What Changed Since Patch 26.21

We compared every champion with our Patch 26.21 list from October 26. These picks moved two tiers or more in a role. This patch we use OP.GG as the second source because U.GG could not be read in full, so some moves come from that switch and not only from balance changes. Smaller one-tier shifts are normal in the first days of a patch. Tap a champion in the tool above to see their old tier.

Risers

Lee Sin (Jungle): B to S+
Jhin (ADC): B to S+
Vi (Jungle): C to S

Graves (Jungle): B to S
Hecarim (Jungle): B to S

How We Rank Champions

We combine two large stats-based tier lists for Patch 26.22, METAsrc and OP.GG, both built from Emerald+ Ranked Solo/Duo games. Each champion gets a tier in each role from each source, and we average the two. When only one source rates a champion in a role, we place them one tier lower, and leave out weak off-role picks entirely. That keeps one site's sample from swinging a ranking.

S+: the strongest picks of the patch. Expect bans.
S: excellent, safe picks for climbing.
A: solid picks that win in the right hands or team.
B: playable, but need a favourable matchup.
C and D: weak this patch or rarely played in that role.
