Top Lane LOL Tier List 26.11 - Quick Rundown!

Hey Friends,

Top lane LoL tier lists have been updated according to the changes in the patch 26.11! Today we have a really small patch to cover, so we’ll breeze right through it. You can compare with the previous tier list here.

Experimental Hexplate is receiving a nerf for ranged champions. Notably, this will impact Varus and Vayne toplane the most. Both champions are losing about 0.5-1% win rate with the item if you are buying it as your first core item. Varus also appears to have been hit harder with these nerfs at the moment, though he still has a viable alternative in Statikk Shiv in easier matchup.

Teemo received some nerfs as well resulting in about 1.5-2% win rate loss that he gained after the Statikk Shiv adjustments few patches prior. Honestly, he is so bad that it’s not even worth picking into champions like Vayne, though in solo queue, Teemo can still work alright especially in the lower elo brackets.

Top lane LoL Tier List Overview

There is not much happening in the competitive department this patch. The meta is quite versatile at the moment and a lot of “wacky” counter picks are viable, so it is impossible to include all of them in the tier list. There is an uptick of champions like Olaf, Yone and TF as niche counter pick choices to certain matchups (K’Sante, Sion, Gnar..) or team comps that are generally heavy on CC, so Olaf and split pushing seems to do quite well at the moment, though it is far from a go to strategy.

Cassiopeia is a champion i’ve mentioned previously in tier list rundowns already, thoughwhile she is primarily a midlaner. She is definitely quite strong at the moment and more than viable to be flexed around in draft for extra advantage.

Removed Rek’Sai again as Ambessa is still not doing as amazing as she used to. Added Yone and Olaf. R emoved Skarner as well though he can still show up as a neutralizer into ranged champions that lack tank damage (eg Jayce).
