For more than a decade,League of Legendshas been one of thebest MOBASin the world, and it still has millions of people logging in every day. The World Championship has been decided, and Season 12 has now come to an end, which means thatLeagueis about to introduce a number of changes. These changes will make certain Champions very strong, which means that they will be played a lot.

With more than 160 Champions, there are bound to be a few characters who are not picked very often, and that is because most players do not see them as fun or viable picks. Some of the lesser picked Champions deserve to be where they are because their kits are outdated, but there are other Champions who do not deserve their low pick rates.
10Braum
Braum has had a low pick rate in recent months, which is surprising because he is actually one ofthe best Supports inLeague.He is a very versatile tank, and in later stages of the game, he becomes incredibly hard to take down.
Braum is simple to play, as hisQ slows enemieswhile also dealing somemagic damage. He can leap towards an ally and they will both gain extra armor and magic resist, and he canraise his shield to intercept projectiles. His ultimate is great for team fights because it canknock up multiple enemies and slow them.
9Aurelian Sol
Aurelian Sol is one ofthe strongest Champions in the lore, and his kit is quite unique,but he has always had a low pick rate. This celestial dragon has literalstars circling his body, and theydeal damage to anything they hit.He canincrease their damage and speedby pushing them farther out.

Sol canfly across the mapwithout being impeded by walls.His Q creates a disc that expandswhile he moves with it, andit will stun and damage those who get hit by it. If heflies while this disc is active, it can grow to a monstrous size. Sol is great for ganking, and he is a surprisingly good farmer.
8Taliyah
Taliyah is a mage who can be used in the Jungle, but she is one ofthe hardest Champions to play, so it makes sense that her pick rate is low. Her combo is difficult to land, but it deals a lot of damage. She is also very squishy, and her survivability is low.
That being said, Taliyah is good during team fights becauseher Ultimate creates a long wall that can block the enemy from objectives, but it can also be used toseparate members of the enemy team. She canthrow an enemy into a minefield that can slow, stun, and explode, and she can then shoot a volley of rocks in any direction.
7Kennen
Kennen is primarily seen in the Top Lane, but he was not used much in Season 12. Kennen can clear minions and damage enemies by throwing a shuriken that applies to hisMark of the Strom passive, whichstuns a target after they get hit by three abilities.
He candeal extra damage and gain more stacks on his passive with his W, and he can turn himself into a ball of lightning which gives himextra movement and attack speed.Kennen is great for team fights because hisUlt creates a storm that strikes all nearby enemies. If done correctly, Kennen can stun and deal massive damage to the entire enemy team.
6Rek’Sai
Rek’Sai is best suited for the Jungle, but most players go for junglers who are tanky and/or damage dealers.She gains Fury by hitting things with her abilities, and her next three basic attacks deal extra damage. She can bite enemies, whichdeals double and True Damage with max Fury.

When she burrows, she gains new abilities. She canfire void-charged earth to reveal and damage enemies, she canknock enemies up while un-burrowing, and she cancreate re-usable tunnelsthroughout the mapthat she can travel through. Ganking is simple with her Ult because itmarks a target and allows Rek’Sai to lunge at the enemy while being untargetable.
5Kog’Maw
Kog’Maw still deals a ton of damage, yet his pick rate is abysmal. He is one of the only Champions who can be played AD or AP, and he can shred enemy Champions either way. Kog canshoot projectiles which deal magic damagewhilecorroding their armor and magic resist, it alsoincreases his attack speed.
Hisbasic attacks can gain more range and deal more magic damage, and he can spitooze which slows and damages every enemy who stands in it. His Ult shoots missiles thatdeal more damage to someone with low health. When he dies, he can move for4 seconds before exploding and dealing true damage.
4Quinn
Quinn can be an ADC or Jungler, but her main role is top, and she isincredibly mobile. She can deal an insane amount of damage, andwhen she hits Lvl 6 she can fly through the mapthanks to her bird, Valor. This bird willoccasionallymark enemy champions as vulnerable, and Quinn’sfirst basic attack will deal bonus damage.
This bird canreveal enemy Champions and make them vulnerable, which increases Quinn’s attack and movement speed. Valor can alsomark an enemy and hinder their vision while damaging other nearby foes. Quinn canslow and interrupt an enemy by dashing up to and leaping off of them. This combo is infuriating to play against.
3Skarner
Skarner has had an astonishingly low pick rate for years now, but that might change soon once he receives hislong-awaited rework.That does not mean that Skarner is a terrible Champion though, in fact he is a very decent Jungler.
He generatescrystals around the map which grant him bonus movement speed and mana regeneration. He can give himself ashield which also boosts his movement speed, and he canshoot a blast which damages and slows enemies. Skarner’s Ult is very useful as itsuppresses an enemy Champion, and he can thendrag the Champion towards his team.
2Rell
Rell is still a fairly new Champion, butshe is already receiving an updatebecause she is hardly played. This really does not make sense because she is an excellent Support designed to keep herself and her allies alive. She rides a metal horse which becomes her armor.

She cansteal an enemy’s armor and magic resist with basic attacks. She canattach a piece of armor to an ally, and they gain armor and magic resistThisbinding can heal both Rell and her linked ally,and if Rell lands a Q, it canstun enemies.HerUlt draws enemies towards her, and they are forced to follow her while taking damage.
1Kled
Compared toLeague’soriginal Champions, Kled is very unique, and he has an interesting play style. He rides a lizard named Skaarl, who possesses the majority of Kled’s health,Once that health is gone, Skaarl runs away,but Kled can get him back byattacking enemy Champions.
He may be small, but Kled is a Fighter, and he can deal an obscene amount of damage. He candash towards an enemy, and he can hook onto them, When he isdismounted however, he is much slower, and he gains a pistol which shoots him backwards, Kled’sUlt is great for team fights because he charges in a direction and rams into the first enemy he sees, andall allies get enhanced movement speed.
League of Legendsis available for Mac and PC.
