LoL Assassin Tier List - Patch 26.20
Patch 26.20
This League of Legends champions tier list places 46 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 5 strongest champions right now — features Ekko (52.0%), Master Yi (51.9%), Fizz (51.9%), Yasuo (51.1%), and Yone (50.9%). Ekko leads the S-tier with a 52.0% win rate across 6,516 games, the strongest record once sample size is weighed. 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.
