Here's what goes up on Nerfplz.LoL every week, how often the tier list and ban list actually get rebuilt, and a hint at what we're building behind the scenes.

THE HYPERAGGRESSIVE POSTING SCHEDULE 

Updated August 2026

This post has been kicking around since 2015, when the schedule was a promise rather than a habit. Eleven years later most of it stuck, so here's the current version: what goes up on which day, how often the tier list and ban list actually get rebuilt, and one thing we're not quite ready to talk about yet.

The Weekly Schedule

Five days, five series. Most of these land first thing in the morning, Eastern time, though the Friday report sometimes waits for later numbers.

Monday: Formerly OP

Every Monday we pick a champion who used to terrify people and no longer does, then work out exactly what took it away. Sometimes it's one rework, sometimes it's fifteen patches of small nerfs nobody noticed at the time. Recent entries covered Season 6 LeBlanc and Release Graves. The full run lives under Formerly OP.

Tuesday: Top Team Comps

Five champions that genuinely work together, with the win condition spelled out and the matchups that ruin it listed honestly. We're past #130 now and still finding new ones. Browse them all on the Team Comps hub, or jump straight to the latest comps.

Wednesday: Weird Pick Wednesday

An off-meta pick that has no business working, taken seriously enough to build runes and an item path for. Support Kog'Maw and Tank Yone Top are both in the queue. Everything's indexed on the Weird Picks hub, with the raw feed under WPW.

Thursday: Top Ten Thursday

A ranked list of ten, argued rather than asserted. The good ones start from a real question, like which champions Riot has the hardest time balancing or which ones deal damage no matter what you build. Read them under Top 10.

Friday: FOTM Report

One champion who's genuinely strong right now, why the patch did it, and how to play them before the nerf lands. This is the most time-sensitive thing we publish, so it goes out last in the week with the freshest numbers we have. Catch up under FOTM.

Patch Day: The Tier List Cadence

The solo queue tier list used to get one update per patch, whenever there was enough data to justify it. That's changed. It now gets three passes per patch, because speed and accuracy are different jobs and one document was doing both badly.

Day 0: The Prediction

The moment patch notes drop, we publish a forecast built from the notes alone, before a single game has been played on the new patch. Big nerfs move a champion down hard, small ones barely move them, and a big nerf to a dominant champion pulls everyone else in that role up with it. It's a prediction and we label it as one. See our Patch 26.15 day one forecast, and the full history on the Tier List Change Log.

~48 Hours In: The Early Read

The first pass with real games behind it, pushed straight onto the tier list hub. The page says which placements are still unsettled rather than pretending two days of data is settled. Same URL, always, so a bookmark never goes stale.

Weekend: The Updated Read

The same patch, the same page, rebuilt on a full week of games. Most placements carry straight over. The interesting ones are the champions whose read changed between the two passes, and those get called out explicitly instead of quietly edited. We also freeze that week's God Tier into a dated Tier List Analysis post so the archive keeps a record.

Everything Else

The ban list gets rebuilt every patch on the same page, broken out by division from Bronze to Diamond+, because the right ban genuinely isn't the same at every rank. It stopped being a dated post in July 2026 and became a page that updates in place. The older dated versions are still archived under Ban List.

The Counter Series runs in batches rather than on a fixed day. Each one covers a single champion: what makes them scary, who beats them, and what to do when you've already picked into them. The full index is on the hub, with everything else under Counters.

Patch notes get a plain-language summary the day they land, and every patch since 2010 is searchable by champion on the history page. If you want every buff and nerf a champion has ever received in one place, that's where it lives.

Outside the weekly rotation there's also Advanced Champion Mechanics, the occasional deep dive on how the game actually works, and the site map if you'd rather just see everything at once.

What We're Working On

Here's the part we can't say much about yet.

For most of this site's life, the numbers behind the tier list came from somewhere else. We'd read them, argue with them, and write up what we thought they meant. That's a reasonable way to run a tier list and it's how nearly everyone does it.

We've spent the last stretch building something that changes that, and it's already quietly running. It's why the ban list can tell you what Silver bans versus what Diamond bans instead of averaging the whole ladder into one number, and it's why we can say a champion is banned in most of your games and still losing more than they win, with the confidence to put that in writing.

There's more coming, and some of it is genuinely exciting. We're not ready to show it yet. When it's ready, you'll hear about it here first.

A Note on What's Retired

The original 2015 version of this post promised tier list updates for Twisted Treeline and mentioned Dominion. Both game modes are gone now, Dominion in 2016 and Twisted Treeline in 2019, so neither list is being updated again. They stay up as history rather than as advice. If that era of the game is what you're here for, the League of Legends Classic FAQ covers what's coming back.
