Top 30 Best League of Legends Champions Ranked

This ranking evaluates every champion across four weighted criteria: solo queue win rate and pick rate data from Platinum and above (Patch 14.10), pro play presence across major regions, versatility across multiple roles and team compositions, and skill ceiling — how much impact a player can extract from a champion with perfect execution. Champions that dominate across all four metrics earn the top spots. Those that excel in one area but fall short in others rank lower.

#1

Ahri

Mid Lane

Ahri has been a consistent S-tier mid lane pick for multiple seasons due to her balanced kit that combines safe laning with high pick potential. Her Charm is one of the most reliable setup tools in the game, and her ultimate gives her three dashes that allow aggressive plays with a built-in escape. She fits almost any team composition, performs well in both solo queue and pro play, and rewards players who master her charm prediction and ultimate timing. Current win rates sit above 52% with a 15% pick rate, making her the most balanced high-impact mid laner available.

#2

Lee Sin

Jungle

Lee Sin remains the quintessential playmaking jungler after more than a decade in the game. His mobility through Safeguard and Resolute Smite gives him unmatched early game pressure, and a well-executed Insec kick can win a teamfight before it starts. His skill ceiling is among the highest in the entire roster — ward hopping, flash kicks, and dragon steals separate good Lee Sin players from great ones. While his win rate hovers around 49% in average hands, players with 200+ games push past 55%. He sees consistent pro play priority and rewards mechanical investment more than almost any other jungler.

Role: Jungle Difficulty: Hard Win Rate: A-Tier
#3

Jinx

ADC

Jinx has been the defining hypercarry ADC since her release, and the current meta favors her strengths. Her passive, Get Excited, turns a single takedown into a snowball that can end games. Fishbones rockets give her the longest effective range of any ADC outside of ultimate abilities, and her Pow Pow minigun melts tanks at close range. She needs protection and peel in teamfights, but a Jinx who reaches late game with three items will out-damage almost every other ADC. Her win rate sits above 52% in Platinum+, and she maintains priority in both solo queue and competitive play.

Role: ADC Difficulty: Medium Win Rate: S-Tier
#4

Thresh

Support

Thresh is the most skill-expressive support in League of Legends. His hook is a threat that controls vision and space even when it misses, his lantern rescues allies from any situation, and his Flay interrupts dashes mid-animation. He excels at setting up picks, peeling for his ADC, and creating pressure in the mid game. Thresh has been a pro play staple for years because his kit never falls out of meta — he does not rely on numbers that can be nerfed. His skill ceiling is the highest among supports, and dedicated players maintain win rates above 52% across all ranks.

Role: Support Difficulty: Hard Win Rate: A-Tier
#5

Camille

Top Lane

Camille is the premier top lane diver with a kit that excels at isolating and eliminating priority targets. Her Hookshot wall jump gives her unmatched engage range, and her ultimate, The Hextech Ultimatum, traps a single target in an arena where they cannot escape. She wins most melee matchups through her passive adaptive shield and Q2 true damage that scales into the late game. Camille is a staple in pro play for her ability to flank and delete ADCs, and she maintains a 51% win rate in solo queue with a community that actively innovates new build paths and playstyles.

Role: Top Difficulty: Hard Win Rate: A-Tier
#6

Viego

Jungle

Viego, the Ruined King, brings a unique possession mechanic that lets him take over enemy champions after a takedown. This reset-based playstyle rewards skirmish-heavy games where he can chain possessions from one fight into the next. His clear speed is above average and his ganks are strong once he lands his Spectral Maw stun. Viego sees high priority in both solo queue and pro play because his power scales with the enemy team's own strength — taking over a fed enemy carry turns the fight instantly. Current win rates sit around 50.5% with play rates above 10% in jungle.

Role: Jungle Difficulty: Medium Win Rate: A-Tier
#7

Kai'Sa

ADC

Kai'Sa has been a top-tier ADC pick ever since her release because of her hybrid damage profile and self-peel ultimate. She evolves her abilities through item stats, giving her a natural power curve that feels rewarding to pilot. Her ultimate, Killer Instinct, dashes her to the backline with a shield, letting her assassinate priority targets in a way no other ADC can. Kai'Sa fits into AP, AD, and on-hit build paths, making her adaptable to almost any team composition. She averages a 51% win rate and remains one of the most played ADCs in both solo queue and competitive.

