Alright, so I’ve been grinding a ton of League of Legends lately, specifically in the top lane. I wanted to really see which champions are crushing it right now, you know, the ones that can carry you up the ranked ladder. So I did what any sane person would do: I dove headfirst into a bunch of games to figure out this whole “s tier top laners” thing for myself.
First, I started by just playing a bunch of different champs. I mean, a whole bunch. I dusted off some old favorites, tried out some of the ones I usually see banned, basically just experimented like crazy. I wanted to get a feel for who felt strong, who felt weak, and who felt, well, just kinda “meh.” It was a real mixed bag, honestly. Some games I’d stomp, other games I’d get stomped harder than a grape at a wine festival.

Then, I started to pay more attention to the actual stats. Not just my own, but like, the overall win rates, pick rates, and ban rates. I figured these numbers gotta mean something, right? So I spent some time looking at different websites that collect all this data. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but I started to see some patterns. Certain champs kept popping up with high win rates, and they were also the ones getting banned all the time. That’s when it really clicked – these were the real deal.
- I played a ton of games with these so-called “s tier” champions.
- I focused on learning their matchups. Who they crush, who they struggle against.
- I experimented with different builds, different runes.
- I even watched some pro players to see how they handled these champions in high-level play.
After all that grinding, all that experimenting, and all that, well, let’s just call it “research,” I finally started to get a good grasp on who the best top laners are in the current meta. And let me tell you, it’s not always who you’d expect. Some of the champs that people complain about being weak are actually monsters in the right hands. And some of the popular picks? Well, let’s just say they’re not as foolproof as you might think. I have my full report ready, and I think you guys might be surprised with what I found.
It was a wild ride, but I definitely learned a lot. It’s tough up there in the top lane, but with the right champion and a little bit of know-how, you can definitely climb that ranked ladder.
