Hi, did this thread mostly for myself and friends. Counted champs in lanes with 2k+ games in op.gg (or above 0% popularity in LeagueOfGraphs when op.gg’s server was down).

If you don’t know, this is the Globetrotter challenge. It consists of winning games with a premade party of five where only champions from a single region are used. It’s a fun team exercise :)

It is organized like this:

LANE: Primary-role champions (recommended)

| secondary-role champions

|| people play this, I guess??? (viable but weak)

Here it goes:

IXTAL

Malphite, Milio, Neeko, Nidalee, Qiyana, Rengar, Zyra

TOP: Malphite | Rengar || Neeko, Nidalee, Qiyana

JUNGLE: Nidalee, Rengar | Zyra || Malphite, Neeko, Qiyana

MID: Neeko, Qiyana | Malphite

SUP: Milio, Zyra | Neeko

ADC:

• Your main issue in Ixtal is that there is no ADC. Qiyana should be the best one as she snowballs, but she is also very hard to play. Statistics says Neeko is the most played of the seven in ADC role, but it’s a low number of games and may also just be indicative that Neeko is a champion with high pick rate, period. Overall I would go into alt pick because it’s so FUBAR the champion wouldn’t really matter. Bot lane, play safe and don’t feed.

BANDLETREE

Corki, Fizz, Gnar, Heimerdinger, Kennen, Kled, Lulu, Poppy, Rumble, Teemo, Tristana, Veigar, Vex, Yuumi, Ziggs

TOP: Gnar, Kennen, Kled, Poppy, Rumble, Teemo | Heimerdinger || Tristana, Veigar

JUNGLE: | Poppy, Rumble || Teemo

MID: Corki, Fizz, Veigar, Vex | Kennen, Rumble, Tristana, Heimerdinger, Ziggs || Gnar, Kled, Poppy, Teemo

SUP: Heimerdinger, Lulu, Yuumi || Poppy, Teemo, Veigar, Ziggs

ADC: Tristana, Ziggs | Veigar || Heimerdinger

• Pretty viable.

BILGEWATER

Fizz, Gangplank, Graves, Illaoi, Miss Fortune, Nautilus, Nilah, Pyke, Tahm Kench, Twisted Fate

TOP: Gangplank, Illaoi, Tahm Kench || Fizz, Graves, Nautilus

JUNGLE: Graves

MID: Fizz, Twisted Fate | Gangplank || Graves, Illaoi, Pyke

ADC: Miss Fortune, Nilah

SUP: Nautilus, Pyke || Miss Fortune, Tahm Kench

• Not only viable but strong-ish. Color me impressed? A warning: Graves has a very high ban rate. Go blind pick if you must.

DEMACIA

Fiora, Galio, Garen, Jarvan IV, Kayle, Lucian, Lux, Morgana, Poppy, Quinn, Shyvana, Sona, Sylas, Vayne, Xin Zhao

TOP: Fiora, Kayle, Quinn | Poppy, Shyvana, Sylas, Vayne || Galio, Jarvan IV, Xin Zhao

JUNGLE: Jarvan IV, Poppy, Shyvana, Xin Zhao | Sylas || Morgana*

MID: Galio, Lux, Sylas | Kayle || Fiora, Jarvan IV, Lucian, Morgana, Quinn, Shyvana, Vayne, Xin Zhao

ADC: Lucian, Vayne

SUP: Morgana, Sona | Galio, Lux, Poppy || Jarvan IV, Sylas

* Below 2k games on op.gg but I have a friend that seriously play this and he says it’s viable lol.

• Who would say that Demacia champions were so versatile? Also, Lucian and Vayne have both quite low ban rates.

PILTOVER

Caitlyn, Camille, Corki, Ezreal, Heimerdinger, Jayce, Orianna, Seraphine, Vi

TOP: Camille, Jayce | Heimerdinger || Ezreal

JUNGLE: Vi

MID: Corki, Heimerdinger, Orianna | Jayce, Seraphine || Caitlyn, Ezreal, Vi

ADC: Caitlyn, Ezreal | Seraphine

SUP: Heimerdinger, Seraphine

• Vi and Heimerdinger have <1% banrates. You can go alt pick pretty safely.

SHADOW ISLES

Elise, Evelynn, Fiddlesticks, Gwen, Hecarim, Kallista, Karthus, Maokai, Senna, Thresh, Viego, Yorick

TOP: Gwen, Maokai, Yorick || Fiddlesticks, Karthus, Senna, Viego

JUNGLE: Elise, Evelynn, Fiddlesticks, Hecarim, Karthus, Maokai, Viego || Gwen

MID: | Karthus || Fiddlesticks, Gwen, Viego

ADC: Kallista | Karthus || Senna*

SUP: Senna, Thresh | Fiddlesticks, Karthus, Maokai

* 40% winrate. Only if you’re desperate.

• For some reason Vex and Kindred aren’t here, because then your ADC could play Karthus or Kindred instead of Kallista. Other than that, that’s a pretty fun region for everyone but your ADC!

SHURIMA

Akshan, Amumu, Azir, K’Sante, Naafiri, Nasus, Rammus, Renekton, Sivir, Skarner, Taliyah, Xerath, Zilean

TOP: K’Sante, Nasus, Renekton | Akshan, Naafiri || Azir, Rammus, Skarner

JUNGLE: Rammus, Skarner, Taliyah | Naafiri

MID: Akshan, Azir, Naafiri | Taliyah, Xerath || K’Sante, Nasus, Renekton, Sivir, Zilean

ADC: Sivir || Taliyah, Xerath

SUP: Xerath, Zilean || Taliyah

• Some really simple and some really complex champions, which makes it a bit odd. Naafiri is very flexible but also has the highest banrate of the patch.

