League of Legends Tier List
The best League of Legends champions for every role in Ranked Solo/Duo on patch 26.22 – Top, Jungle, Mid, Bot and Support picks ranked S to D from Emerald+ statistics.
The best picks on patch 26.22 are Malphite and Kayle in top lane, Wukong and Cho'Gath in the jungle, Ekko and Vex in mid, Xayah and Jinx in bot lane and Leona and Braum as support. Below, the top champions for each role are ranked S to D – use the buttons to show one role. A champion can appear in more than one role.
How we ranked them: Champions were placed per role from OP.GG's Emerald+ patch 26.22 win, pick and ban rates and MOBA Trainer's 26.22 Emerald+ tiers (U.GG + OP.GG data), with Lexu.gg as tiebreaker; S needs a high rating in both main sources – a summary of current statistics, not personal opinion.

What the tiers mean
S tierThe strongest picks this patch – high win rates and rated top by every source we used.
A tierStrong, dependable picks you can play in almost any match.
B tierFine in the right team or map, but not meta-defining.
C and D tierBelow-average results right now. Still playable if you know them well.
Good to know
- Win rates quoted are OP.GG Emerald+ figures for that role. Off-meta picks with a tiny pick rate (Swain, Karthus and Vel'Koz bot, Taric) have small samples and can move a lot.
- Mel got a mid-scope rework in 26.22 and is left out until her data settles.
- Most-picked does not mean strongest: Kai'Sa, Lee Sin and Nautilus are hugely popular but win slightly under half their games right now.
