* Katarina and Garen. Garen's background ''clearly'' shows he has a thing for her, but whether she would reciprocate is undetermined.

* Jarvan IV/Shyvana is another very popular couple in the fanbase, despite certain Riot staff stating a preference for Jarvan IV/Quinn.
* Some unusual members of the player base have started shipping [[CrackShip Soraka with Hecarim.]] [[http://elohell.net/chill/233437 Seriously.]]
* The Korean and wider Asian fanbase tends to pair up Ahri with ''Sona'', of all people, despite the two having never interacted in lore at all; you can find tons and tons of Ahri/Sona art on a casual Google search. This seems to be largely due to the two of them being [[http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2844467 the most popular girls in general]]. This does actually have a certain amount of sense to it: Ahri is explicitly based on the ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gumiho gumiho]]'' of Korean mythology, one of whose specific traits is a sort of telepathy. Now, given that the only way [[TheSpeechless Sona]] can communicate verbally with others is through them being able to hear her thoughts...
* Similarly, the Asian fanbase seems fond of shipping Lulu and ''Veigar'' together... or at least, Lulu ''to'' Veigar. Poor Veigar's willingness on this seems to vary, depending on the artist. [[http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=3174110 It's taking root in the NA community as well.]]
** This got ''so'' prominent, so quickly, that it essentially forced its way into [[AscendedFanon becoming canon]]; on the updated League main site, [[http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/lulu/ Lulu]] and [[http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/veigar/ Veigar]] are now listed as mutual friends. The "friends" listing is used elsewhere to include canon romantic interests like Ezreal/Lux.
* Let's not forget Ahri/Wukong! And even that is teased with them being friends according to the site. Even the web-animation series ''WebAnimation/LaLaLaDemaCia'' ship them and gave them a tragic love story.
* There's quite a bit of support for Pantheon/Leona. Considering these two are the paragons of Rakkor (Pantheon is the strongest in the military, Leona is the most powerful in the "church") and childhood friends, it's fairly reasonable. The {{Fanon}} added up with Pantheon's baker joke and Leona's protective philosophy that Leona is a fan of Pantheon's cakes, and when they were children, Leona protected Pantheon from bullies that ridiculed his hobby before he became known as the paragon of the Rakkor warriors. (Seeing as how the Rakkor are a ProudWarriorRace, it makes sense that that kind of bullying could happen.)
* There's people who love to ship ''[[CrackPairing Riven and Zac.]]'' Specifically [[PlayboyBunny Battle Bunny Riven]] and Zac, since he [[EarlyBirdCameo first appeared in her splash art]]. While it has its roots in [=LoL=]'s {{Rule 34}} crowd, it's since begun spreading.
* Rengar and Nidalee. Unlike most examples, Riot responded by stating that they're both mutual ''[[ShipSinking rivals]]''. [[FoeYay When does that stop anyone?]]
* Riven and Yasuo, ever since Yasuo's conception and his interactions with Riven, half of which are sympathetic, and the other half link to the fact that it was most likely Riven who killed his elder. Despite this, it's a popular couple, or at least on its way.
* Korean webcomic ''Syndra and Zed's Ordinary Life'' has popularized Syndra and Zed, due to them being both evil-esque Ionian outcasts. It's also loaded with AlternateCharacterInterpretation. Even Riot eventually list both of them as Friends.
* Much to Ezreal's horror, [[HoYay fans often ship him with...]] [[ManlyGay Taric]].
* Similarly, some fans support a [[TheBear man]][[ManlyGay lier]] Graves/Braum ship.
* Along with FoeYay, Miss Fortune and Gangplank are often paired together regardless that Gangplank is a pirate that Miss Fortune disliked, he can totally resist her charms, they bicker each other over the course of Bilgewater's future direction. Before the League Judgment was discontinued, after all, Miss Fortune's past implied that after seeing her mother killed, she was rescued from drowning by a young pirate implied to be the young Gangplank before he dialled up his brutality (he's kind of a rowdy boy).
** Thoroughly [[ShipSinking sunk]] [[{{Pun}} along with Gangplank's actual ship]] by the Bilgewater event, which retconned the backstories of both champions; not only is Gangplank now definitely MUCH older than MF (in fact it's doubtful whether the boy from Miss Fortune's judgement is even still canon) he's now the one who murdered Miss Fortune's parents, [[WouldHurtAChild shot her]] and [[LeftForDead left her for dead]]. MF now hates Gangplank more than anyone in existence and would do ''anything'' to [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge see him dead]], and the feeling is presumably mutual after [[AnArmAndALeg what she cost him in her first attempt]]. There isn't even a slim trace of FoeYay left.
* Several video makers seem to like pairing both [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile Renekton]] and [[SnakesAreSexy Cassiopeia]], probably because they're both the only champions based on reptiles. After the Shurima arc, the pairing seems to be more plausible as Renekton and Cassiopeia are listed as mutual allies and Cassiopeia did play a part in Renekton's release.
* Thanks to their interactions in the ''A New Dawn'' cinematic video, a lot of the fanbase have started shipping [[LesYay Ahri and Leona.]]
* Caitlyn and Vi... [[BattleCouple for obvious reasons]]. The subtext on this one is so thick fans would not be the least bit surprised if Riot just flat out admitted the pair were a couple.
* For a longest time, there has been a fanbase that pairs Varus with Lulu. Mostly with Varus as a big brother or father figure to little Lulu.
