The Wild Rift Meta has been rather set in stone for the open Beta. Even still as new players come into the fold and as people try new lanes, they may be wondering what to play? Here are the most contested picks to the least picked champions in Wild Rift.
*Note: As they update the game there will be a new list to help keep people up to date on what is worth grinding the ladder with. Expect one once a month at least or with every new patch.

Highly Contested Picks
These picks stand above the rest, debatably overpowered in the meta right now. They have overwhelming strengths that far outweigh their weaknesses.
Thanks to the game environment, be it the items or skill optimization, these picks can perform their job more thoroughly than the others for their role, allowing them to stand above the other possible options.
Expect to see these champions in the majority of games.

Meta Picks
These picks are commonly seen in games. Unlike the most contested picks, these ones are easier to counter. Each pick has its major strengths and weaknesses but if used by the right player it can still yield solid results.

Scarcely picked
These champions are the weakest of the bunch, mostly due to the strongest picks countering them. Most of these champions are still viable, but because the other champions so prevalent in the meta either counter them or just provide more utility, these picks rarely see any play.
But this does not mean that they are not viable champions. Used by the right player, these champions can still pave a path towards victory. At the end of the day, knowing the limits of a champion determine the viability of them.
