What this means
From the video: Vambient's breakdown, lightly cleaned from speech
So you can learn how to play bard and you can reach the apex elos with him fairly easy. Next champion will be Bel'Veth. Bel'Veth goes into seed tier.
I think it's changing a little bit with the rework but essentially got a 5% play rate. And only four challengers across the three major regions. I don't have any China data by the way.
So I don't know if I mentioned this before. I don't have any Chinese data. I'm hoping to change that up in the future, but we'll see.
And then 10 grandmaster grandmaster players on Bel'Veth. So essentially we will kind of I think Bel'Veth for the most part as a scaling champion is okay but currently I think the play style is a little bit gimmicky honestly like they the rework tried to make her into a scaling monster and try to cut her early game but cutting the early game in solo Q is very difficult for the champion overall. All.
So, I would say right now not too great of a champion to main. Maybe in the future as more players figure it out. Maybe better.
So, only four, only 14 players kind of representing representing with a pretty decent play rate in GM Plus. So, we'll kind of see how the it turns out. I'll keep an eye on this one specifically, but right now it's okay.
How this was measured
Two numbers, one division. First, how many players are currently in Challenger or Grandmaster maining this champion in Korea, Europe West and North America, from onetricks.gg. Second, how many ranked games the entire playerbase plays of this champion worldwide across every rank, from op.gg. The result is high elo mains per 100,000 games played, then reduced by the champion's ban rate, because a champion you cannot pick is a champion you cannot main.
This is not a win rate list and it is not a patch strength list. It measures availability-adjusted high-elo main density: how much Challenger and Grandmaster main representation a champion has relative to how often it is played. It is not the probability that maining this champion will get you to high elo. The score counts Challenger and Grandmaster mains only, drawn from a tracked pool that starts at Master; it does not include the Chinese server, and it counts accounts rather than people, so one dedicated player with several high elo accounts shows up more than once. Patch 16.15. The full plain English explanation, including everything this list cannot tell you, is on the main list page.
Popularity is not the signal. What matters here is how densely high elo mains appear relative to how often the champion is played.
