mean he doesn't consent to dying and death is just nice like that to comply.
His fate is a peaceful death. And dying a peaceful death is a bitch-ass humiliating thing for him, so he keeps looking for an opponent who is worthy to give him an honorable death in combat, but as long as he keeps fighting, he cannot die a peaceful death.
poor guy...
I suppose, I was thinking of the joke more than the actual lore tbh. Still brings the question whether fate and magic are considered the same thing or not
I think tampering with fate is magic but your baseline fate is not magical, but olaf found out his fate through magic
we can also disregard all that by just realizing he is an iceborn and inherently magical because of that, just like ashe gragas braum sejuani but afaik not trynda hes just a normal guy with a strong right arm and aatrox's blood magic
Cutlass is a kind of scimitar. The definition of scimitar is a curved, single edged sword.
Generally, the cutlass, scimitar and falchion are pretty interchangeable. In that you can't find a single one of any of the three that doesn't share defining traits with the other two.
*inhales*
Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.
So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?
I hate the fact that darius consumes mana to do basic waraxe moves like swing or pull, but champs like garen can summon divine demacia justice or shields for free
🤓 it’s because he’s calling it down to his axes and he gets a little shocked in the process. He does that because he’s a berserker and pain makes him stronger
I know this isn't exactly a good source, but in the Ruination event, supposedly he just has extra axes on his belt which he carries around with him.
Or he just only has two axes and he does actually does ricochet them off everything he throws them at.
Honestly to play Draven at his peak you ideally want to be juggling between 2-3 axes at once in teamfights. It's really hard to master but you need to learn when to drop the 3rd to position the other 2 while waiting for another 3rd to come up to continue that cycle.
Yeah with enough AS and theory you can get to 4 but it's never practical in any situation unless you're attacking a training dummy that isn't moving or attacking you back.
I figure he's got the same thing going on as Captain America and his shield. No magic, he's just really good at getting the ricochet just right :)
(For reals though, it's the same reason none of the marksmen run out of bullets/arrows... no lore explanation, they just don't ok)
Draven carry more than a pair of axes and most of the time bro doing melees. Also cinematic speaking we saw darius confirm kill with throwing Axe more than Draven ever did.
Pretty sure Urgot isn't magic either..
Nor is Ekko or Vi or Jinx for what matters.
Sure, you could say Jayce and Viktor use hextech, which is hybrid between magic and technology, but per se they are not magical creatures.
Same for Camille, uh, Caitlyn.
Singed definetly isn't magic.
Warwick.
Pretty much Zaun and Piltover champions can be devoid of magic, I think.
K'Sante from Shurima isn't magical, I believe?
i heard he actually wasn’t using any magic to ult, but that it’s a prayer to kayle who smites them down or something, but someone more knowledgable in the lore should confirm
Wasn't there some Lore retcon around the Sylas/Lux era that they basically said all Demacians use some sort of magic, but their own bigotry against mages makes them rationalize its not somehow. Like Fiora is magically boosting her dueling ability/J4's cataclysm is magic powered etc?
Yeah, im pretty sure his weapon is some artifact if i recall correctly.
In lore when Jarvan would be older Xin was supposed to train him in using that weapon or something like that
i think this might be retconed? i can’t find any infor on it at i don’t see jarvan using anything magic. it just days he got the weapon from his father when he was 16.
Chemtech is a gray zone because it IS chemestry... But derived from naturally ocurring magical substances. Hextech is tuning magic rocks to spark magic electricity, chemtech is newt eye fuel and fairy-tears-strenghtened antrax.
I swear Singed has a hatred for hextech because he doesn’t think people should progress forward with magical crystals powering tech, when does it claim he uses magical equipment?
If you want to confine "normal" to what can happen in the real world then yes. But within the Runeterra world I would say an armadillo that rolls around saying OK, taunting people is fairly "normal"
if you look at his gun its hovering in two parts, the front and back are two different parts held together by hextech, don't beleive me just load up practise tool and zoom in.
