LoL Tier List For Solo Queue
The tier lists below start at the strongest champions on the tier list and is ordered from left to right in power level. The tier lists are also separated into multiple segments for ease of understanding, but champions from a higher segment of the tier list may still lose to a counter pick from a lower-tier segment of the tier list.
Full LoL Tier List For Solo Queue
The tier list below lists every viable champion in the game along with a few unorthodox picks that can still perform fairly well. This tier list is meant to organize every viable champion in the game into an order with the average experienced player in mind. Generally speaking, this is somewhere between silver and platinum. This tier list can also be used for higher divisions, but the higher you go, the more specialized at specific champions you become.

- Champions in BOLD I will talk about shortly
- Champions UNDERLINED may be over/undervalued, but aren’t/haven’t played enough for me to make a better judgment.
- Within each tier, the champions are strongest from left to right, but within a tier, each champion’s strength is relatively close. This is especially true for Tiers 2 and 3 where these champions are ALL highly playable and player dependent on how strong they are in-game.
- Win Rates are important in analyzing each champion’s strength but are not the end-all criteria for any champion’s position.
- Professional Picks may not necessarily translate into good picks for the solo queue ladder, the two have slightly 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.
When making this tier list we initially considered using tier list descriptions similar to others with S-tier, A-tier etc. However, In the initial build of the tier list way back when we started, it was more popular to use a God Tier designation and then go down from there on the tier list. As a result, we’ve stuck by this concept through the years. However, since God Tier is supposed to be relatively exclusive on this tier list, we try and limit it to only three or four picks at most. This means that there may be champions that are close to God tier on this tier list, but don’t quite make it and are instead at the top of Tier 1.
God Tier: These champions are almost impossible to keep down. If your team doesn’t make it a priority to shut down these champions and shut them down hard, even if they lose their lane, lose in CS, and it’s their first time playing the champion, they can be a massive nuisance for your team. On the other hand, if they’re actually good at the champion…that’s when it’s time to throw in the towel.
Tier 1: These champions generally do very well regardless, and have some sort of advantage over most other champions. When they do well, their team does well. Even when they don’t do well, their team still has a good chance of a comeback victory by utilizing one or more aspects of their late-game utility.
Tier 2: This is the Tier of balanced champions where Riot shoots to place their designs. These champions generally do well in their own right and are very strong picks with a good chance of winning. However, they’re not overpowered by any means and do have their weaknesses.
Tier 3: These champions can still do very well, but tend to need a little more snowballing to get rolling. Even if they get an early lead, it’s still very possible to turn the tides on them with just a mistake or two. They may also have some weaknesses that can be capitalized on.
Tier 4: These champions are either underpowered or offer less reward than other champions for the same amount of effort. These champions basically start winning from the get-go or get made fun of for the rest of the game. They need gold to do their job correctly, and if they don’t get enough of it, they become sandbags for the enemy team to punch. Chances of a comeback with one of these champions feeding on your team is almost none.
In the past, some people complained that this tier list focused too much on win rates and not enough on play rates. However, this tier list takes into account both win rates and play rates before performing analysis on the champion. Just because there’s a high correlation on win rates and position on the tier list doesn’t indicate that this tier list is solely based on win rates, if anything the champion power level drives the win rates and supports the claim to validity.
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 that 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 the 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 that pick 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.
More thoughts on win rates here.
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.
Check out a few of our more popular champion counter guides:
Azir [Tier 1 Mid]
Azir is currently flying under the radar as someone who is performing extremely well post-patch. Luden’s Companion + Nashor’s Tooth is all he needs to be extremely effective and his damage output is insanely high early game compared to what he used to put out.
Brand [Tier 1 Jungle]
Brand jungle is something that took off in the previous patches but continues to be quite good in the current patch. The new Malignance item synergizes very well with his ultimate as it gives him additional burst along with magic resist reduction, resulting in catastrophic amounts of damage with a single button.
Fizz [God Tier Mid]
The name of the game is League of Stormsurge right now when it comes to mid-lane meta. Champions like Fizz, Akali, and Katarina now run this item and make it essentially impossible to escape AP assassins. The stats it provides is incredibly good and the added bonus damage/movement speed is just a cherry on top.
Gwen [Tier 1 Top]
Reducing Nashor’s Tooth’s cost coupled with the buffs to Riftmaker to make it more bruiser-friendly really amps up Gwen’s power quite a bit. She’s still not to the point of being a popular pick but definitely also flying under the radar as a power pick top lane.
Lillia [God Tier Jungle]
Similar to Gwen, Riftmaker’s new stats are extremely good for AP bruisers like Lillia. In the current meta she’s just incredibly good and deals extreme amounts of damage.
Miss Fortune [God Tier Bot]
Lethality in the current patch feels a bit overtuned on marksmen. This gives players a new reason to revisit lethality Miss Fortune. She’s extremely easy to play and also very effective at the same time, resulting in a consistent champion that starts as a lane-bully and ends as a 1v5 team clearing machine.
Rengar [God Tier Jungle]
The new bushes around the map make Rengar’s jungle speed insanely fast. Voltaic Cyclosword and Opportunity are also clearly overtuned on Rengar given his playstyle and simply results in a very enjoyable playstyle for Rengar players and unenjoyable playthrough for the people on the receiving end.
Singed [God Tier Top]
Another beneficiary of the Riftmaker changes, Singed feels extremely good right now as his damage is greatly amplified by his health, resulting in solid trades and major scaling into the late game.
Teemo [God Tier Top]
Unsurprisingly, when you take a champion that can use Nashor’s Tooth and Malignance as well as Teemo does he becomes one of the most obnoxious champions on the rift. He’s still Teemo and struggles with the same things Teemo always has, but if you play around his strengths he can control the flow of a game all by himself.
Yorick [Tier 3 Top]
The changes on Hullbreaker were truly rough for Yorick and as someone who’s not known for attacking quick and needed the durability, he’s simply not as good as before.
Zed [Tier 2 Mid]
Generally speaking, you would think someone who shares the same items as Rengar would also be performing well this patch but unfortunately the Stormsurging mid laners are simply superior to Zed at the moment. He also doesn’t proc the various lethality items as often as Rengar does and thus gets less free stats from this patch’s major overhauls.
