Hmmm. Hard choice. Most b tier champions are secretly strong af.

But lately I’ve found orianna to be super strong.

Annie potential teamwide stuns. instant Aoe E and R. Point and click Q. insane auto attack range that can proc klepto or sheen if you're feeling unorthodox. guaranteed burst when you land your stun. Build rylai's/lyandry's and tibbers does a bunch of burn damage. Easy to play. Q encourages good farming. She's amazing.

For someone with like a 55% winrate all the way to Master's it's a mystery how she only has a 2% playrate.

Annie is not underrated shes played consistently and people know she has a click on insta kill

124/145 in terms of playrate. 42/145 in terms of winrate.

Just curious, what would you consider "underrated"?

I linked you the website I've been using. Are you unable to make sense of graphs and lists?

no I just already know that Trundle has one of the lowest if not THE lowest playrate and annie has a decently high banrate which would cause her playrate to plummet, so my idea of "underrated" is far more logical than yours. (especially because of how high annies winrate is)

KeiagaOct 7, 20191 votes

Less than 1% banrate at a ranking of 115/145 is "decently high" to you? Alright then.

Trundle might have a slightly lower pick/banrate than Annie, but his winrate is equally as low so he's not really underrated, just bad in general.

annie has a pretty good winrate and a relatively low pick/banrate compared to how well she performs. So if you want to talk numbers, Annie is definitely more underrated.

But that term's all subjective anyways. Why do you think Trundle is so good even though his winrate is terrible? Is he deceptively effective despite how easy he is to play? Does he have a foolproof teamfight winning ultimate? Does he fill a niche that isn't performed better by other champs like Nasus or Tryndamere or Olaf?

why is trundle in proplay then :)

KeiagaOct 7, 20191 votes

I gave you multiple chances to try and convince me why he's underrated but you've never actually listed any reasons why you think he's good. So let me try to sum this up:

You think Trundle is an underrated champion, even though his winrate is equally as low as his playrate, just because he's sometimes picked in proplay and you can't form your own opinion? Yikes.

Fiddle mid. Much much stronger than jungle fiddle. Harasses a ton of melee matchups like talon and fizz. Very strong roaming and very good all around if you can manage his awful auto attacks.

My beloved Zílean Zilean is THE definition of Underrated. I can 100% state, that he is the Free Elo champ right now, no kidding. More in Support, than in Mid, Imho (He does have higher Wr in Mid, though). His kit is crazy, and no one realized... xD

Chogath without a doubt. This champion has one of the strongest burst combos in the game and is balanced around the fact that he is slow and relies completely on skill to execute his pattern. Not to mention that he gets physically huge and provides a significant intimidation factor when he gets stacked.

Riot generally tries to keep high damage and tankiness separate but I think they have really done a great job balancing his strong burst with the rest of his kit. The champion isn't considered OP because every meta going forward is going to rely on dashes/blinks to be the main flash point for League pro play. Anyone who has mobility can get away from Cho'Gath and prevent him from doing a full combo. So unless Riot does something to make tanks incredibly powerful he will be left alone and underrated.
