Now there is more 160 champions In League of Legends. Players are spoiled for choice and there is something for everyone. We find tanks, mages, fighters, shooters, support characters… Developers regularly eg. nor theVelvet or Renata Glask.
The diversity of professionals is often very limited, especially since the risks are much higher. Teams are doomed metagame And above all, we want efficiency to optimize our chances of winning. Despite the large number of matches played in China (the league played in Bo3 with 17 teams), two champions have never appeared in its entire history. LPL. But who are they?
Cursed Champions or Evil Champions?
The first champion to never play in the LPL is still an essential figure in the game: Teemo. Some admire the little yordle, others hate it. He may be cute, but his performance is very underwhelming against this character. He can constantly harass you with his weapons, his mushrooms give you nightmares, and his willful blindness is terribly effective. Not to mention its secret or its poison. But it’s still worth noting that Teemo is somewhat limited among the pros. Historically, it is a top level glider. In SoloQ it’s hard to beat Yordle if he can potentially live among the pros. He doesn’t add much to teamfights and is quite vulnerable in the lane phase. The lack of tanks and engagement means most players don’t take this into account when drafting.
The second champion is also a somewhat niche character. Although he is old and tough (at the top or in the woods) it is therefore conceivable that he has seen him at least once since the start of the LPL… However, Warwick remained in the kennel and Wolf did not never played in the Chinese league. However, he has a very powerful ultimate and has occasionally been part of the soloQ metagame. When we know that we have already seen champions like Ramus or Katarina…
And how are Teemo and Warwick performing in other top leagues?
Teemo Although hated by most of the community, he made numerous major league appearances (Big Four: LCK, LPL, LCS and LEC). we counted to the end GameOfLegends 8 appearances Between 2014 (Hai, Cloud9) and 2020 (Dan Dan, Misfits Gaming). Play anywhere, top, middle or bottom lane. However, let’s also mention that he has 3 wins despite his reputation as a top troll. FYI, they even played on Teemo worldsTSM was in Season 3 with Reginald.
Still Warwick, we really don’t understand why China avoided it. Seen 49 times at the highest level (including major international tournaments). We’ve seen this in South Korea, Europe and North America, only the LPL is missing. We all remember the Warwick ball from Darien (Gambit) back in the EU LCS days. But players like Joko, Xerxe or Jankos also revealed the wolf. With a win rate of 53.1%, he also has a positive rate… What convinces the players of the Chinese championship?
