What this means
From the video: Vambient's breakdown, lightly cleaned from speech
Twisted Fate, one of the solid options next to Syndra. Kind of works exactly like Gallo, but it's a little bit more versatile. Dopa frequently plays the champion.
He is now banned from League, but yes, there is that. Four challenger Twisted Fate mains and 12 Grandmaster ones. There is a top twisted fate player in EU West, I think.
His name is Arthur. And, yeah, so there's 4% 4% ban pick or ban basically 5% pick ban point less than 1% ban and 4% pick.
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.
