Which Champions are Strongest When Mastered? - July 2026

Leave a Comment

Some of these champions take real work to pick up. Some are just plain broken. Every one of them is worth the investment as one of the strongest picks in the game.


This isn't a tier list. It's the list of champions that reward the most raw skill and game knowledge once you've actually put in the hours, whether or not the stats currently agree with you. Some of these have an unremarkable win rate. All of them are terrifying in the right hands.

FOTM Report: Seraphine Bot

Leave a Comment

Seraphine tops the bot lane tier list right now, and almost nobody is actually playing her there.


Patch 26.13 pushed Seraphine into God Tier as a bot lane carry, sitting right alongside Jinx and Senna at the top of the current solo queue tier list. She's still played far more often as a support, but the numbers say the bigger story is happening in the other bot lane role.


Check out the details on runes and builds below!

Top 10 Champions Reworked Into a Completely Different Life

Leave a Comment

Some champions got a new ability or two. These ten got an entirely new identity, and in a couple of cases, an entirely new species.


Every patch has champions who feel one update away from a full rework. These ten actually got one, and the results changed more than a few numbers on a tooltip. Playstyle, role, and sometimes species all got thrown out and rebuilt from scratch.

Weird Pick #158: Bot Lane Aurelion Sol

Leave a Comment

A galaxy sized dragon just benched your marksman, and bot lane may never look the same.

Aurelion Sol barely registers as a mid lane pick in Ranked Solo/Duo right now, and he does not show up at all in the bot lane numbers. That has not stopped a small group of ADC mains from dragging him down bot as a long range mage instead of a marksman, and with the right support next to him the pick genuinely holds up.

So how does this work anyway?

Tired of watching your kills go to waste? This team composition turns every takedown into a bigger, scarier version of itself. Pick one off and the rest of the team gets stronger.

Best Champions Ban Tier List For Ranked by Rank - Patch 26.13 July 2026

Leave a Comment

Locke, Stock, and Two Smoking Bans

Locke is getting banned in more than two-thirds of games at Diamond+ and hasn't dropped much lower anywhere else on the ladder, easily the most feared pick of Patch 26.13 regardless of rank. Beyond him, Seraphine and Senna are the two names that show up as elite bans at basically every division, so don't sleep on either just because they don't have Locke's shock value.
