Any player who wants to in League of Legends these days can view champion stats. It is not difficult to know the speed or the popularity of a character. Transparency, which helps us play correctly and allows us to draw many conclusions about the game, has also played out at Riot Games. One of the most obvious is character popularity and the usual claim when you only see a chosen champion in 0.5% of games..
The least loved champion in League of Legends history
Currently, the least champions are Scarner (0.41%) and Aurelion Sol (0.49%). But the League of Legends developer revealed a few years ago that the situation was much worse. The lower ranked champions had a much lower pick rate than the two characters mentioned so far, before collecting as many stats.. If we look at the version before the 2017 version, it is especially bad in the case of Urgot, the least liked character in the story.
Describing the situation in his personal stream, Riot August began to explain the situation. “Old Urgot had A very strange skill set This fact must be taken into account. » he said he was a champion “Switch Between Sniper and Wear Wizard” especially who “It did not work”. This means their spells have more fun elements like the ending. “It didn’t make much sense to him” And no matter what position he held, he was stuck in a middle ground that didn’t allow him to fully reveal himself except when the Meta wasn’t quite in favor.
But the biggest problem was that he wasn’t a very funny character to most people. The champion played competitively for multiple spells and even led SoloQ matches with a winning streak, but failed to convince everyone. “If you see Jinks in the LCS game, you’ll want to play the Jinks game (…) If Akali’s win rate is 52%, you can bet everyone will jump. There are certain champions who are good, they will all play. Look at Kai’ Sa, everyone is looking for excuses to play with him (…)”.
Continuing to explain, August pointed out this difference and compared it to Aurelion Sol. Even when Dragon was very popular in competitive play or had a high win rate in SoloQ, no one wanted to choose him.. The scenario, although more exaggerated, is the same as that faced by old Urgot. He could literally win any game and no one would pick him because he doesn’t belong in League of Legends. His conflicting talents and misidentified role made actors unattractive to him.
In passing, it should be added that Urgot’s old design won’t be remembered as the most inspired design by Riot Games artists. Its redesign may distract the imagination from being a mechanical beast with human qualities, but it does so in a much more interesting way. That’s no lie and although he’s currently the most picked character in the game, Now selected in 2.8% of games.
