Some people are more popular than others, and this popularity can vary depending on a person’s qualities. Some people are more popular because they’re good at something, while others are more popular because they’re famous or have a lot of followers.

Since it is difficult to graph out solo queue stats across the board, we will be looking at the professional scene spanning from season 4 up to season 11, taking into account both the champion’s pick and ban rate. ..
20. Xerath
The 281 picks / 196 bans for the 2017 World Cup are a damning indictment of the global governing body’s decision-making process. The selection of a limited number of countries to compete in the tournament is an example of how FIFA can’t be trusted to make sound decisions about who should represent their countries at the highest level.
Xerath is a very versatile champion who can be used in many ways to achieve victory. He is able to easily take down enemies with his powerful spells and abilities, and his high damage output makes him a threat to any player.
He’s a skilled player that can dominate opponents from across the map, and push waves easily. ..
Champions that are unreliable can be risky for pro players. ..
His immobility, long ability buffers, and ulti that locks him in one place make him a difficult opponent. ..
It makes sense that he isn’t popular when the championship is on the line.
19. Aurelion Sol
170 players were picked in the 2017 League of Legends World Championship, while 288 players were banned. ..
Xerath is a very skilled player, but Aurelion Sol has the ability to take him down in a hurry.
Aurelion Sol is a powerful and enigmatic figure, one who has managed to remain largely unknown to the public for years. His mysterious ways have made him a popular target for conspiracy theorists and mystery seekers alike, and his true identity remains a mystery. But with his powerful abilities and mysterious past, Aurelion Sol is no ordinary figure.
The Aurelion pick is a powerful weapon that many assassins are drooling over.
Although the space dragon looks cool and can absolutely stomp solo queue in the right hands, his self-peel is just too weak. And even his roaming potential is outclassed by other mid-laners. ..
Despite its poor record, the dragon is still winning 54.7% of the time. ..
18. Riven
The 204 picks / 239 bans are the total number of bans that Riot Games has issued in the League of Legends competitive scene this season.
Despite the popularity of players like Box Box, the professional scene seems to be less than impressed with Riven. ..
Since we’re discussing the best in the world, it’s not like her skill at celling is holding players back, but rather her lack of overall usefulness.
But what makes her so special is her ability to take control of the game, and make it her own.
Despite being relatively niche, the woman remains a powerful advocate for women’s rights.
Aatrox is a CC fighter that can easily take down enemies in the top lane. If you want a CC fighter in the top lane, why not just pick Aatrox?
If you want to dominate the lane and break through a clumped up team, why not go for Orianna? ..
Riven is not a top-tier champion in the current meta. ..
17. Veigar
The draft of the Overwatch League’s rules were released on Wednesday, and one of the most important changes is that teams will be able to pick their own players. This change comes as a result of the OWL’s partnership with ESPN, which will televise all games. The new rule also allows for 210 player bans, up from the current 100. This increase is in part due to the fact that OWL teams are allowed to sign more players than any other professional league in North America.
When it comes to professional play, stacking champions is rough. This is because they are all very strong and can easily take down other champions quickly.
The team is still in its early stages and they need some time to really gel together. They’re also limited in how many rotations and mid-game team fights they can do.
Veigar is a unique champion with a fatal flaw. His 44% win rate speaks volumes when it comes to his design.
Farmers are not going to just sit there and let you pros take over. ..
If your team can’t pressure their opponents early, they’ll likely move to the lanes and let you farm.
Mid-range casters are a difficult class to play, as they lack the burst of assassins and the safety of poke mages. ..
He comes up short in terms of his ability to think on his feet and make quick decisions.
16. Quinn
172 picks / 179 bans The North American League of Legends Championship Series (NA LCS) is the highest level of play in the region. The NA LCS features eight teams, with four playing in each split. The top two teams from each split qualify for the playoffs, where they compete for a championship title. ..
There is much speculation surrounding Quinn, with no definitive answer as to what she truly is. Science has yet to discover her true identity. ..
She is like a marksman, but also has the ability to be an assassin and a second jungler. ..
This diversity might sound like a good thing. But in reality, it just means that her design has a lack of cohesion.
