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 the League of Legends Ranked Solo Queue, according to op.gg.

10 – Lee Sin

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

Lee Sin is one of the most prolific junglers for players who love to make things happen in the early game. With a highly mobile and potent kit, Lee Sin is able to swiftly clear camps and gank lanes, getting them ahead before he’s eventually outscaled. The junglers ability to heavily influence the map early on in the game is near outmatched, and is perfect for junglers who are looking to carry their team.

9 – Brand

Riot GamesBrand’s synergy with items like Blackfire Torch are the reason why he’s so popular at the moment.

Brand has made a return as one of the most popular champions in League of Legends. This is likely due to the introduction of Blackfire Torch, a powerful DoT jungle item that makes his clear and damage ridiculously high.

An immobile and squishy jungler, Brand can dish out an immense amount of damage, and is likely the reason he’s so popular at the moment.

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 make 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 ultimately providing heaps of CC that is desirable on any team.

7 – Jinx

Despite Jinx’s immobility, players still thoroughly enjoy her kit, making her a popular champion.

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.

Whilst she can struggle in certain matchups, a well versed Jinx player can easily carry in a late game team fight, correctly kiting back and diving in for kills when she starts to get excited.

6 – Miss Fortune

Miss Fortune insane synergy with critical strike items makes her a potent ADC.

Miss Fortune’s hard-hitting auto attacks alongside how strong critical strike items like Infinity Edge make her popular at the moment. Her passive Love Tap lets her deal massive chunks of damage, all of which is further increased by critical strike damage.

Her ultimate Bullet Time is arguably one of the most iconic abilities in League, and can easily turn the tide of a team fight if placed well.

5 – 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, whose reload mechanic makes him play more like a burst mage rather than a traditional run-of-the-mill ADC.

4 – Caitlyn

Caitlyn’s exceptional range and ideal damage makes her one of the stronger ADCs out there.

Piltovian Sheriff Caitlyn lands herself as the fourth 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.

3 – Lux

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

The Lady of Luminosity scores herself the 3rd 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.

2 – Ezreal

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

Dashing Piltovian Ezreal is one of the most popular champions in all of League of Legends. Particularly fond in regions like Korea, the spell-slinging ADC is mobile, has great burst and poke, and is easily one of the most skill-intensive champions available in the MOBA.

While Ezreal doesn’t utilize critical strikes as the other ADCs do, his new build has been figured out, which has allowed him to re-enter the meta even if he can’t abuse Infinity Edge like other champions.

1 – Kai’Sa

Kai’sa stands as another ADC whos 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.
