The League of Legends World Championship is in full swing, and pro players are sticking to a pick that’s not working for them. Kai’Sa, one of the most popular champions at Worlds 2023, is actually performing poorly with a low win rate of only 32 percent. Alongside Taliyah and K’Sante, she is currently considered one of the worst choices for pro players. However, they are not giving up easily on the Daughter of the Void.
Despite her struggles, Kai’Sa is a strong pick due to her versatility, including stealth, dash, shield, poke, and high DPS output. So why is she failing to find success at Worlds? One reason is the dominance of Xayah, another popular pick at the tournament. Xayah is a known counter to Kai’Sa, with a stronger laning phase, better push, similar DPS potential, and the ability to avoid unwanted engagements with her ultimate.
Another factor contributing to Kai’Sa’s low win rate could be weaker teams picking her, hoping for a miracle. However, despite her poor performance, we can expect to see Kai’Sa throughout Worlds 2023 because she is one of the few champions who can stand against Xayah. Additionally, in capable hands, Kai’Sa can take over the game with sufficient resources and support. Perhaps her luck will change as the tournament progresses through the Swiss format.
