some of these champs just have a higher skill cap than others with little reward for mastering them.

take for example victor, he is much harder to use than most of the other mids out there, but doesnt do anything different than other mids. why pick victor and do tons of damage when you can pick gragas and do tons of damage?

another example is rumble. especially his passive. rumble is so great because he can dominate lane, but you have to always watch his heat meter, because if you over heat you cant cast spells, so most pro's always keep the meter in between 50-55 (watch them next time)  but that takes a lot of time to get used to, and why take that time when you can pick shyvana and dominate top lane with no effort at all?

these champions are unseen because their reward is not worth spending time to get better at them. Lee sin is a great example. He has one of the highest skill caps in the game, yet he is always seen because his combos are insane and you feel like a bad ass when you q-ward jump-r correctly, as well as being able to have multiple viable build paths for him.

i wouldnt say that none of these champs are unviable, its that there are way better choices to take,  and also nobody really cares enough about them. why use zil when annie leona and morg are open. why use talon when zed is available