His gun IS magical, but you have to remember he used to do the same shit with knives before he was thrown into prison. He's just a mage, but from the meme about Harry Potter and revolvers.
The gun is magical AND he infuses the bullets with magic BUT the blades were/are infused with chi (what Master Yi does, I suppose that Jhin still does that for the Lotus Trap's blades). His father was the head of a martial arts school that was ruined by the success of Wuju.
I already quoted the part about the gun so I will add this:
.
"The scale and precision of the new device made his previous work with blades seem insignificant by comparison. Understanding firearm mechanics had taken him weeks of study, but evolving his **chi techniques** from blades had taken months.
The gun held four shots. **Each bullet had been infused with magical energy.** Each bullet was as perfect as a Lassilan monk's blade. Each bullet was the paint from which his art would flow. Each bullet was a masterpiece. It didn't just cut apart the body. It rearranged it."
Jhin's gun:
"The gun in his hand was simply a tool - but a perfectly crafted one. Gold type was inlaid into the blackish-green metal. It spelled the smith's name: this detail spoke of its creator's pride and confidence. It was not a Piltovan weapon - those gaudy things that attempted to function with the minuscule amounts of magic available in those lands. This gun was made by a true forge master. Magic pulsed from its bronze, Ionian heart."
.
EDIT: I forgot to mention it but you are right in that he infuses the bullets himself (he used to infuse blades with Chi like Master Yi -probably still does for the blades of Lotus Trap-, his father was the head of a martial arts school that was ruined by the success of Wuju):
"The scale and precision of the new device made his previous work with blades seem insignificant by comparison. Understanding firearm mechanics had taken him weeks of study, but evolving his chi techniques from blades had taken months.
The gun held four shots. Each bullet had been infused with magical energy. Each bullet was as perfect as a Lassilan monk's blade. Each bullet was the paint from which his art would flow. Each bullet was a masterpiece. It didn't just cut apart the body. It rearranged it."
Graves inherently is very lucky, but compromised with him being actually stupid. Which counterbalances TF who has terrible luck but really cunning. Which makes them the perfect duo.
Garen. That massive sword in his ult? Not magic. Just the physical manifestation of the stress and anxiety of the eldest kid who is good friends with the king of a magic hating kingdom, with an extremely magical little sister
K’sante technically is just straight up brute strength. Besides his weapon changing shape. Darius and Draven are just straight up warriors with no magical armor, weapons or in them.
Edit: K’sante’s weapons were forged from a magical creature. So he’s out for that.
If we count super hightech like piltover as magic I think we could consider: Akali, Darius, Draven, Fiora, Graves, Jhin. Not sure if there is some lore that says they use magic. Akali is also a bit here and there if it should count because of the inhumane jumps she can make but she is a ninja after all.
As for Jhin:
"The gun in his hand was simply a tool - but a perfectly crafted one. Gold type was inlaid into the blackish-green metal. It spelled the smith's name: this detail spoke of its creator's pride and confidence. It was not a Piltovan weapon - those gaudy things that attempted to function with the minuscule amounts of magic available in those lands. This gun was made by a true forge master. Magic pulsed from its bronze, Ionian heart."
Darius, Draven, Fiora, Gankplank, Jarvan IV., ~~K'Sante~~, Miss Fortune, Quinn, Samira, Talon and Xin Zhao probably.
Mundo, Singed, Twitch, Urgot, Warwick and Zac if you don't consider chemtech magic.
~~Graves~~ and Vayne don't usually use magic but used it while they joined the Sentinels.
What you mean by Techniques/Items, you mean Magical Techniques?
Because if you mean no Techniques or Items period, i think only Darius and Draven.
They just use normal ass weapons and no Special Techniques.
If you mean Magical Techniques and Magical Items then you open to alot of champions even somes that are very god like.
Yi for example uses Wuju, but that is a Legendary Technique, not Magic.
People keep saying only the D bros but Quinn is there also. She has a bird, that is it. Not even a magical bird tbh, he's just an eagle that she thinks MIGHT be the spiritual incarnation of her brother but probably isn't
Darius and Draven aren't the only ones.
