Chapters
Welcome to my Patch 26.12 Iron to Diamond jungle tier list. In today's video, we're going to be talking about the top 5 junglers, which junglers you should be playing so you can generate free LP and hit your rank goal really, really quickly. And then we'll talk about every single individual champion, and I'll just give you my general thoughts as to why the champion is in the rank that I currently put them in. Without further ado, let's jump in. Alright guys, the first champion we have here, the most broken champion in the top 5 list, is going to be Briar. Briar as a champion is the strongest stat checker, really easy to pilot, and she deals damage that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Now, sure, you're going to need maybe like 10, 20 games to get comfortable on her. You're not going to be able to just play her. I actually— any champion, I'd say you're not going to just play them and win free games right off the bat. You need some experience. But I promise you, once you get the hang of things, once you start understanding the kit, you will start to dominate your games. Titanic Hydra into defensive boots into Black Cleaver. That's your setup with Press the Attack. If you want the full guide, click the champion. And guys, a lot of Briar players fuck this up. What they do is they decide to play by themselves instead of around a teammate. League of Legends is a team game, and you still need to work around your most fed teammate. Now, you don't need to work around everybody, but work around your most fed teammate and you'll be able to win more games on Briar. Briar is not a champion that can win hard solo, okay? You have to work around fed teammates. Now the next champion we have here is going to be Shyvana. Now there's multiple builds to Shyvana here. There's not just the Kraken Slayer Dusk and Dawn build. There's also the Trinity Force into Spear of Shojin build. There's multiple variations to this champion, but what makes her so strong is her infinite scaling and her stat-checking ability. So again, a lot of the lower elo champions that you'll see that can help you get from Iron to Diamond are champions that are just padded with really, really, really good base stats. Pretty much like if you fuck a fight up, you'll still probably be fine as long as you've been farming well because you have the extra bonus armor and MR from her passive. So farm efficiently and you will get a lot of bonus stats. You'll be able to get a lot more kills, get a lot more resources, and have more pressure in your games. But a big mistake I see Shyvana players make is that they decide to skip their camps to go help their teammates when they need to be playing for themselves. Like, very rarely do skip your camps on Shyvana. And the other really important thing on this champion here is you do not ever want to see yourself fighting without your ultimate. I see a lot of players do this in lower elos. They think they're going to be able to help the team fight, but they don't have their ultimate. You have to make sure the time you use your ultimate is very, very, very good, and you have to make sure that you not fight when you don't have your ultimate. Alright guys, jump into our third champion here. We have the Wukong Monkey King himself. Now Wukong is a champion that's a little more difficult and more enjoyable. And if you want something that's more mechanical, I'd say he's not as straightforward, like bash it into the wall and just, you know, hit things and win the game. He's more mechanical, more fun, and he's in a really good state right now. He gets a bunch of free armor from his passive, which really helps him in this bruisery style meta. He gets a lot of damage from the Triforce, the Sundered Sky, very powerful items. Along with that Conqueror. This champion got buffed recently and his W and E were buffed massively. His W, its clone, gave him more damage and his E gives him a faster clear speed. He's in a really good spot right now, but you need to make sure to understand his combos. So Briar took maybe 10 to 20 games to get familiar with. Shyvana's, you know, maybe, you know, 5 to 10. Wukong, you're looking at maybe 20 to 30 to just be anywhere familiar with this champion. Our, our fourth best champion here is going to be Dr. Mundo. So Dr. Mundo is again one of these stat-checking champions. He has a really straightforward game plan and he's really good at one thing, and that is farming efficiently. His Q does so much damage to camps and his kit in general helps him clear camps so quickly with his E as well. He clears quickly, he's very strong at scaling as well with the Heartsteel, Dead Man's into just full tank. And for some reason, the champion also just does so much damage. You guys have seen the Aloys clips. This champion does an insane amount of damage. The hardest part about Mundo is just understanding how your ultimate works, understanding how your W works. So I would say give it 10 to 20 games and you're