With underplayed I mean competitively underplayed.

I predict Brand and maybe Zyra.

I want to see more competitive Sona

FatalitýSep 6, 20151 votes

now that Darius and Skarner received a buff I think they might be picked, also another choice I probably would say would probably be Nocturne

Zyra yes brand no

Brand is worse version of viktor/Syndra and few more

The AP item buffs made him really strong, he's better than Viktor/Syndra for multiple reasons. I expect Brand more than Zyra tbh.

Syndra better aoe damage (YEP check the base dmg + scallins if you dont believe...) better stun (Yeah its better it can be used to pick off ) Single target burst CHECK! Better range (She can cast q and w while moving) Abilites easier to hit

Only thing brand has over syndra is the fact that rylai is stupid with his abilites. But then again rylai just offers slow

Syndra is the reason why I no longer play brand

plus he kinda became boring because he isnt combo oriented enough..

Brand has one of the wierdest buildpaths

this is a pretty ridiculous comparison. Syndra and brand have very little in common.

This is pretty ridiculous statement. Syndra is better version of brand

Brand is pretty good. If he gets ahead he just presses R and blows up an entire team, and even when he's behind he at least synergizes really well with Rylai's and he has a stun too.

would be the "surprises" to watch out for which have the best chance at being picked up.

I predict no way in hell for either of those(unless maybe the zyra buffs hit harder than expected and she jumps to 60% winrate,then maybe).

I'm not sure what underplayed means,zac isn't very popular,I guess we might see him.

Zyra with that 65% win rate on release.

Well zyra has a lot of weaknesses which are amplified in competitive play and non of which were addressed,if the ult buff makes her insanely overbearing on the counter-engage department there's a slight chance she will see competitive play but that would probably be with about >58% winrate.

Mind you I'm guessing the buffs will place her at ~54%-55% winrate,raise her pickrate to 2%,and competitive and high levels of solo q will still see her as a shit pick.

Also release zyra was 60% winrate I think,only 65% I've seen is skraner.

I realllly doubt Zyra will be seeing any real competitive play any time soon. She's so unreliable, has insanely high mana costs, and her passive is garbage even if you could hit it without the enemy team standing completely still. The fact that she's so unreliable with her huge delays and poor travel times alone makes her unviable for the LCS since unreliability is very frowned upon.

Being unreliable can work if you make up for it somewhere else,as can be seen with xerath,varus,and even old ap nidalee. Zyra doesn't do that however.

The only way Zyra gets picked is as a counter support pick or if UOL picks her. I don't think will show up either too risky. Now for some completely unexpected picks which would probably only come from UOL Akali Bard Cassiopeia Heimerdinger Kennen Urgot Velkoz Zac Ziggs and the devil himself Teemo

TDK used a bunch of "underplayed" champions in their last week of the regular season, and it paid off huge making me think that we could see some for sheer surprise value (one of the jg'ers during the promo tournament also used rammus, but I'll save that for another day). Aside from the obvious ones (juggernauts) who haven't been used all too much in the 5.15 patches, I'm thinking ziggs may see quite a bit of use as a way to get around what will sure to be tons of azir/diana spam.
