Top Lane Tier List

This Top Lane tier list ranks every champion currently played in the role, using real ranked statistics from patch 16.13.1 — win rate, pick rate and the number of games behind each figure. At the top of the meta right now: Garen, Malphite, Gangplank, Shen, Sett. Garen leads the role with a 51.8% win rate across 127,132 recorded games. Top lane is an island: matchup knowledge and side-lane pressure decide games here, so a champion’s tier reflects how reliably it wins its lane and carries side waves.

Tiers are calculated from the available win rate, pick rate and sample size data: win rate carries the most weight (55%), pick rate reflects meta presence (30%) and sample size keeps small-sample outliers honest (15%). Champions with fewer than 100 recorded games are listed separately as Low Data rather than ranked. This is a statistical reading of the meta, not an official rating: a B-tier champion in expert hands still beats an unpracticed S+ pick. Every row links to the champion’s live build (items, runes, skill order) and counter page, both from the same data set — so the tier, the build and the matchups always describe the same patch.
