[2021] Here's every single champion mains subreddit ranked from least to most popular based on the number of members

It's always been funny how neekomains is so popular but neeko herself is one of the least popular champs in league.

If you filter on most unpopular you get

1. Aurelion Sol

2. Skarner

3. Neeko

4. Taliyah

5. Udyr

This is plat+ soloq though, curious what metric is used to say "FAR" from the most unpopular.

Originally posted by mazrrim

Does the really small line going right then up mean there are a really small number of neeko players who play her a ton (~2.2x more than the average player of a champion?). Do all champions have a similar branch off.

How does this graph have multiple data points for Breadth in general, especially with multiple data points on the same Breadth? How can Neeko have a Breadth of ~1.1 and for this Breadth also have a depth of both ~1.18 and ~1.3

Hey Reav3, can you please send me current state of Dr. Mundo, Nautilus, Volibear and Mordekaiser? Thanks a lot in advance if you do, would help a lot right now!

Originally posted by Spideraxe30

Could you share the B/Ds for this year's releases so far like Viego, Gwen, Mundo etc, was there a marginal increase in engagement from releasing champs tied to one another

Originally posted by mazrrim

ah I see, is this a continuous line for each patch since launch? What does the thickness of the line indicate?

It would also be a lot easier to visualise if there was a direction arrow on the line if the patches since release thing is true.

Originally posted by Spideraxe30

Are you happy with where champs have landed so far this year? Since engagement at least seems pretty solid so far.

Originally posted by YandereYasuo

Who is the top-right thin yellow line, being the most popular release?

Originally posted by YandereYasuo

Interesting to see Yasuo and Lux being really close for the #1 spot. Has Yasuo ever been dethroned for being the most popular champ?

When can we expect another champion roadmap?

Originally posted by KitabuNagato

Hey Reav3, good to see you back again. Hope you didn't get harassed because of the sentinels event

Originally posted by NeitherDistribution0

And hopefully excludes ARAM or rotating game modes, correct?

Originally posted by Amy_Amell_4

Any chance you could show Jhin's position on the graph? It's okay if not. :) I'm just really-really curious since I wouldn't be playing League if not for him.

Originally posted by Darkened_Auras

Hey Reav3, last I heard Rek'sai was in the top left, the niche category. Is she still up there?

Originally posted by Spideraxe30

Could I ask what projects Maxw3ll and Twin Enso are working on now

Originally posted by Dm_Me_TwistedFateR34

Can you show TF's position on graph? I'm curious

Originally posted by Spideraxe30

I also saw you mentioned in another comment that you guys learned a lot from the SoL event, could I ask if that has impacted faith in lore events or visual novels, since I still enjoyed them as a concept

Originally posted by raphelmadeira

Hey Reav3, how are you? Tell me we'll have a new support champion still in 2021. Rell's gameplay is super meh, this year nothing caught my attention yet besides Mundo's rework. Thanks!

Vex

May I see Ornn's data? I have a feeling he's not as bottom-left as people would think.

Originally posted by Zoli_Ben

Anything to share about the second VGU of 2022? :C

Originally posted by Hyeonwoon

Reav3 i know youre not allowed to say something but im begging ya.. im waiting for vex since early this year when she got teased in the roadmap.. Can we expect to see something like a teaser trailer this week? this wait is killin' me.

Originally posted by PixelButtz

Reav3 I'm the owner of the VexMains community and we're dying to know the answer to this.

Does Vex vape with Viego?

Also, for the ViegoMains; Is his chest dorito an Iron Man style Juul pod?

Originally posted by Riozuro

Will it ever be possible for this chart to be viewable by the playerbase that updates per patch? I think that would be pretty neat to see how certain champions are doing and where new champs land and settle without having to ask you

Originally posted by Amy_Amell_4

Reav, since you answer lore questions here, can I ask something about Viego that's been bothering me a lot? You see, I like the character (and the champion for that matter, got me into jungle and everything) and I like to imagine that prior Isolde's tragic death he was a good husband to her, loving and caring. But lately I see many people suggesting that he was actually abusive towards her when she was alive, and she couldn't deny him because she was just a peasant girl and he was a King. But I can't find any evidence to that? Is there anything that indicates this was the case? A romantic in me hopes that's not true, but I fear those people know something about the lore that I don't. Can you confirm how it was in the story? Or are we not supposed to know for sure?

Boss how is the champions team looking? Has it gotten smaller, stayed the same, or increased in size relative to previous years?

Originally posted by RoarkeST

on the topic of reworks, can we expect another VGU poll next year for a rework either at the end of 2022 or sometime during 2023? also, are there currently only two VGUs planned for next year?

Originally posted by FruitfulRogue

What's Kindlejack working on? :( I heard he was meant to be working in Askhan but couldn't. So what's he doing now?

I really love his designs but it feels like we barely get one a year. Vs Lonewingy who makes like 4.

Originally posted by RaisukiSM

If it wasn't a hassle, could you please show the Talon graph. I've tried looking for his name but can't find it.

