SEASON 3 - PATCH 3.14 SOLO QUEUE TIER LIST
PRESEASON UPDATE

This List has been updated, and new versions are available via this link

Preface Chatter
Riot's really outdone themselves this time. There are SO many changes...Supports and jungles especially have been changed for better or for worse, and with the new masteries in place several champions that fell out of favor actually received a decent sized buff.

With that being said, there will still likely be a couple tweaks to the list between now and the next patch update, so bear with me as I shuffle a couple things around based on the meta changes and misc. oversights on my part.

Champion Additions/Removals:
  • Took out AP Corki mid
  • Added "AP" to Ezreal mid
  • Added Riven mid
  • Added Lissandra top
Updates:
  • 11/27 - Moved Eve up a bit, still mixed on her placement, but she can snowball hard.
  • 1129 - Moved Shyvana and Olaf up a bit, moved Akali up to Tier 1
  • 12/7 - Moved Mundo up to Tier 1

  • Champions in BOLD I will talk about shortly
  • Champions UNDERLINED may be over/undervalued, but aren't/haven't played enough for me to make a better judgement.
  • 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.

Champion Explanations
  • Gangplank - With the Relic Shield passive still working on his Q (just no execute), Gangplank gets a ton of gold in lane and is definitely one of the more "valuable" supports. Although he didn't get a utility buff, the amount of gold he picks up makes him an extremely high damage potential support. Combined with Caitlyn, their level 1 damage potential is insane.
  • Leona - Leona and Taric are broken right now. It's not like Season 2's start though. At the beginning of Season 2 the reason why Taric was insanely broken was that he could trade at any time and come out ahead as long as he landed stun + shatter. However, the reason they're strong now is that they've been giving tankiness scaling beyond anything that we've seen on supports before now. This combined with the amount of gold they're getting means that their scaling is just way above the norm.
  • Lissandra - Simply not a very solo queue friendly champion. She's very good in a coordinated team, but more often then not your team will react a little too slow and you'll find yourself a little too deep and firmly rooted.
  • Lucian - I think the Korean teams have shown why he deserves a top tier spot...
  • Malphite - Malphite's been untouched for so long that his stats have caught up to everyone else's in top lane. At this point his trading ability is actually pretty high compared to most champions, and his burst damage with his ultimate is nothing to scoff at. Rather than being a usual passive lane, Malphite now has some serious kill potential.
  • Riven - Oh. Riven. How should I begin...nothing's really *changed* about her except for some number tweaks and the change on her Q. I think the main thing is that after several *professional* players started playing her, the public wised up to her damage potential even at low health. Unfortunately for everyone else, pulling off these combos are fairly easy if all of your spells are up. This means that while previously Rivens would try and run away at low health, now they turn around and everyone outplays...easily. Mid lane Riven isn't overpowered, but she's definitely viable.
  • Swain - Swain's damage output and tankiness have always been obnoxious, but now that the major assassins have been nerfed, keeping the lid on him is harder than ever. This combined with the buffs on him a while ago have really made him one of the biggest pains in the world. Although I've placed him lower than Kassadin, don't accidentally think that Kassadin counters Swain. He simply snowballs teams harder.
  • Talon - The new masteries favor him well, and with the other assassins nerfed he's very strong at the moment.
  • Taric - See Leona. Basically the same reasons, but even more so. He just has so much scaling and extra gold now...but as I mentioned he's not OP for the same reasons as Season 2, so don't go playing him the way you did back then...as I learned the hard way.
  • Teemo - Teemo is insanely strong now with the deletion of Oracles and pink wards being visible. Not only that, but the new offensive hybrid masteries boost his damage by a ton. He's still squishy and can lose/get camped in lane fairly easily, but even losing lane he'll be a serious threat if he manages to farm up a bit.
  • Twisted Fate - Still a viable pick, but there are better choices at the moment.
  • Udyr - Strong duelist, very tanky, not much else to say in the realm of junglers. He has decent stats compared to others and good clear time.
  • Zed - Heavily nerfed, there are better picks now. Still viable though if you like to play him.

  4. SSJSuntasticNovember 27, 2013

    He's just got a very safe laning phase and a monster late game. Now that they've increased his stack speed and nerfed all the assassins, mid lane doesn't snowball as hard and allows for him to make a massive impact.