Role: ADC Difficulty: Medium Win Rate: A-Tier
#8

Akali

Mid / Top

Akali is one of the most mobile assassins in the game, with five dashes across her kit when played optimally. Her Twilight Shroud provides a safety net that makes her difficult to gank and lets her outplay melee champions in side lanes. She can flex between mid and top lane, giving her pick flexibility in draft. Akali is a pro play favorite for her ability to dive backlines and escape without taking damage, but her high skill floor means average win rates hover around 48% — one-trick players push this above 55%. Her shroud management and energy tracking separate good from great.

Role: Mid/Top Difficulty: Hard Win Rate: B-Tier
#9

Fiora

Top Lane

Fiora is the definitive split-push duelist in League of Legends. Her passive marks enemy champions with vitals that deal percent health true damage when hit, making her equally dangerous against tanks and squishies. Her Riposte parry can negate any crowd control ability in the game, turning matchups like Mordekaiser and Jax into skill checks. Fiora scales harder than almost any other top laner, and a farmed Fiora in the side lane requires at least two enemies to answer. She has a 51% win rate in solo queue and sees regular pro play in split-push compositions.

Role: Top Difficulty: Hard Win Rate: A-Tier
#10

Ezreal

ADC

Ezreal is the safest ADC in the game thanks to his Arcane Shift blink on a short cooldown. He pokes from long range with Mystic Shot, builds muramana and triforce for a strong two-item spike, and can position aggressively without the same risk as immobile ADCs. His skillshot-reliant kit gives him one of the highest skill ceilings in the bot lane — landing 70% versus 50% accuracy can swing games. Ezreal is a consistent pro pick because he functions without heavy peel and fits into poke, kite, and standard comps. His win rate sits at 49.5% due to his popularity across all skill levels.

Role: ADC Difficulty: Medium Win Rate: B-Tier
#11

Sylas

Mid Lane

Sylas steals enemy ultimates and uses them better than the original champions in many cases. His lane sustain through Kingslayer gives him strong trading patterns against melee and short-range mages. He scales into a skirmish monster with enough ability haste to cast his stolen ultimate multiple times in a single fight. Sylas performs best when the enemy team has high-impact ultimates like Malphite, Ashe, or Amumu. His win rate sits around 50% overall but spikes above 53% in games where he steals a fight-turning ultimate. Pro teams draft him specifically to neutralize enemy ultimates.

Role: Mid Difficulty: Hard Win Rate: A-Tier
#12

Katarina

Mid Lane

Katarina is the reset queen of League of Legends. Her passive reduces her ability cooldowns on champion takedowns, letting her chain through an entire team if she times her daggers correctly. She has no resource bar and can spam abilities in lane to pressure melee opponents. Her roam potential is among the highest of any mid laner thanks to her Shunpo mobility. Katarina has one of the highest ban rates in low to mid elo because her snowball potential feels unfair when ahead. Dedicated players maintain 52% win rates, while first-time Katarinas often hover below 45%.

Role: Mid Difficulty: Hard Win Rate: A-Tier
#13

Jax

Top Lane

Jax is a late-game scaling monster whose Grandmaster's Might third-hit passive deals bonus magic damage and can be stacked on minions before engaging. His Counter Strike dodges all basic attacks and reduces AoE damage from abilities, making him a natural counter to auto-attack-reliant champions like Tryndamere, Yasuo, and Irelia. Jax splits push effectively with his attack speed steroid and tower demolition speed. He peaks at three to four items with Trinity Force and Sterak's Gage. His win rate climbs from 49% early to 54% in games that pass the 35-minute mark.

Role: Top Difficulty: Easy Win Rate: A-Tier
#14

Darius

Top Lane

Darius is the king of top lane bullying. His Hemorrhage passive stacks bleed on enemies, and at five stacks he enters an state of Noxian Might that gives him enormous bonus AD and makes his auto attacks apply full stacks instantly. His Apprehend pulls all enemies in a cone, setting up devastating combo rotations in lane and teamfights. Darius dominates melee matchups through raw stat checking and sustain from his Q healing. He falls off in higher elos where ranged tops and kiting punish his immobility, but below Diamond he maintains a 52% win rate with a 10% pick rate.