going to be really, really, really solid on Mundo. And you need to make sure you're farming as effectively as humanly possible. And then that makes Mundo a really broken champion. Don't skip your camps. Don't fight without your ultimate. All right, for our top 5 champions, here we have our last boy. It's Amumu. I always recommend this champion. I— if you want free LP, this guy should be like ZZZZ tier. Like, honestly speaking, Amumu is probably just the easiest champion in the game, um, and the most straightforward in the game, and gets— can put you the most amount of LP. You can play 3 games of Amumu and have some competence and some level of understanding as to how to climb on Amumu. Amumu is just the easiest, by far the easiest. Like, your Q is a skillshot. So yeah, you have some difficulty there. But if you land your Qs, land your ulti, like, they're CC'd for so long. You have AOE damage. You have a lot of defensive stats from your build. You deal a lot of damage from your ulti, from your E. Overall, this champion is not like the craziest stat-checker, but for the amount of CC he has and the AOE CC as well and how easy it is to land, That's what makes Amumu so broken time and time and time again. Like, like for the literally the last 2 years, I don't think this champion has been lower than A or S tier. And like, he's going to stay that way. So if you want free LP and you want to climb now, pick up Amumu. He's broken as shit. If you want free LP, go for it right now. All right, guys, that was the top 5 best champions that I highly recommend you guys play. Every other champion on this list, they have a place and they have a reason why they're there.. But if you are genuinely looking to just print LP, play one of those 5 champions. I promise you it's going to be a lot easier to climb on those champs than it is on any other champion. But first, let me introduce you to this video's sponsor, Logitech G. There's no feeling worse than missing your skillshots in any League of Legends match, except maybe having a team teammate. Missing your skillshots is usually caused by poor cursor accuracy and placement. Logitech G has the perfect mouse, Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2C, to help you your cursor accuracy and placement no matter what game you play. It's extremely light and easy to use and has zero delay despite the mouse being wireless. The battery life also goes up to 95 hours, which is usually my biggest concern with wireless mouses. Depending on your current setup, this Logitech G mouse can improve your gameplay massively. As a pro player, I've always used Logitech mouses and I've absolutely loved how they feel. I started off by using the Logitech G502 Hero and it's been a great 3 years, but I've switched to the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2C, which I'm absolutely loving. Thank you so much to Logitech G for sponsoring this video and let's jump back into it. The next champion we have here is Rammus. Rammus is a champion that takes maybe 5 games to learn. He's very straightforward. You don't farm camps, you gank, and you make pressure around the map. The reason why he is so broken is because lower elo players miss a lot of skillshots. Lower elo players don't know how to deal with tanks. And you'll see this in the A tier. There's a few other tanks that are just so hard to deal with, and that's why they are up in the A tier. Next on the list here, we have Udyr. Udyr is a much harder champion. Honestly, I should put him as a 3-star difficulty, not a 2-star. He is quite strong with the amount of stat checking and tankiness he has, but you have to be really thoughtful about your Awakening spells. He probably takes 20 to 30+ games to even have a general idea about how to play Udyr. He's, he's strong, but you need a lot more proficiency to make him work. That's why he's not, you know, S++ tier, even though his kit and his strength in general, he's pretty freaking strong. Uh, but you just need a lot of like proficiency on him. Next champion we have here is Volibear. Now Volibear is a champion that I've always thought he's a giga strong stat-checking champion that's really tanky as well, similar to Udyr. The thing about Volibear though is he's a lot more difficult. He's probably 4-star. 3-star is a little too generous. And he takes like 30+ games to really get a good grasp of, especially because there's two separate builds. There's the AD build that you see here, Black Cleaver into Iceborn, and there's also the AP build. Sometimes you're gonna have to switch it up. Sometimes you want to go a little tempo. Into AP. Sometimes you want to go AD. So there's a lot more going on here than what the eye, you know, like, tells you. There's more happening with Volibear. Next up on the list here we have is Xin Zhao. Xin Zhao is one of those champions that's kind of underrated OP. He can be really strong. He's just a little bit hard to 1v9 games because of how slow he is. He doesn't clear camps