I was watching SKT Faker’s stream the other day and thinking about how different is the play style in each region. Starting with the picks, it’s not everyday that you see a Taliyah/Pantheon botlane or even a Riven being picked in competitive games. That being said, I started looking for any website with statistics from the game, and that’s when I found Oracle’s Elixir. Seeing all the numbers gave me the urge to try and see how these little differences would affect the big play for each position, and so I did.

I gathered information about 5 of the greatest championships and their respective champions and tried to show how different (or not) do they play.

LCS — Team Liquid

LEC — G2 Esports

LCK — SKT Telecom T1

LMS — Flash Wolves

CBLOL — INTZ e-Sports

I started with the junglers because I think it is the most versatile position. They have to farm their jungle, gank, secure objectives, give/take vision, and they have the ability to accelerate or slow down the game.

Picks

As I said, the picks are something that always makes me think, and that’s where I started. Everytime I see something unusual, my attention is immediately turned to that player and I want to see everything he can or can’t do in a high-profile game.