    ReplyDelete
  5. SSJSuntasticNovember 27, 2013

    You would think so, but that's not shown by her win rate. I think it's because most of the popular champions are either extremely mobile or extremely tanky, which she has a tough time ganking. Evelynn's also still a somewhat squishy champ, so she relies on her ally(s) responding quickly enough before the enemy team she's trying to gank bursts her down.

    Is Singed still in the God tier? I personally believe he doesn't really fit in to current meta. Could you please explain that choice? Other than that, an amazing list and very well done :)

    ReplyDelete
  8. Could you please explain how you feel shyvana fits in the new meta? I thought she would be a contender for god tier in terms of jungle, as I don't feel any of the current gods except for vi can clear at a fast enough rate to get the most out of the new jungle, while still being an active threat.



    Also does rammus really belong as the number 1 jungler. I have played about 60 games with him in solo q and have around a 70% win rate, but I just can't find a setup that allows him a decent clear speed.

  10. Hello SSJSuntastic,

    I main Olaf since 3.13 in jungle. At the moment he is in you tier 3 list. I am sure he is a higher tier but people do not know how to use him at best. I prefer 21-9-0 masteries on him. This gives me great benefit whole game. Most people play him with 21 in defense this is what makes him lackluster. Change the masteries and he is hidden OP for me.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Quite confused on the sudden Talon jump to God Tier. You didn't explain much in the Champion Explanations either. Any further details on this please?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Patrik Wuzzup ŘihaNovember 27, 2013

    I think Twisted Fate could win lane against every ap champion (excluding fizz, akali). I think you understimate his power. He has acceptional laning phase, strong mid-game phase (cause of ganks and stuff), and his burst in late can desolate everyone. IMO, he should be in tier 2. And about talon. He is strong in lane, you can destory everything on mid (except non-mid champions like riven, renekton, j4 etc.), but he is so weak in team fights. He need to take out your carry, but he must go to very close range to take him, where is whole enemy team grouped. He is good IMO only when you wanted to set up ambush. MY opinions, dont flame me.

    Reason for Ziggs god tier?

  15. SSJSuntasticNovember 27, 2013

    I think Singed still has the potential there for sure, but if 2v1 lanes become more of a "thing" in solo queue, he could be in for some serious trouble. It's just the fact that his strategy is so easy to execute in solo queue, and it's one of those "be-super-annoying" split-push-forever strategies.

    ReplyDelete
  16. SSJSuntasticNovember 27, 2013

    With the way people are warding right now Shyvana is definitely very good, and if she snowballs she snowballs HARD. Her waveclear is definitely amazing either in the jungle or in lane, but she still suffers from a lack of CC.


    As for Rammus, I'd say yes he's still insanely good. His ganking potential is simply too strong and his late game CC + tankiness is obnoxious.

    ReplyDelete
  17. SSJSuntasticNovember 27, 2013

    It's really the new masteries, I mean it's not completely game-breaking but the new masteries definitely give him a lot of extra juice that he didn't have before. I might have moved him up a bit drastically, we'll give him a little time to see.

  18. TheBoyWhoLivedNovember 27, 2013

    Great list as always.

    Can you give a bit more info about Lucian's move to God tier please? I've barely laned against him since his release, and thought he was too skill-shot dependent and barely viable?

    ReplyDelete
  19. 3.13 Patch had made him a complete monster and now with mid lane not being so assassin centralized, Ziggs is now one of the best mid.

    ReplyDelete
  20. SSJSuntasticNovember 27, 2013

    I've got a few posts explaining why in the strategy section on page two, it gives a more in-depth explanation :)

    ReplyDelete
  21. SSJSuntasticNovember 27, 2013

    It's possible, he's not really a highly played champ at the moment so maybe some people out there are playing him at a higher level.

    ReplyDelete
  22. From my experience in the pre-season olaf and shyvana are total dominant forces in the jungle, their clear speeds are crazy and they easily get the most use out of the new jungle items which mostly suck or alternatively then can avoid them all together with no hinderance, they are both beasts at dueling currently plus with the new masteries olaf is really scary right now. On a side note how come you havent mentioned anything to do with the 2-1-2 strategy where top lane gets 2 targons and one of them still has smite. The gold got from this method is pretty obnoxious since the gold in the jungle is unreliable at best as your team farms it.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Malphite Top is in tier 1 and 2, and Malphite jungle is missing ;)
    Excellent tier list, keep up the good work!

