What this means
From the video: Vambient's breakdown, lightly cleaned from speech
So, Kled is going to be okay to main. This champion has been pretty strong. He had a pretty decent showing at MSI.
Broken Blade definitely played him to beat SKT. So, very strong showing and SKT is a pretty good team as we all know. They've been world champions multiple times, so we know they're they're one of the best at least.
Can't really argue with that. He has two challenger mains and four GM mains, so he's not in the strongest of spots right now, but he is okay. So, if you do like Kled, if you do like how he plays, then you can definitely get really high with him.
I think right now in NA, at least there's Captain Bear, and there might be someone in EU. I'm not too sure if there's another player in NA who is as good on Kled. So yeah, just off the top of my head looking at leaderboards.
Not even looking, just remembering.
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.
