Blind Pickability of Highest Presence Champions in Pro – Patch 10.16
This chart shows all of the champions with 50% or higher presence (pick + ban rate) in patch 10.16 in the top 4 esports leagues, compared against how often they are blind picked (chosen before the enemy champion in their role) or counterpick (chosen after the enemy champion in their role).
Caitlyn is 100% pick/ban and 100% blind picked. Graves and Renekton have also been blind picked in every game where they were played.
Nidalee, Tahm Kench, and Gangplank have been seen a ton, but are often picked after they know their matchup.
You can see these numbers for all champions and any set of leagues you’d like in the Oracle’s Elixir champion stats explorer.
Team Liquid vs. FlyQuest, LCS Summer Upper Bracket Finals Preview
Team Liquid and FlyQuest have similar profiles: both have well-distributed talent across their roster, primary carries in the Mid lane, control-oriented Junglers, playmaking Supports, and a preference for winning through mid-game team fights and objective control. During the regular season, the teams split their games 1-1. In last week’s matches, Liquid took our Golden Guardians 3-0 while FlyQuest dispatched Cloud9 3-1. With so much similarity, from recent form to play style to head-to-head, it’s almost tempting to make a 3-2 series prediction with a coin flip to pick the winner and say we’re just hoping for some high-quality games…
Okay not really. Well, yes, I’m hoping for high-quality games, but I actually think there’s a decent favourite here.
