League of Legends Tier List for High 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 Camille, Lee Sin, Zed, Kai'Sa, and Thresh. Below, you will find a more detailed assessment of their strengths. For the ranks above low Diamond, we recommend checking out our low 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
The 26.16 adjustments should see Camille return to top lane after her recent spell as support. She has lost some of her early all-in strength, but lower cooldowns give her much better repeat trading in solo lanes. Her mobility, side lane pressure and ability to lock down a priority target make her a powerful choice for experienced top laners.

Jungle Tier List
High elo is where Lee Sin's versatility really shines. He can dictate the pace of a match through early invades, aggressive ganks and clever objective plays. His mechanics take time to master, but a strong Lee Sin player can find opportunities that most junglers cannot and turn a small advantage into complete control of the map.

Mid Tier List
Zed remains POTP as he's one of the strongest laners right now. His laning phase is extremely strong and his slippery movement allows him to pressure opponents without leaving himself exposed. He is especially dangerous when moving into side lanes, where his burst damage and outplay potential make it difficult for squishy champions to match him alone.

Bot Tier List
Kai'Sa is one of the most popular ADCs in high elo right now. She fits comfortably into many different team comps and can play aggressively or passively in lane without any trouble. Her evolved abilities, flexible item choices and repositioning tools allow skilled players to dominate teamfights.

Support Tier List
Thresh is a great support for high elo because there is always something he can do to help his team. He can catch enemies with his hook, stop engages with Flay or use his lantern to pull a teammate out of danger. His kit rewards decision-making, and one well-timed hook or lantern can completely change a fight.

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.
