Riot Games

League of Legends offers players over 160 different characters to play around with, however, some are far more popular than others. Here are the top 10 most-played League of Legends champions in Ranked Solo Duo.

Riot’s popular MOBA League of Legends is a pretty old game. Released back in 2009, the title has been slowly updated through the years, releasing new champions to keep players enticed and entertained. With the amount of variety available in the game, and only 10 slots per game, there are definitely champs that have stood out as the most popular.

The list below details the most popular champions in League of Legends Ranked Solo Queue, according to op.gg.

10 – Ezreal

Fan favorite Ezreal is still one of the most popular champions to date.

Ezreal the Prodigal Explorer sees himself as one of the most popular champions in League of Legends. The ADC from Piltover wields a magical gauntlet that allows him to toss out skill shots galore, and also magically teleport out of danger.

Ezreal has always had some presence in the meta, just due to how fun he is to play as. He’s particularly potent in the hands of players who like to take risks and be rewarded, and is especially popular in Korea.

9 – Jhin

Jhin’s burst and high damage makes him a powerful ADC.

Sniper marksman Jhin is understandably one of the most popular champions at the moment. With his bursty tool kit, he’s able to deal massive amounts of damage while providing a good amount of utility to his team.

Jhin’s just a really fun and unique ADC as well, who’s reload mechanic makes him play more like a burst mage rather than a traditional run-of-the-mill ADC.

8 – Ashe

Ashe’s utility and DPS output makes her a great champion for solo queue.

Ashe is one of the less familiar faces to the most popular champions in League of Legends. Her superior kiting ability but lack of mobility makes her a volatile pick in a solo queue environment. With that being said she offers immense amounts of utility for her team with her slows and ultimate providing heaps of CC that is desirable on any team.

7 – Kai’sa

Kai’sa stands as another ADC whose mixed damage and high outplay potential make her popular among players.

Kai’Sa has been one of the most popular champions in League of Legends since her release. The evolving ADC has an extremely overloaded kit, complete with an attack-speed steroid, invisibility, an on-hit passive, a long-range dash and shield, and much more.

Kai’Sa’s incredibly overloaded kit and her ability to make plays have cemented her as one of the strongest champions to pick, especially in an environment as volatile as solo queue.

6 – Yasuo

Yasuo has always remained one of the most popular picks in League of Legends.

Yasuo takes the sixth slot on our list of popular champions. The wind wall slashing samurai is the bane of every ranged champion, quickly closing the gap and unleashing devastating critical strikes that can quickly take down a backline.

5 – Caitlyn

Caitlyn stands as a strong and capable ADC that works well in the hands of skilled players.

Piltovian Sheriff Caitlyn lands herself as the fifth most popular champion at the moment. With high range, good damage, and the ability to make plays, Caitlyn is a deceptively powerful champion in the hands of the right player.

The ADC is able to bully other opponents out of lane, dipping somewhat in power in the mid-game and coming back as a strong carry in the late game. With satisfying combos, a nice visual aesthetic and a chipper British accent, there’s no doubt players adore Caitlyn.

4 – Yone

Older brother Yone is just as popular as his younger brother.

Yone takes up our fourth slot as the most popular champion in League of Legends. Brother to Yasuo, Yone deals high amounts of mixed damage, has ridiculously good scaling, and just generally doesn’t need to land skillshots to still instantly kill you. A capable fighter, Yone is able to separate himself from his body, able to apply a death mark to enemies.

On top of that, Yone has a fair amount of skill expression which rewards players who put time into him.

3 – Lee Sin

Lee Sin’s powerful capabilities as an early game jungler makes him an attractive pick for solo queue.

Lee Sin has soared up in popularity to play in ranked. The early game fighter can take over games in an instant provided the player has the skill for it. With massive play-making potential in his kit, players love to pick Lee Sin to show off their stuff as well as earn some LP in the process.

2 – Lux

Lux maintains her spot as a popular champion pick for ranked.

The Lady of Luminosity scores herself the 2nd most popular slot in League. With a simple-to-execute kit, Lux’s combo potential allows her to score takedowns from afar, making her perfect at picking or poking at enemies. Lux, who was originally a mid laner, is being played more in the support role currently, as her poke, snare and shield allow her to effectively assist her ADC to get through the laning phase.

1 – Jinx

Jinx has once again become the most popular champion in all of League of Legends ranked.

ADC Jinx has become the most popular pick to play in League of Legends ranked. The immobile hypercarry relies on getting resets in team fights, wreaking havoc as she chases down the remaining enemies. Jinx is very prone to having her numbers be a tad too high, and as a result instantly becomes one of the best champions to pick.
