If you have any questions about our choices or process, ask us on Discord!

Now that you know the best champions for LoL, get the best champions for Teamfight Tactics with our TFT tier list or Wild Rift with our Wild Rift tier list.

We also have a best decks tier list for LoR and an agent tier list for Valorant.

Methodology TLDR:

• Our first tier list aimed at lower ELO, specifically Bronze up to high Plat/low Diamond. Our second tier list is for high ELO, aimed at Diamond 2 and above.
• Our experts curate these picks and are an indicator of the champion’s inherent strength when played at the highest level. For many of the user base, this information isn’t super relevant for their games but provides invaluable insight into the game itself.

Let’s say you’re debating between learning and climbing with Jax (A-tier | Simple) or Rengar (A-tier | Severe) – you’re going to want to go with Jax. Why? This is because Jax has a lower skill floor and would require less games to play at an A-Tier level in solo Queue. If you tried to pick up Rengar, you wouldn’t get the full value of A-tier until after about 15 matches of practice whereas with Jax, you would get that full 15 every time you play him.

Expert pick commentary

To see all the explanations for our expert picks and more, head to our tier list feature!

Top –Poppy

• Poppy has been super strong for such a long time now, and despite recent nerfs attempting to slow her down, she’s still one of the best top lane picks you can play.
• She can play weakside with her anti-diving disruptive kit, or she can set up ganks and fights very easily, making her perfectly versatile in all sorts of situations, games and drafts! Plus, if you main top and get filled, Poppy support is still OP!

Jungle – Wukong

• Wukong’s buffs in the last patch have made a real difference and he’s now an excellent pick to play in the majority of games at every single rank.
• He has an easy, fast clear, solid skirmishing and ganking power, fantastic engage, and CC with his ultimate. So, if you want a reliable jungler to main this patch, try him!

Mid – Galio

• Galio has been a fantastic pick all year and is one of the best-performing mid-lane carriers you can pick at all ranks.
• He’s got solid laning, roaming and scaling, and his CC can easily be enough to sway any fight in his favour if he uses it well enough! So, if you want to combine a frontline with a carry to 1v9 this patch, don’t forget about Galio!

Bottom – Jinx

• Jinx has been bouncing between the S and A+ tiers for quite a few patches now, and in 14.23, she’s back to her best again, with Yun Tal Wildarrows sending her back to where she belongs. 
• This item feels like it was made for her. The attack speed steroid synergises super well with her minigun and allows her to deal insane amounts of damage throughout all game stages.
• I guess it’s appropriate for her being meta with Arcane being awesome, so we aren’t complaining.

Support – Braum

• Braum is a beautiful beast of a support right now and although he’s not quite as blind pickable as some other S-tier picks, if you get him in the right games it just feels super easy to win with! 
• He’s an anti-melee machine that can completely dominate fights from as early as level 1 invades, big 2v2s bot or huge team fights in the late game with his passive stuns, crowd control and fantastic peel.

Best Supports for High Elo:

Top – Ambessa

• Ambessa’s changes in Patch 14.23 have seen her rise up the tiers and now she’s one of the most picked and banned champions in the game. 
• Players have now well and honestly figured out how to play her and are proving that she’s way better than most people gave her credit for. Her ability to get stuck into teams, face-smash her keyboard, and come out on top is a powerful trait in a solo queue.
• She does take some practice, so she’s much better in high elo, but if you’ve got what it takes and get the right matchup, she feels super strong!

Jungle – Elise

• Elise is having a fantastic split so far, especially towards higher ranks. She’s always been one of the strongest early-game ganking junglers with her ability to dive enemies effortlessly with her Cocoon and rappel dropping tower aggro.
• She snowballs insanely hard and can start skittering around the map, one-shotting enemies with just a few kills under her belt, so if you like aggressive early-game picks… Play Elise!

Mid – Akshan

• Akshan is currently dealing absurd amounts of damage with his crit build revolving around the Collector, Infinity Edge and Lord Dominik’s Regards. 
• He has solid early damage, and his ability to roam so easily with his W means he can get ahead often and start snowballing his way through games without too much trouble.

Bottom – Corki

• Corki is one of the most contested AD Carries in the game right now in high elo, and it’s not hard to understand why. He packs a TON of damage and doesn’t have a weak point in his game right now, with a strong early game, a powerful mid-game, and excellent late-game scaling.
• He is both a safe pick and one that can play alongside any support pick and into most matchups, so if you need a new ADC to main this patch, try him out!

Support – Karma

• Karma has always been one of the strongest laning supports in the game. She has tremendous 2v2 potential and so much to offer in her poke, shielding, setup CC, and versatility. 
• She can dictate lanes easily with her R-Q combos and bully enemy lanes, so they can’t play the game. She can roam and carry fights around Void Grubs, peel and protect like an enchanter, and tick so many boxes, so she’s so sought after and popular in high elo.

Disclaimer #1: If a champion isn’t on our LoL Tier List, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t climb with them. You’ll just have to put in more effort to get similar results as our Optimal, Great, and Good choices for climbing.
Disclaimer #2: This list is meant to evaluate the champions that we believe are best for climbing Solo Queue. Although there can certainly be some overlap, we are NOT looking to name the champions that are the best in pro-play or organized, competitive 5-on-5. This is why champs that require a ton of team coordination such as Ryze, may not be included or ranked highly.

As always, we welcome all discussion and feedback.
