Top Tier List
Riven has been a great meta pick in the top lane at higher ranks all season so far and this isn’t going to change this patch. She has a super high skill ceiling that all of the high elo players can abuse to come out on top against all of the odds. If you can pull off those combos and mechanics on Riven, there’s very few better options to carry with!

Jungle Tier List
Nidalee is still one of the best junglers in high elo, where jungle tempo and aggressive snowballing playstyles are the key to ranking up and seeing that jungle diff come up in all chat throughout any game. She takes a LOT of practice to play at a high level, from perfecting that first clear, to invading and securing early kills to get ahead, but when you get the hang of her, you’ll realize just how dominant she can be!

Mid Tier List
Orianna has finally risen back into the top tiers after a string of buffs sees her prove how strong she can be, especially at higher ranks. Orianna has solid wave control, great utility, amazing scaling and the ability to win teamfights with just one good ultimate. She fits into any team comp, works well in most drafts and can always be more than impactful as long as she doesn’t fall too far behind early game!

Bot Tier List
Vayne is well and truly back after creeping back up those tiers in recent weeks and those high elo ADC mains are really showing just how scary she can be. Waveclear and laning has always been Vayne’s biggest weakness, but with Statikk Shiv this is pretty much fixed instantly when you buy it, meaning you can farm and scale up easier, but also be ready to fight much earlier too! The power spikes and her item versatility make her a great pick to play in the right hands, so give her a go!

Support Tier List
Pyke has always been that super scary support pick in the right hands and in high elo right now he’s even more terrifying than ever. He’s got early aggression and kill threat, he’s got incredible roaming potential and he can snowball the map so hard with so much damage, CC and mobility. Pyke takes a lot of practice to play perfectly, but when you get it right, there’s not many better.

Methodology
Our tier lists are curated by the following experts:
We recommend using the Low ELO list for as long as you can before switching the High ELO list. It usually works until around high Diamond. If a champion isn't on our tier list, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can't climb with them.
