League of Legends Tier List Patch S25.12 Best League of Legends Champions to Climb with in Solo Queue

Welcome to the Mobalytics Predictive Tier List for League of Legends for Patch S25.12!

Our panel of experts has you covered for every role and rank.

For everybody else, we have prepared much more:

Jump to High-ELO LoL Tier List

If you have any questions about our choices or process, ask us on Discord!

Now that you know the best champions for LoL, get the best champions for Teamfight Tactics with our TFT tier list.

Methodology TLDR:

• Our first tier list aimed at lower ELO, specifically Bronze up to high Plat/low Diamond. Our second tier list is for high ELO, aimed at Diamond 2 and above.
• Our experts curate these picks and are an indicator of the champion’s inherent strength when played at the highest level. For many of the user base, this information isn’t super relevant for their games but provides invaluable insight into the game itself.

Let’s say you’re debating between learning and climbing with Jax (A-tier | Simple) or Rengar (A-tier | Severe) – you’re going to want to go with Jax. Why? This is because Jax has a lower skill floor and would require less games to play at an A-Tier level in Solo Queue. If you tried to pick up Rengar, you wouldn’t get the full value of A-tier until after about 15 matches of practice whereas with Jax, you would get that full 15 every time you play him.

Top – Malphite

• Malphite has always been a solid pick at lower ranks where it doesn’t matter how the game goes, because you’ll always be useful no matter what, with your ultimate!
• He’s risen back up to the S tier this Patch with a ton more favourable matchups come into play, and in these matchups, he not only nullifies certain champions, but also can be much harder to punish!

• Twisted Fate is BACK this patch with his buffs and now he’s up in the S tier at every single rank!

Top – Jax

• Jax has been popular in high elo for as long as this game has existed, with his ability to duel, side lane, and scale into a splitpushing menace. His buffs this patch have finally see him shine through again, making that little bit of difference that was enough to push him back up into the S tier!

Jungle – Lee Sin

• Lee Sin is one of those junglers that can genuinely carry any game, if the player behind him truly knows how to use him optimally.
• His creative kit allows for endless ways to outplay your enemies, and with his place in the meta being so strong right now, it’s the best time to main him!

Mid – Zoe

• Zoe has always been a super scary pick at higher ranks, and the top one trick pony Zoe players are some of the most terrifying to come up against.
• Her kit allows her to be insanely skill expressive and as the meta has become more burst heavy recently, this is the time for her to shine.

Bottom – Zeri

• Zeri’s buffs have seen her bounce back into the meta again, and now she’s one of the strongest AD Carries you can go for!

Support – Bard

• Bard is just one of the most creative support picks in the game and his playmaking capabilities are crazy high if you know how to use them!
• Bard’s kit is designed to roam around the map, impact lanes, sway fights into his favor, and just generally carry from the support role, even if you don’t spend too much time in the bot lane!

Disclaimer #1: If a champion isn’t on our LoL Tier List, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t climb with them. You’ll just have to put in more effort to get similar results as our Optimal, Great, and Good choices for climbing.
Disclaimer #2: This list is meant to evaluate the champions that we believe are best for climbing Solo Queue. Although there can certainly be some overlap, we are NOT looking to name the champions that are the best in pro-play or organized, competitive 5-on-5. This is why champs that require a ton of team coordination such as Ryze, may not be included or ranked highly.

As always, we welcome all discussion and feedback. If you have any questions about picks that we didn’t expand on or would like to let us know how you feel about the new patch and our predictions in general, join us in our Discord! If you’re wondering how we make our tier list, check out our video explanation.