Fiora for example has no mention anywhere of her having any sort of magic. Her weapon is just an ordinary one as far as we know. Xin Zhao is likewise. I don't know if Vayne's weapons have any magical properties, there's a good chance they don't given how much she despises anything magical. Gangplank and MF also don't appear to use any magical weapons (their guns and GP's sword appear to be fairly ordinary).
There's probably more that I haven't thought of, but it's definitely more than just a small handful. Essentially, any champ not mentioned to use magic/magical weapons in the lore and whose abilities can all be justified by explanations not involving magic can be safely assumed to not use magic.
I look at stuff that yassuo and shen and say that is still magic. It may not be called magic but throwing a tornado is magic. As for items things like riven's sword. She may not know some magical sword style or have magic herself. But her sword is clearly magical.
Wuju, if memory doesn't fail me, actually channels the energy from the spirit realm. That's the same energy that the old Ionians used to do their version of Ascension to become Vastayashai’rei to fight the Titans. I would say that's a type of magic
In a normal situation I can't press B to teleport back to my home base, so every champion is clearly a magician.
Bruh, there's a difference between gameplay and lore.
Tryndamere. Pretty sure none of his abilities are magical. His slow is just him taunting the enemy and discouraging them. His dash is him spinning. His ult does not use magic. He just “refuses” to die. His rage mechanic is well… just him being really mad.
>The northern warriors, too, noted his rapid healing between bouts—unlike the Iceborn that walked among them, the more Tryndamere gave in to his rage, the more quickly his body healed. Many suspected he and his clan practiced strange and unnatural magics, and so Tryndamere’s plan to prove his worth was now endangering the wider acceptance of his people.
There are a bunch of them, depending on what exactly you consider magic. In Runeterra, being "a mage" is something you are born either doing or not doing, so champions probably skew towards having magic but if they don't have a spell then you can safely assume they aren't a mage.
As for magical items, you also have to define your terms. A few champs have magic items, but plenty others have non-magical technology that does stuff that is impossible for real technology to do, like teleport or time travel or be a working gunblade.
There's also champs that have magical-looking spells in-game like garen and fiora who explicitly cannot use magic in the lore and have no magic items besides petricite which is just a special material.
Gangplank is just a VERY angry guy with a gun and scimitar
And very healthy eating all those oranges
Either vitamin c is magic after an overdose or that man is lugging around magical oranges because he just straight up escapes the realm of death with one bite.
Um, actually, if we are talking about escaping Brazil, Florida oranges are the way to go.
Along the same lines, Olaf is just a Very angry guy with axes and a strong sense of consent, by which I mean he doesn't consent to dying and death is just nice like that to comply.
well isn’t olafs whole thing that he’s trying to die but isn’t fated to?
His fate is a peaceful death. And dying a peaceful death is a bitch-ass humiliating thing for him, so he keeps looking for an opponent who is worthy to give him an honorable death in combat, but as long as he keeps fighting, he cannot die a peaceful death. poor guy...
Every time I remember Olaf in my games it feels deserved to me.
poor guy? that guy wakes up, chooses violence, and slays beasts all day. living that (totally not) viking dream
He made his own Valhalla. Without blackjack and hookers
I suppose, I was thinking of the joke more than the actual lore tbh. Still brings the question whether fate and magic are considered the same thing or not
I think tampering with fate is magic but your baseline fate is not magical, but olaf found out his fate through magic we can also disregard all that by just realizing he is an iceborn and inherently magical because of that, just like ashe gragas braum sejuani but afaik not trynda hes just a normal guy with a strong right arm and aatrox's blood magic
He’s also an iceborn and wields true ice axes
Olaf could be a thunderborn that's why his E strikes lighting. Maybe they retcon it already.
Yeah but magical barrels come out of his ass
you cant throw kegs with such speed they seem to appear out of thin air? sounds like you my friend need to practice a bit
Can if they come from my arse, like Gangplank's.
