Patch 10.9 Tier List Update Summary

Buffs: Cho’Gath, Fiddlesticks, Gnar, Kayn, Lissandra, Quinn
Nerfs: Bard, Karthus, Nami, Trundle, Wukong

Tier 1

God Tier: These champions are almost impossible to keep down. If your team doesn’t shut them down hard, they can be a massive nuisance. Examples include Talon, Diana, and Fizz.

Tier 1: These champions generally do very well and have some advantage over most other champions. When they do well, their team does well. Examples include Graves (Jungle), Rek’Sai (Jungle), Olaf (Jungle), Kled (Top), Maokai (Top), and Wukong (Top).

Tier 2

Tier 2: This tier includes balanced champions where Riot aims to place their designs. These champions generally do well in their own right and are strong picks with a good chance of winning. Examples include Olaf (Jungle), Rek’Sai (Jungle), Fiddlesticks (Jungle), Kayn (Jungle), Shaco (Jungle), and Cho’Gath (Top).

Tier 3

Tier 3: These champions can still do very well but need a little more snowballing to get rolling. Even if they get an early lead, it’s still possible to turn the tides on them with just a mistake or two. Examples include Fiddlesticks (Jungle), Kayn (Jungle), Shaco (Jungle), and Cho’Gath (Top).

Tier 4

Tier 4: These champions are either underpowered or offer less reward than other champions for the same amount of effort. Examples include Tahm Kench (Support), Trundle (Jungle), Nasus (Top), and Leblanc (Mid).

Rising and Falling Champions

Notes on Win Rates

Win rates are important in analyzing each champion’s strength but are not the end-all criteria. Professional picks may not necessarily translate into good picks for solo queue ladder due to different meta-games and skill levels. The creator of this list is diamond, so there may be some personal bias towards higher tier play on certain champions.

Key Points

God Tier: These champions are almost impossible to keep down. If your team doesn’t shut them down hard, they can be a massive nuisance.
Tier 1: These champions generally do very well and have some advantage over most other champions.
Tier 2: Balanced champions where Riot aims to place their designs.
Tier 3: Champions that can still do very well but need a little more snowballing to get rolling.
Tier 4: Underpowered champions offering less reward than other champions for the same amount of effort.

With enough playtime, a high win rate on a champion indicates that 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 their win rate indicates.
