Zac
Another beginner-friendly champion that saw a 12% pick rate and 53% win rate in 2022.
Zac is extremely versatile and works in both the top lane and Jungle, with great tank abilities.

They specialize in the Jungle, remaining a popular pick despite a number of nerfs over the years, hitting a 53% win rate.
