Let's see.
 * Karthus: he is a strong mid champion due to his farming abilities, excellent harass, and powerful ganking skills (not the mention the whole "press R to win" thing). He is great in team fights and sometimes (not all the time) you wanna send him in first because of his passive. If not, having him hang back and use his AoE and CC on a team fight leads to impressive results. Even if you die, most people tend to stay around your dead body so you can keep killing them and then release your ultimate before you die (beware, if you do play Karthus, prepare to be called names. Most are justified, to be honest, but oh well). Karthus is played often (not a popular champ like Ashe but still up there) and is an asset to the team no matter how you slice it.
 * Maokai is a powerful tank. He has a knockback slow that's great in team fights, a root for catching prey, saplings that give Maokai excellent map control (when paired with CV) and the ult is excellent for team fights. Trust me, I have had too many team fights where my team and I ace the other team with absurdly low amounts of health . The ult is a strong asset. As to popularity, he isn't played all that often (from what I've seen). Out of all the tank, Maokai is a great choice because of his ult and the map control he has, free wards, who doesn't love that?
 * Kog'Maw... well, I think I'm gonna stop at Kog because I just won't shut up about him. Maybe someone more neutral can answer about Kog. XD
