OP or overpowered is a commonly used term in League of Legends. It is often used in relation to a champion and even an item. The champions that are inherently stronger than the rest are said to be OP. It can be overwhelming to play against such champions.
If you were to name all of the overpowered champions in the game, it would probably need a lot more slots than a top 10 list can offer. We have purposefully not included a lot of the champions that are commonly thought to be overpowered.
The reason behind this is that we have tried to include the champions that have a decent play rate. The champions that get played rarely are not worth mentioning because they are seldom seen.
Every League of Legends player has a different perception of what he considers to be overpowered. So you are free to believe that other champions are more deserving of a spot on this list. At the same time, you can not deny that the champions mentioned below also fall in the OP category.

Darius
The champion is extremely strong as he has high damage, self-healing, and an ultimate ability with outrageous damage. Darius can kill the entire enemy team on his if starts getting ultimate resets. Moreover, Darius gets a massive attack damage boost from his passive. This allows him to focus on making defensive items and be incredibly hard to kill for the enemy team.
Irelia
The champion has high sustain in lane, insanely high mobility, and extremely high kill threat. Although bruiser champions are able to match her high all-in potential, when she goes to the mid-lane there is rarely anyone that can compete with her. She also scales better than most champions.
Zed
Zed also has the ability to roam and not let the enemy team’s side lanes have any success in the game. His roaming is effective as has high mobility and multiple gap close abilities as well. His ability to get on top of the enemy carries and delete them also makes him impossible to deal with in team fights.
Yone
Once he gets his core items, Yone can kill the entire enemy team on his own while staying safe himself via a combination of “Soul Unbound” with his ultimate. He is safe because he can go back to his original position at any time he wishes. Yone also has incredibly high DPS, constant shields, and airbornes available to him.
Yasuo
Furthermore, he has the “Windwall”, an ability that blocks all projectiles. Yasuo can essentially make range champions completely useless for some seconds. He is difficult to stop as skill shots are hard to land on him due to his mobility and he can block the other abilities with the Windwall.
Leona
Leona is a literal truck of crowd control. She is impossibly tanky herself and has three different crowd control spells. Other support champs find it hard to match something so direct and overwhelming. She also dominates teamfights by having unmatched engage potential with her ultimate.
Thresh is a support that is able to match her in the lane and in team fights. The problem is he has a very high skill ceiling if you wish to be effective.
Viego
Virgo is a big problem for the enemy team even without being ahead in the game. He is able to get constant resets and the ability to play the enemy champions to kill their own team. Being fed when the enemy team has Viego can end up backfiring pretty easily.
Fiora
Fiora much like Irelia depends a lot on the player’s ability to pilot her effectively. You need to be able to use “Riposte” efficiently and find continuous hits on vital points to utilize Fiora to the highest capacity. If you are able to do so, this champion has the power to be unstoppable.
Katarina
A champion with no cooldowns is virtually unstoppable. Furthermore, you can take almost any build path on the champion. Katarina scales with attack damage as well as ability power and oftentimes you see bruiser builds as well. You can go for whichever build you find to be better suited for the game.
Seraphine
She offers excellent support to her team for multiple reasons. Seraphine can constantly buff her own team and heal them. She can charm the entire enemy team and also hit them with crowd controls all the while staying well away from danger herself.
Final Thoughts
We have tried to include overpowered champions of all roles in the above-mentioned list. The only role that did not get any representation is the ADC. This is because ADCs on their own are very rarely oppressive. The support matchup is the deciding factor of an ADCs strength in the game.
In the top 10, we have tried to include the champions that have the simplest game plan. The simpler a champion is to execute, the more effective it is. These champions are also the ones that commonly dominate games all on their own.
Having said that, for any champion to be overpowered the player themselves have to be piloting them at an appreciative level.