  24. I seen him picked or banned in korean servers. But in my server-EUW he is not a common pick at all indeed. I find him hidden OP and hope no one else pick him so I can keep maining him haha.

  25. He is so easy to counter that I just see him as very strong. Kass for one will shut you down hard and unless you sit under tower you feed your lane.

    Wukong na God Tier, BOA! Não sei porque ele não é muito popular, é extremamente forte e acho até que deveria ser nerfado apesar dele ser meu principal champ.

    ReplyDelete
  28. The funny thing is I have and still do main talon and finally he's gotten some recognition :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I still don't know why Quinn is on the low tier 2 list. I've played her recently and she has a pretty good laning phase if you avoid harass correctly. She is extremely good (especially with an aggressive support such Blitzcrank or Leona) as her "all-in" is definitely nothing to laugh about. Overall i think it's time shes moved up from tier 2

    ReplyDelete
  30. Pantheon mid is in both tier 1 and tier 2, and he's missing from top.

    ReplyDelete
  31. What masteries make talon god tier? I would like to know since I play him as my alternate mid.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Shouldn't Akali be in a higher tier? She has strong burst and high mobility. Snowballing with her isn't too hard.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Olaf Q is now significantly worse cc wise than it was prior to his rework. Sure he has a great kit for jungling, (as most ad junglers do) but his ganking is a bit lack luster and he is far better suited for top laning now, as his Q is now better for poke and harass rather than cc.

  34. (strandedon)thewrongbeachNovember 27, 2013

    lucian god tier? koreans showed that? was it in the last tournament which I didn't watch? because if so I'm watching it!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Sivir's Q nerf are like Jax's W nerf. Didn't really do much except slightly lower her early game damage. It's so minimal that after 1-2 points in her Q, she feels the same.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Also AD assassins like Zed, Talon, or really anyone with hyper mobility can rape TF. His W at tough situations takes time to load up if an assassin comes out of nowhere and people with burst or 'intargetability' can eat TF because he's AA reliant. TF is also heavily team reliant.

    ReplyDelete
  37. We won't find Quinn higher on the tier list unless she gets some buffs or some pros play well with her like Lucian. Quinn is like the awkward child that doesn't fit in with any of the AD carries. She has an ultimate where she becomes melee. She will always be tier 2.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Might be some of the reasons why.
    Lucian has an OP passive, literally a ranged master yi.
    Very high burst included with his passive.
    High mobility and his kiting is as almost good as sivir.
    Easy to play if you know how to use Q and know what places to jump in or out with E.
    New masteries made him better. It always reminds me of Nasus because Nasus became impossible to force off top lane b/c of those masteries.
    One of the worst ults in the game like Graves' ult. hey it's something. Sooner or later he's going to be dropped off into tier 1 or tier 2.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Nerfs to meta assassins made him stronger (he also has silence for mid which is always a nice asset), new masteries fit his playstyle too

    ReplyDelete
  40. Does nasus or renekton carry harder? I want to know who to main for top lane. thanks

  41. How to post as Guest?November 28, 2013

    I've seen a lot of Talon lately; and I am convinced he's back a lot stronger than before; dunno if God Tier, but at the very least Tier 1.

    The new masteries grant him very high kill and roam potential very early, which allows him to snowball the team for when he's outscaled. Basically, once he hits lvl 6 everyone must be scared of him coming to gank. The changes to pink wards also favor him quite a lot. His ganking is impossible to counter if you don't know he's coming (and you won't unless you have pinks); since he can do his whole combo in less than a second (that you will be helpless during, due to silence). He can literally melt a squishie very fast, forcing them to stay near tower; and force top lane to retun to base whenever he's close to half health; thus giving him a huge presence that furthers how easily you can win.

    Also, many good Zed players moved to playing Talon, and I guess they did that for a reason.

    Don't get me wrong, Talon has a lot of weaknesses, he's strong and he gets the job done as an assassin (bursting down carry). I personally think he'll get a lot more popular, and once carries are tired of dying to him, will cry out for a nerf, that will be granted. That if Yasuo doesn't replace him before he has a chance to shine again, that could happen.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think Olaf should be looked into more. I have an extremely high winrate with him in the jungle in Solo Queue, or at least I did in S3. Take LS quints and start with a Doran's Blade, and you'll have tons of sustain and clear speed with your Q and W, and as long as you can land your axes from long range, ganks are ALWAYS a kill if the enemy laner overextends, or as long as your teammate follows up with some CC of their own. Throw the axe, pick up the axe, throw the axe, pick up the axe, throw the axe (that's like, 400 damage right there before level 6 while their laner is slowed to oblivion) then press W and autoattack whilst spamming E. I always manage to get two kills before my first back, then carry games by building tanky and getting Ravenous Hydra/Bloodthirster/Frozen Mallet.

