Patch 10.23 Tier List Update Summary
PRESEASON IS UPON US! Along with preseason comes the annual overhaul of the solo queue tier list placements as Riot confounds and astounds us with their skill (or lack of) in balancing new items and champions. This time around we’re seeing Sunfire Aegis absolutely steamroll anyone and everyone in the game, and if they hotfix this…well then I’ll have to redo the list. 🙁 In the meantime, enjoy these overpowered behemoths to your heart’s content!
Check out the full tier list below! As always, don’t forget to like the site on Facebook if you haven’t already!
This tier lists below start at the strongest champions on the tier list and is ordered from left to right in power level. The tier lists are also separated into multiple segments for ease of understanding, but champions from a higher segment of the tier list may still lose to a counter pick from a lower-tier segment of the tier list.

Many users have requested a summarized tier list that just includes suggested champions to play for new players. The tier list below includes the best beginner champions. The tier list is also organized from most beginner-friendly to least beginning friendly (Top, Bot, Support, Mid, Jungle). Since jungle isn’t particularly beginner-friendly I’ve only included two champions on the list.

Tier 1: Shen, Poppy, Trundle

The tier list below lists every viable champion in the game along with a few unorthodox picks that can still perform fairly well. This tier list is meant to organize every viable champion in the game into an order with the average experienced player in mind. Generally speaking, this is somewhere between silver and platinum. This tier list can also be used for higher divisions, but the higher you go, the more specialized at specific champions you become.