fast enough. But honestly, you can play him in like 5 games and you'll have a really good grasp of how to carry games, how to 1v9, how to like fight. Um, it doesn't take too much to actually learn, but in all honesty, carrying games on Xin Zhao can be quite difficult. Like, having your own individual 1v9 solo impact is a little bit difficult on a champion like Xin Zhao. Next here we have is Zyra. Zyra is a really strong champion here. She has the Liandry's, the Shadowflame, uh, and the big thing is her clear speed. So her build is pretty nice, like these items are just good, and her clear speed is so fast that I don't think there's a single champion in the game that clears faster than Zyra. So if you're really good and you love farming, you love being really methodical about your gameplay, Zyra could be your champion. The only hard part about Zyra is the amount of patience you need in team fights a lot of players lack. Like, in League, you want to do things, you want to be active, you want to fight. And Zyra is one of those champions where like, you need to be extremely patient. Zyra is not a champion that gets many, many kills in games. Uh, Zyra is a champion that gets a lot of CS. Like, you're going for 10 CS per minute or higher. That's how you get your economy, that's how you get your gold, not a bunch of kills. Versus all the bruisers, you're just gonna get kills randomly around the map. Zyra's not like that at all. Next up here we have Lillia. Lillia is a champion that honestly debatably might be a B tier champion. She takes a little bit too long to get proficient with. Uh, she's in the 40-50 game range, or maybe like 30-50 game range. She just is a little hard as well to pilot in general. The one thing I will say about Lillia is her stat-checking abilities and the mobility with like kiting and everything. Once you get past the initial learning curve of like, "Okay, I know how to pilot Lillia now. I know my damage. I know my ulti. I know how to, you know, flash-Q-R, Zhonya's, big giga combo." Then Lillia becomes like a lot stronger. So she kind of like starts in the B tier, but as you put more games into her, she's like an A tier, A+ tier champion. Really, really, really, really strong. Once you get more games on Lillia. Next up we have Jarvan. Now Jarvan is a really good champion, but he's not easy because if you miss your EQs, you're extremely useless. The way I look at Jarvan in general is Jarvan EQs is like a Malphite ult. So if you EQ as Jarvan and you miss it, it's like missing Malphite ult. Like that's how powerful Jarvan's EQ could be. It's just as powerful as Malphite ult in a way. And the thing is you can knock people up so many times as Jarvan, but people really miss miss their EQs. Not only that, people sometimes fuck their build up. I'm showing the Sundered Sky Black Cleaver build here, but there's also the Profane Hydra Axiom Arc full lethality Jarvan build as well. Knowing when to go either of these builds is extremely helpful because if the enemy is full squishy champions, you want to go for a more lethality, more damage type of Jarvan build. Next up on the list here, we have Graves. Now Graves is a really broken stat checker. He does so much damage. Your autos at like 3, 4 items, if you crit, you're dealing like 900 damage. Like you can literally 2-shot an ADC with your auto attacks alone. Once you get your items, your Dark Harvest just makes things extremely easy. The difficulty with Graves though in general is that you are generally going to be mechanically misplaying. You need to take a lot of games to actually get good with Graves. I would say 30+ games minimum to actually understand how to use your E properly, how to use your R properly. What does the Smokescreen actually do? Once you get past that though, Graves is a great champion. But that's why he's not like S++ tier all the time. It's because it just takes more skill for your average player. But once you're there and let's say you are skilled enough to pilot Graves, by all means, he is really broken. Next on the list here we have Fiddlesticks. So Fiddlesticks is a champion that is very powerful at team fights, but he takes probably the most amount of like champion proficiency out of everyone so far. He takes like 50+ games. Like, you need to know how to do your clear correctly. You need to know how to double camp. You need to know how your fear works. You need to know your ultimate and everything. Like, you need to know a lot about this champion. If you fuck your ulti angles up, you're not gonna get good plays. If you don't get good plays with your ulti angle, you're going to lose more games. And when you lose more games on Fiddlesticks, it's the worst because this champion, like, there's just not a lot of comeback potential unless you really are proficient on Fiddlesticks. So you need a lot of games. I would say if you're trying to play Fiddlesticks, prepare to lose a lot at the start and understand that the learning curve is pretty