League of Legends Tier List for Low ELO. Meta Picks for Every Role in Patch 26.16
| Current patch | 26.16 |
| Last updated | 4 days ago |
In Patch 26.16, based on the assessment of our high elo game experts, the best champions to climb with below low Diamond right now are Nasus, Graves, Viktor, Jinx, and Lulu. Below, you will find a more detailed assessment of their strengths. For the ranks above low Diamond, we recommend checking out our high elo tier list instead. If you'd rather explore Mobalytics data instead of our curated expert recommendations, refer to our champion stats instead.
Top Tier List
Nasus is our Top Lane Pick of the Patch following his huge buff in 26.16. He now gains four Q stacks from regular minions instead of three, allowing him to build damage much faster throughout the lane. His simple game plan makes him perfect for low elo. Farm patiently, slow enemies with Wither and become an unstoppable side lane threat as the game progresses.

Jungle Tier List
Graves remains our jungle recommendation thanks to his quick clears, strong dueling and ability to carry games by himself. He can punish weak junglers through invades and builds an early lead by controlling camps and objectives. Once Graves gets ahead, his damage and mobility make him extremely difficult to shut down.

Mid Tier List
Viktor continues to be one of the strongest Mid Laners to climb with this patch. His excellent wave clear allows him to control the lane without taking unnecessary risks, while his range makes it easy to punish opponents from a safe distance. Give him time to collect his upgrades and items, and he becomes a huge threat in late-game teamfights.

Bot Tier List
Jinx is one of the strongest ADCs because she only needs one takedown to completely take over a fight. She's strong in lane and can play passively. She scales incredibly well and can quickly tear through entire teams when given space to attack.

Support Tier List
Lulu is our support choice for players who want to keep their carries alive and shut down enemy divers. Her shields, Polymorph and ultimate give her plenty of ways to protect teammates and disrupt anyone who jumps onto them. She is straightforward to play and becomes especially valuable when your team has a strong carry to play around.

Methodology
Our tier lists are curated our team of challenger experts.
We recommend using the Low ELO list for as long as you can before switching the High ELO list. It usually works until around high Diamond. If a champion isn't on our tier list, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can't climb with them.
