Top 10 Most Played Champions in Worlds Finals of All Time

As Worlds 2024 reaches its climax, let's explore the top 10 most frequently picked champions in previous Worlds finals.

Joint 5th place with 10 Games is a 6 way tie

Aatrox

Aatrox has risen to prominence over the past few years of professional League of Legends. In the last 3 finals, the top-laner has been selected in 9 out of 13 games.

Despite his dominating presence in regular season spring splits, Aatrox has been absent from this year's Worlds due to nerfs.

Ezreal

Ezreal has been picked in 6 of the 13 finals, making a grand total of 10 appearances. It should come as no surprise that early-released champions will contribute heavily to this top 10.

Gragas

Gragas was initially known for being a burst assassin played in the mid lane with Deathfire Grasp. However, his role and identity have evolved over time, leading to success on the world stage as a top-laner and jungle.

This item had an active that allowed Gragas and other mages to one-shot squishy targets. It was subsequently removed in patch 5.2 and is now only available in Nexus Blitz.

Graves

Similarly to Gragas, Graves' identity has drastically changed since his first appearance at a world final in season 2 as an AD carry. Although currently known as a farm-heavy jungler, Graves was primarily utilized as a top-laner during the 2021 Worlds finals, featuring in 4 out of 5 games in the series. He was a priority pick for both DK's Khan and EDG's Flandre.