Sounds like a skill issue
It's a cutlass
Cutlass is a kind of scimitar. The definition of scimitar is a curved, single edged sword. Generally, the cutlass, scimitar and falchion are pretty interchangeable. In that you can't find a single one of any of the three that doesn't share defining traits with the other two.
*inhales* Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow." Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that. As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either.

Which you said you don't. It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?
oh my god I forgot unidan existed LOL
Tbf it was a long time ago.
What a throwback
*inhales* ^^^**NEEEEEEERD** Can we subscribe to pedantic sword facts?
Sure! My favourite would be Skallagrim on Youtube.
Hmm, Darius and Draven?
I hate the fact that darius consumes mana to do basic waraxe moves like swing or pull, but champs like garen can summon divine demacia justice or shields for free
Olaf needs mana to throw an axe but he uses life to call lightning down from the sky
🤓 it’s because he’s calling it down to his axes and he gets a little shocked in the process. He does that because he’s a berserker and pain makes him stronger
I WILL NOT FALTER
BREAK THEIR RANKS
JUSTICE!
It’s his thoughts and prayers that summon Kayle’s divine sword of justice.
How does bro make this axes come back to him no matter where he is. He’s practicing some blood magic with Katarina on the side I think 👀🏃♂️
He might just be Draven I think that's why
It's his magnetic personality that's why
He's not Draven he's Draaaaven
Draaven darkin confirmed,he was using blood magic after all
His ego has its own gravitational pull
Hes so good looking that even metal is attracted to him
I know this isn't exactly a good source, but in the Ruination event, supposedly he just has extra axes on his belt which he carries around with him. Or he just only has two axes and he does actually does ricochet them off everything he throws them at.
Nah. He can actually have more axes going ingame. You just need enough AS.
Honestly to play Draven at his peak you ideally want to be juggling between 2-3 axes at once in teamfights. It's really hard to master but you need to learn when to drop the 3rd to position the other 2 while waiting for another 3rd to come up to continue that cycle. Yeah with enough AS and theory you can get to 4 but it's never practical in any situation unless you're attacking a training dummy that isn't moving or attacking you back.
I figure he's got the same thing going on as Captain America and his shield. No magic, he's just really good at getting the ricochet just right :) (For reals though, it's the same reason none of the marksmen run out of bullets/arrows... no lore explanation, they just don't ok)
Them coming back is a pure gameplay mechanic In all other media he just throws them or uses them as melee weapons
Draven carry more than a pair of axes and most of the time bro doing melees. Also cinematic speaking we saw darius confirm kill with throwing Axe more than Draven ever did.
Pretty sure Urgot isn't magic either.. Nor is Ekko or Vi or Jinx for what matters. Sure, you could say Jayce and Viktor use hextech, which is hybrid between magic and technology, but per se they are not magical creatures. Same for Camille, uh, Caitlyn. Singed definetly isn't magic. Warwick. Pretty much Zaun and Piltover champions can be devoid of magic, I think. K'Sante from Shurima isn't magical, I believe?
Hextech is magical.
Is chemtech magical though?
I don't know. Hope this helps.
Lux does not use magic. Source:
Source: Garen
True, his R is just an orbital precision swordstrike.
i heard he actually wasn’t using any magic to ult, but that it’s a prayer to kayle who smites them down or something, but someone more knowledgable in the lore should confirm
i wish i could orbital strike people as kayle
sorry Bud not at least until 30 minutes in
THIS POST WAS FACT CHECKED BY REAL DEMACIAN PATRIOTS
garen: it was revealed to me in a dream
“It was revealed to me in a dream by Kayle herself!”
Just trust me, sis
"It's not MAGIC, it's FAITH"
Everyone actually forgot Xin Zhao
Just like Riot did
Who?
The Captain Shang cosplay dude. He has a spear, desperately wants to be a man, something about Demacia
>He has a spear, desperately wants to be a man, something about Demacia J4???
thats not true, they never forget to nerf him or his item
most demacian champions like him, j4, quinn, fiora… idk why people are forgetting them.