Instructions and Caveats
Champions in BOLD I will talk about shortly
Champions UNDERLINEDmay be over/undervalued, but aren’t/haven’t played enough for me to make a better judgment.
Within each tier, the champions are strongest from left to right, but within a tier, each champion’s strength is relatively close. This is especially true for Tiers 2 and 3 where these champions are ALL highly playable and player dependent on how strong they are in-game.
Win Rates are important in analyzing each champion’s strength but are not the end-all criteria for any champion’s position.
Professional Picks may not necessarily translate into good picks for the solo queue ladder, the two have slightly different meta-games and skill levels.
The creator of this list is diamond so there may be some personal bias towards higher tier play on certain champions.
League of Legends Tier List Descriptions
When making this tier list we initially considered using tier list descriptions similar to others with S-tier, A-tier etc. However, In the initial build of the tier list way back when we started, it was more popular to use a God Tier designation and then go down from there on the tier list. As a result, we’ve stuck by this concept through the years. However, since God Tier is supposed to be relatively exclusive on this tier list, we try and limit it to only three or four picks at most. This means that there may be champions that are close to God tier on this tier list, but don’t quite make it and are instead at the top of Tier 1.
God Tier: These champions are almost impossible to keep down. If your team doesn’t make it a priority to shut down these champions and shut them down hard, even if they lose their lane, lose in CS, and it’s their first time playing the champion, they can be a massive nuisance for your team. On the other hand, if they’re actually good at the champion…that’s when it’s time to throw in the towel. Tier 1: These champions generally do very well regardless, and have some sort of advantage over most other champions. When they do well, their team does well. Even when they don’t do well, their team still has a good chance of a comeback victory by utilizing one or more aspects of their late-game utility. Tier 2: This is the Tier of balanced champions where Riot shoots to place their designs. These champions generally do well in their own right and are very strong picks with a good chance of winning. However, they’re not overpowered by any means and do have their weaknesses. Tier 3: These champions can still do very well, but tend to need a little more snowballing to get rolling. Even if they get an early lead, it’s still very possible to turn the tides on them with just a mistake or two. They may also have some weaknesses that can be capitalized on. Tier 4: These champions are either underpowered or offer less reward than other champions for the same amount of effort. These champions basically start winning from the get-go or get made fun of for the rest of the game. They need gold to do their job correctly, and if they don’t get enough of it, they become sandbags for the enemy team to punch. Chances of a comeback with one of these champions feeding on your team is almost none.
Thoughts on Win Rates
In the past, some people complained that this tier list focused too much on win rates and not enough on play rates. However, this tier list takes into account both win rates and play rates before performing analysis on the champion. Just because there’s a high correlation on win rates and position on the tier list doesn’t indicate that this tier list is solely based on win rates, if anything the champion power level drives the win rates and supports the claim to validity.
League of Legends is an extremely intricate game and this tier list strives to be as accurate as possible to give you the strongest champion picks. We ordered them on the tier list based on what is most likely to give you the highest chance of winning the game. However, the tier list will over time, have a bias towards win rates since this does indicate that the ordering is accurate and not prone to fluctuations in play rate.
With enough playtime, a high win rate on a champion indicates *something* generally goes right, and a low win rate indicates that whatever is happening in games with this champion isn’t in their favor.
A low win rate may mean a champion is being played incorrectly and is stronger than his win rate indicates, but a top 25 win rate (with 120 champions) almost always indicates that a champion is at least a good candidate for Tier 1 or high Tier 2 if the sample size is large enough.
This means that champions with high win rates do not mean that they’re necessarily GOOD right now, especially if they have a low play rate or tend to get into favorable match-ups. If we feel this is the case, these champions will place differently on this tier list than you’d think.
Similarly, champions with low win rates that are still within the acceptable deviations may end up slightly higher than you’d expect from a champion with mediocre win rates.
If there are champions on this tier list with low overall play rates but good win rates after relatively few games of practice, it may mean that players that pick those champions up just to try them are bringing down the average. If this is the case, we will place them higher on the list.
In Tier 3 of this tier list, we’ve placed certain champions that are good as a second pick, but can get spanked hard if they end up first picking by a variety of meta champions. If you’re good at a large variety of champions, picking a champion that counters your lane is a good place to start. If you can get a slight advantage and don’t have a clear experience advantage, picking a champion that both places high on this tier list and also counters your enemy lane may give you enough to win a game.
Check out a few of our more popular champion counter guides:
Ever since Annie’s Molten Shield [E] change to provide 60% movement speed, she’s become significantly stronger. When you combine this with the burst damage and bonus movespeed from Luden’s Echo she becomes an incredibly consistent engage champion that deals massive damage…just as mother advertised.
Ivern [Tier 1 Jungle]
The latest jungle changes affect Ivern…actually no they don’t. He wasn’t a great jungler before the changes, but decent. Now that the jungle’s nerfed a bunch of other champions, he’s at essentially the same spot. Not a great jungler, but decent.
Karthus [Tier 3 Jungle]
Nerfs to Karthus’ Q in Patch 10.22 coupled with the jungle strength increase in Patch 10.23 make Karthus nearly unplayable. His clear is now very dangerous and the multitude of tanks makes it difficult for him to avoid getting dove and passive proc’d before getting in position.
Kassadin [Tier 3 Mid]
Removal of Rod of Ages coupled with a lack of clear synergy with mythic items makes Kassadin incredibly weak this patch. He’s doing decently with Luden’s but otherwise, there are certainly better choices at this point.
Kha’Zix [God Tier Jungle]
Kha’Zix in his current state is incredibly obnoxious. When you combine him with Duskblade and an evolved R, he continuously blinks in and out of visibility. This makes him incredibly difficult to track and even more difficult to survive.
.
Malphite [God Tier Top]
Sunfire Aegis in its current form is unsustainable and Malphite is the biggest offender. For a champion that was already unkillable to gain massive damage boosts simply makes him impossible to deal with.
Nunu [God Tier Jungle]
Tank item buffs, jungle strength increases, and removal of scuttle crab sustain? Hi Nunu. Nunu benefits off literally every change in patch 10.23 and it’s no wonder it’s made him absurdly powerful. Considering his already good jungle strength before pre-season, now he’s just rolling over the enemy competition.
Skarner [Tier 1 Jungle]
Turbo Chemtank provides excellent synergy to Skarner’s kit and tanks are naturally very good in the current meta. This makes Skarner not only viable again, but strong in nearly any situtation. Better start stocking up on QSS!
Trundle[Tier 1 Jungle]
Trundle is extremely underplayed and underappreciated. For a champion that utilizes tank items very well and simultaneously provides tank killing power, he’ll definitely get more play time once players decide they actually want to win games instead of preseason trolling. Gotta fight trolling with trolling.
Viktor [God Tier Mid]
Viktor’s synergy with Luden’s Tempest is incredible. When you combine this with the slightly overtuned buffs for the val of his upgradable Hex Core you get a champion that’s blazingly fast and simultaneously incredibly strong. Even after the nerfs he still continues to run over enemies with ease.
Vladimir [Tier 2 Mid]
As a top laner it’s a bit difficult to judge Vladimir’s current strength since he needs to deal with all the overpowered tank champions. However, as a mid laner he has some hope. On the release of prepatch his E was bugged to start the cooldown after he released, but it’s since been fixed. We’ll see how much he’s improved as a result of that change, but I’m leaving him in Tier 2 and reserving judgment for now despite his horrendous win rate.
