Yes. Some older champions are played more than the newer champions, but this also relates to my point. The reason that these champions are played more than other champions, is because they are both easy to understand to newer players, and because they have been around long enough for experianced players to really dig in and find how to play them exceptionally well. They are safe picks because people know they are strong and they have invested a lot of time into getting to know the champions. Why play a new champion that you know nothing about when you feel comfortable playing Ezreal, Miss Fortune, Janna, Taric, etc etc. This is also the reason people don't try those older champions. Why try Karma when everything surrounding her is bad reputation, and a few lovers of her that are harder to find that one would think. Not everyone tries to innovate. But I wish more people would.
