Aphelios, an ADC with promises to be the most complex champion to date, and who weeks after his launch has already attracted a lot of attention for being a very strong sniper. Now, let's talk about this great difficulty and whether Lunari is broken or not.
First of all, the possibility of bringing 5 different weapons with 5 different skills that interact with each other and with your Ultimate is something that opens up a great possibility for gameplays. Aphelios' playing style is constantly changing based on the two weapons at its disposal.

Olaf also has many very easy matchups in which he wins 1v1, such as against Gragas, Hecarim, Sejuani, Sylas and Skarner, making him a very good choice depending on the goal among the hunters.

In addition, his choice of runes is very flexible. He can choose runes aimed at explosive damage, or a little healing, or a lot of movement speed.
The main objective of Graves in the game is to be able to open a large farm advantage after closing the hit item, which causes him to be in a very large peak of power in the middle of the game (mid game).
Graves' popularity is based on his great ease in ending the monsters of the jungle, a good goal thief if he used his skills at the right time and in time control and a good gank in the early game, forcing good spells from enemy summoners.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTXKnh9prTs
LeBlanc Mid vs Yone - BR Challenger Patch 11.4
LeBlanc, not only is the fake the most chosen for the route, but it was the most impactful
Its strength is mainly due to its high mobility mixed with the possibility of eliminating an enemy quickly, even a more resistant opponent.
In all the victorious games, LeBlanc took advantage of a small advantage to guarantee a snowball to his enemies. When ahead, it is difficult to stop LeBlanc from murdering the most fragile targets.

5- Zoe
"No I do not like it."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxQXTyUbjIU
Zoe Mid vs Sylas - KR Challenger Patch 10.25b
Zoe has a great level 1 exchange due to her passive. You should not use the Q backwards always trying to hit it from the back, use it angled, for example, throw it to the side and throw it at the opponent quickly, it doesn’t do much damage, but at least it’s better than doing 0 damage. Never spend your E for no reason, just use it when you know you are going to get it right, or when you receive ganks. Zoe's W is a great tool for winning exchanges, pulling the lane and rotating. Zoe's Q activates the passive twice, once in the first cast and once in the re-cast.
Zoe's popularity is basically based on her consistent damage and her fantastic group control, especially with the sleep bubble, if you hit an important target and manage to burst.
The fact that Zoe has a very interesting complexity shows how banned and usable it is in the competitive. In other words, when we see a professional player playing with Zoe, we can be sure that we will see excellent plays, especially those in which there is a hit of "sleep" and damage from far away that destroys the enemy.
There were a total of 1100 picks, 1560 bans, 44% of the champion's presence throughout the competitive scenario of 2020.
81.5% popularity of the champion mainly in his rotation of lanes, and bursts in the enemy.
4- Kalista
"Armor does not overshadow our spears."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVVhqjlAAq0
Kalista ADC vs Miss Fortune - EUW Challenger Patch 10.25
After using Kalista on the Top Route at Chinese SoloQ, (in addition to an excellent display at the LPL), the champion became a competitive priority worldwide. At LEC, this was no different, as she appeared in literally every playoff game in the league.
With all the competitive success, including its flexibility at Top Lane, Riot Games decided to nerf Kalista in patch 10.8. In the update, the company drastically reduced the slowness applied to the “E” skill in the first levels, thereby considerably decreasing its exchange power. However, for those who still hope to use it on a route outside Bot Lane, a “Blood Blade” buff has been granted.
Kalista's popularity is basically based on its power of exchange and its slightly differentiated mobility, when compared to other champions, and so it was not left out in the competitive scenario, having excellent professionals using the character to do a lot of damage in all questions of attack power, route domination and exchanges.
There were a total of 899 picks, 1840 bans, 46% presence of the champion throughout the competitive scenario of 2020.
80% popularity of the champion mainly in his rotation of the top and bot.
3- Thresh
“Have you seen your own soul? I'd like to see her?”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DPQuPE9rgQ
Thresh Support vs Leona - KR Challenger Patch 10.25b
Thresh is one of the characters of the support class, most used in League of Legends. Bearing in mind that he is a very useful tank, whether it is time to protect his ally or to start a fight in, the character appears prominently in the competitive.
Tresh is used a lot by Pro Players from big names. Being a character, categorically sadistic, arrogant and cruel, Thresh has as his favorite pastime the imprisonment of souls in his lantern to torture the victims afterwards. The famous phrase "delight of agony" that he inflicts on his prey is based on the mentally and physically destruction of the opponent.
Tresh's popularity is based solely on his power to start a fight. Along with his attack combo, when he decides to engage an enemy, in a team fight, he ends up deciding many games and many battles. In the competitive scenario, Tresh stands out for being one of the most used characters by supportive pro players who shine with this champion.
There were a total of 1700 picks, 1670 bans, 56% presence of the champion throughout the competitive scenario of 2020.
80% popularity of the champion mainly in his rotation of the top and bot.
2- Varus
"The arrow of vengeance."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTMZqPVTab4
Varus ADC vs Kai'Sa - KR Challenger Patch 11.4
Varus is a fun and extremely strong champion, very easy to learn and very good in some game situations.
It is possible for you to make two different builds, the one that makes it a "hyper carry", where you combine the rune fatal rhythm with the items destroyed king, winch and limit of reason.
There is also the poke build, which you use the comet rune, combined with items of lethality and mana, maximizing the Q. This build is very bad against tank champions and with a lot of life, however, it is still the most viable in the game. The biggest advantage of this build, is that the cost of assembling is relatively low, where you start with dark Glaive, then Youmuu and Threshold of the night.
An advice? Take varus when on the other team you have Aphelios, Xayah and Caitlyn, they are champions that don't have much sustenance at the beginning towards the middle of the game, where if you manage to hit some "Qs", they make you go to the base, thus making you take advantage of a lot in farm and rotation.
The popularity of the varus in the competitive scenario is basically based on its team structure. That is, because he is a character with many builds, depending on the choices of the opposing team, the Varus user will choose the best build and rotation option, so he is an extremely strong, complex champion and when well played, hyper carry.
There were a total of 960 picks, 1500 bans, 42% presence of the champion throughout the competitive scenario of 2020.
78% popularity of the champion as the main point for his game builds and route cleaning.
1- Senna
“The wind can only speak, when it steals our breath.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0aT9uqnqk0
Senna ADC vs Kai'Sa - KR Master Patch 11.3
To give Senna a sense of escalation without having to rely on slaughter thefts, or using sniper items, RIOT decided to let it scale based on the amount of souls it collects, a mechanic similar to the passive of the Thresh.
However, instead of absorbing these souls, Senna uses his curse to bring the "Mist" close to him and free them from this torment (in the game, this means that he gives basic attacks on souls to get their strengths instead of walking) above them). With each portion of Mist that she absorbs, Senna becomes more powerful, accumulating the Mist's power in her weapon and releasing it in the enemies she attacks.
Senna's popularity is based on his extremely atypical style of play, when it comes to an ADC, a style of play where professionals can exploit to the fullest, making the champion, in a way, extremely strong in the middle towards the end about the game.
Despite her itemization being a little different from the other ADCs, Senna stands out evenly and even staggering more damage than many other snipers, which is why she is a very banned and desired champion in the competitive scenario.
There were a total of 530 picks, 1700 bans, 38% presence of the champion throughout the competitive scenario of 2020.
75% popularity of the champion, highlighting his extremely complex style of play.
