"THE POPULAR KIDS"
Preface Chatter
Hi everyone, and welcome to the fifth rendition of the FOTM Tier List! While it's not nearly as popular as the solo queue list, I know a few of you have been requesting it, so here we gooooo!
Highlights:
- Lucian takes over the top spot as the most popular champion on the rift, if only because of Tristana's MASSIVE ban rate;

I think Renekton does belong in Tier 3. Even though he is my most played champion, he has fallen out of favor
ReplyDeletethis is popularity list
ReplyDeletelol irelia is picked often cause she ever have an impact in the game no matter how she's playing
ReplyDeletegod tier support is a bit sad,tons of people playing tresh cause they think he's OP and then fail grabs and fed enemy's bot lane
ReplyDeleteNot seeing jungle Fizz on this list, but its getting to the point (at least in lower leagues) where every game he isnt banned and doesnt go mid, someone takes him jungle. That's my experience anyway.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide between Zed and Yasuo so which one should I buy?
ReplyDeleteIn lower elo it seems like Cass is practically a must pick for whatever reason.
ReplyDeleteTwo completely different champs, and if you're looking to climb the elo ladder I'd stay away from Zed and Yauso.
ReplyDeletefunny, i permaban lucian, i hate him so much, riot was like "lets make a 0 mana cost escape with reset and make him do tons of damage" thats so bm ;-;
ReplyDeleteWhat does fotm stand for?
ReplyDeleteFlavor Of The Month
ReplyDeleteI know. "has fallen out of favor" = not popular
ReplyDeleteThis list is bullshit. Week ago Wukong was marked as GOD tier on top and with no changes or patches he became tier 2? WTF
ReplyDeleteReading comprehension is OP
ReplyDeleteyep this is true and the same with Blitz.
ReplyDeleteGenerally when people don't know how to play support and are "forced" into it (last pick), I noticed they tend to pick Blitz/Thresh/Leona a lot and screw up.
I wish they would just pick safer "easier"/passive supports like Soraka, Janna, Taric etc.
Face of the Mountain, I mean... Flavor of the month.
ReplyDeletewhy? i mean if mastered they are the biggest monsters of champions ive ever seen (especially Yasuo)
ReplyDeleteFizz jg is stupid and no one wants it in solo queue
ReplyDeleteNerfs hit him pretty hard and well he just gets beaten by other top laners
ReplyDeleteriot cant seem to nerf or buff right thats what shits me, when they said they were nerfing lucian they made him stronger. they wanted to nerf twitch a little when he became OP after his VU now he is shit and now they are taking soooooooooooooooo long to nerf the super OP champs like Tristana and to be honest idc if tristana becomes shit after it
ReplyDeleteyou lost? lol
ReplyDeletePeople low in the ranks like to treat ranked games like normals...
ReplyDeleteUnless you are a god at Yasuo then you'll need someone on your team to have a knock up. Fizz has his troll pole for much raging -_-
ReplyDeleteDoesn't mean it doesn't happen unfortunately...
ReplyDeleteBlitz is really an over all good pick, but i would NEVER pick him into hard engagers like amumu, rammus, etc.
ReplyDeleteI dunno about anyone else but I've been playing Galio in normals this past week and averaging a KDA of like 16/3 or something every game. Even against Yasuo. But Cassiopeia is the one that actually shut me down. Don't know how or why. (I'm Silver V so take it as you will).
ReplyDeleteYeah if you suck at support I'd actually suggest Blitz, he doesn't have to land a grab to be effective, he literally just has to be in lane. Janna would be a good pick too but Soraka and Taric? Soraka is too squishy and Taric is no good right now. Leona is also kinda hard to mess up with and doesn't really get hard countered by anyone.
ReplyDeleteActually I think a lot of people are confused about this list. What's the difference between this and like the most popular champions on lolking?
ReplyDeleteThis list also takes into consideration ban rate as well as champions that people think are "strong" but happen to just not play as much as they think they should either based on boring skillsets (amumu) or fear of skillcap (ahri/xerath).
ReplyDeleteYasup seems a waste of money, he is perma baned
ReplyDeleteI hardly disagree. If you dont land your grab you are just a dead weight. Also i tend to see what i like to call "The gap closer blitz", This little dude is the one that hooks an Ulted kennen, amumu ou any bruiser closer to you adc.
ReplyDeleteI disagree, Leona is a strong independant woman, who doesn't need one adc to stomp her lane.
ReplyDeletei think riot isnt nerfing trist and lucian bcs of worlds, once it ends riot is going to destroy those fuckers
ReplyDeleteSsj, in which tier do your think talon will fall? With his silence remove, he has lost almost of all his little early game power, but he still has a lot of quick burst, though
ReplyDeleteHigh tier 2 imo
ReplyDeletelove the confusion this list causes
ReplyDeleteLee in mid is a beast. Just sayin'
ReplyDeleteDa fuck is vlad?
ReplyDeletevlad is da fuck
ReplyDeleteNo, I said those unfamiliar with supports should NOT pick blitz, thresh, leona.
ReplyDeletePlease... I've seen this too often. Don't know support? - ok pick blitz cos huehuehue hooking is funny. Miss all hooks in lane. Then in teamfights land the hook on Amumu or Jarvan.
If not familiar with supports, just pick a more passive one like sona, janna, soraka. At least can help sustain the adc in lane and ward.
Is Evelynn still viable?
ReplyDeletedid you see oracles come back?
ReplyDeleteWorlds is being played on 4.14, nerfing Tristana any time since 4.15 would not affect worlds. Maybe they don't want a huge patch right before season 5, but who knows. Worlds isn't the problem though.
ReplyDeletewtf
ReplyDeleteWHY ME?
ReplyDeleteLow Elo. Where no one buys wards or pink wards.
ReplyDeleteTEEMO? WTF teemo in tier 4
ReplyDeleteFunny you said that on a 4.16 tier list.
ReplyDeleteI'm aware of that, I was saying that worlds wasn't the reason that Tristana has yet to be nerfed substantially, because it's played on an older patch.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! FINALLY NO MORE BOMBS!!!
ReplyDeletebut if you are God at thresh then, good luck to the enemy team
ReplyDeleteJust a suggestion, but maybe you should name these after the month instead of the patch, Riot seems to be working faster on patches now, putting you a couple patches behind by name, but if you marked it as say October FotM Tier list, it would make it seem more as if you were on top of things, cause I noticed being too patches behind by title, people have stopped commenting, the newest comments being almost a week old, and I would hash that out to being they believe its an outdated tier list, even though it is a monthly thing, and if they checked the date its only a little over 2 weeks old.
ReplyDeleteI like that suggestion :P
ReplyDelete:D The admin of my favorite tier list likes my idea! Whoo!
