5. Kalista
Main role: Botlane | Pick rate: 1.51% | Win rate: 47.75%
Kalista has the second-lowest win rate on this list, which is likely due to her high skill cap. Due to her unusual auto-attacks, Kalista is incredibly difficult to play. She connects with a partner and uses them later for her ultimate.
This is best with a tank, which the supporter does not always guarantee. She is one of the champions that require the most communication with the team. Additionally, she seems difficult to balance, as once she is strong, she is a true monster in the pro scene.
4. Ivern
Main role: Jungle | Pick rate: 1.37% | Win rate: 50.71%
Ivern is a unique jungler who does not attack jungle camps but befriends them. This allows him to farm differently than other champions. Additionally, he acts as a supporter who can kill difficult opponents alone, as he is often built with support items.
His uniqueness was taken from him by Riot, and Ivern mains were upset. His small rework also does not seem to have improved his pick rate, and typical jungle players seem to want to play something more aggressive right now.
3. Renata Glasc
Main role: Support| Pick rate: 1.09 % | Win rate: 50.37%
Renata is a relatively new supporter but has a high skill cap. She does not have exciting abilities that look flashy, but focuses on shielding and a unique CC spell. However, she is also not tanky, which makes tank supporters with their CC easier to play.
Her W is also unique and can prevent the death of her teammates, but coordination is important here as the teammate must react to the W and kill an opponent as quickly as possible. Her ultimate can also be very strong since opponents attack each other. However, due to the short duration, this is also a difficult spell to use.
2. Corki
Main role: Midlane | Pick rate: 0.97% | Win rate: 47.52%
Corki has the lowest win rate on this list. This is probably one of the biggest signs of his low popularity. He simply does not fit into the current meta. His abilities also require skill, and his item builds and playstyle are unusual compared to other current midlaners.
At the same time, everything about his design screams old League of Legends. He does not look cool and flashy like other champions but is a small man in a rickety airplane. New players will likely not pick him out of sheer disinterest at first glance.
1. Skarner
Main role: Jungle | Pick rate: 0.79% | Win rate: 50.55%
Skarner is a champion who has been incredibly unpopular for years and has not gained any popularity even after his small rework. In his areas on the map, he is really strong, but to take and hold them, one needs map control.
His team is essential for this, and his ultimate can really shine only with his team. Similar to Corki, his design is no longer modern, and his skins do not improve this either. Fortunately, Riot is currently planning a rework for Skarner.
The explanations for the unpopularity are just our speculations and interpretations of the numbers. There can also be many other reasons for the unpopularity of the champions listed here. The pro scene can also influence the popularity of champions.
