Formerly OP #5: Old Master Yi

Leave a Comment

One kill was never just one kill. It reset the whole kit, and then it was your turn.


Some champions get nerfed. Old Master Yi got a full rebuild, because there was no number small enough to fix a swordsman who could not be caught, could not be worn down, and came back to full readiness the moment he cut someone down.

Formerly OP #4: Old Release Xin Zhao

He was not teased, he was not hyped up for weeks, he just showed up on release day already capable of 1v5ing a lobby that had no idea what hit it.


Every era of League has a champion the whole server bans on reflex without checking the matchup first. Xin Zhao earned that reputation before players even had a name for what he was doing to them, in the very same patch he was born in.

For eight straight seasons you could not see her coming. That was the entire point.


With League of Legends Classic bringing back old kits on July 29, we are digging up the champions whose "old kit" earns an audible groan. First up: the demon who spent nearly a decade invisible.

Best Champions Ban Tier List For Ranked by Rank - Patch 26.14 July 2026

Leave a Comment

Mordekaiser Rules the Ladder, Locke Still Haunts on Top

Mordekaiser is the story of this patch's ban phase outside of the very top of the ladder: he's a God Tier ban at every single rank from Emerald down to Bronze/Iron, the only champion on this entire list who can say that. Locke, meanwhile, is still the scariest number on the sheet: three out of every four Diamond+ games see him banned, even though his own win rate never strays far from 50%. Between the two of them, this patch has no shortage of things to fear in champion select.

Patch 26.14 Tier List Changelog Analysis

League of Legends Solo Queue Tier Lists for Patch 26.14: 

The headline story of 26.14 is the wave of nerfs aimed at last patch's most dominant picks: Locke, Senna, and Seraphine all took real number cuts, yet all three are still performing well enough to hold their God Tier slots for now. Top lane saw the bigger shakeup, with Mordekaiser and Teemo climbing into God Tier as Garen's true damage got trimmed down and he settled into Tier 1 instead. Nocturne and Briar have joined a returning Nasus at the top of the jungle, and Tristana joins Senna and Seraphine in a three-wide God Tier bot lane. Thresh remains the most consistently dominant support in the game.

Official Patch 26.14 Notes Summary and Rundown!

Leave a Comment
Patch Notes thumbnailPandemonium's Patch 26.14 is here, and it's mostly a mid-lane shakeup with a Locke follow-up nerf and a T1 championship skin wave dropping alongside it. Corki, Mordekaiser, Nami, and Yunara all get real power added back in, while Garen, Jayce, Locke, Senna, and Seraphine get reeled in after strong showings. Azir doesn't get numbers touched at all. Riot instead fixed a pile of item/rune interaction bugs that were quietly underselling him. Blue Buff also picks up scaling Ability Haste to matter more in the late-game jungle, and ARAM/Arena both get their usual pass of augment and champion tuning.

FOTM Report: Thresh Support

Leave a Comment
Thresh splash art

Ten-plus years in and Thresh still tops the solo queue support charts. Turns out that's not an accident.


As of Patch 26.13, Thresh sits at God Tier on the current solo queue tier list, leading every support in play rate. No rework, no big buff, just a decade-old kit that keeps punishing anyone who hasn't put in the reps against it.


Check out the details on runes and builds below!
