If you really think about it, the balance of League of Legends is almost miraculous. Of course, there are champions with very powerful or hindering mechanics. but, Surprisingly, the difference between the best characters on the qualitative list and the very bad ones is only a few percentage points.. It’s true that we complain when things go wrong and a team of experts work on it, but when we pay attention to the details, we understand how difficult Riot Games is.
Least Dead Champions
This time we decided to focus on what needed to happen. One of the most important stats for winning the game: don’t die. This issue has even been noted by Riot Games, who claim that survival is one of the keys to long-term ranking. statistics show that Players at the top of the ladder give their opponents 1.5 fewer kills on average. This makes a lot of sense, because most of the time when our competitors catch up to us, it’s because we made a mistake.
Before we continue, let’s take a look at this special list of the least lethal champions in Summoner’s Rift.

The first thing we see in this ranking is what we expect. Yuumi is the safest (and most hated) character in League of Legends, and when she dies, it’s usually because her teammates put her in this predicament. But here are the surprises. A very easy character to hunt, Xerath comes in second place thanks to its extremely long reach. Although he can shoot us from afar with his abilities, he is not the only champion with these characteristics, and other similar heroes like Velkoz rank much lower. Moreover, it is surprising how little the difference is between him and the kitten.
Zack, who can revive with his pass and who is also the champion who heals the most in League of Legends, does not surprise us in third place. No more than LeBlanc, fifth, because it only takes a few games to realize that he is so difficult to beat. Shen’s fourth stance is a little more surprising, an unassuming tank in the most risky positions during combat. However, his good survivability is likely due to him jumping into fights to turn things around, and sometimes opponents are already spending their highest cooldowns.
If we look at the win rates of all characters, we can draw several conclusions. First of all, it is true that survival is very important when it comes to winning games. The numbers may be higher, but keep in mind that these champions are generally well balanced. Only LeBlanc has a lower rate, but it’s temporary. In fact, he’s been the most notable champion in any competitive game over the years.
It is also very easy to compare. When we did the opposite, we found the characters with the most kills in League of Legends, none of them achieved a 50% win rate. However, if we go back to our initial thinking, the result is very surprising. Champions with the highest survivability perform better in games, with an average percentage difference of just over a point. (Considering only champions in the lead role). This is where the Riot Games miracle comes in: Characters who die an average of eight times per game earn as much as characters who die only four timesBoth groups therefore have valid champions.
