Top 10 Lowest Winrate Champions

Good evening summoners, and welcome to another Top 10 episode. Tonight we'll be exploring the Top 10 lowest win rate in all of League of Legends, relegated to the pits of failure, many of which used to soar high and mighty.

Introduction

Good evening summoners, and welcome to another Top 10 episode. Tonight we'll be exploring the Top 10 lowest win rate in all of League of Legends, relegated to the pits of failure, many of which used to soar high and mighty. 

Some of these champions are still strong favorites of players all over the world, but yet...something's going horribly wrong.

Note: All these champions are in fact, still viable, as even a 43% win rate signifies people ARE winning with them, and quite often too.

Note On Statistics

The stats above are from Lolking.net, and encompass the following:

• Normal games;
• All ranking tiers;
• Multiple servers. and
• All possible roles on that champion.

There are many reasons for low win rates, including:

• Champion difficulty;
• Low stat numbers on damage, speed, and/or durability;
• Everyone is just bad at the champion.

#1 Kassadin

Kassadin is a champion whose ultimate kept him at the very peak of performance for a very long time. The amount of map control he had at his disposal allowed him to easily come from behind to instantly snowballing a game in his favor.

Even after his ratios were nerfed and his silence removed, Kassadin still found great success using Iceborn Gauntlet. However, as nerfs piled on, he eventually died a slow death. 

#2 Elise

Another star child of a time long since passed, her low cooldown utility and early game dominance kept her at the top of the scene for a very long time as well. However, repeated constitution nerfs and reduction on the reliability of her CC left her broken. Even after holding the bottom 3 win rates for nearly a year now, there are still those who speak her name in reverent tones. Spider Queen.

#3. Leblanc

The most recent casualty of the group, Leblanc's rise and fall typically centered around popular items at the time, such as Deathfire Grasp and Luden's Echo. However, this time her fall came around from direct nerfs to her kit, resulting in a much more unforgiving necessity for perfect combos.

#4. Syndra

A comparably short lived popular champion in light of the three above, Syndra's popularity rose heavily with European players. With her supremely satisfying ability to one shot single targets combined with her low cooldown AOE stun, she was the epitome of high difficulty high reward. However, with nerfs to that AOE stun and her Q damage, she's since fallen out of favor.

#5. Azir

At last, a champion who is still highly exalted on the fields of justice today! Azir, the Emperor of Shurima, is similar to Syndra in that he's a low cooldown, high skill, high reward champion. As a champion who scales extremely hard into the late game but has trouble prior to that, many players have trouble managing his cooldowns before he finishes his full build, thus leading to early defeats.

#6. Olaf

Olaf is always an interesting case, since he's always been a top favorite pick for Korea. Peculiarly, he's actually somewhat middle of the pack in Korea, but still towards the lower end in terms of win rates. Against low mobility champions and champions that rely on heavy CC to survive he works very well. However, against high mobility high damage champions that seem to be the norm nowadays, he does suffer.

#7. Lee Sin

LEE SIN, Planet Earth's favorite champion. With his insanely flashy plays and strong potential mobility, the highlight reels make everyone want to play him. However, even platinum players with over 100 games played on Lee in ranked still only manage to squeak out a paltry 49% win rate. Well it's better than 46% I suppose!

#8. Twitch

Twitch is one of those extremely high potential champions that can perform insanely well on clustered champion groups, just not as well as Jinx since she gains mobility on kills and assists. However, with no true escapes and relatively abusable early game, he's fallen behind on the power scale.

#9. Dr. Mundo

This one actually comes as somewhat of a surprise, as you would think a champion dealing percentage based damage would do relatively well against all the tanks on the field. However, all his stats are fairly weak all around and seems like while Mundo goes where he pleases, the enemy team largely ignores his call for attention.

#10. Lucian

Last up is Lucian, a champion many still consider to be completely viable, if not still strong. With his amazing mobility and strong poke damage, he's a tried and true contender in the hands of many AD carry mains. However, he's indisputably weaker since his peak, and shows signs that a buff or nerf reversion may be necessary.
