LoL Tier List For Solo Queue
This 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.

Many users have requested a summarized tier list that just includes suggested champions to play for new players. The tier list below includes the best beginner champions. The tier list is also organized from most beginner-friendly to least beginning friendly (Top, Bot, Support, Mid, Jungle). Since jungle isn't particularly beginner-friendly I've only included two champions on the list.

- Tier 1: Shen
Bot 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.

Instructions and Caveats
- Champions in BOLD I will talk about shortly
- Champions UNDERLINEDmay 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.
League of Legends Tier List Descriptions
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.
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.
Thoughts on Win Rates
League of Legends is an extremely intricate game and this tier list strives to be as accurate as possible to give you the strongest champion picks. We ordered them on the tier list based on what is most likely to give you the highest chance of winning the game. However, the tier list will over time, have a bias towards win rates since this does indicate that the ordering is accurate and not prone to fluctuations in play rate.
With enough playtime, a high win rate on a champion indicates *something* generally goes right, and a low win rate indicates that whatever is happening in games with this champion isn't in their favor.
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.

Counter Picking Champions

LoL Tier List Champion Explanations
Brand [Tier 1 Support]
Post-Liandry's nerfs Brand continues to be a strong performer in a tank-oriented meta. However, being a squishy bot laner does come with its drawbacks, one of which is being a death magnet as a result of his low mobility and disengage potential. That being said, he continues to be a strong tank killer as long as he can survive or snowball through the early game.
Heimerdinger [Tier 1 Top]
Rarely played but easily used, Heimerdinger top is a fun alternative to playing tanks top lane. The good news is, most tanks tend to build Sunfire first item. This gives Heimerdinger a longer period of time for abusing the enemy laner and also an elongated time to free farm. Despite the AP item nerfs, he can still be used effectively as a top lane bully and scale well into the late game.
Kayle [Tier 1 Top]
The attack speed and on-hit item changes hurt Kayle slightly, but she continues to be a powerful tank killer. Hybrid items are always good on her and this preseason has been kind. She deals an immense amount of damage and tends to be much safer than you'd expect from a low mobility (early game) melee champion.
Kayn [God Tier Jungle]
Kayn in his current form is powerful in both blue and red editions. His red version performs stronger in most cases, but his blue is still very viable depending on what your team composition needs.
Lillia [Tier 3 Jungle]
Another victim of the Liandry nerfs Lillia struggles against the powerhouse jungles of the current patch. Most players will find her damage a little lackluster compared to what they've come to expect from a non-tank jungle.
Malphite [Tier 1 Mid]
Simply strong and simply unkillable, Malphite mid is generally built using his standard tank build. He's most effective against AD-based mid laners but he can still work against pretty much anyone. You could also go AP but then you lose out on what makes Malphite so overpowered in the current game version.
Rammus [Tier 4 Top]
Don't sleep on Rammus top. This guy is the perfect counter to melee bruisers which admittedly aren't that strong right now to begin with. However, if you're in draft pick and really want to ruin their day feel free to pick Rammus up against a melee AD match-up and see what they do next.
Teemo [Tier 3 Top]
Poor Teemo. You'd think that he would be as effective as Heimerdinger top lane as an AP-based bully and it was looking good for him for a bit. However, after the Liandry's nerfs his short-range makes him prone to the gray screen of death when matched up against the initiation tanks.
Twitch [Tier 2 Support]
I'm being nice when I put him in Tier 2. That being said, he's viable sure and certainly very popular. In best-case scenario, you have a powerful bot lane like Jhin against a weaker ADC + Support duo that's playing passively. This allows you to roam freely and snowball other lanes while your ADC 1v2's bot lane. However, if you're playing against a Jhin + Leona alongside someone like Vayne or Kai'Sa the struggle becomes real.
Yasuo/Yone [Tier 2 Mid]
Yasuo and Yone's win rates don't seem to be reflective of their actual strength. Overall they're sitting at rock bottom statistically. However, if you look at their item win rates it's actually quite good at two to three items. This indicates severe early game abuse but strong scaling into the late game. That being said, I'm going to place them in Tier 2 and we'll see if it improves as players adapt to a more passive early game.
