I have just been curios guys about why some champions are not played that much. I know that unpopular picks like swain, galio, mao'kai, and yorick are all strong picks in their respective fields. What I am trying to get to in this is why some champions are not played as much as others these champions are strong just wanted someone to explain to me why no one is regularly playing these champions.

For example, swain's a good pick, although he has some pretty terrible mobility. Even though he is a lane bully, he's not able to use his kit to his fullest because he must constantly worry about jungler ganks.
Maokai used to be a strong pick, but because of the jungle camp buffs that happened in season 3, he has trouble quickly clearing his first wave of camps. This means that he loses a lot of map pressure.
Galio isn't picked often because he has mana problems,
And lastly, yorick used to be a strong pick - he used to be a near unbeatable lane... However, the rework of tiamat in season 3 gave people an easy answer to stopping his ghouls.