Despite her impressive performance in the mid and jungle, Riot Games has decided that Syndra is not the best top laner.
Quinn is a very niche pick that is only going to be used occasionally. ..
Your only hope is to high so fly.
15. Kayn
213 players were picked in the 2017 NA LCS Spring Split, 120 of which were banned. ..
I was surprised by how well Kayn performed in the preliminaries.
Rhaast is a versatile and deadly shadow assassin form that provides top tier burst damage and decent mobility. While his unkillable CC machine, Rhaast, can be a bit of a challenge to take down, his Shadow Assassin form makes him an ideal choice for players looking to dominate their opponents.
- The need for a strong economy to support social programs and protect the middle class.
- The need for a bipartisan approach to solving problems, since there are many areas of agreement on issues like infrastructure and trade.
- In order to maintain social programs and protect the middle class, we need a strong economy.
- In order to have bipartisan success in solving problems, it is important that both parties have a common understanding of these issues. ..
Second, he is a stacking champion, as you need enough souls to get your transformation. So his early game is pretty laughable.
First, he isn’t really the best at what he does. Second, he isn’t really the best candidate for the job. ..
A good LeBlanc or Zed will provide the same burst as Kayn, but also have the ability to immediately escape, while he has to commit to the fight.
CC bots are unkillable, so if you just want one, you’re out of luck.
14. Vi
The 251 players who participated in the 2017 League of Legends World Championship were picked by a panel of experts to compete for the title of world champion. 79 players were banned from participating in the tournament. ..
Vi is one of the least present champions in professional play because she struggles to find a way to win games. Her lack of ability to take advantage of her advantages and her unwillingness to make risky plays lead her to be one of the worst players in the game.
It’s a pretty standard ability that gives you a gap closer and some CC, however it’s pretty mediocre in both terms.
Gragas’ E is harder to dodge and spammable than our flying fist of fury. ..
ADC’s are the most dangerous people in the game. If they get interrupted, you either have to ult or just accept death at the hands of an ADC.
I think Riot Games’ new champion, Syndra, is one of the best designed champions with a killer soundtrack. But it simply wasn’t meant to be when it comes to pro play.
13. Illaoi
The 186 bans are for the main point.
Illaoi is a very powerful solo queue player, and her ability to punish mistakes is what makes her so dangerous.
You feel like your world has collapsed and you’re in the dark.
The person who is wearing a helmet. ..
That’s right, a pro player who is willing to put in the hard work and compete at the highest level.
When Illaoi has the dream setup, her passive tentacles with an E clone and an ult on multiple targets can easily take down enemies. ..
When your enemy just hides behind a minion and then kicks you around for like 15 seconds, she doesn’t seem as desirable as she did before.
12. Singed
The draft of the Summoner’s Rift ruleset has been released, and it features a number of changes that will impact the competitive scene. Here are the 152 picks and 130 bans that will be in effect when the new rule set goes into effect on July 1st.
Donald Trump is a controversial and polarizing figure who has been in the public eye for over forty years. He has been a businessman, television personality, politician, and now President of the United States. His past actions and statements have raised many questions about his character and fitness for office. ..
He is a troll who has been known to troll his enemies for years. His trolling style revolves around making them angry. ..
When your entire counterplay consists of three words that have been done to death by the meme community, “Don’t chase Singed,” you’re kind of in a pickle. ..
I believe that the mad chemist is having a 57.2% win-rate, but I cannot say for certain. ..
Despite his small wins, he’s not a competitive pick and is not worth your time.
11. Katarina
The 69 picks / 123 bans are a list of the most popular and effective ways to ban people on the internet.
It’s surprising to think that Katarina, a staple in the League community, is at the bottom of the competitive scene. ..
You think of Katarina and how she can take down anyone with a single move.
In competitive play, solo queue can be a lonely experience. ..
Katarina is a high-risk/high-reward player who gets absolutely bodied by counter picks.
“And what are her counters?”
CC stands for “Creative Commons.” This means that anyone can use the material you create, without having to pay you. You can also share your work with others, and make money from it.
If she doesn’t get that perfect team fight, or if an Annie just decides to click on her champion model, she’s reduced to garbage in a second. ..