steep. Next on the list here is Nocturne. So Nocturne's actually been nerfed quite recently. He got hit with a Q damage nerf, which really sucks because Nocturne's been an S+ tier champion, a staple for the longest time. But the last two, like, few patches, he has been nerfed like twice now. You know, this champion is still strong. But honestly, nowadays he's not as strong as he was before. Um, he's lost so much damage that like your, your one-shot potential, your 1v1 potential, all that is just not as good as it was before. Uh, there are two builds on Nocturne. Just remember, this is the Experimental Hexblade Stridebreaker, and there's also the Profane Hydra, um, Axiom Arc, just full one-shot Nocturne build. There's two builds, right? So always think about the lethality version and the bruiser version. All right, next up here, guys, we have the B tier champions. All the champions in the B tier here, they're all decent. They could be piloted and they could be an A, S+ tier champion. You could be really, really, really good on every champion you see here. But the issue with that is— the issue with these champions is that if you are not great at them, and I mean, it's like you don't have 50+ games on them, you don't know how to carry, you don't have 1v9, they are not as strong as what they could be. So Karthus is our first champion here where you need a lot of games and you need to make sure you land your Qs. You need to make sure you know your ult damage. You need a lot of proficiency on him to work. But if you make it work, this champion clears almost as fast as Zyra. Not as fast, but almost as fast. And he does so much damage, it's ridiculous. You can die 10 times on Karthus, but as long as you get 10 kills, you will deal so much damage you can one-shot anyone. Next up we have Kayn here. Kayn— Kayn. The Shadow Reaper himself. This guy is also really strong, but you need to be a one-trick. You need like 550+ games. You need a lot of games on him. Uh, I personally think he's powerful in lower elos, but you need to know your damage. You need to know your limits. You need to know when you can go in, when you shouldn't go in. Next we have Ivern. Ivern is a lot easier of a champion in general. He is a friendly tree-loving guy who doesn't really play jungle. He literally is the jungle. He doesn't hit camps. He uses his passive on camps. Like, this champion is just so weird that even for me, like, to this day, I've played a good amount of Ivern and I still don't feel like I know what I'm doing on the champion. You need a lot of time to maybe like one-trick this champion. Honestly, I should have a one-trick tier in the like— add an extra tier. But Ivern is like a one-trick champion for sure. He doesn't really play the game like any other champion in the game. Next on the list, we have one of my favorite champions And I think this is an underrated champion for sure. We have Trundle. Trundle is lowkey pretty strong if you know how to power farm and know how to split push. Trundle's not a great team fighter. He can be if you play angles and you're like properly, you know, skirmishing. But in general, if you split push and you play side lane angles, you can do so much with Trundle. He's really fun as well. He has like just something fun about his pillar. And his Q and his ulti and his movespeed. There's something really fun about Trundle. So I actually like recommend this champion in general. If you want a more fun champion that like can be useful, can be helpful, but you need like maybe like 20 games. Next champion we have here is Viego. Viego is one of my favorite champions. The current champion I'm playing to try to get rank 1. We have about a 70% win rate in Challenger right now because of Viego. This is not the build I always have been using in my games. This is one of the standard builds, the Kraken into Collector. I will be having a Hail of Blades setup for Viego really soon. We're still doing some tech changes so I can display two separate builds on one champion. But this champion is absolutely so fun to play, so powerful. The problem is mechanically he's not the easiest. I see Challenger players, I see Grandmaster players, I see Masters players pilot this champion so poorly that it's like, okay, well, you've made it to this elo, but you're actually just so bad at the champion that you're probably good at these other things that help you get to Masters in the first place. Like a lot of Viego is understanding, you know, how to use your W, how to use your E, how to use Fog of War, what your damage looks like, how to not go in for kills, what discipline looks like, patience, etc. There's a lot more going on with Viego than a lot of people think. People think like, oh, Viego is just a free, easy champion. Get a reset, win the game. There's a lot more happening to Viego. How do you get the reset? How do you play the angles? How do you play the fights? Next champion we have here is Nunu. This champion is lowkey a ZZZ tier