Most Overpowered Champions in League of Legends

In a game as large as League of Legends, with over 130 playable champions and counting, it is difficult to keep every character perfectly balanced. Even developers with years of experience can struggle to maintain balance in games with extensive character rosters.

With the inevitable imbalance of such a large number of champions to choose from, some rise to the esteemed ‘OP’ rank. Below are some of the most overpowered champions in the game currently.

Top Lane

Darius

Darius is an excellent choice for solo queue play. He is climbing through the ranks as a top champion, currently boasting an impressive 50.16% win rate. Even accounting for individual player skill level, it is clear that Darius is a champion to consider if you want to dominate the competition.

The ability that makes Darius so dangerous is his Hand of Noxus attack, dealing massive amounts of damage. Darius can use tank items to reduce damage taken without sacrificing his damage per second (DPS).

Yasuo

Yasuo, The Unforgiven, is another OP top-lane champion. Yasuo scales well as the game progresses, especially shining in the early match stages. His high mobility and burst damage make him lethal in one-on-one battles, and his mobility allows him to escape danger when needed.

Jungle

Xin Zhao

Xin Zhao is becoming a favorite character for carrying matches. Known as a snowball champion, Xin Zhao doesn’t need a multitude of kills to start dominating. After only a few kills, he becomes incredibly powerful, quickly dismantling enemy champions before they have time to react.

Mid-Lane

Zed

Zed has recently made a comeback. Previously less popular due to nerfs, Zed has gained relevance with recent updates. His damage output is incredibly high, making him a formidable force. His ultimate attack can bring down nearly anyone on the map, including tanks, making Zed one of the highest raw damage dealers in the game.

If you want to play as Zed, keep in mind he has a 9.13% ban rate, so you might miss out on occasional games if you choose him as your go-to champion.

Ahri

The nine-tailed fox, Ahri, has consistently been at the top of the charts. Though she’s had ups and downs, her Charm ability is now more useful than ever, allowing her to interrupt in-progress dash abilities. Escaping from Ahri has become more challenging, thanks to this recent patch improvement.

Bot-Lane

Ezreal

Ezreal remains on the OP list thanks to his high damage output and effectiveness in team play. His safe playstyle makes him difficult to defeat in 1v1 situations, cementing his spot as a reliable choice in the bot lane.

Conclusion

Riot is constantly working to improve character balance. However, this process often leads to certain champions being overpowered. As new patches are released, we can expect this cycle to continue as the game evolves.
