For champion stats, the LEC 2021’s bans and picks brought some interesting facts to light. For example, Thresh was the most banned champion at 99 times in the year. The most picked champions include Renekton, Viego and Orianna. But for picks, three champions, Graves, Riven and Zac, were only picked once throughout the year.