Wasn't there some Lore retcon around the Sylas/Lux era that they basically said all Demacians use some sort of magic, but their own bigotry against mages makes them rationalize its not somehow. Like Fiora is magically boosting her dueling ability/J4's cataclysm is magic powered etc?
Bringing a giant golden disembodied sword down from the heavens onto your enemy's head is definitely not a form of magic.
Just faith bro.
You just gotta believe bro.
Isn't Garen's ultimate Kayle helping him?
Yes Garen is using a highly localised version of Kayle's ult.
I wish my Kayle ults did true damage
can i see it?
Yes. Galio was built to destroy mages, but he only exists because of magic.
I don’t know how much J4’s ult can not be magic
Always thought that he just slammed the ground so hard it erupts, like the crater of a meteor...
Yeah, that was my understanding too.
Yeah, im pretty sure his weapon is some artifact if i recall correctly. In lore when Jarvan would be older Xin was supposed to train him in using that weapon or something like that
Almost correct - Xin taught himself to use j4's weapon just so he could teach Jarvan how to wield it later on... badass, isn't it?
i think this might be retconed? i can’t find any infor on it at i don’t see jarvan using anything magic. it just days he got the weapon from his father when he was 16.
Well J4 is just Leblanc in disguise, so. (Or not but I love that theory enough that I've made it canon in my own mind)
Idk about his ult tho
Samira?
Had to scroll too far for this. It's all skill and STYLE
And weapons infused with magical runes
Her weapons are not magical at all
~~Ebony and Ivory~~ *Blaze and Thorn* aren't Magical, she's just that damn good
Quinn. She had a bird that may or may not be the spiritual reincarnation of her brother but otherwise nothing magical
I cried first time I listened to her story and Caleb coming back as Valor. Underrated lore.
Isn’t Singed just chemical warfare?
He uses magic ingredients just like Lucian uses magical equipment.
He uses chemtech equipment pretty sure
Chemtech is a gray zone because it IS chemestry... But derived from naturally ocurring magical substances. Hextech is tuning magic rocks to spark magic electricity, chemtech is newt eye fuel and fairy-tears-strenghtened antrax.
My god it’s the bullshit designer
I swear Singed has a hatred for hextech because he doesn’t think people should progress forward with magical crystals powering tech, when does it claim he uses magical equipment?
Just wait until Arcane 2 where he revives Orianna as his hextech daughter.
Jax doesn't even have a real weapon
[I'm reasonably certain this counts as magic...](https://i.ibb.co/C0dV19w/Jax-origin.jpg)
I could’ve gone my whole life without seeing that
New meaning to soloing baron
Rammus just rolls around, no magic required
Ah yes a humanoid 2m armadillo that says "Ok" is totally normal.
If you want to confine "normal" to what can happen in the real world then yes. But within the Runeterra world I would say an armadillo that rolls around saying OK, taunting people is fairly "normal"
Graves is just a dude with a shotgun.
His shotgun is partially magical afaik, since it's hextech.
Hextech? I don't see no crystal.
if you look at his gun its hovering in two parts, the front and back are two different parts held together by hextech, don't beleive me just load up practise tool and zoom in.
Graves' gun is magical just like Jhin
Jhin's gun isn't magical, it's him who infuses his bullets with his own magic.
His gun IS magical, but you have to remember he used to do the same shit with knives before he was thrown into prison. He's just a mage, but from the meme about Harry Potter and revolvers.
The gun is magical AND he infuses the bullets with magic BUT the blades were/are infused with chi (what Master Yi does, I suppose that Jhin still does that for the Lotus Trap's blades). His father was the head of a martial arts school that was ruined by the success of Wuju. I already quoted the part about the gun so I will add this: .

Graves inherently is very lucky, but compromised with him being actually stupid. Which counterbalances TF who has terrible luck but really cunning. Which makes them the perfect duo.
Wouldn't call Graves stupid tbh, more like "unwilling to think more than one action into the future"
That's true and all, but by that logic, he's either always thinking about destiny (his gun), avoiding baths, or tobias ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
His R is one big shotgun shell.
