LoL Meta FAQ - Patch 26.22
What is the current LoL meta?
On Patch 26.22, the strongest champions by win rate are Gwen (59.7%), Xin Zhao (56.9%), Rell (56.2%), Gangplank (55.3%), Warwick (55.3%). The meta shifts with every patch, so these rankings are recalculated daily from ranked match data rather than set by hand.
What are the best champions in Patch 26.22?
The best-performing champions on Patch 26.22 are Gwen (59.7%), Xin Zhao (56.9%), Rell (56.2%), Gangplank (55.3%), Warwick (55.3%). Each has a pick rate of at least 1%, so these are picks that hold up in real games rather than low-sample outliers.
How often is this updated?
Every day. The current patch is backed by 77,310 ranked matches, and win rates, pick rates and tiers are recomputed as new games arrive.
What do the tiers mean?
Tiers run from S down to F and are assigned from win rate and pick rate together, not win rate alone. An S-tier champion is both strong and widely played; a niche champion with a high win rate on very few games will not reach S tier.
