LoL 13.22 Patch Tier List - Best Champions, New Meta Guide

Win Rate: 51.55% Pick Rate: 13.41% Ban Rate: 21.44%

Since the hotfix, K'Sante has stayed around the 50% win rate, but that does not mean that he is completely balanced as once you have a better understanding of hit kit, he can be quite deadly.

 

Q - Ntofo Strikes

• Required Bonus Health for Minimum Cast Time: 1200 ⇒ 1600

With the recent nerf to his passive, Tahm Kench is still a monster in the top lane, however you now have a bigger chance to survive his full combo.

 

Passive - An Acquired Taste

• Bonus Magic Damage: 6-48 (based on level) (+2% AP per 100 bonus health) (+5% of his bonus health) ⇒ 6-48 (based on level) (+2% AP per 100 bonus health) (+4% of his bonus health)

Patch 13.22 made some adjustments to his Body Slam and Explosive Cask abilities which mean the end of 'Impregnator Gragas' and the Book Build. Stacking ability haste is no longer viable to maintain a 100% uptime on his stun.

 

E - Body Slam

• Cooldown Refund on Hit: 3 ⇒ 40% of remaining cooldown
• We did the math for you: 3 ⇒ 5.6/5.4/5.2/5/4.8, scaling with ability haste

 

R - Explosive Cask

• Travel Time: 0.55 seconds ⇒ 0.5 seconds

Very strong in lower elo, but once he is counter picked he does not have much impact until he gets Hullbreaker. Riot Games decided to revert his nerf in the previous patch so now he has more damage on his E.

 

E - Blunt Force Trauma

• Passive Bonus Attack Damage: 2/2.25/2.5/2.75/3% ⇒ 2/2.35/2.7/3.05/3.4%

The buffs to his passive and E now make his jungle clear quicker making him much more viable into high-pressure AD junglers.

 

Passive - Blaze

• Monster modifier: 220% ⇒ 230%

 

E - Conflagration

• Damage: 65/90/115/140/165 (+50% AP) ⇒ 60/90/120/150/180 (+60% AP)

Another set of nerfs to her Lethality build as her burst has also been affected, but she is still very broken when played correctly.

Q - Head Rush

• Physical Damage: 60/100/140/180/220 (+80% bonus AD) ⇒ 60/95/130/165/200 (+80% bonus AD)
• Armor Reduction: 10/14/18/22/26% ⇒ 10/12.5/15/17.5/20%

R - Certain Death

• Physical Damage: 150/325/500 (+110% bonus AD) (+110% AP) ⇒ 150/300/450 (+75% bonus AD) (+110% bonus AP)

Win Rate: 52.26% Pick Rate: 15.61% Ban Rate: 18.10%

If his invade is successful, then the enemy jungler will simply fall behind very fast as Graves' jungle clear is not only very good, but his damage is insane if he is able to get ahead quite early into the game. Fortunately, Riot Games lowered the amount of armor he gets from his E.

 

E - Quickdraw

• Bonus Armor per stack: 4/7/10/13/16 ⇒ 2/5/8/11/14

The nerfs for his bonus armor in the previous patch are being rolled back as his clear is now better, but overall he lacks the solo carry potential that other champions have.

 

W - Defensive Ball Curl

• Bonus Armor: 30 (+35/45/55/65/75% total armor) ⇒ 40 (+35/45/55/65/75% total armor)

With his nerfs he might be less of a threat, but that does not mean that his carry potential in the late game will dwindle. If he is able to survive and scale efficiently, Kassadin will nuke down the enemy carries in an instant.

 

E - Force Pulse

• Magic Damage: 60/90/120/150/180 (+85% AP) ⇒ 60/90/120/150/180 (+80% AP)

 

R - Riftwalk

• Zero-Stack Magic Damage: 70/90/110 (+60% AP) (+2% maximum mana) ⇒ 70/90/110 (+50% AP) (+2% maximum mana)

His armor nerf will make him a lot squishier and vulnerable to AD assassins or poke ADCs, but his wave clearing is still great so keep an eye out for any bombs coming your way.

Base Stats

• Base Armor: 22 ⇒ 18
• Basic Attack Frame: 20.8% ⇒ 20%

Her farming capabilities on bot lane are incredible as her peel and scaling can be monstrous if left unchecked. Her ultimate also can swing the tide of a teamfight as she will remain strong with Riot wanting to shift the focus for the champ into her going support instead.

 

Passive - Stage Presence

• Damage Per Note: : 4/8/14/25 (based on level) (+7% AP) ⇒ 5/10/18/30 (based on level) (+5% AP)

 

Q - High Note

• Cooldown : 9/8/7/6/5 ⇒ 10/8.75/7.5/6.25/5

 

W - Surround Sound

• Shield: 50/75/100/125/150 (+25% AP) ⇒ 50/75/100/125/150 (+20% AP)

Her Q and R nerfs will try to make her less of a monster, but her scaling and early game still make her a very strong champion.

 

Q - Formless Blade

• Bonus Attack Speed: 10-60% (based on level) ⇒ 10-50% (based on level)

 

R - Apotheosis

• Damage Over Time: 60/120/180 (+112% bonus AD) ⇒ 60/120/180 (+80% bonus AD)
• Maximum Total Damage: 185/345/505 (+232% Bonus AD) ⇒ 185/345/505 (+200% bonus AD)

Win Rate: 54.02% Pick Rate: 15.23% Ban Rate: 13.18

Senna has started dominating the bot lane as her high pick rate has led to this champion snowballing games in solo queue. Riot has targeted her Q ability to make her rely on auto attacking more. 

 

Q - Piercing Darkness

• Damage: 30/65/100/135/170 (+50% bonus AD) ⇒ 30/60/90/120/150 (+50% bonus AD)
• Healing: 40/55/70/85/100 (+30% bonus AD) (+40% AP) (+1.6 per 1 Lethality) ⇒ 40/50/60/70/80 (+30% bonus AD) (+40% AP) (+1.6 per 1 Lethality)

A very fun champion to play as Riot is reverting back to her proactive state with Janna being able to bring much more pressure in the bot lane instead of only being a shield provider.

Base Stats

• Attack Range: 500 ⇒ 550
• Base Mana: 350 ⇒ 360
• Mana Growth: 64 ⇒ 50
• Health Growth: 84 ⇒ 90
• Armor Growth: 5 ⇒ 4.5
• Base Attack Damage: 52 ⇒ 47

• Cooldown: 12 ⇒ 14