    The reason people do poorly with Olaf is because they don't have the axe mechanics down. In the jungle, you can keep picking up and throwing your axe from very short range for the extra tons of damage, and that thing has AWESOME range and slowing potential if you can lead the skillshot (which isn't hard at all). Just max it first and constantly shove it down peoples' throats. Top lane, it's a fantastic harass tool, and since Olaf is a solid duelist, it's super helpful to hit a few axes to whittle down that pesky Riven's health, then outduel her with your AS steroid, life steal, Ult (which keeps you from being disabled and gives you tons of AD), and constant E's (which reset off autoattacks). Koreans are starting to use him a lot more too and it's easy to see why.

    This is a good and much-needed tier list though. Plus, I'm glad people are finally considering Syndra a strong pick. :) Keep up the good work, OP.

    (PS, I think AP Ez is pretty darn strong as well. What was your reasoning for putting him so low?)

  48. TonyTheLiger1412November 29, 2013

    Orianna has a slow, speed up, armor/mr buff, shield. No hard cc until her ult, even then, that's just a toss that disables their attacks and movement for maybe 0.6 seconds, with a horrendous cooldown. No heals either, not that they're necessary though. Everything she does is very damage oriented, and the slight utility of them isn't going to make you a support. It's the same reason there's no support Ziggs, even though he'd work just as well, with his AoE slow and AoE knock up.

    ReplyDelete
  49. TonyTheLiger1412November 29, 2013

    Ziggs was always one of the most annoying people to lane against, if you were an APC. He has very long range, short cooldown, powerful harass and can farm very well with his Q. The only reason he wasn't god tier previously is because assassins were so common in mid, and they were a tough counter to him. Ziggs can pretty easily keep people at a distance, but if a slippery assassin like Zed, Akali, or Kha'Zix were to get around his constant harass for short time, they'd easily jump on him and burst him down. Even though he keeps people away pretty well, he has a lot of trouble getting people off of him once they get up close. Since all those up close and personal kind of people are getting nerfed, he's now god tier, because those were his only real counters.

    ReplyDelete
  50. TonyTheLiger1412November 29, 2013

    He is in tier 2 though...

    ReplyDelete
  51. The indirect change that we SoloQ'ers have found is that Draven is one hell of a 'high risk, high reward' champion. His passive gave him great sustained burst and was hard to fight, but now his passive lets him snowball to hell. He gets way more gold than he should on a kill thanks to his passive. It at first looks like a nerf, but it can also be a buff. Draven still has a super early game and an insane late game, he's still one of the best ADCs out there.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Renekton can carry hard early-mid, but he's just a meat shield late game. He has some utility for the team thanks to his armor reduction on E and also a 1.5 second stun, but that's about it. Renekton fares best against squishy champions. The only way renekton can really carry is if he's fed. He also has escapes unlike Nasus and has a good gap closer unlike Nasus.
    Nasus on the other hand has no carrying potential early game. He has average potential mid game where you have around 200-300 stacks. If your team has been doing well and you have 400-600+ stacks late game, it's pretty much a GG. He has a devastating late game AS LONG AS YOU STACK YOUR Q. He also has greater utilty than Renekton, but nasus has shit early game.
    Renekton depends on kills to carry a game by himself. Nasus depends on his stacks. They're both very SoloQ friendly champions. You can't dive them and they can still work very well even if you don't build tank items. In fact it's reccomended that you build tank items for both of them. Nasus generally can carry harder for prolonged games, while Renekton is the opposite. Main Nasus right now. He's quite broken because of the new defensive masteries giving him almost infinite sustain. Not even a teemo can shove nasus out of lane anymore.

  56. Why are Urgot and Zilean that bad? They're the only champions that are tier 4 in every role.
    Also, what´s the problem with Tryndamere jungler? I never played Tryndamere, but I thought he was a good jungler...

