What is an off-meta pick that you think could work if Challenger/pro level players explored it? (lemmy.world)

Asking because I think League's biggest problem is that competitive play is dominated by a small handful of champions with nobody willing to explore alternative picks.

I think Xerath is really powerful when picked in the right situation. The main issue with him is he is completely helpless against strong dive comps but when the enemy is low on engage his range is absolutely busted. Once he has an item or two a few skill shots landing can easily force a back securing an objective.

Honestly I think the game is actually pretty balanced and pretty much any champion can be picked at the top level in some situations. Just understandably hard for pros to practice off meta picks that the ideal situation for may not come up in a season.
