ARAM Tier List - Patch 26.20
Patch 26.20
This League of Legends champions tier list places 173 champions for Patch 26.20, from S-tier down to F-tier. Placement combines win rate, pick rate and how much match data sits behind each result, so it is not a straight win-rate sort — an entry with a high win rate over few games ranks below a steadier one. The S-tier — the 17 strongest champions right now — features Swain (63.8%), Poppy (58.9%), Kalista (58.9%), Tristana (56.4%), and Sejuani (55.6%). Swain posts the single highest win rate at 63.8%. For players hunting an edge, Kled is the most underrated pick this patch — S-tier results at only a 0.1% pick rate — while Ezreal looks overrated, popular at 1.3% but landing in F-tier. Rankings update daily from real ranked matches, so every placement reflects current performance rather than a one-off result. Use the tiers below to pick the best champions for your games.
