Wild Rift Tier List: Best Champions by Role (Patch 7.2)

The Wild Rift tier list ranks the strongest champions in every lane so you can climb ranked without guessing which picks are worth locking in. We collected the S+ picks from the recent Patch 7.2 rankings and sorted them by role: Baron, Jungle, Mid, Dragon lane and Support.

Tier lists change with every balance patch, and sites disagree on exact placements. That is why this guide focuses on the champions that keep appearing at the top of the Patch 7.2 lists, such as Yone, Volibear, Ahri, Thresh and Sona. Use it as a shortlist, then pick the champion you play best.

How We Build the Wild Rift Tier List

A champion lands in S+ when it wins games across many skill levels, not only in the hands of a main. We look at three things.

• Win rate and pick rate: champions that win often and get picked often are strong, not just popular.
• Safety as a blind pick: some champions are hard to counter, which is valuable when you pick first. Volibear and Sona are often called safe blind picks.
• Impact on the map: roaming, objective control and teamfight power all matter in Wild Rift’s shorter matches.

The Wild Rift tier list below shows the S+ champions for each lane. Where recent guides disagreed, we included champions that appeared in more than one list.

Best Wild Rift Champions by Lane

Baron lane

Malphite is described as one of the biggest winners of the latest patch, while Yone and Volibear are both ranked S+ across recent lists. If you want a safe blind pick, Volibear is the most common recommendation.

Jungle

Rammus, Vi, Jarvan IV, Pantheon and Nidalee lead the Patch 7.2c jungle ranking. Nidalee stands above the pool when played well, and Warwick, Hecarim and Vi also show up as highly valued picks.

Mid lane

Twisted Fate, Galio, Ahri, Swain, Kassadin and Orianna are all S+ in the same list. Ahri also appears as a main S+ pick in other rankings, alongside Ryze.

Dragon lane and support

Smolder and Ezreal are the S+ Dragon lane picks, while Thresh, Sona, Pyke and Senna lead support. Sona is called the safest blind pick in that role.
