Champions Yet to be Played in Summer Split

Champions played in Summer Split (S8) - win rate, KDA, match history and more

Summer Split has probably been the most diverse split I have ever seen (whether that is good or bad is very much up to people's opinion), and because of this almost every champion has been played competitively somewhere in the world. Thus far only 13 champions are yet to see play: So which champions if any do you think we might still see before the end of the split, and why/why not?

Personally I think it is possible we might see or since late game adc's are on the rise. Also interestingly has received 3 bans despite not seeing any play (although admittedly this was earlier in the season if I am recalling correctly).

This isn't a sign of diversity. This is a sign of confusion.

If nothing else other champions are getting played. There is nothing negative about that.

The game seems to be in a lot of flux right now- but perhaps thats fine and just more fun.... maybe?

Its confusing if its fun or out of control. I guess those can both exist at the same time, but there must be structure for the game to be healthy. We'll see how it goes. I don't think anyone really knows what is happening right now.

Diversity is a very healthy thing, I think we've all seen lately that it can be a double-edged sword.

I think riot always preaches diversity- although I think we can all admit that currently riot doesn't seem to be exactly in control of game balance. Lots of reverts recently, nearly killed the adc role- I hear graves is the only jungle... which has been a thing forever now...

I just think its a facade of diversity atm. It doesn't make any sense that the game has been radically out-of-control for a while now, then suddenly it just magically balances. I also wouldn't look at na for the state of the game. Of course na is playing tons of stuff, we have no idea what is going on. We're a terrible region.

Diversity is good, but losing structure to gain diversity isn't good. Losing the adc role was bad, losing general game structure is bad. Even just game pacing is very important to at least somewhat control game length for broadcasting.

Fans need to know what the hell is going on without having to read a blog or something every week of lcs.

Diversity is fantastic, but used incorrectly we all know it can create division and be divisive as well. Such as what i've been hearing about swain/pyke botlanes or heimer/fiddle. Sure its diverse I guess, but certainly doesn't sound like fun. To watch or play.

All I'm getting at, is that this sudden no diversity to tons... smells fishy. The balance team clearly doesn't have enough control over the game to have accurately been able to facilitate this.... so what the hell is going on?
