These champs are among the most underrated and underplayed and least mentioned champs in the game. I'm aware there might be someone like GP or MF or Shen who could hit the list too but they're all getting some major changes soon so I didn't bother since it might completely change how people see them.

Personally I don't play most if not any of these guys commonly, not because I don't like them but for the most part I suck with them and can never get the hang of them (except like yorick because he's easy as shet)

The one im most interested in hearing about is Elise I do really bad with her mainly because i've never been good with her even since her release. She fell out of flavor after a ton of nerfs. I really enjoyed playing against her and with her even when I sucked at her so i'm not biased.

Some of these champs I really hate (Fiora/Swain/Yorick) but would still like to see something done with them. Riot spends so much time helping the champs that are already doing perfectly fine instead of giving a hand to the ones at the bottom of the bottom.

I know they've been sorta trying to do that but imo they should just make a separate Board page with threads for each champ. Lock the board so nobody can make their own threads and have each personal thread to its own champ "Aatrox discussion thread" "Elise discussion thread" etc. from A-Z and notice how the champs I listed will be on the front page because of the amount of love people want for them. Even if they're a WIP atm we want to know these things. We want to hear "Hey, we've got a ideas for a Zac skin but it's a long ways off still" or "We've thought of a good idea for yorick try not to get too spooked!"

Instead of saying "Oh, GP is next in line for a rework" Tell us "GP's new kit is coming along great" or "GP's rework is almost ready to set sail" etc. etc. just give us something from time to time.

Back on topic anyway, we need some discussion about these champs

Why is Swain up there?

He's played in 4% of NA games.

I understand all of this, and they are doing things for some of these champions.

Poppy's getting a rework. Taric is getting a rework.

Other than that, I would just point out the champions strengths to see if more people would play them.

To be fair, I think Cass has seen a lot of pro play.

I think Lux is pretty underplayed. Maybe it's just me though.

Yep, i'm one of the few people who use Quinn as my main AD carry. And I can tell you this, she does pretty well if you know what your doing.

Most people follow the same mentality with her and call her bad. "Ults, dives 1v5s and dies, claims champion is bad, QQ's on forums" Its obvious you shouldn't dive 1v5 with it. Its best for chasing down stragglers after a fight or roaming mid for a kill.

Quinn does have a pretty high skill cap and requires alot of brainpower to use unlike alot of other AD carries who just right click whatever they want. Quinn is more of a champion to burst someone down in a fight and then chase down whoever got away afterwards.
