@Schro Not really actually, going by lore there would only be a small handful of characters who dont scale in some way to a tier 7 feat
Not sure I believe that given that not one single champion profile I've seen during my random picks (Ahri, Alistar, Blitzcrank, Cho'Gath, Jayce, Miss Fortune, Mordekaiser, Sona, Vel'Koz, Viktor, Warwick, Xin Zhao) has a mentioned Town level feat that isn't Garen. The only one that even has more than the basic Garen scaling (out of the ones mentioned) is Mordekaiser's bio reading:
"More powerful than the whole of the Black Mist, a force capable of potentially destroying the island nation of Bilgewater, including those bound to it"
And I
very much do not recall any mention of Mordekaiser being
more powerful than the whole of the Black Mist and even more do not recall it doing anything other than harbor a shit-ton of spirits- which then can
kill the entire nation of Bilgewater on a lower-scale compared to wiping the town off the map.
And furthermore I would be pretty willing to call that scaling into question given that seemingly every bio, story, and cinematic that comes out is portraying most of these characters as far less than Town Level. Nautilus dies from a falling rock in A New Dawn (which clearly has the Nexus visible at the end so it's in Summoner's Rift), Miss Fortune hides from bullets in The Climb, Karma's bio makes a huge deal about how she blew up a single ship, Warwick is at least briefly halted by metal walls, these are
not Town-level feats.
Malzahar at least has given reasoning- making those giant rifts in the rock, but Malz has fought precisely nobody in the new lore exempting maybe Kassadin and so nobody has reason to scale to him. And to be fair again (even though I'm one of the guys who brought up that feat) it's specifically rumors of those things happening and it's without a timeframe or knowledge of whether the Voidlings Malzahar is calling are assisting with it.
And above all else
Katarina surely wouldn't scale- Garen's Town-level Ultimate missed her and
still incapacitated her. And in no other cinematic has she shown tanking or surviving an attack of similar strength. The fact that most champions have far less reason to scale to Garen than Kat should give an idea of why some think the scaling is wonky. If other verses do the same exact thing then I can only suppose those verses are messed up as well.
