Lots of champions are viable at any stage in the game.
Riot's mission is to make sure that every champion has viability in LOL at all stages - they tend to balance things on Tournament play. So if certain champs aren't played or certain champs are overplayed, they try to take that into consideration.
I'd say probably 60-70% of the champions are viable. Probably 10% are Overpowered in some way right now. 30% are below average picks.
I think those are pretty good numbers.
Of the Free champs - it changes week to week - Katarina is on there as well as Cho'Gath. Kat costs 3150 IP and Cho costs 1350. Those 2 right now are probably in the OP champ category. Very strong picks.
