League of Legends Tier List for Low ELO. Meta Picks for Every Role in Patch 26.17
| Current patch | 26.17 |
| Last updated | 3 hours ago |
In Patch 26.17, based on the assessment of our high elo game experts, the best champions to climb with below low Diamond right now are Yone, Graves, Viktor, Jinx, and Seraphine. 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
Yone is our new Top Lane Pick of the Patch after receiving a nice buff in 26.17. His critical strikes now deal more damage, giving him an even stronger late game once he completes his core items. Farm through the early lane, look for openings with your E and enjoy slicing through entire teams once Yone gets going.

Jungle Tier List
Graves received a nerf, but he remains one of the strongest junglers for climbing. His fast clears, powerful dueling and ability to invade allow him to take control of games early. The nerf reduces some of his snowballing damage, but a Graves with a lead is still incredibly difficult to deal with.

Mid Tier List
Viktor remains our Mid Lane recommendation thanks to his safe laning, reliable wave clear and amazing scaling. His range allows him to pressure opponents without taking unnecessary risks, making him a consistent choice for climbing. Once he collects his upgrades and core items, his damage and zone control can completely take over 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
Seraphine is our new Support Pick of the Patch thanks to her strong poke, team-wide utility and game-changing ultimate. She can pressure enemies throughout the lane while protecting her ADC with healing and shields. Her abilities become even more impactful when teams group, making her a great choice for late-game teamfights.

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.
