LoL Fighter Tier List - Patch 26.17
This League of Legends champions tier list places 60 champions for Patch 26.17, 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 11 strongest champions right now — features Briar (54.2%), Kayn (53.6%), Kled (53.3%), Garen (52.5%), and Shyvana (52.1%). Briar posts the single highest win rate at 54.2%. For players hunting an edge, Rumble is the most underrated pick this patch — A-tier results at only a 0.6% pick rate — while Darius looks overrated, popular at 4.9% but landing in D-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.
