With 133 champions in the total pool and an average listed win rate of 40.28 percent, many niche picks may struggle compared to the top performers. While specific low-pick data is limited here, the S-tier champions show much higher individual win rates between 51.5 percent and 52.8 percent. It is generally safer to stick to high-performing champions like Kha'Zix or Ekko for consistent ranking.

Tier placements take both performance and presence into account, as seen with Diana reaching S-tier with a massive 47.4 percent ban rate and 51.7 percent win rate. High pick rates, like Viego's 18.6 percent, show a champion's reliability and popularity despite a lower 47.4 percent win rate. Champions with high win rates and relatively lower ban rates, like Volibear at 11.5 percent, often represent the best value for climbing.
