Commentary and Takeaways
Graves
A new bombshell enters the villa. Graves is making his debut among the most picked League of Legends champions in patch 14.23. We love that, especially after some fans thought they caught a glimpse of him as a background character in Arcane Season 2 (unfortunately, that wasn't Graves in the first episode). He fits well into the jungle and top roles, making him a favorite for players who like carrying games with high-damage champions
Caitlyn
The star of Arcane is dominating all other ADCs. With her long-range and strong poke, Caitlyn is an extremely good champion. Keeping in mind she's quite strong, we're not surprised she's among the top 3 most banned too. The nerf in the last patch didn't change players' attitudes toward Cait.

Teemo
Some find him cute, others find him annoying. The nerf wasn't enough to stop LoL players from banning Teemo left and right. His Noxious Traps (mushrooms) create map control and cause frustration by dealing surprise damage and slowing enemies, often turning fights, ruining escapes, and getting him kills from across the maps. Simply annoying!
Pyke
Pyke is back amongst the most banned champions. We get it - he's a menace in bot lane. This support offers some OP damage, stealth, and nasty healing. It's great to play as him but way less fun to play against him.

Ambessa
Ambessa's ban rate is still extremely high and you won't be able to pick her up in more than half of the Ranked games, even though she was adjusted in patch 14.23. Her win rate is slightly better but the pick one is extremely low due to the banning!
Ahri
Ahri is one of the most played champions in League of Legends due to her versatility, engaging playstyle, and amazing skins. Her high mobility allows for flashy outplays and safe positioning, while her charm provides reliable crowd control.
There you have it - the most popular and most avoided champions in patch 14.23. We'll keep an eye on these League of Legends champion stats for you, so tune back in soon!