champion. But I think you need to be a lot of proficiency on him. Like I said, almost all these champions, you just need proficiency. You could play Nunu like once or twice, a few times, and you'll probably, maybe you'll probably get a win. You just gank lane, gank lane, gank lane. But like, if you really want to make Nunu work, you need to play him a good amount. And once you play him a good amount, he is fucking strong. You just roll a snowball down whenever you think there's going to be a kill, and you're probably right. You get a kill, you're 1v9, you're super tanky as well in the fights. As long as you know how to play around your hyper carries, you'll be able to generate a lot of ELO, you'll be able to generate a lot of like chaos in games, and you'll tilt the shit out of the enemies. I promise you, this champion is extremely frustrating to play against. Next up here on the list, we have Master Yi. So Master Yi is a champion that lowkey could be an A-tier champion at least. You have the Kraken Slayer, Guinsoo's, just full damage build. There's also a lot of one-tricks and Challenger players who are going Halo of Blades first item, or as your keystone, sorry. I, I haven't really tested that or like experienced it myself, but apparently, and apparently it looks really broken, it looks really strong. At least when I played against it, it looks strong. But anyway, mastery is really gated by champ knowledge and just proficiency. Like, again, these champions can be really good, but you need 50+ games on him. You need to know how to use your Q to dodge spells. You need to know how to play your champion in general to just have the knowledge of, like, your W— timing your W is so important. Using your E correctly. Did you know your W, if you hold it, gives you your double strike? It prepares your double strike for you. Like, there's so many unique things about this champion that, like, Okay, once a proficient Master Yi player plays it, it's like, wow, the champion's broken. But if you're a new Master Yi player, you're not going to be able to 1v9 and carry games. The next champion we have here is Zac. Zac is an underrated ZZZ, Z++ tier champion. I just think he needs like 75+ games to master. Like, you need to genuinely master this champion. If you master this champion, you'll actually be printing LP. If you want a training arc champion, I actually would recommend Zac. Like, Zac is that champion where if you are down to play 100 games and lose, after those 100 games, if you win— if you learn, not win, if you learn a lot about Zac, you'll just start printing LP. This champion can be really, really disgustingly broken. The last and final champion in the B tier is going to be Diana here. Diana has a really interesting situation where she's been buffed, buffed, buffed, nerfed, nerfed, nerfed time and time again. She was just recently buffed, and I don't think the buff was enough to put her in the A tier or S tier. But she's still pretty strong. She's still pretty relevant in the game. You have the Dusk and Dawn, which is still good on Diana in general. I think she has a place in the meta, but you need a good amount of games on her. I would say she's only like 25-30 games. She's just not giga OP right now, which is why she's mainly in the B tier. Next up on the list here, we have all of the C tier champions. We're going to do a lot of grouping with these champions because honestly, they all fit into one category, one boat. All of these champions are either too hard to play mechanically, don't scale hard enough into the mid-late game, or they do not have hard enough 1v9 potential. So too hard, don't scale, not enough 1v9 potential. Let's take a look and see what category Morgana falls into. So Morgana, how are you to 1v9 a game? You're not going to win the game on Morgana. Like, it's— you're kind of like Q bot, ult bot, you're not gonna 1v9. You have your E spell shield for a teammate. Zahean, he is a little bit too hard mechanically to play. Like, he can— you can completely 1v9 a fight, or you can be completely useless in a fight. That's the thing about Zahean. He's not amazing if you don't play it really well mechanically. Elise is a champion that's extremely hard mechanically to get to nail, and she also has a hard time 1v9ing the game all by herself. Like, you need the decent team fight to win, and Elise doesn't have the greatest team fight, so she kind of lacks on those two departments. In general though, her damage is really high, which is why she's still pretty strong and you could play her. Her damage is just super high. Ekko as a champion, mechanically, so difficult. You need to one trick him. You need a lot of knowledge on him. Scaling is great and you can definitely 1v9 games, but mechanically very, very, very hard to play. Next up we have is Rek'Sai. Rek'Sai is just really difficult to play mechanically. On top of that, Rek'Sai has difficulty to 1v9 the game, and Rek'Sai has difficulty with scaling into the mid-late