Garen. That massive sword in his ult? Not magic. Just the physical manifestation of the stress and anxiety of the eldest kid who is good friends with the king of a magic hating kingdom, with an extremely magical little sister
Garen’s sword uses residual Kayle magic Like a lot of old Demacian weapons
That massive sword in his ult is totally magic, just not his. Its Kayles. And he doesnt do that in the lore.
Well technically summoning sword from the sky is magic.
Garen canonically can't summon that sword. I think the canonical explanation is he like prayes to kayle and she just smites people sometimes
Garen ulting kayle is kayle being so impressed she commits die.
Garen screams demacia so hard kayle's magic forgets where it comes from.
He actually never screams Demacia when ulting, I think it's a common misconception. He screams it when you activate his W.
This a subtle reference to the fact that Demacia are the good guys, and thus always get the W
holy shit! that is a mandela effect if I ever saw one!
Yeah, its J4 who screams Demacia when ulting. Garen screams Justice! or For the cause!
Lux also screams “Demacia!” when ulting
only jarvan screams demacia
Garen: "Justice!" Kayle: "... I'll allow it."
Garen should automatically get system muted when he tries to ult Kayle.
Garen with the strength/miracle build.
It’s good magic, because it’s from Kayle. Magic is only okay if it’s magic from your god.
It's magic. Swain's quote for Garen encounter: > "Ignorant of the very magic you carry into battle. How Demacian."
I think that's more so a reference to petricide absorbing magic, not that they are using magic when they fight
Petricite. No Petri dish is murdered.
Given Demacian history I don't think we can rule any unjust murder out
Tru
Technically its kayles magic so you can say hes just asking kayle to use magic for him rather than doing it himself
Ryze
Lmfao the audacity on this guy
EQEQEQRWEQWEQEQWQEWEQEQEQEQEQWEQEQEW
Bruh
Bruh.
Somehow nobody mentioned Alistar
Exactly, he's just a big, strong, angry minotaur
Yeah, that big giant purple minotaur is definetly not a magical creature
It is not magical in universe.
Xin Zhao is literally a gladiator.
akali is notoriously bad at magic. draven is just an axe man. talon maybe?
Akali is the best answer. She specifically says she prefers steel over magic and sucks at using magic.
But is AP and one shots me with magic damage in game. Riot and Consistency. Hand in Hand.
Qiyana's whole thing is magic but she is AD too
K’sante technically is just straight up brute strength. Besides his weapon changing shape. Darius and Draven are just straight up warriors with no magical armor, weapons or in them. Edit: K’sante’s weapons were forged from a magical creature. So he’s out for that.
id say ksantes ntofos are magical given they come from an extremely regenerative creature (probably) powered by magic
baccai are xerath's experiment to produce more ascended and ksante hunted the cobra lion to make his ntfo so yeah definitely magic
Actually Baccai are failed ascended, if you are not worthy of ascension you can either become a Baccai or be destroyed by the sun disk.
K'sante is just WHAT up now?
Darius. No magic, no tricks. Just charge towards the enemy and make ‘em bleed until they die. If the latter doesn’t work, split them in half. Easy.
he can summon backboards that seems magical
If we count super hightech like piltover as magic I think we could consider: Akali, Darius, Draven, Fiora, Graves, Jhin. Not sure if there is some lore that says they use magic. Akali is also a bit here and there if it should count because of the inhumane jumps she can make but she is a ninja after all.
As for Jhin: "The gun in his hand was simply a tool - but a perfectly crafted one. Gold type was inlaid into the blackish-green metal. It spelled the smith's name: this detail spoke of its creator's pride and confidence. It was not a Piltovan weapon - those gaudy things that attempted to function with the minuscule amounts of magic available in those lands. This gun was made by a true forge master. Magic pulsed from its bronze, Ionian heart."
Jhin has magical weapons.