Originally posted by IBurntMyToastToday

Who saw the most increase in play with the reworks? I know I came back because of the Fiddle rework (10/10 on that one and would love to see the graph if it shows data going back to pre-rework too)

Originally posted by AobaSona

Have you seen what people have been talking about when it comes to VUs? It has become a more recurrent topic as time goes on. Champions like Ahri, Lux, Caitlyn, Janna, Lulu, Leona, etc who have fine gameplay and aren't on the VGU list have been showing their age for a while now and it really sucks that it doesn't seem like they'll ever get updated.

I remember that Riot used to have a team for VUs/VGUs separate from the champions team. Maybe something like that should come back since the champions team has shifted from being half-focused on VGUs and half new champions to prioritizing new champions a lot.

Originally posted by FruitfulRogue

Yay :) I'm excited. Samira was so long ago now.

Originally posted by Zarathielis

Could you share what Lonewingy is currently working on (in terms of new champs) since I love her work? I heard she worked on the botlane marksman for a while, is she on a champ for 2022 now?

Originally posted by Spideraxe30

Could you possibly share which writer and designer you’re thinking about assigning to the VGU

Originally posted by Penguin_Quinn

Is it the same champion that the previously canceled/abandoned VGU was? Or was that VGU going to be Udyr and that's why he was on the poll this year?

Originally posted by QUINN_VALOR_VGU_WHEN

Is it possible this champion may have been on the last rework poll? Asking for a friend. A feathery friend, to be specific. :>

Originally posted by FruitfulRogue

Hey a bit off topic but I was wondering if you'd be willing to share the breadth, depth, niche and popularity of the lil kidly champions, Zoe, Nunu and Annie? I don't recall ever seeing them anywhere

Originally posted by bz6

/u/Reav3

Been loving these graphs. I think League needs more niche champions. Not every champion needs to broadly appeal. What is your opinion on that?

Originally posted by Zoli_Ben

Is it the VGU that was in development last year before the poll?

Originally posted by BugMage

If the champions on the VGU polls are supposed to be the ones that are seen as "high-priorities for updates", why is the next VGU a champion not on the poll? Why wait on them even longer?

And if the champion that was picked really needs it more than any of them... why weren't they just on the poll instead in the first place?

Glad we're back to 2015 2016 again

Originally posted by prxncebubblegum

hey Reav3! Little question about skins. At what point of production is the release skin chosen? Since Vex was delayed (meant to come after Gwen), was she planned for a different skinline, or is this defined later in dev? This also goes back to Seraphine too, who was held back to match K/DA's comeback. Was another skinline originally planned for Sera? There are some rumors about Spirit Blossom Seraphine going around lately

So, what I got out of that is.

Designers think Shyvana is hard. (in general)

No one is passionate about Shyvana and thus... back burner.

Quinn and Shyvana are screwed.

I can see the "new person" point as doing something you see as "hard" isn't a good start for them. So the only way Shyvana or Quinn are ever getting reworked likely is if they win a poll getting lucky to be on it and thus forcing Riot to work on it vs them wanting to do it.

But also note that these points only get harder over time, the more skins they get, that is more you need to rework. If their kits age more that's more that you need to solve. So why are you guys slowing down so much? 2 VGUs is a very low number for 2022 (unless you are planning more) Many champions feel awful even if they play okay.

Additionally if Shyvana is screwed over for another year (likely more) then why can't she get at least her kit updated to smooth out her AP/AD/Tank builds?

Originally posted by prxncebubblegum

Interesting, so was Vex planned to be released in the same event as Akshan? Like Lillia-Yone in Spirit Blossom. Just asking, because I can't imagine an unbound-like event on its own

Originally posted by TreeKeeper15

So basically the things that were said earlier aren't actually happening and are just getting pushed back more? It's almost impossible for more humanoids to come out next year and a creature champion and niche humans if nothing is changing until the end of the year. As someone who has been playing since 2012, this feeling of having my interests and wants be shoved to the side as a player really makes me want to quit being invested in a game that has been part of a very large portion of my life. I know that this is likely not your fault, and that you probably don't want this either, but the vague language being used earlier followed by this slap in the face feels like a betrayal of the one thing that was giving me hope in League as everything else I cared about was being torn down and stomped on.

Hey Reav3, thanks for all of your transparency through the Sentinels event and sticking to reddit even though i know you guys caught a lot of shit for the event. I know it must be really difficult to stay connected when it seems a lot of people are ungrateful.

Just a quick question - what are you thoughts on going through with your newer designers on the team and having them focus on more VU’s for champions like Orianna, Janna, Jarvan, Jax, etc? Seems like it could be a win for players but not require quite as many resources as full VGU’s. I think a lot of people would appreciate more Ezreal style updates.

on an unrelated note, can you please share the popularity of Yone since his release?

Originally posted by OtherAnswer

Any chance you could share Taliyah's please? c:

Originally posted by Sandalman3000

No graph needed, but I'm curious. What champion surprised you the most with how they trended?

Originally posted by Spideraxe30

I wanted to ask again for Akshan's B/D, are you happy with where he has settled now that he has had several patches.

Originally posted by Evelynn_lover

Hey Reav3, I wanted to ask Evelynn's B/D, can u show me? :< (pls)

Originally posted by Spideraxe30

With Vex coming out this week, are you able to share if the next Roadmap is dropping this week as well

before the End of september?
