Yone and Skarner have taken Worlds 2024 by storm, ranking at the top of pick and ban statistics with over 70% win rates in more than 20 games, solidifying themselves as the most dominant champions of the tournament.
In the Swiss phase of Worlds 2024, 81 champions have been played, representing less than half of the available roster. Despite the variety, a clear meta has emerged, led by a few standout picks.
Aurora tops the charts with a staggering 94.4% presence in games, but Yone (92.6%) and Skarner (83.3%) are the real stars. These two champions have shown overwhelming dominance in their respective roles, mid-lane and jungle, often leading their teams to victory.
Yone: The Mid-Lane Powerhouse
Yone holds the second-highest number of victories in Worlds 2024, securing 14 wins in 21 games (71.4% win rate), only trailing behind Rell in overall wins. With a KDA of 4.62, Yone’s performance has been exceptional, especially in Eastern regions. However, his stats have dipped slightly due to weaker play from Western teams.
Skarner: The Unstoppable Jungler
Skarner, meanwhile, has been an unstoppable force in the jungle, with 15 wins in 21 games (71.4% win rate) and an impressive KDA of 5.95, the highest among junglers. His ultimate, Impale, has produced game-changing plays, such as Yike’s performance in G2 vs BLG, making him a critical pick for team initiation.
Meta-Shaping Champions
While Yone and Skarner have been standout performers, other key champions like Jax, Gnar, Rumble, Rell, Leona, Ahri, and Kai’Sa have played significant roles in shaping the Worlds 2024 meta. However, Yone and Skarner remain the ones to watch, as they continue to disrupt the competition.
Final Toughts
As the playoffs of Worlds 2024 begin, expect to see Yone and Skarner frequently banned, but when they do make it through the draft, they’ll likely wreak havoc on the Rift, propelling their teams to victory.