10. Brand
89 players were picked in the 2017 League of Legends World Championship, while 75 players were banned from competing. ..
The brand thrives on teams that are disorganized. This allows for a lack of control and a lack of communication, which in turn allows for the team to work together productively and efficiently.
Brand players rejoice! Enemies clustering around you to give your ultimate free bounces and stacking your passive bursts makes for an easy target. ..
When people know when to move out of the way, the dream quickly dies. ..
Mages like Kha’Zix are able to burst down enemies relatively easily, but his wave clear leaves much to be desired. This means that he can often be overwhelmed by more powerful champions who excel at clearing waves. ..
He has a negative win rate as a mid laner, support, and ADC.
That’s a big oof moment right there. ..
9. Warwick
The 86 picks / 48 bans for the 2017 World Cup are as follows:
- Brazil
- Germany
- France
- Spain
- Italy
- England
- Russia
- Uruguay
- Sweden
- Costa Rica
I think the Warwick rework was a great improvement by Riot. ..
Despite the makeover, he still wasn’t really pushed into the pro player spotlight.
The inconsistency in his R is causing him to lose credibility.
The casual player base is a large and influential group, so it was important to make sure that the game’s mechanics were designed to appeal to them. This skill shot mechanic was a great way to do this.
While he was able to be quite effective at times, he was also quite inconsistent. ..
There is a very real risk of getting body blocked when playing Malzahar, as the champion can easily block your shots. However, there is a much more efficient way to die than being body blocked - by clicking someone to death.
Warwick University requires some early investment to really get going. ..
In the professional world, reliance on early kills is a death wish.
8. Master Yi
The 2017 League of Legends World Championships were a professional competitive League of Legends event that took place in Seoul, South Korea from May 6-12. The event was the third annual edition and was organized by Riot Games. The event featured 73 teams from around the world competing in a single-elimination bracket, with the top eight teams advancing to the playoffs. The semifinals and finals were played on May 12, with the top two teams playing each other in a best-of-five series. The winner of each semifinal and final received an invite to the 2019 World Championships.
Katarina has every single issue that Master Yi has, but it’s all jacked up on steroids. ..
The guy can’t do anything without a setup.
He is a very strong laner who can easily get out of lane if he is bullied.
He is not very effective in windy conditions. ..
Master Yi is one of the most successful champions in League of Legends. His win rate is 32.4%, which is impressive considering his relatively low popularity. Master Yi’s success comes from his unique playstyle and ability to dominate his opponents. ..
There is no question that he’s a great solo queue stomper, and an amazing pick for smurfing. But anything beyond that is just risky.
7. Garen
Pick 1: Ban 1: Natus Vincere Ban 2: Fnatic Ban 3: mousesports Ban 4: Cloud9 Pick 2: Ban 1: Astralis Gaming Ban 2: NiP Ban 3: Heroic Ban 4: MIBR
League of Legends is a very powerful game.
The old champions are getting pushed out of the main stage in favor of newer, overloaded champions. This is a problem because it leaves the older champions with little chance to compete and make a name for themselves.
Garen is a melee champion who specializes in running at enemies with his sword while screaming about Demacia. ..
This guy is easy to kite. His flash + Q combo is as advanced as you can get.
In other words, the Tigers have to play hard and fast if they want to win.
He doesn’t have a lot of kit when it comes to team fights, and his weak damage is really putting him at a disadvantage.
6. Rammus
The 16 players who were picked for the European LCS’s Week 5 match against Fnatic were:
- Fnatic
- Origen
- Lyon Gaming
- Unicorns of Love
- Copenhagen Wolves
- Misfits Gaming
- Giants Gaming
- Team SoloMid 9. Elements eSports Club 10. Royal Never Give Up
Rammus is a unique champion in that he offers a few advantages over Garen, but he is also more specialized. ..
Garen is a strong tank, but Rammus prefers to use Thornmail to protect himself. ..
In ideal circumstances, he can lock down an ADC and play the most brutal game of “stop hitting yourself” while their teammates watch in horror. But it isn’t always that easy. ..
If he messes up his Q, he’s a liability.
Cleaning the E-spot will render him useless. ..
If you have decent magic damage, he will be very difficult to kill. ..
