Smolder is LoL’s most contested champion through Patch 14.4
He might still be a baby, but Smolder is already taking over the League of Legends solo queue ladder as one of the most prevalent champions in the pick-and-ban phase.
The Fiery Fledgling currently has both the highest pick rate and the highest ban rate among all champions in Platinum rank and higher, according to League stats aggregate U.GG. With a whopping 21.6 percent pick rate and a skyrocketing 38.8 percent ban rate through over 427,000 games on Patch 14.4, it’s clear that Smolder has shown his potential to thousands of players already.
