League of Legends since 2011
About NerfPlz.LOL
The site mascot. If you've ever typed "nerf plz" into all chat, you already understand the editorial policy.
Hello, and welcome
You've reached NerfPlz.LOL, a League of Legends blog run by a LoL aficionado from America named SSJSuntastic. I've been hammering away on my mechanical keyboard since 2011 providing League content, and I hope you all enjoy what's available.
The mission hasn't really changed in fifteen years: answer the question you actually have when you're staring at champ select with 20 seconds on the clock. Who's strong right now? Who should I ban at my rank? What did this patch actually do? Is this weird pick I keep losing to real, or did I just get outplayed?
Everything here is free, there's no login, and nothing is gated. Leave a comment. I love comments.
The site by the numbers
What happens here every week
Formerly OP Mondays
A champion who used to terrify everybody and no longer does, plus the rework or the fifteen quiet nerfs that took it away.
Team Comp Tuesdays
A full five-champion composition built around one idea, with the win condition spelled out and the matchups it folds to.
Weird Pick Wednesdays
An off-meta pick that's quietly working. Not "funny build," but a real one somebody is genuinely climbing with.
Top Ten Thursdays
Ten of something, ranked and argued for. Reworks, cheese strategies, champions who never recovered from a single patch.
FOTM Fridays
The champion the patch just handed a gift to, plus the build to abuse it with before it gets nerfed back.
On top of that, the Counter Series runs in batches rather than on a fixed day, and the tier list gets three separate passes every patch. The full posting schedule breaks down exactly what lands when, and hints at what's coming next.
How the lists actually get made
Anybody can post a tier list. What makes one worth reading is where the ordering came from, so here's the honest version.
Every ranking on this site starts with real ranked match data, not with a vibe. Win rates, pick rates and ban rates get pulled fresh each patch, and the champions get sorted before a single word gets written. The write-up explains the numbers, it doesn't overrule them.
The data gets split by division, because that split is real. A champion who eats Bronze alive is frequently a non-issue at Diamond+, and the champion wrecking high elo is often one lower divisions can safely ignore. That's why the ban list is broken out rank by rank instead of handing everybody the same five names.
And the calls stay on the record. Every tier list going back to Patch 3.6 is still archived here, and the changelog shows exactly what moved each patch and why. If a call aged badly, it's still sitting there. That's the point.
The 2026 rebuild
The site spent its first decade doing what every Blogger site did: a brand new post for every patch. That's fine for a reader who visits weekly and terrible for everybody else, because a search for "LoL tier list" would drop you onto a perfectly good list from four years ago with no sign that it was stale.
So in 2026 the whole thing got restructured. The recurring content moved onto permanent, bookmarkable hub pages that get updated in place every patch instead of being re-posted: the tier list, the ban list, the patch notes history, the team comps and the weird picks all live at one stable URL each now. Bookmark it once and it's correct forever.
The navigation got rebuilt around those hubs, the old posts were archived rather than deleted, and every archived tier list now says plainly which patch it belongs to and points at the current one. Fifteen years of history is still here, it's just no longer pretending to be today's advice.
FAQ
What do we call you?
You can call me Suntastic.
What is SSJ?
SSJ stands for Super Saiyan, from the manga Dragon Ball Z. It seemed like a great idea in 2011 and I've been stuck with it ever since.
So is the site name a complaint?
It's the two words every League player has typed at least once, usually right after dying to something they'd have first-picked given the chance. Seemed like the most honest name available.
Who's your favorite champion?
I like a lot of different champions, so it's hard to say. Big fan of Janna and Leona.
Why is there a Rumble at the top of this page?
Because he's a small angry creature who built a flamethrower out of scrap metal, and the enemy team's response is the name of this website.
How often does the site update?
Something new goes up five days a week, and the tier list and ban list hubs get refreshed on top of that every single patch. The posting schedule has the full breakdown.
Can I request a champion or a topic?
Absolutely, and requests genuinely do get written. Leave a comment or send an email, and if enough people ask for the same thing it jumps the queue.
What's the oldest thing here?
Posts from July 2011, still up and still saying exactly what they said then. Some of them have aged like fine wine and some have aged like a Season 1 item build.
Do you actually read the comments?
I read every comment everywhere, on posts from this month and on posts from a decade ago. Yes, including that one.
Why does the tier list keep changing?
Because the game keeps changing. Riot has shipped hundreds of patches since 2011, and a champion can go from unpickable to permabanned on the strength of one number. A tier list that never moves isn't stable, it's abandoned.
