LoL Tier List | Best champions in League Season 8
LoL TIER LIST | BEST CHAMPION TIERS FOR RANKED QUEUES: SOLOQ, DUOQ, AND FLEX
In this guide, I want to present to you top champions tiers, and especially I want to highlight the God Tier champions in LoL. Before starting, I want to explain my classification of the Tier lists:
- God Tier – Totally overpowered champions that are incredibly strong and with a very high chance will be banned by allies of enemies. Also, the chance that they will be nerfed in the nearest patch is too damn high.
- Tier 1 – Just strong champions, often seen as a pick on a professional stage. The core of the LoL Meta-gaming.
- Tier 2 – Still strong champions, that were slightly nerfed not so long ago.
- Tier 3 – Champions that can turn the game, but they are out-of-meta and many players hate such picks.
GOD TIER LIST | OVERPOWERED CHAMPIONS IN LoL
God tier LoL champions – are such champions that are clearly overpowered, and you can see them in almost every match. Mostly these champions are picked during our Elo boosting because they are capable to win the whole match almost by themselves. These champions are quickly nerfed by the developers and in each LoL patch, this God Tier champion list is changing. Also, most of these champions have a really high ban and pick rate.
God Tier | AD Carry
|
Miss Fortune |
Kog’Maw |
Twitch |
| Miss Fortune may be the fastest AD Carry champion in LoL. She is extremely mobile due to her Strut ability. Her high AoE damage will be useful in teamfights and on lane cleaning. Miss Fortune’s wombo combos are well known all across the Runeterra, and there are not many champions that can stand in the same row with her. She surely secured her place in the God Tier among the other ADCs. | Kog’Maw can shred tanks in a blink of an eye, and this feature makes him a greatest and strongest ADC champion in the game. He is some kind of hypercarry if you will be able to play well in the early game. In the late game, you will be able to single-handedly decimate entire teams, if you have enough peel and protection, ofc. | Twitch is some kind of a hybrid of an assassin and AD Carry, That means that his snowball potential is extremely good, and if you start well, then almost nothing could stop you. In the teamfights he is the most impactful among other ADCs. Moreover, it is fun to play as Twitch, so you will have a ton of fun while you boosting your rank up. And that’s how Twitch break his way through right to the ADC God Tier. |
God Tier | Mid Lane
|
Malzahar |
Xerath |
Veigar |
| Malzahar is a wonderful Mid lane champion that could make great amounts of damage with his Q and R abilities. During laning phase he doesn’t meet any problems – Malzahar’s dueling power is incredible and waves clearing abilities greatly help him to farm a lot of gold. The main feature of this champion – is his CC Immune passive that gives such many opportunities to turn the fight over in the most exciting moments. | Xerath is a pure harass in a flesh. His pokes at the laning stage are the strongest and the overall damage stays high until the end of the game. The early stage of a match is the sweetest time for this mid lane champion, and if you start to accumulate power from this time, then the end game will be probably 100% yours. Another interesting feature that makes from Xerath a god tier mid lane champion – his almost global ultimate. | Veigar is a king of a burst damage. His laning phase is pretty safe, but if he meets a danger, then the danger will be quickly and easily bursted down. His CC gives him an opportunity to securely leave a fight, or to start a fight with the CC on the most valued player of the enemy team. Veigar has pretty great midrange AoE and due to it, his midrange zoning is just right. Just try Veigar, and you’ll understand why he is in a God Tier Mid. |
God Tier | Top Lane
|
Yorick |
Singed |
Teemo |
| Yorick is in the God Tier among the Top Laners because he is incredibly strong at the laning stage, can easily 1v1 every monster and objective including the Baron. CS will be always high, thanks to the Q, and the wave clearing speed is pretty awesome too. | Singed is a very interesting Top Lane champion with a great potential. He got long ranged pokes, always find a place for himself in a team fight, and just a cool guy that will teach you macro-play instead of micro-play. Singed is such champion that could easily turn games and his presence on a map is amazing. | Why everyone loves Teemo? He is cute, he is fast, he is annoying as hell. Teemo is an excellent choice for a God Tier Top Lane champion, he has an amazing damage, can easily annihilate dragon or/and Nashor solo, and he is your team’s secret weapon against enemy AD Carry. But he is very squishy, so you need some time to master that champion. |
God Tier | Jungle
|
Rammus |
Shyvana |
Ezreal |
| Rammus is incredibly strong jungler (just look at his win rate – 53.9%) due to his ability to put a pressure on enemies from the first minutes of the game. And the biggest his advantage among all other junglers, that he will stay good at all stages of the game. Rammus does not require mechanical skills, so he is a pretty easy-to-learn champion. Rammus win his place in the God Tier Jungle list. | Shyvana is incredibly strong in the jungle because she can easily outrank other junglers in levels and gold. With only 2 core items, she being able to deal a great damage. The other great advantage of this champion is her objective completion speed. She could kill dragons, destroy turrets with impressive speed. And in the late game, she counters such strong enemies like Zed, Yasuo, and Master Yi. Shyvana is the top God Tier champion among the junglers. | Maybe Ezreal is not the best in a jungle, but his ganks are incredible. All he needs is a red and blue buff, and then he can run all across the map and bring destruction to the world. His range is outstanding, escape abilities are great, and the item build is quite cheap. Jungler Ezreal has got an extremely great snowballing potential, and all you need to know is how to use it right. |
God Tier | Support
|
Sona |
Nami |
Leona |
| Sona is an awesome support in LoL. She got amazing pokes, can heal a lot of damage if needed, and the most precious – she enters in a perfect synergy with the most popular ADC. In the teamfights she can easily turn the fight with only one AoE stun. What more you need? She is almost perfect. | Nami has the richest arsenal of Crowd Control abilities among all other supports and her harassing potential can be used to dominate on a lane. But the most precious her advantage – Nami can heal allies, and she can do it well, but look at your mana, because this heal is a quite expensive. If you know how to manage your mana, then you’ll quickly understand why Nami is in the God Tier support list. | Leona is a perfect choice for all who prefer tanks. Her ability to absorb impressive amounts of damage, with the lots of CC abilities gives a great opportunity to initiate a teamfight, and bring your team to the victory! If you not too far behind an enemy team, then you can easily catch them up, playing as Leona you do not need a lot of items. |