    ReplyDelete
  57. BoltOfSpadesNovember 29, 2013

    Zilean lacks the utility most players look for in a champion. He has a slow/quicken and a revive, but neither of those are very useful in the late game unless you build ap.
    Urgot's range is the shortest in the game, champions like Caitlyn and Tristana can get 1 or 2 hits on him before he can even get in range.
    Tryndamere is a good jungler, but everything he offers is surpassed by other champions, especially Aatrox. Overall, he works, but there are better choices.

  60. Malcolm BessNovember 29, 2013

    Well Lucian was good how he was, however he was only good in higher elo due to his high skill cap. Basically what i am saying is that he has been god tier for a while.

    ReplyDelete
  61. This might sound douchey but Shyvanna and Olaf are the two strongest junglers at the moment and honestly should be in god tier. Do I have to explain Shyvanna? with her skyrocket playrate her power should be apparent. She can build extremely tanky and still put out retarded amounts of dps. Olaf is likewise, and his early and mid game power atm is ridiculously good. He really shouldn't be sitting at a tier three position. I want to say this is all my opinion but it's really not as so many pro players and league experts are saying the same things

    ReplyDelete
  62. SSJSuntasticNovember 29, 2013

    Not at all, I've actually been keeping careful track of Olaf and Shyvana in particular. I think Shyvana might get moved up a bit, but I'm still not sold on Olaf. I'll admit that he's balanced, but I think there's a clear bridge between solo queue and competitive league when it comes to our favorite viking barbarian.


    The main issue with Olaf is that while he might be unstoppable to a point, the cover a solo queue team provides for a disengage or a follow up isn't nearly as coordinated as in a ranked team. For a game in which Olaf is the main source of engage, even if he does well early to mid game, he doesn't allow for the same follow-up potential as lot of other strong top lane champions.


    Sejuani is only of the most underplayed champions in the league right now. Considering how easy she is to execute for how big a reward she puts out, I'm really surprised more people don't play her. In solo queue, successfully invading can be quite risky since the enemy team's laners will always be closer, and your own will almost never respond in time. Her late game utility is also much higher than Olaf or Shyvana.

    Renekton's just a very solid pick overall with strong lane sustain and the ability to outplay...if he's good enough. Sounds like you just know the matchup well enough to take advantage of any openings they create :)

    Volibear's still fairly strong, but is definitely hurt slightly by the fact that most supports have been running ignite instead of exhaust now.

    AP Ezreal's very much a one trick pony. After the nerf to the range/aspd reduction on his W, the safety of his main AP spells was dropped greatly. That combined with the fact that if he misses his ultimate the majority of his burst damage is gone, means that there's a very small margin for error.


    People definitely succeed with him, but it's not something that happens without a LOT of practice, much more than most other champions that do the same amount of damage.

    He destroys all the other APCs. The only thing holding him back was the large amount of assassins in mid. Now that most assassins are nerfed, and therefore, less common and less of a threat when they appear, he can dominate in most of his match ups.

  70. TonyTheLiger1412November 30, 2013

    He's a very basic champion that relies almost completely on basic attacks. He's very easy to outplay. If you know how he works, which just about 100% of level 30s do, then you can easily make plays on him to beat him in a trade. As far as jungling, he has amazing sustain in the jungle and average clear time, but without his ult, his ganks are just bad. As far as being a strong duelist, he's suddenly becomes worse than every duelist as soon as they ignite him, or against anyone else with grievous wounds. You can also build Morellonomicon or Executioner's Calling if he gets fed, and that will keep him under control as long as the holders of those items are alive.

    Usually by the time he gets his first kill/assist, he has over 90 stacks on his passive, and he starts snowballing a bit ahead of other ADCs when they get their first kill. He gets a minimum of 50 bonus gold on each kill iirc, and he'll have over 50 stacks at any given time, except half way through a team fight.

    ReplyDelete
  73. TonyTheLiger1412November 30, 2013

    He's a good ADC. You have to farm with his basic attacks and Q simultaneously, but you will actually secure more last hits this way. If you have good reflexes, you can a lot of moves with your E, and out play people completely. One thing I suggest doing is, when farming with your AA and Q, never go below 100 mana, and at level 6, don't go below 200. You'll need to save some in case you get in trouble and need to teleport. At 6 you need to save some for teleporting, and also some for if you see a possible kill/kill secure with your ult.

