It's been a few days since the release of Patch 6.8, which means now we can look at the win rates and see which champions are moving up and down in the pecking order.
Not surprisingly, 6.8 buffs to Galio, Rumble and Olaf are showing up, while the Taric rework resulted in a lot more people playing the champion. Ekko's fallen a bit since his nerfs, but he's still a very strong choice in the top lane. Meanwhile in the jungle, Graves is falling while Elise is rising. For more niche picks, Aatrox jungle and Zyra mid have seen some pretty big win rate jumps.
At AD Carry, a lot more players are playing Tristana after seeing what Stixxay did with the champion in the NA LCS finals. Likewise, Caitlyn has seen more play and a higher win rate after being a major part of that series.
Here are five champions at each position rising or falling significantly, via Champion.GG, which measures win rates from Platinum to Challenger. You can check out win and play rates for every champion over there!
