Where are they now?: Champions

You know I haven't been playing league for too long but i'm scrolling down the champ select list and i'm noticing these pretty good champs that can do a ton of damage but they are hardly ever picked.

Champs like for example:

  1. Yorick
  2. Nunu
  3. Syndra
  4. Swain
  5. Urgot
  6. Viktor
  7. Zilean
  8. Galio ( sorry i forgot about this guy ) Where are they ? Did the league community decide to lock up these champs because they weren't interesting to play with ?

When Urgot was played in last year's LCS, he was a mid laner. Top and mid fit him better than bot because he's basically an AD caster bruiser.

You're lucky never to see Syndras or Viktors. They're really strong, especially Syndra in lane.

  1. getting a rework this year, not pick because his kit lacks purpose

nunu is cancer, be grateful

syndra is ballshit too

yorick isnt in the free rotation so everyone forgets him

swain is god tier with experience but has a lot of downsides but the recent nerf hurt him

urgots a meme, it took an lcs player playing him okish to make people stop bashing him for a while. hes a great anti carry and i think he is a perfect champ against all ad people

zilean is super good, never ever let anyone say otherwise EVER. why he isn't played is beyond me, his support is super good and you don't even need to build ap

i think viktor is super cool, but i think most people give up trying to get the hang of his laser

Galio is one of my mains, so I play him often enough as mid, and occasional top last season.

For this season I plan on continuing with Galio, and adding in Swain and potentially Nunu into my champion pool.

I think a lot of people focus on what is currently considered OP/broken, while i've always just focused on what I enjoy, find fun, and is in my skill range.
