Worlds Groups A & B total recap!
So groups A & B have finished up their group stage and we are soon to move on to Groups C (group of death) & D. But before we do lets look back on A & B and pull out all the statistics and find out which champs are getting picked, which ones are seeing success, and which champions are coming up short.
The first thing to look at is bans. Here are the top ten bans, for groups A & B (For the first time in a while,
is not on here)
84%
76%
60%

32%

Almost all these bans were targeted at solo lanes (and with the current meta, top lane was the heavy target)
Here's the pick percentages separated for each position:

So those Champs were picked the most, but lets take a closer look at their win rate and see how they fared on the rift.
(4 Games)
(1 Game) 100%

66.6%
50%
41.6%
33.3%
25%
0%!!!!!!!!(Despite having a 20% pick rate, the mad man of Zaun just couldnt find a foothold in the first two groups of worlds. It's also worth noting that 4 of his 5 losses were against Ryze. So what the pros learned (SK Gaming) is that if you run Mundo into Ryze, your gonna have a bad time!)

Win Rates:
83.3% So anyone watching the NA LCS Summer split cringed whenever a team picked Rengar, the trend being that he would continuously lose. Teams from other regions have proven there is alot of value in him, and the NA scene just needs to learn how to pick him up.

Vayne certainly deserves the MVP for the ADC group. Winning all three of her games, putting up big kill numbers, and even securing a penta-kill.

And looking at the win rates, here is the most successful team comp for groups A&B
(I know ZIlean only has a 75% win rate, and Kassadin & Katarina have 100%, but Zilean has played four games, so I'm giving it to him.)