  76. I was kind of stuck on playing Lux, and needed to find another champ to learn to play, and I had never really seen anyone play Swain (once in a while, but VERY rarely) but he looked like he was fun to play, so I decided to give him a shot after seeing him rated so highly, I started playing him and he's really good and a lot of fun (I love how deceptively tanky he is). He doesn't get countered very easily from what I've seen (although I did have one hell of a time against a Kayle mid). Thanks for this list, it's really helped me out. I still need to find another ADC to play besides Ashe though, and I hated playing Lucian, and thought Tristana seemed really good. She's not too highly rated but I've seen some pretty amazing Tristana players which makes me think she's stronger than the rating she has, but I've never actually tried her. Once again, thanks for this list.

  77. He is definitely not a fast jungler... because he doesn't do a lot of damage his clear speed is lacking, but he definitely makes up for it by being probably the best jungler in the game when it comes to ganking. Also his ultimate makes him great at helping push lanes or split-pushing late game. Not only that but his tankiness and his AOE damage on his ult + taunt and Thornmail make him amazing in team fights. Even though his early game damage is pretty bad which makes him a slower jungler, he makes up for it in other areas. I'm also not sure if he deserves to be the number one jungler, but he is definitely one of the best right now. I'm probably the worst jungler in NA but Rammus is the only champion that I've jungled with and actually done well, which says a lot.

  84. Well think about it closely. Ult is barely viable as a finisher. Anyone can just jump out of it and it can get cockblocked by minions. It's only used for kiting with the W,R combo. Just because he's high in the tierlist doesn't mean every skill that Lucian has is 'godly'. It's as unimpactful and useless as maokai's ult.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Jim PaponettiDecember 01, 2013

    His Ult isn't used as a finisher, it's used a harasser and wave clear due to its short CD. One of the main reasons Lucian recent success is his ability to push lanes and quickly take towers with sheen proc and passive. Calling his Ult one of the worst in the games is completely false and ignorant. Not every Ult is meant as a finisher

    Zilean: Not a whole lot of utility or damage. His kit can, situationally, be very good though.


    Tryndamere jungle: His ganks are pretty far from terrifying relative to many other junglers. He's great in-lane, but his jungling is sub-par.

  99. Nicolas CageDecember 02, 2013

    He's a pretty fun ADC, and is fairly powerful (don't be worried about picking an underpowered champ).


    My favorite ADC is Draven, followed by Quinn and then Varus. Draven's a very hit-or-miss champ, and doing well with him is insanely rewarding. Quinn's not an extremely strong ADC, but I enjoy her kit and unique gameplay for an ADC. As far as Varus is concerned, I find he performs very consistently and works well with just about every support, and can contribute CC to teamfights with his ult.

  100. Hello SSJSuntastic,

    theres a few things i have to say after reading ur list and comments.
    1)
    u gotta be less conformist from ppl in the comment section (yes, i see
    the irony) i mean just because some1 is good at akali or olaf jungle
    doesmt mean its actually better than it was or than u consider it to be.
    dont succumb to this pressure.

    2) u got too many champs on god
    tier in my opinion. god tier is for the ones that it is really hard to
    lose as, and not just any champ with a nice kit. i say cut it down to
    2-3 champs per role, who really shine. ur not riot, u dont owe us equal
    numbers in the tiers.

    3) u must consider escape tools as a
    catagory to judge upon, especially when were talking about mid adc and
    top (unless very tanky). i mean its nice to be good against alot of
    champions but when u get out of position or just a smart gank, its
    crutial that u'll have a plan b. lets say swain, hes incredible in lane,
    but its not a 1vs1 game. hes easly ganked and that matters.

    4) i like ur list, keep updating

    ReplyDelete
  101. Reasons for Tryndamere god tier in top lane? He can be countered extremely easily (terrible early game). Don't get me wrong, I kind of main tryndamere and love him, but really in lane if you don't get a gank/kill before 6 it's difficult.

    Tryndamere's just one of those champions that have exceedingly high push potential and survivability. Left to his own devices, he'll eventually push in the lane by himself and with the game. Also, if you don't pick someone that counters him, he'll almost always end up feeding off your ally in lane.


    Basically, he just has a very simple to execute strategy that forces everyone on the enemy team to focus on him.

I don't think twitch is bad at all, it's just that my experience in gold and below has been that twitch players tend to get bullied in lane and have trouble positioning well to use their ult in team fights, so Twitch seems like a champ with fantastic potential but with a high skill cap. Since the majority of players are bronze-silver, I was surprised to see him there.