TARGON

Aphelios, Aurelion Sol, Diana, Leona, Pantheon, Soraka, Taric, Zoe

TOP: Pantheon || Aurelion Sol

JUNGLE: Diana || Pantheon, Taric

MID: Aurelion Sol, Zoe | Diana, Pantheon

ADC: Aphelios || Aurelion Sol

SUP: Leona, Pantheon, Soraka, Taric || Zoe

• Limited pool of inflexible champions will make many cry blind pick. However, if you notice, this cast has a low ban rate (highest being Leona at 4.7%).

FRELJORD

Anivia, Ashe, Braum, Gnar, Gragas, Lissandra, Nunu&Willump, Olaf, Ornn, Sejuani, Trundle, Tryndamere, Udyr, Volibear

TOP: Gnar, Olaf, Ornn, Trundle, Tryndamere, Volibear | Gragas || Anivia, Lissandra, Sejuani, Udyr

JUNGLE: Gragas, Nunu, Sejuani, Udyr | Trundle, Volibear || Olaf, Tryndamere*

MID: Anivia, Lissandra | Gragas || Gnar, Nunu, Ornn, Tryndamere, Volibear

ADC: Ashe

SUP: Braum | Gragas || Anivia, Ashe, Lissandra, Nunu, Ornn, Sejuani, Trundle

* <40% winrate, don’t unless you are really good at him

• Did you like making do with an adc in Ixtal? I hope your adc also did, since Ashe has a 11.42% banrate. Seriously, go blind pick. Help Ashe unify the tribes after all those years.

IONIA

Ahri, Akali, Irelia, Ivern, Jhin, Karma, Kayn, Kennen, Lee Sin, Lilia, Master Yi, Rakan, Sett, Shen, Syndra, Varus, Wukong, Xayah, Yasuo, Yone, Zed

TOP: Irelia, Kennen, Sett, Shen | Akali, Wukong, Yone, Zed || Ahri, Karma, Kayn, Lee Sin*, Lillia, Master Yi, Syndra, Varus, Yasuo

JUNGLE: Ivern, Kayn, Lillia, Master Yi, Wukong | Zed || Lee Sin

MID: Ahri, Akali, Syndra, Yasuo, Yone, Zed | Irelia || Karma, Kennen, Lee Sin*, Sett, Varus, Wukong

ADC: Jhin, Varus, Xayah || Syndra, Yasuo, Yone

SUP: Karma, Rakan || Kennen, Lee Sin*, Sett, Shen, Yasuo*

* Lee Sin is kinda shit at anything that isn’t Jungle. Top makes do, but Mid and Sup do not. * <40% Winrate. You got plenty of better choices, Yasuo mains.

• I think the champions are a bit hard to learn, but at least you got plenty of choices.

NOXUS

Cassiopeia, Darius, Draven, Katarina, Kled, LeBlanc, Rell, Riven, Samira, Sion, Swain, Talon, Vladimir

TOP: Darius, Kled, Riven, Sion | Vladimir || Cassiopeia, Katarina, LeBlanc, Swain, Talon

JUNGLE: | Talon || Rell, Riven*, Sion

MID: Cassiopeia, Katarina, LeBlanc, Talon, Vladimir || Darius, Kled, Riven, Samira, Sion, Swain

ADC: Draven, Samira || Cassiopeia, Sion, Swain

SUP: Swain || LeBlanc, Rell, Sion

* <40% winrate. Those days are long gone.

• Congratulations, Sion, you’re the only one together with Karthus to fit all lanes! Seriously now, Samira is a super strong snowball. Noxus trolls Jungle and Support a bit, but Talon did worse.

VOID

Bel’Veth, Cho’Gath, Kai’Sa, Kassadin, Kha’Zix, Kog’Maw, Malzahar, Rek’Sai, Vel’Koz

TOP: Cho’Gath || Bel’Veth, Kassadin, Malzahar, Rek’Sai

JUNGLE: Bel’Veth, Kha’Zix, Rek’Sai

MID: Kassadin, Malzahar | Cho’Gath, Vel’Koz || Kai’Sa, Kog’Maw

ADC: Kai’Sa, Kog’Maw || Malzahar, Vel’Koz

SUP: Vel’Koz || Bel’Veth, Cho’Gath, Malzahar

• Pretty smooth. Nothing to add.

ZAUM

Blitzcrank, Dr. Mundo, Ekko, Janna, Jinx, Renata Glasc, Singed, Twitch, Urgot, Viktor, Warwick, Zac, Zeri, Ziggs

TOP: Dr. Mundo, Singed, Urgot | Warwick, Zac || Ekko, Viktor

JUNGLE: Ekko, Warwick, Zac || Dr. Mundo, Singed, Twitch*

MID: Viktor, Ziggs | Ekko || Singed, Twitch, Urgot, Zac, Zeri

ADC: Jinx, Twitch, Zeri | Ziggs || Viktor

SUP: Blitzcrank, Janna, Renata Glasc || Singed, Twitch, Zac, Ziggs

* 41% winrate. You have better picks.

• Zaum I love, because there are tutorial-level champions to play in every role. I recommend you start here (or in whatever region you have more mains for in your premade).
