League of Legends Patch 26.14: Winners & Losers Across 491,560 Matches

Patch 26.14 brought sweeping tier shifts across League of Legends, with several champions jumping multiple tiers in a single update. The mid lane and bot lane were particularly volatile, producing some of the largest win rate swings seen in recent patches.

Biggest Winners

Corki — 48.9% win rate (+5.7 pts), 0.8% pick rate, F→D tier. Corki climbed from F to D tier with a 5.66-point win rate gain to 48.85%, though the improvement still leaves him below the 50% threshold despite the apparent buff impact.

LeBlanc — 51.8% win rate (+5.1 pts), 1.8% pick rate, F→S tier. LeBlanc posted the second-largest win rate gain among risers at 5.08 points, vaulting her all the way from F to S tier with a 51.84% win rate across a 1.8% play rate sample.

Nilah — 53.1% win rate (+4.1 pts), 0.7% pick rate, D→S tier. Nilah jumped from D to S tier on the strength of a 4.08-point improvement, reaching a 53.08% win rate and establishing herself as one of the strongest bot laners in the current meta.

Karthus — 52.6% win rate (+4.0 pts), 0.9% pick rate, F→S tier. Karthus made a dramatic F-to-S tier leap with a 3.97-point win rate increase to 52.62%, signaling a significant shift in his viability across the 491,560 matches analyzed.

K'Sante — 47.0% win rate (+3.8 pts), 1.0% pick rate. K'Sante gained 3.83 points to sit at 46.98% win rate, a meaningful improvement though still below 50%, suggesting the changes helped but have not yet made him a dominant force.

Cassiopeia — 48.3% win rate (+3.6 pts), 0.9% pick rate. Cassiopeia picked up 3.65 points to reach 48.28%, a positive trend that nonetheless keeps her just under even win rate territory for Patch 26.14.

Biggest Losers

Anivia — 47.1% win rate (-5.7 pts), 1.4% pick rate, S→F tier. Anivia suffered the steepest decline of the patch, losing 5.68 points and crashing from S to F tier with a 47.13% win rate, a sharp reversal from her prior standing.

Aurora — 45.8% win rate (-5.6 pts), 1.3% pick rate, A→F tier. Aurora fell 5.62 points from A to F tier, landing at 45.84% and indicating that whatever supported her previous strength has been significantly curtailed this patch.

Skarner — 44.5% win rate (-5.1 pts), 0.7% pick rate, C→F tier. Skarner dropped 5.06 points from C to F tier, finishing at 44.49% win rate and becoming one of the weakest performing champions in the current patch.

Renata Glasc — 50.6% win rate (-4.8 pts), 0.5% pick rate, S→B tier. Renata Glasc slid from S to B tier after a 4.83-point loss, though her 50.57% win rate means she remains a functional pick despite the notable tier regression.

Senna — 49.3% win rate (-3.7 pts), 5.6% pick rate, S→D tier. Senna's 3.72-point decline to 49.32% is particularly significant given her 5.62% play rate, meaning the drop affects a large share of matches and marks a fall from S to D tier.

Nidalee — 44.2% win rate (-3.6 pts), 0.7% pick rate. Nidalee lost 3.56 points to finish at 44.21% win rate, continuing to struggle in a meta that does not appear to favor her kit.

Also notable

• Top performer: Rammus — 55.3% win rate, 1.5% pick rate
• Top performer: Shyvana — 54.1% win rate, 3.2% pick rate
• Top performer: Singed — 54.0% win rate, 1.6% pick rate

With multiple champions swinging five or more win rate points in a single patch, the Patch 26.14 meta remains unsettled and warrants close attention as play rates adjust.
