League of Legends (LoL) has one of the largest rosters of any MOBA game, with over 140 unique champions. Riot Games has been consistently adding new champions to keep the game fresh and exciting. However, this constant addition of new characters has made some of the older ones obsolete.
Here we have the 10 least-played champions in the Challenger rank of LoL, based on games played and pick rate according to LoLalytics’ data. We will also look at the 10 least-played champions in all ranks.
Least-played League champions in Challenger
Based on their games played, the following champions have the lowest pick rate in the Challenger rank:
10. Vi – 142 games
9. Fizz – 141 games
8. Yuumi – 141 games
7. Jinx – 133 games
6. Swain – 124 games
5. Kayle – 121 games
4. Singed – 116 games
3. Xin Zhao – 105 games
2. Sion – 103 games
1. Quinn – 102 games
It’s worth noting that some of these champions, like Jinx and Yuumi, are more commonly picked in average rankings but not so much in the Challenger rank.
While the opinions of Challenger players hold weight, it’s important to remember that you can still succeed with these lesser-picked champions if you master their mechanics.
