League of Legends offers one of the largest diversity in any video game when it comes to its champions. With more than 160 unique characters, it’s likely that you are able to find the one that matches your playstyle. But what were the most popular champions in professional play this year and why were they popular?
With the 2025 season already underway, we will be going over the 10 most played champions in the 2025 League competitive season.
First of all, let’s make a premise: the data gathered considers all the tournaments played during the 2025 competitive season, up until the date indicated in the title. The data will be updated once again before Worlds starts.
Tournaments played during the pre-season (like KeSpa cup or Demacia cup) are not taken into consideration. All data is provided by the data website Games of Legends.
While Wukong is not among the best junglers in the game, his skirmishing potential has become handy in the new season. Not to mention he has an AoE knockup on his ultimate.
With the rise of the tank build, Jayce was a priority top lane pick. Now that the build path has been nerfed, he will likely drop out of the top 10 soon.
If there’s an evergreen jungler in pro play, it’s Vi. Not only thanks to her tankiness coming from her build and passive but she has arguably the best engage option among all junglers. Who else has a point-and-click knockup?
The newest top lane champion continues to be a prioritized pick by pro players. Thanks to her high damage output and good mobility, she is great for teamfight skirmishes and potential outplays.
If you need hard engage, there aren’t many better choices than Leona. Her kit is designed to lock down targets and is much tankier than most engage supports thanks to her W.
One of the best blind ADCs in the game with good poke and decent late game scaling: Ezreal fits most team compositions and is a reliable champion.
Despite all nerfs and attempts at adjusting him, K’Sante continues to be the top priority pick in pro play for top laners. He’s the perfect weak side champion with incredible scaling. Hopefully, one day, the champion will no longer be a pick-or-ban in pro play. Not surprising to see Corki in the top places of the list. Not only is he a strong pick right now, but he can also be flexed between mid and bot lane. His poke potential and overall damage output are enough reasons for pro teams to prioritize him. Varus is one of those ADCs that offers a strong laning phase as well as good scaling potential. He can both go lethality poke build as well as on-hit, allowing him to fit into various team compositions.

She might not be the strongest champion in the role but her kit is reliable and provides lots of utility to any team.

1. Rell (318 games)