    Teemo's range is too small to be considered a true AD carry, he also doesn't have any "ADC" steroids and is mostly played as a bruiser. His 2v2 laning ability is somewhat gimicky as he does do well against AD carries early game due to his blind, but his late game glass cannon scaling isn't very good.

    Actually, even though pink wards are visible, they are actually cheaper, and it's much easier to bring one into lane with you. I'm not even against anything more than Silver I's at best, and people are putting down a pink ward as soon as I jump on them in lane, and they force me to flash out, or in some cases I can just jump to a minion close to my turret. Still, pink wards are a problem, and for 475, people can pretty much always have one at hand.

  144. TonyTheLiger1412December 05, 2013

    Because the ult shadow spawns in your starting location, rather than behind your target, it makes escape much easier, but it significantly lowers your damage and slow %. His single target burst does less damage, and his W can't juke quite as well as it used to.

    Everyone plays the game differently. A large portion of players just do exactly what the SoloMid, MobaFire, etc, builds tell them to, and will often play characters because of their position on the tier list. The smaller portion that makes at least most of their decisions by themselves will have unique ideas that the majority of people have never seen, nor thought of. Fiddlesticks is a god tier jungler.

    Support: Morgana, Nunu,

    Oh wait , NUNU ? He's a BEAST right now , that poke is insane , and he can pretty much ignore anyone and recover all his HP !

    You can play Offensive and Defensive (Blue and Green supp item)

    He's too a beast top (Not saying jungle cause he needs a lot of skill in my opinion and a lot of people says that its the easiest while almost of them dont know how to like trick2g for example)

    Nunu might be able to sustain very well in lane, but so do almost all the other supports as well with the new items. Also, his poke leaves him open to all-in support combos since his poke and his peel happen to be the same skill. Normally it's not an issue, but with the amount of damage Taric and Leona put out right now, it's dropped his win rate to bottom 10% since 3.14 hit.


    He's very easy to survive and play, but his late game potential falls greatly behind other champions due to item scaling.

    I'll have to agree with you on that, Mundo's actually very good now, but perseverance will be getting nerfed next patch. Will move him temporarily up to tier 1 and then reevaluate once the patch hits.

    Why is Karthus so low? I feel like with the nerfs to assassins he's much better than he was before

    Dear friend, when are you adding Twisted Fate ADC to the list?


    Since season 2 I am asking, and since season 2 he was buffed like 100 times for adc, and nerfed 100 times for apc.


    seriosly, he is my main adc in ranked!!! The only times I lose with him are when I get afks or when eu west lags, again.

    Hi,idk about Olaf jungle,it should be probably better than before but its not that good imho...lots of top lane meta laners have dashes,mid can easily escape from his ganks not to mention the bot lane....and about top lane Olaf....i speak from platinum experience....when i see olaf picked and i know he is going top....my zed will crush him closed eyes...its so easy,and zed isnt even banned anymore....he is not even nearly as strong as riven(riven should be damn higher man in god tier),renekton,jax......u put wukong so high?if he is so high then rengar should be higher as well.....singed,riven so high?...then kennen top(i simply destroy rivens and singeds with him) should be as well considered and placed high....xd....tryndamere definitely not desrving top 5 man...and nasus is a definite number 1 in solo=yolo queue....there is no champion that can completely shut down nasus,unless somehow u get like double buff from first blood on their jungler and freeeze lane forever(extreme and maybe only example)...its simply not normal.just my few cents,idk,its hard to do tier lists,i know.

    How much of a nerf is it getting? I can't seem to find where they state the actual amount?

    You guys are forgetting something else. They gave a buff across the board to all hybrid characters. The new mastery system gives her 3% extra magic damage and 3% extra physical damage, and then 1 point to get penetration in both is an enormous buff.

    Mundo is a t3 jungle because of his lack of solid CC. He doesn't have a good gap closer and if you miss his 1 slow your gank goes all to heck. If you do land you can still miss your gank. In solo queue it is just too hard to count on your teammates to make the most of your ganks if you don't have a consistent form of CC.

    ReplyDelete
  177. Joshua ScovelDecember 08, 2013

    Also, you said it yourself. He has good ganks with a lane with good lock on CC. Pretty much every jungle has exceptional ganks if a lane has a good lock on CC.

    ReplyDelete
  178. Joshua ScovelDecember 08, 2013

    Yeah, think about it. Sej has a gap closer/knock up, a massive slow, strong damage, and an ult that slows as well on a low cool down. Shes a pain.

