Ezreal and Miss Fortune reign over the Rift in terms of popularity and Blitzcrank is certainly the most bannable. But there is only one champion that dominates the win rate leaderboard from Iron to Grandmaster (with more about Challenger later). This champion is popular enough to be picked up by many players, but still boasts a surprisingly high win rate; #1 of all champions in eight different ranks. Who is this perfect champion?

According to LoLalytics statistics, Maokai’s win rate consistently exceeds that of any other champion. (As of 1/29/2024) This means that he is currently the Highest Win Rate Champion in 2024.
For every single rank except the highest two, Maokai holds the top win rate. He is incredibly dominant, with percentages in the mid 50s and even 60s at some levels. While many champions are known to perform best in either high or low elo, Maokai was made to do it all.
Interestingly, he drops down to #43 in Challenger, but still wins almost 58% of the time there. Further Maokai support data from League of Graphs lists Maokai as #1 for ranks Iron+ and Platinum+. But in the Master+ category Maokai is listed as #11 highest win rate. Since LoLalytics already shows that Maokai support is #1 in Master, #4 in Grandmaster, and #43 in Challenger, the #11 average of the three once again shows that he seems to fall off a bit in Challenger. But even then, he still pulls in consistently good wins. He is certainly among the best of the best at winning regardless.
Additionally, he might stay this strong for a while. While Patch 14.2 involved many balancing issues, Maokai received no specific mentions. This indicates that at least for now, he is balanced as intended. Players can feel free to indulge in these extraordinary win rates for Season 14.
Conclusion
So, for anyone looking to pick up a new champion, looking to climb the ranked ladder, or both, look no further than Maokai.
