Important Notes

• Win Rates: Important in analyzing each champion’s strength but not the end-all criteria.
• Professional Picks: May not necessarily translate into good picks for solo queue ladder.
• Creator Bias: The creator of this list is diamond so there may be some personal bias towards higher tier play on certain champions.

With enough playtime, a high win rate on a champion indicates something generally goes right, and a low win rate indicates that whatever is happening in games with this champion isn’t in their favor. A low win rate may mean a champion is being played incorrectly and is stronger than his win rate indicates, but a top 25 win rate (with 120 champions) almost always indicates that a champion is at least a good candidate for Tier 1 or high Tier 2 if the sample size is large enough.

This means that champions with high win rates do not mean they’re necessarily good right now, especially if they have a low play rate or tend to get into favorable match-ups. If we feel this is the case, these champions will place differently on this tier list than you’d think.

Similarly, champions with low win rates that are still within acceptable deviations may end up slightly higher than you’d expect from a champion with mediocre win rates.

If there are champions on this tier list with low overall play rates but good win rates after relatively few games of practice, it may mean that players picking those champions up just to try them are bringing down the average. If this is the case, we will place them higher on the list.

In Tier 3 of this tier list, we’ve placed certain champions that are good as a second pick but can get spanked hard if they end up first picking by a variety of meta champions. If you’re good at a large variety of champions, picking a champion that counters your lane is a good place to start. If you can get a slight advantage and don’t have a clear experience advantage, picking a champion that both places high on this tier list and also counters your enemy lane may give you enough to win a game.