Role: Top Difficulty: Easy Win Rate: S-Tier
#15

Yasuo

Mid / Top

Yasuo is the most polarizing champion in League of Legends — he has a dedicated player base and one of the highest ban rates in the game. His wind wall is a unique ability that negates all projectiles, single-handedly countering champions like Lux, Jinx, and Ezreal. His Sweeping Blade dash through minions gives him unmatched mobility in lane, and his Last Breath knockup ultimate combo can win teamfights on its own. Yasuo has a 49% overall win rate, but dedicated mains push this above 54%. His synergy with knockup comps makes him a frequent pro play flex pick.

Role: Mid/Top Difficulty: Hard Win Rate: B-Tier
#16

Riven

Top Lane

Riven is the ultimate mechanics check champion. Her four-dash kit with animation canceling gives her the highest skill ceiling in the top lane — fast Q combos, double casts, and wall hops separate competent players from true masters. She has strong laning presence with her shield and crowd control, scales well with raw AD and ability haste, and can oneshot squishy targets late game. Riven maintains around a 49% win rate overall, but the gap between average and elite Riven players is larger than almost any other champion. She sees occasional pro play as a counterpick.

Role: Top Difficulty: Hard Win Rate: B-Tier
#17

Zed

Mid Lane

Zed is the classic energy-based assassin whose shadow clone mechanic creates outplay potential limited only by the player's creativity. His ultimate, Death Mark, deals a percentage of all damage dealt during its duration, rewarding players who weave auto attacks and abilities before detonation. Zed excels at roaming and picking off isolated targets, and his wave clear is strong enough to shove and look for plays. He is banned frequently in lower elos where players do not know how to itemize against him. His win rate sits at 49% overall with dedicated players maintaining 52% or higher.

Role: Mid Difficulty: Hard Win Rate: B-Tier
#18

Graves

Jungle

Graves has been a consistently strong jungler since his rework turned him from an ADC into a ranged skirmisher. His auto attacks fire four pellets that deal more damage at close range, making him one of the best duelists in the jungle. His smoke screen is one of the most underrated abilities in the game — it reduces enemy vision radius and slows, creating pick opportunities and denying vision in critical fights. Graves clears camps quickly with healthy sustain through his knockback passive resetting auto attacks. He maintains a 50.5% win rate and appears regularly in pro play jungles.

Role: Jungle Difficulty: Medium Win Rate: A-Tier
#19

Kayn

Jungle

Kayn offers two evolution paths that adapt to each game: Rhaast the darkin healer for tank-fighting teams and Shadow Assassin for squishy backline access. This dual-path mechanic gives Kayn a versatile pick that works into almost any composition. His clear speed is among the fastest in the jungle, and his wall-walking passive gives him gank angles no other jungler can match. Rhaast provides sustain and percent health damage, while Shadow Assassin excels at burst and escape. Kayn has a 51% win rate across both forms, with Rhaast seeing slightly higher win rates in the current patch.

Role: Jungle Difficulty: Medium Win Rate: A-Tier
#20

LeBlanc

Mid Lane

LeBlanc is the burst mage with the highest single-target damage in the early to mid game. Her Distortion dash and mimic ultimate give her more mobility than almost any other mage, letting her dart in, delete a carry, and return to safety. Her passive clone adds mind game potential that can bait enemy cooldowns and summoner spells. LeBlanc falls off in the late game when enemies build magic resist and group tightly, so she must snowball early. She is a pro play staple for her roaming power and pick potential. Her win rate stays around 49% due to her high skill floor.

Role: Mid Difficulty: Hard Win Rate: B-Tier
#21

Vayne

ADC

Vayne is the tank-busting ADC who deals percent health true damage with her Silver Bolts passive. She can build attack speed and on-hit items while still shredding armor-stacking tanks, making her a strong counterpick into heavy frontline compositions. Her Tumble gives her a short dash that can dodge skillshots and reposition in teamfights, and her Condemn stun against walls creates pick opportunities. Vayne has a weak laning phase that makes her vulnerable to aggressive bot lanes. She peaks at three items with a 52% win rate in games that reach the 30-minute mark.

Role: ADC Difficulty: Hard Win Rate: A-Tier
#22

Irelia

Top / Mid

Irelia is a high-mobility fighter whose Bladesurge resets on marked targets create fluid combat sequences that reward precise timing. Her Ionian Fervor passive grants attack speed that stacks to four, and at full stacks she shreds through opponents with bonus magic damage on hit. She can flex between top and mid lane, often countering mages in the mid lane with her sustained damage and mobility. Irelia has a 48.5% win rate overall, but her mains maintain above 52% through precise Q reset management and E stun setup. She sees pro play when the meta favors dive compositions.