    Nic, you are a little off base on Urgot. His late game damage is unarguably one of the highest. The problem is the amount of time it takes to get there. You have to get manamune maxed out, you have to get frozen heart, you have to get trinity force. These leave him with a weak early/mid game. Also in solo queue, you really need to have good team coordination. Given enough time Urgot can hypercarry with the boost from manamune and trinity force. Q + auto takes a TON of health from an enemy.
    His other big problem is the incredible shortness of his range. Yes he is tankier than most adcs but he is much more susceptible to ganks.
    Question though, what is something that can be done to get Urgot into a playable tier without just buffing his damage?

    That's because you are in Bronze. In Bronze people don't build for anything at all.

    Jax jungle can certainly work, but his lack of consistent CC keep him from being a top tier jungler. Don't just look to see if you can do good with him, look to see how good he does without good communication. In solo tier jungle that is what really makes a difference; how good can you lock down enemies? and for how long?

  182. Mundo was moved to Tier 1, guess I was right

    Mundo's very strong right now with the new masteries, he was just a bit underplayed and off my radar for a while.

  184. please add gangplank mid. i've been doing it recently its really not that bad. i'd say its in the balanced tier.

  185. Joshua ScovelDecember 08, 2013

    But his jungle isn't really that solid. The last of CC makes ganking really hard. I agree with the top lane, but his health regen at low levels doesn't really increase his clearing time by much and his lack of any type of gap closer makes it super hard to gank without a lot of communication

  186. Definitely waiting for rengar to move up and i think jayce should too

  187. Hello I am just wondering on the Dr. Mundo jump i am wondering what makes him in such a high tier i understand he is a great jungler with amazing speeds and great counter jungler and an unkillable tank but his ganks are iffy wouldnt you say? and without strong ganks in soloq that you can rely heavily on yourself for completing is pretty hard could you list something else that makes him stand out in the crowd?

  188. The thing about Ap tristana is that she's an all in champion and she really only burst one person down at a time. She depends on getting a kill for her safety. IN team fights she gives NOOOOO utility at ALLL. As apc you wouldn't jump in there in the middle of the team, you ain't diana. Bad team fight champion and only a super burster. Very risky

    I play on the KR server as Platinum and recently started playing Nautilus. Compared to what I've seen with high elo Jarvan and Rammus junglers, I'm entitled to say that Nautilus' ganks are not outmatched by the god tier junglers early and mid game. He is undervalued and underplayed but I think he deserves a God tier spot.

    ReplyDelete
  190. SSJSuntasticDecember 09, 2013

    Once he gets to a fight, Nautilius' ability to tank and gank is definitely on par, if not higher than Jarvan and Rammus. I think the only thing holding him back is movement ability. While a lot of god tier junglers can use their gap closers from beyond warding distance to get themselves into a lane, getting out of base and into ganks with Nautilus just happens to be slower since you wouldn't generally hook yourself into lane. If you do, you lose one of your primary CC skills during the gank itself.

    Challenger tier is hardly an indication of how good a champion is, sometimes the only person playing that champion happens to also be the only person that's good at him. You'll note that he's nowhere near the top on the top played list, if he was on both then it'd be a clear indication that we're missing out on something important.

  192. SSJSuntasticDecember 09, 2013

    His late-game was nerfed a few patches ago, and he's still squishy enough to be taken down very fast by a lot of popular champions even with assassins off the field since he has no escapes once they're on top of him.

    I use MS quints and AS marks. Starting with a machete I rush boots of mobility and running behind bot lane to land a gank with 447 movement speed is pretty easy.

  194. SSJSuntasticDecember 09, 2013

    That's true, but you could run the same set up on any jungler too. I'm not saying nautilus isn't good, but I think that God tier junglers are just a little better and have a few more options available to them.

    No one buys a pink because it's too annoying, you spend 100 gold, and the second someone comes across it, they do everything in their power to take it down. The only thing I would ever use it for is to bait the enemy in try to kill it for free damage.

    If you play Talon correctly at all, you don't go Hydra, and go for straight burst (Black cleaver rush, BT, LW, BT, GA), with a full combo you can take out any squishy on their team, while getting away with your ultimate and simultaniously doing damage with it to the rest of their team. With their squishy dead, your team comes in for cleanup while you harass with W's, and well placed Q. E's. Not only this, it's almost impossible to beat a Talon in lane.
