LoL Top Lane Tier List - Patch 26.19
This League of Legends champions tier list places 47 champions for Patch 26.19, 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. A further 7 tracked champions (47 of 54 are tiered) have fewer than 500 recorded matches this patch. They are listed under Insufficient Data below with their observed win rates and no tier. The S-tier — the 8 strongest champions right now — features Shen (53.6%), Renekton (53.3%), Kayle (52.9%), Teemo (52.8%), and Ornn (52.4%). Shen posts the single highest win rate at 53.6%. For players hunting an edge, Olaf is the most underrated pick this patch — A-tier results at only a 1.1% pick rate — while Darius looks overrated, popular at 3.9% 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.
