High Priority – Champions that are heavily contested in pro play due to strength, kit versatility or blind ability.
Low Priority – Champions that offer flex capability or come in as niche counters to champions in high priority. For example: Poppy / Aurora are often flexed for draft advantage and can do well into into certain matchups eg. Poppy into Jax / Ambessa as a neutralizer and Aurora as a Rumble / Gwen counter.
S tier – Currently best champions in solo queue. These can either shine through each part of the game (early through late) or spike insanely well on 1st completed core item. Rarely do champions in this tier have any unplayable matchups (Irelia being a bit of an outlier in this case)
A tier – top tier champions that can fulfill different roles either as blind picks or strong counter picks.
B tier – likewise to A tier – these champions are solid, but generate their highest value when used as a counter pick (Yorick being the outlier as he is a strong blind pick, yet on the weaker side in solo queue due multiple nerfs in the past few months).
C + D tier – these champions are not necessarily bad, but quite a bit more niche compared to the rest of the roster. These champions can often be used as silver bullets (hard counter to X champion) but will often struggle to lane when blind picked, though a lot of them can be flexed with ad, mid and jg to create draft advantage.
until next time o7.
