LoL Champions 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 24 strongest champions right now — features Shyvana (54.3%), Cho'Gath (53.3%), Milio (53.5%), Briar (52.6%), and Amumu (52.8%). Shyvana leads the S-tier with a 54.3% win rate across 6,633 games, the strongest record once sample size is weighed. For players hunting an edge, Zilean is the most underrated pick this patch — S-tier results at only a 1.1% pick rate — while Lee Sin looks overrated, popular at 5.8% 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.

D Tier - Below Average
(26)D-tier is led by Fiddlesticks, which trails stronger options with a 49.8% win rate on a 1.8% pick rate. They are followed by Tahm Kench (49.3%), Jax (49.3%), Anivia (50.1%), Nautilus (48.9%), Udyr (50.0%), Lissandra (49.3%), and Evelynn (49.9%). The remaining 18 champions in this tier average a 49.2% win rate. These champions underperform against the current meta and take extra effort to win with. Sylas stays widely picked at 7.7% despite its D-tier results, while Skarner sees 0.6%.
F Tier - Weak
(49)F-tier is led by Galio, which currently underperforms with a 48.4% win rate on a 2.8% pick rate. They are followed by Ziggs (48.8%), Ambessa (48.8%), Darius (48.0%), Draven (48.7%), Aurora (49.0%), Ashe (48.0%), and Fiora (48.6%). The remaining 41 champions in this tier average a 46.9% win rate. These champions are the weakest options this patch and are best avoided in ranked. Lee Sin stays widely picked at 5.8% despite its F-tier results, while Rek'Sai sees 0.4%.
Pocket Picks: Strong but Rarely Played
(1)Taric wins 52.6% of its 1,888 games, but its 0.9% pick rate is below the 1.0% a champion needs to rank in S or A tier. Taric's win rate stays above 50% even at the low end of its 95% confidence range, but the margin is thin: treat it as a counter-pick or comfort pick rather than a safe blind pick.
