Tier 1 - These champions are at the top of this list for a lot of reasons. The biggest reason being you can actually carry a team with them. In League of Legends its very hard to be a “true” carry as this game if very team oriented. If you’ve ever played a 4v5 you’ll know what I am talking about as it’s literally impossible to win. So I find these champions in Tier 1 lane VERY well in terms of being able to kill creeps well, harassing the enemy champion, and survivability. For the junglers in tier 1 it’s because they control the jungle well, and do it safely. Also gank well and if get fed can actually carry games themselves. All these champions have great early games for the most part and just continuously get stronger as the game goes on. These are the pub stomp kings of the game in my eyes currently.

Tier 2 - These champions like tier 1 champions are great laners, and are great to have on your team in Solo Queue. They just don’t carry as hard as other champions in tier 1 I find. Their early game laning power can be almost equal to the strength of tier 1 champions but I find the tier 2 champions to be slightly weaker than these tier 1 champions in terms of how hard you can carry a solo queue game with them. They are still the creme of the crop in Solo Queue and shouldn’t be underestimated.

Tier 3 - These champions I find to be great 3rd, 4th, or 5th picks on a team. They are 100% viable but these champions generally aren’t as strong in lane as tier 1 and tier 2 champions and often take the Duo lane as they aren’t as strong as solo’s. A few of them in this tier can stand toe to toe to a lot of tier 1 and 2 champions in a Solo lane but I find they just aren’t sought after as “great” Solo Queue solo laners. These champs are all 100% viable in solo queue. I just find them to be slightly weaker than tier 2 champions in Solo Queue.

Tier 4 - Now tier 4 is a tricky tier I find. These champs are all 100% viable for Solo Queue. If someone says they play a great X champion in tier 4 than you can let them solo or play that champion. These champions are simply tier 4 because they require a lot more farm I find than other champions to reach that “carry status” in Solo Queue. These champions are usually played by people who love these champions for their design and play style so usually people who play these champions I find aren’t bad players at all so letting them play these champions sometime is a good choice. These champions problem isn’t poor laning or really anything other than they require a lot more effort to be good at and a lot more skill to do well on is all. They’re all fun champions and I suggest you give them a whirl and try them out!

The Two New Champs Coming Out


From the November 2011 issue of PC Gamer comes pictures of...

Riven: "The Shattered Exile"
http://i.imgur.com/H6fsB.jpg

 "It's never too late for redemption. This former Noxian soldier has forsaken her malevolent compatriots on a quest for self-discovery, wielding a shattered sword to remind her of the fractured world she left behind. Her high-mobility playstyle is reminiscent of arcade fighters, with the ability to combo skills in quick succession for maximum damage. When she gets her ultimate, people will die: her sword reforms to unlock its full power, sending massive energy waves crackling through the air with each slice."

 Plus her pretty hot sword:

AND:

Magus: "The Magus Ascendant"
http://i.imgur.com/W4eLE.jpg

"This caster champ, a being of pure energy, perfectly captures the feeling of uncontrollable power. He charges up energy with each spellcast, temporarily increasing the damage and cost of subsequent spells. Playing him will be a tricky balancing act between knowing when to open the floodgates and pour out your damage, and when you're better off taking the slow-and-steady route"

 The main image of Magus as a white ghost with armor and chains is his "super-charged" form, while the bottom shield-like image is his "low-energy" form.

Jungle Tier List - Talon Era update!!


Tier 1 - Udyr, Lee Sin, Trundle, Nocturne, Warwick, Fiddlesticks,Cho Gath
Tier 2- Xin Zhao,Gangplank,Amumu, Nunu,Jarvan,Maokai, Master Yi
Tier 3 - Olaf, Tryndamere, Yorick, Shaco, Shen, Gragas, Skarner, Alistar, Malphite
Tier 4 - Akali, Rammus, Irelia, Dr Mundo, Sion, Renekton, Mordekaiser,
Tier 5 - Karthus, Pantheon,Karma, Nasus, Taric, Wukong, Evelynn, Orianna, Jax, Talon

Tier 1 – The best at what they do. Some are the purist of
control junglers or the fiercest of gankers and some are versatile enough to do
both. Whatever the case these are the best in terms of jungling – they far and
beyond exceed several or all aspects of jungling and have an indisputable
strength about them.

Tier 2 – These junglers are the strongest after the gods. They usually excel
at most of the aspects of jungling and are far and beyond in one or two. They
have fewer weaknesses than most other junglers and may have a niche ability
unique to them. When you want to excel at jungling – you come to these first.

Tier 3- These junglers are very similar to Tier 2 heroes. They are so
similar that they’re basically interchangeable and are very capable of
competing with tier 2 junglers. The only reason they are in a separate bracket
is due to them being not as well rounded or someone above them is their
superior mirror. Also for organization purposes.

Tier 4- These junglers are weaker than the other junglers either due to
naturally just not being suitable for the jungle or having to alter their
optimal builds in order to jungle successfully. At the same time there are
others above who are simply miles better and they bring nothing really unique
to jungling. They’re usually prone to being dominated by stronger junglers.

Tier 5- A special tier graded differently than the others. The junglers here
CAN jungle but they usually have to impact their standard builds in interesting
ways in order to successfully do so. Either the impact is minor, but
noticeable, or major and could affect them later into the game. Placement is
also a bit wishy washy.

Alright let’s explain a few things

Nocturne – he went above Warwick
because at the moment he just does a lot more than Warwick does. Probably should have raised him
up before and I may have to drop Warwick
a bit more.

Yorick – Still very niche but more effective than I
initially gave him credit for. It’s a pretty all or nothing jungler.

Nunu – pretty much he was strong because his slow as
overpowered and now without it (and his stronger consume) he’s pretty much
incapable of doing a lot of stuff he used to be able to do. He’s looking less
and less spectacular. Only reason he didn’t drop more was because Jarvan’s been
getting weaker and thus I don’t know how far others will surpass them both.

Skarner – I initially thought he was total crap but seeing
more builds with him gave him more points into the build score (as it’s no
longer an outlandish build for him) and he does have some good, but not unique,
traits for the jungle. He’s nothing special but not terribly bad. He just
doesn’t stand out. He didn’t pass Gragas since they’re pretty much the same but
Gragas has a slight edge due to steroids and build malleability.

New Champion – Talon

Lol no…

I may add Soraka but I’m betting they’re going to butcher
her.