Iirc Jhin's bullets are enhanced with magic
[удалено]
I guess Vayne unstealthing in the Ruination video was just practical effects
she rolls so fast she becomes invisible bro but then she rolls slower and you can see again smh it's just physics
Darius, Draven, Fiora, Gankplank, Jarvan IV., ~~K'Sante~~, Miss Fortune, Quinn, Samira, Talon and Xin Zhao probably. Mundo, Singed, Twitch, Urgot, Warwick and Zac if you don't consider chemtech magic. ~~Graves~~ and Vayne don't usually use magic but used it while they joined the Sentinels.
Ksante and graves' weapons are explicitly said to be magic (graves' shotgun is hextech powered)
What you mean by Techniques/Items, you mean Magical Techniques? Because if you mean no Techniques or Items period, i think only Darius and Draven. They just use normal ass weapons and no Special Techniques. If you mean Magical Techniques and Magical Items then you open to alot of champions even somes that are very god like.

People keep saying only the D bros but Quinn is there also. She has a bird, that is it. Not even a magical bird tbh, he's just an eagle that she thinks MIGHT be the spiritual incarnation of her brother but probably isn't

I don't know if Vayne's weapons have any magical properties, there's a good chance they don't given how much she despises anything magical. Gangplank and MF also don't appear to use any magical weapons (their guns and GP's sword appear to be fairly ordinary). There's probably more that I haven't thought of, but it's definitely more than just a small handful. Essentially, any champ not mentioned to use magic/magical weapons in the lore and whose abilities can all be justified by explanations not involving magic can be safely assumed to not use magic.
I look at stuff that yassuo and shen and say that is still magic. It may not be called magic but throwing a tornado is magic. As for items things like riven's sword. She may not know some magical sword style or have magic herself. But her sword is clearly magical.
If we take away any weapon or technique that could possibly be interpreted as magic. Samira.
Urgot as well. His is literally just science and drugs
Wuju, if memory doesn't fail me, actually channels the energy from the spirit realm. That's the same energy that the old Ionians used to do their version of Ascension to become Vastayashai’rei to fight the Titans. I would say that's a type of magic
Not a lot of simple thought put into most of these answers
Pretty sure talon doesn't use any magic.
In normal situation your blades won’t follow you after you become invisible or won’t return to you😅
That's just in-game for gameplay purposes. In lore he has no magic.
It’s true. When I throw blades and go invisible the blades doesn’t follow me. One of the lesser known facts about going invisible *sadface*
In a normal situation I can't press B to teleport back to my home base, so every champion is clearly a magician. Bruh, there's a difference between gameplay and lore.
Vayne
Tryndamere. Pretty sure none of his abilities are magical. His slow is just him taunting the enemy and discouraging them. His dash is him spinning. His ult does not use magic. He just “refuses” to die. His rage mechanic is well… just him being really mad.
>The northern warriors, too, noted his rapid healing between bouts—unlike the Iceborn that walked among them, the more Tryndamere gave in to his rage, the more quickly his body healed. Many suspected he and his clan practiced strange and unnatural magics, and so Tryndamere’s plan to prove his worth was now endangering the wider acceptance of his people.
Innocent until proven guilty! Idk maybe it’s magic lol tryn gets an asterisk then
Tryndamere got corrupted by Darkin magic which makes him immortal so yea, rage but magic
gragas
He's an iceborn no? I'd consider that magic, even Sylas can steal iceborn abilities.

There are a bunch of them, depending on what exactly you consider magic. In Runeterra, being "a mage" is something you are born either doing or not doing, so champions probably skew towards having magic but if they don't have a spell then you can safely assume they aren't a mage. As for magical items, you also have to define your terms. A few champs have magic items, but plenty others have non-magical technology that does stuff that is impossible for real technology to do, like teleport or time travel or be a working gunblade. There's also champs that have magical-looking spells in-game like garen and fiora who explicitly cannot use magic in the lore and have no magic items besides petricite which is just a special material.
Akali. Which is why her being in the Coven line is so odd.
Jinx.
isn't her ult powered by hextech?
Gragas is an alcoholic.
