Maokai is really good right now, and can be pretty scary if put in the right hands. I can't explain why we haven't seen much of him.

Twisted Fate outclassed, but still fun to play...I think I have seen one good TF since the nerf.

Swain pretty counterable with ignite and executioner's calling. Overall just pretty hard to play.

Yorick He's still pretty strong, and does good damage. Just still somewhat difficult to play...I guess.

Yeaaaa... no. That won't work.

Skarner is like any tanky dps. You build 1 or 2 dps items. Rest bulk...

The problem is that he's not that strong to be hybrid nor has a good defense to be tanky. Skarner is also expensive, so you can buy Akali that is far better damage dealer for less IP.

I see Trundle, Maokai, Orianna and Skarner plenty.

They're all decent champions that get adequate attention. (Though I still maintain Mao's Q is lackluster)
People just prefer to focus on overpowered champions and with 80+ champions, you won't see some for a while out of random luck.

So you didn't see a Maokai in 10 games. Doesn't means he wasn't in other games.

@caucheka:

One good game does not make a viable champion.
Play 100 more - then list out your win ratio. Then maybe you'll have some leverage. :P

The biggest problem with Akali is that she is always banned in draft games and ground into the dirt in dominion with how many people that play her. I like akali myself but shes not worth running in dominion due to instant ban in a draft match.

Also I always run twitch now, hes just my favourite period.
