Commentary and Takeaways
Kai'Sa
While Jhin is keeping his first place, Kai'Sa manages to dethrone Jinx among the most popular champion pics in LoL. Thanks to her high burst, mobility, and hybrid playstyle, Kai'Sa is definetely one of the best champs to play in Ranked if you want to climb.
Garen
Garen is making his debut on the list of most played League of Legends champions. This isn't surprising as he's preforming insanely well in the current meta. Plus, he's very easy to play.
Caitlyn
Caitlyn is losing some of her popularity but she's still present in both lists. She's bringing huge range to the Summoner's rift, allowing her to bully the enemy opponents easily.

Morgana & Blitzcrank
Morgana and Blitz have been skyrocketed to the top op the most banned champions chart. These two are a complete nightmare in the bot lane and they have always been like this. We don't remember when was the last time that all supports didn't fear Morgana's Dark Binding and Blitz's hook.
Pyke
Pyke is another scary support. This is his debut on the most-banned list and we can tell why - he has insane damage, stealth and OP health regen. Playing against him could feel quite unfair at times.

Aurora & LeBlanc
These two are getting closer to the bottom of the most-banned list. They're still pretty decent in the current meta but it seems like they're not as feared as they used to be.
There you have it - the most popular and most avoided champions in patch 14.18. We'll keep an eye on these League of Legends champion stats for you, so tune back in soon!
