New Player LoL Tier List

For new players, here are some top-tier champions across various roles:

• Mid Lane: Sylas, Ahri
• Jungle: Skarner
• Top Lane: Malphite, Camille
• Bot Lane: Jinx, Twitch
• Support: Pyke

These champions are highly influential and can significantly impact the game. They are relatively easy to play and offer a high chance of gaining LP quickly.

Key Points

• Win Rates: Important for analyzing champion strength but not the sole criterion.
• Professional Picks: May not translate well to solo queue ladder due to different meta-games and skill levels.
• Creator Bias: The creator is diamond-ranked, which may influence higher-tier play.

This tier list aims to provide the strongest champion picks based on win rates and play rates. With enough playtime, a high win rate indicates that something generally goes right, while a low win rate suggests issues with the champion’s performance.

Champion Examples

• Braum (Tier 1 Support): Excellent counter to auto-attack based marksmen and deals significant damage with fast-attacking allies.
• Jinx (God Tier Bot): Almost impossible to keep down, with an early game balance that snowballs into a dangerous mid to late game.
• Pyke (God Tier Support): Highly obnoxious in fast roams and support ganks, making him difficult to follow and counter.
• Skarner (God Tier Jungle): Powerful in multiple roles, including jungle and support, with good crowd control and mobility.
• Twitch (God Tier Bot): Excels in marksmen-heavy meta, with a weak lane phase but strong scaling potential.
