What this means
From the video: Vambient's breakdown, lightly cleaned from speech
Lulu, similar situation. Zero challengers, seven GM players on Lulu, with a somewhat similar pick ban, kind of distribution. So, 4% ban and 5.6% 6% pick.
Lulu is going to be one of those champions that you kind of it depends like there's going to be other support options later on the in the in the charts that are better. So, I would say definitely consider that those options if you were to pick a support main. So, yeah, definitely consider not going with Lulu for now.
But yeah, I will go over the other ones as they come up cuz that's going to be a little bit later.
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.