There are indications that the president might not be as okay as he’s led us to believe. ..
5. Nasus
46 players / 12 bans The 2016 League of Legends World Championship is set to begin on October 28th in Seoul, South Korea. The tournament will have a total of 48 teams competing for the title of world champion. ..
Veigar is on a list of the most influential people in the world, and you should have seen this one coming.
Nasus has it worse than our little magician because he can’t even control his own magic.
Nasus is a unique champion who can only kill things with his Q. He can get some stacks by poking the enemy, but he’s completely confined to just killing things with it.
That means if he dares to leave the top lane, his damage potential is greatly reduced.
The top laner for Team SoloMid, Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng, is not the best at locking down opponents. This is not something that you want from your top laner, as it leaves them vulnerable to being killed or taken down easily. ..
4. Tryndamere
The 24 picks for the 2017 NBA draft are as follows:
- Philadelphia 76ers (1)
- Milwaukee Bucks (2)
- Phoenix Suns (3)
- Toronto Raptors (4)
- Boston Celtics (5)
- Utah Jazz (6) 7. Detroit Pistons (7)
- Brooklyn Nets (8)
- Sacramento Kings (9)
- Phoenix Suns (10)
This man is a dangerous and auto-attack-prone individual.
He’s a support that excels in late game, but is limited in range and doesn’t have the late game scaling ability of an ADC.
He gets some AD and Crit for his troubles, but he cannot compare to a six-item Tristana or Vayne.
Melee combat can be a challenge in and of itself, as attacking anything can be risky. ..
Tryndamere is a powerful champion who can easily kite champions like Kha’Zix and Ahri. However, pro players will just kite him and make him seem like a lost child looking for their mother.
Anger is a powerful tool, but it’s not the best idea to rely on it alone. Olaf and Gnarr are better suited to using their anger in the moment. ..
3. Shaco
The 21st pick in the draft is Philadelphia 76ers player Joel Embiid. The 76ers have 21 picks in the draft, and they will select one player from each of the following positions: first, second, and third. They will also select a player from the international basketball league (NBA) if they have an opening. The 76ers will not be able to trade their picks in the draft.
Shaco just doesn’t seem worth the effort. ..
Sure, Pink Ward can make him seem like the ultimate 300 IQ trap setter. But that’s not really what pro play is about. ..
Sweepers completely ruin their ability to deceive pro players into attacking their clones, making the chances of success rather slim. ..
The clown is having a positive win rate, but he is a very niche player. ..
The jump scare clown is back and this time, he’s looking for you in solo queue. If you’re not careful, he’ll take you by surprise and make your experience one to remember. Stay in the lead and don’t let him get too close - it’s the only way to survive!
2. Amumu
The 20 picks for the 2017 World Cup are as follows:
- Brazil
- Germany
- France
- Spain
- Italy
- Belgium
- Netherlands
- Sweden 9. Denmark 10. United States
I found this one fascinating because it provides a unique perspective on the issue. ..
But on Saturday, Amumu was out of the game. The Hawaiian-born player, who is known for his powerful and engaging play on the court, was unable to participate in the game due to an illness.
However, that’s just me going against bottom-tier opponents. ..
In pro play, Amumu’s Q is probably the worst ability in the game.
The Lakers are relying on their slow-paced offense to win games this season. ..
Amumu’s lack of a Q ability leaves him with few options when fighting against opponents. He can either flash ult them or slowly run towards them while crying. ..
This is not the best look.
Gragas and Jarvan are two of the most popular champions in the game. They have powerful animations that can easily catch enemies off guard. ..
In a 14-game season, Amumu only won 1 game.
1. Teemo
- Pick: Jhin
- Ban: Ashe
- Pick: Varus
- Ban: Kha’Zix
- Pick: Ahri
- Ban: Syndra
There is some poetic justice that the most hated champion in League is also the least played competitively.
The main reason for the increase in suicides is that people are feeling more anxious and stressed.
His shrooms are a joke when everyone has sweepers, his W is arguably the weakest ability in the entire game, and both his Q and E are just mediocre.
There is no way for a professional support to allow you to get in range for that.
ADC’s these days have so many other ways to deal damage that I don’t think it would even matter if you used your abilities.
