League of Legends: Senarai Tier Champion

Shyvana's rework had such a dramatic impact on the game that she received a hotfix within a day, resulting in her not even ranking anymore. Ahri lost base Q damage, resulting in having a weaker hold on mid-lane with a reduction of 5 per rank. Pyke also got nerfed with base armor dropping to 37 from 43, too lean for bottom lane.

Other changes were Azir's scaling buffs restored, and Zaahen getting nerfed after proving too dominant in both top lane and jungle.

Nidalee (Jungle) maintains an impressive 62.3% win rate with her early-game pressure and cougar-form burst damage, able to clear out enemy team junglers before second camp. Darius (Top Lane) has no existing weak matchups.

Twisted Fate (Mid Lane) gained ground after Ahri's nerfs, and his ganks utilizing a Gold Card and Destiny combo give him a competitive edge as the best map-wide pressure tool in solo queue. Jinx (ADC) remains the most consistent carry for bottom lane throughout ELO.

Soraka's Ultimate makes her the best blind pick support, while Diana continues to win 5v5 with fast clearing and crowd control. Garen still has a strong punish game with silence-and-execute, and Katarina fuels snowballs with Voracity resets. These S-tier champions are unmatched right now.

Viego (Jungle) is best for turning team fights by possessing champions, and Kayle (Top Lane) can unleash a level-16 power spike with team-carry potential through her late-game scaling. Ahri (Mid-lane) is still highly viable despite nerfs to her kit.

Caitlyn and Xayah are the best bot lane champions in this group, both excelling at consistent attack damage output. These support champions, Leona and Thresh, provide engage and peel, while Shen's Stand United is still one of the best Ultimates for map play.

These champions perform well, but with a catch or restriction. Olaf (Top Lane) received buffs, mostly to jungling, and retains the ability to run backlines with Ragnarok. Jarvan IV (Jungle) is a reliable ganker in addition to Cataclysm lockdown, but falls off late-game.

Viktor (Mid Lane) has immobility that's too vulnerable against assassins, and Miss Fortune (ADC) has Double Up as punish but lacks mobility for self-peel against aggressive mid laners. You can see this pattern for every champ here. Nami (Support) pairs well with aggressive ADCs but not passive laners.

Some champions require conditions that are too strict or restrictive, making them less viable, relegating them to this group. Kassadin needs to survive a whole 25 minutes before he gets rolling. Ezreal (ADC) requires top precision to even match damage numbers from Jinx or Caitlyn.

Yuumi (Support) is too specialized with superior utility and no lane pressure, while Udyr (Jungle) clears camps quickly but is too predictable for effective ganking.

These are picks better left off the roster in the current meta. Pyke (Support) lost 6 base armor, resulting in bad matchups costing half his HP. Zeri (ADC) is in rebalance hell, while Ryze (Mid Lane) remains a solo queue trap with high skill requirements that mostly yield bad results.