Role: Top/Mid Difficulty: Hard Win Rate: B-Tier
#23

Aatrox

Top Lane

Aatrox is a sustain-based juggernaut who thrives in extended trades. His Umbral Dash and Infernal Chains give him good engage and crowd control for a champion of his class. His ultimate, World Ender, gives him a massive size increase, bonus attack damage, and a revive mechanic that lets him play aggressively in teamfights. Aatrox is a frequent pro play pick because his combination of damage, sustain, and crowd control makes him effective in both 1v1 and 5v5 scenarios. He maintains a 50% win rate in solo queue with higher performance in organized play.

Role: Top Difficulty: Medium Win Rate: A-Tier
#24

Hecarim

Jungle

Hecarim is a movement-speed-scaling jungler who turns his mobility into raw attack damage through his passive, Warpath. His Devastating Charge knockback ganks from unexpected angles and can push enemies toward teammates for easy kills. His ultimate, Onslaught of Shadows, fears all enemies in a large area and serves as both engage and disengage. Hecarim excels in the mid game when he can flank and terrorize immobile carries. His win rate sits at 50.5% with a play rate that spikes whenever movement speed items or runes are strong in the current patch.

Role: Jungle Difficulty: Easy Win Rate: A-Tier
#25

Senna

Support / ADC

Senna is a marksman support who collects souls from minions and champion hits to gain infinite scaling. She can build support items while still dealing ADC-level damage late game, making her a unique flex pick between support and bot lane. Her global ultimate heals allies and damages enemies across the map, and her root ability sets up ganks and picks. Senna provides vision control through souls dropped by enemies and offers both sustain and poke in lane. Her win rate hovers around 50% and she sees consistent play in both roles at all skill levels.

Role: Support/ADC Difficulty: Medium Win Rate: A-Tier
#26

Viktor

Mid Lane

Viktor is a control mage who evolves his abilities through his hex core item, gaining power spikes at each upgrade. His Death Ray delivers wave clear and poke from a safe distance, and his Gravity Field zones enemies in teamfights. Viktor scales into one of the strongest late-game teamfight mages. His ultimate, Chaos Storm, follows enemies and deals persistent damage in fights. He has a 51.5% win rate in the current patch and sees frequent pro play due to his safe laning, strong wave management, and teamfight presence once he finishes his core items.

Role: Mid Difficulty: Medium Win Rate: A-Tier
#27

Jhin

ADC

Jhin is a four-shot marksman whose fixed attack speed makes every shot count. His fourth shot executes low-health enemies and scales with missing health, giving him strong lane pressure and objective secure potential. Curtain Call, his ultimate, fires four long-range shots that slow and execute from across the screen. Jhin pairs well with engage supports who can lock targets down for his W root. He has a unique playstyle compared to traditional ADCs, rewarding positioning and timing over raw attack speed. His win rate is consistently around 51% with a strong pro presence.

Role: ADC Difficulty: Medium Win Rate: A-Tier
#28

Lulu

Support

Lulu is the premier hypercarry enabler support. Her Whimsy polymorph is one of the strongest single-target crowd control abilities in the game, and her Help Pix shield and attack speed buff turns late-game ADCs into monsters. Her ultimate, Wild Growth, knocks up nearby enemies and gives a massive health boost to the target. Lulu excels at protecting carries from divers and assassins, making her a top-tier pick with Jinx, KogMaw, or Twitch. She maintains a 52% win rate and is a consistent pro play pick when protect-the-carry compositions are in meta.

Role: Support Difficulty: Easy Win Rate: S-Tier
#29

Sett

Top / Support

Sett is a brawler who turns enemy front line into a weapon. His Haymaker right punch deals true damage based on grit stored from damage taken, rewarding him for tanking hits before counterattacking. His ultimate, The Show Stopper, grabs an enemy champion and slams them into the ground, dealing area damage based on the target's health. Sett can flex between top lane and support, where his engage and crowd control provide pick potential. His win rate sits around 50.5% with a simple but effective kit that works at all skill levels.

Role: Top/Support Difficulty: Easy Win Rate: A-Tier
