With a simple-to-execute kit, Lux’s combo potential allows her to score takedowns from afar, making her perfect at picking or poking at enemies.

Older brother Yone is just as popular as his younger brother.
Yasuo’s older brother Yone has joined some of the most popular champions in all of League of Legends. Like Yasuo, he’s able to make plenty of play and has a good amount of agency to solo-carry his game if he gets ahead. Yone lacks the infinite dash mobility that Yasuo has but makes up for it in his mixed damage, and powerful E ability.
1 – Ezreal
Fan favorite Ezreal is still one of the most popular champions to date.
Ezreal the Prodigal Explorer sees himself as the most popular champion in League of Legends. The ADC from Piltover wields a magical gauntlet that allows him to toss out skill shots galore, and also magically teleport out of danger. Ezreal has always had some presence in the meta, just due to how fun he is to play as. However, the champion benefitted greatly from the recent item changes, and now uses Trinity Force instead of lethality items to chunk out enemies.
