Patch 15.22 is currently underway, with well-known champions taking center stage on the Rift. Using live data from OP.GG across all ranks, we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 most-played League of Legends champions at this time.
Spoiler alert: the ADC role is dominating this patch, with marksmen occupying 7 out of the top 10 spots. Whether you’re climbing the solo queue ladder or simply watching games, it’s nearly impossible to avoid seeing champions like Kai’Sa, Caitlyn, and Ashe in almost every match.
This post discusses the champions with the highest pick rates, compares their win rates, and analyzes what these statistics reveal about the current meta.

| 2 | Caitlyn | 19.57% | 49.77% |
| 3 | Ashe | 18.58% | 51.52% |
| 4 | Jinx | 14.54% | 51.39% |
| 5 | Ezreal | 14.19% | 48.56% |
| 6 | Jhin | 13.40% | 49.72% |

Why ADCs Dominate Right Now
The current League of legends meta heavily favours ADCs as most played champions for a few key reasons:
Patch 25.19 brought significant buffs to popular ADCs. Caitlyn received a base AD increase from 60 to 62, making her already oppressive laning phase even stronger. Jinx got increased early game range on her Q and more damage on her E, addressing her weakness in the early game. These buffs were specifically designed by Riot to bring ADCs back into professional play, with champions like Jinx having been “all but missing from pro play” before the changes.
Patch 15.22 continued supporting the ADC meta with important rune adjustments. Bloodline now provides increased life steal per stack, going from 5.25% to 6% maximum, giving ADCs better sustain in extended fights and throughout the game. Additionally, Hail of Blades received melee-focused buffs, which indirectly makes the bot lane safer for ranged carries by not buffing their direct counters.
Perhaps most importantly, patch 15.22 also nerfed several mid lane & junglers’ snowball champions that traditionally prey on ADCs. Akshan, LeBlanc, and Talon all received nerfs, reducing the threat level to bot lane carries and allowing them to scale more safely into the late game.
Popularity vs. Performance
Popularity doesn’t always equal power, but this patch shows a rare alignment: most of the highly picked champions are performing decently well.
- Only Ezreal falls below the 49% mark.
- Ashe and Jinx have a strong win rate above 51%, proving they’re not just comfort picks but actually meta-viable.
- Kai’Sa, while slightly under 50%, remains strong due to her versatility between AP and AD builds.
This balance keeps solo queue fresh; players can pick favourites without feeling heavily punished by the meta.
Methodology
All data was collected from OP.GG’s global statistics for Patch 15.22, combining all ranks to represent general player trends.
Values were recorded on November 6, 2025, and reflect the pick rate (the frequency of games played) and the win rate (the percentage of victories among those games). Only champions with a sufficient sample size across all regions were considered.
Key Takeaways
- 7 of the 10 most-played champions are ADCs; bot lane still rules the Rift.
- Kai’Sa remains the queen of popularity, while Ashe and Jinx dominate both in pick rate and success.
- Viego and Lux prove non-ADCs can still break into the spotlight when offering flexibility or fun gameplay.
Final Thoughts
Patch 15.22 feels stable yet heavily bot-focused. If you’re climbing, expect to see Kai’Sa, Ashe, or Caitlyn nearly every game. The good news? The diversity within ADCs keeps things interesting; each brings a slightly different playstyle and power curve.
