January's top played League of Legends saw Jinx claim the crown yet again but will the
Loose Cannon be able to fight off the competition for a second month running?
Top Played Champions - February 2014 - Thresh The Chain Warden failed to make any real impression
on our lists throughout 2013 but he started this year strong with his highest finish since
we began our lists. Sadly however Thresh was unable to maintain his 6th place finish from
January, almost disappearing from sight completely as he sits in 10th place for this month. Despite
the disappointment things aren't looking all that bad for Thresh as he enjoyed a 52% victory
rate in February, making an appearance in 22.1% of matches.
Top Played Champions - February 2014 - KhaZix The Voidreaver makes his second appearance
in the top 10 this year maintaining his January finish of 9th place. Kha'Zix had an incredible
start to February, picked in as many as 41% of all matches in Summoner's Rift. Sadly the
popularity was shorted live as Kha'Zix found himself slowly dropping down the rankings
as February continued, finally resting on an average appearance rate of around 13%.
Top Played Champions - February 2014 - Master Yi
Master Yi enjoyed a successful campaign in 2013 but has yet to match his peak in 2014
as once again he struggles to maintain a spot in our top 10 resting in a lowly 8th place
finish for the second consecutive month. It's unlikely Master Yi will ever return to the
form he saw with the "New Yi" fiasco last year, in which he scored a 1st place finish
by a quarter of a million matches, but it's safe to say we can expect to see him make
a regular appearance throughout 2014.
Top Played Champions - February 2014 - Blitzcrank Blitzcrank was all but absent during our lists
in 2013 as he struggled to maintain any higher rankings throughout the year. The Steam Golem
started 2014 ready to brawl as his first appearance of the year saw him secure 4th place. However
the popularity fall is all too familiar for the mechanized destroyer as once again he
struggles to remain popular among the League of Legends community.
Top Played Champions - February 2014 - Leona Leona had a slow start to 2014 but it was
still a hell of a lot faster than 2013 where she failed to make any real impact at all.
February sees The Radiant Dawn make her debut appearance for this year, claiming a respectable
6th place finish. A spike in popularity during the middle of the month saw Leona appear in
40% of matches while maintaining a strong 53% victory rate.
Top Played Champions - February 2014 - Jinx Jinx entered the League of Legends community
as one of the most popular Champion releases since records began and despite a surprising
drop in December she pulled through and took the 1st place finish at the start of 2014.
That random drop in popularity seems may be a little less random than we thought as once
again The Loose Cannon drops several places down to rank 5.
Top Played Champions - February 2014 - Ashe The second of our debut Champions for February
2014 sees the unexpected appearance of Ashe as she sneaks ahead of Jinx with a tiny 1000
match lead. Ashe enjoyed regular features throughout 2013 but despite claiming the top
spot as her first appearance last year she's since failed to make an impression on the
League of Legends community. It's unlikely that a Champion so old and so easily played
will make any big impact this year but we're sure we'll be seeing her from time to time.
Top Played Champions - February 2014 - Teemo Can I just skip this one? I'm really sick
of writing about Teemo. Unlike many of the other Champions featured this month Teemo
didn't see any random surges in popularity in February, instead he enjoyed consistency,
achieving a 23% selection rate almost every day. It doesn't take a genius to figure out
why The Swift Scout remains so popular in the League community but that doesn't stop
me hoping that one day he'll just disappear into a dark chasm of death and despair.
Top Played Champions - February 2014 - Yasuo The Unforgiven Champion wasn't released into
the League of Legends community until December of 2013 but things are looking good for Yasuo
as he appears for a second time in 2014. Rising 5 places from his January finish the deadly
swordsman finds himself just a few thousands matches short of pole position for this month.
He's not quite on par to match the popularity of Jinx at release but it's an impressive
start nonetheless.
Top Played Champions - February 2014 - Lee Sin
One of the most popular Champions throughout 2013 continues his dominance into a new year
with Lee See claiming top spot for February 2014. The incredible popularity surge following
Jinx's release kept Lee Sin from claiming 1st place the last few months but February
could be the turning point for the Blind Monk as once again he takes the grand prize.
The debut of two new Champions, a sudden drop in the previously unstoppable popularity surge
of Jinx and a return to the top for Lee Sin. Plenty of surprises in February but be sure
to check back next month for the latest on the top played League of Legends Champions.
