LoL Tank Tier List - Patch 26.18
This League of Legends champions tier list places 46 champions for Patch 26.18, 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 Taric (54.2%), Rammus (53.4%), Wukong (53.3%), Sejuani (52.9%), and Singed (52.9%). Taric posts the single highest win rate at 54.2%. For players hunting an edge, Rek'Sai is the most underrated pick this patch — A-tier results at only a 0.5% pick rate — while Nautilus looks overrated, popular at 5.1% 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.