game. Why is Rek'Sai still in the C tier then? Well, the big reason is she has some, like, good stat checks in general. Like, her damage on her E and her Qs is a bit ridiculous. Like, Rek'Sai's damage is really high. So that's why she's still, like, relevant in the meta. Next we have is Hecarim. Hecarim is, on paper, not the hardest mechanical champion. That's until you actually talk to one-tricks and you like actually understand there is so much more going on with Hecarim than you think. Hecarim is pretty decently hard mechanically. Uh, the big thing about Hecarim though is he needs too much. This is a kind of like a, like a fourth hidden category, but like Hecarim just requires that you have to get a lead or you cannot win the game. If you don't get a lead on Hecarim, you're fucking cooked. And that requirement is really awful. It's like you, you don't want to have to get a lead in order to win your games. Next we have Quinn. Quinn jungle is been buffed so many times recently. Uh, she's just a little bit hard mechanically. She's also hard to 1v9 the game yourself. Her scaling is pretty good though, but like an individual Quinn 1v9 solo carry, I haven't really seen those, especially in the jungle. And she's pretty hard mechanically. Bel'Veth, very hard mechanically. Like even for me when I play Bel'Veth, bro, I don't even know what the fuck I'm doing. I see Emerald players play Bel'Veth better than me, and like it's just hard. Like this champion is genuinely just hard. She scales well though, and she can definitely 1v9 games, But if you aren't good mechanically like me, like I don't really know what to do on Bel'Veth, man, you're gonna make the champion look so weak. Next up here we have Naafiri. Naafiri is gigahard champion. Like, I know you guys might think just ult to get a kill, just W, you're invincible, just E and you'll kill people. But like, you have to land your Qs. You have to be thoughtful about how you're Qing. You have to be thoughtful about how you're using your W. Who are you ulting? Like, a good Naafiri player will definitely print LP, but a bad Naafiri player just looks like a walking Morgana. Um, the thing about Naafiri is Naafiri, um, is also like hard to completely 1v9 solo carry a game. Uh, sometimes the enemy team groups, you can't actually kill them. Let's say you're really fed and the enemy team groups, you might have a hard time. That's why assassins in lower elos are generally harder to play as well. Next up here we have is Gwen. Gwen's recently been buffed, and honestly Gwen might deserve like B tier, but the thing is Gwen is just hard mechanically. She is hard to play and pilot. I've seen people fuck the W up. They don't use the E to reset the autos. They don't use their ulties at the right time. They're not angling their ulti. It's like, holy shit, I've seen Gwen players do the stupidest things ever. That's why she kind of just like is in the C tier. At some point I was like, yeah, Gwen is an S+ tier champion, Gwen is an A tier champion. And then I saw you guys piloting Gwen and I was like, wow, okay, let's stick to something easier because my God, I've seen the most disturbing disgusting things on Gwen. I've seen a 4-item Gwen, like, 20 kills, lose a team fight. Like, how is that possible? How do you lose a team fight when you're 20 kills, 4 items? How are you backing from enemies? Anyway, I've seen the worst things on Gwen. That's why I don't think she is the most broken, because she takes a lot of mechanics. Next up here we have Skarner. Skarner is a pretty just mid-tier champion. If you want to play a tank, there's a few better tanks Skarner's okay. He's a little bit hard mechanically, honestly. I've seen too many Skarners miss ulties. Um, you can't really solo carry the games. Your scaling is pretty nice, but yeah, you're, you're hard mechanically and you're not going to be able to solo carry games. The next champion we have here is going to be Warwick. Now Warwick is a champion that's pretty easy mechanically and he scales okay and he has some like carry potential if you get fed in the early game. But the reason why he's not in the S, A, or B tier is because he kind of just gets outclassed by a lot of the other champions above. Um, that's the main reason why he's here. I don't want to see— could he squeeze into the B tier? Yes. Could he squeeze in the A tier? Maybe. But nowadays there's just better champions in the game, and there's better ways to deal with Warwick. And especially because of Feylights, uh, Warwick just struggles a lot with getting like a bunch of free kills. Next here we have Lee Sin. Lee Sin has recently received another big buff. He's still very hard mechanically. They made him a little bit easier mechanically by allowing you to ward hop to by allowing you to ward hop and get a shield and also making it 7 seconds. But they nerfed his damage, so Lee Sin's just a little bit harder. And like, yeah, it just sucks. They nerf him, they buff him, they nerf him. I swear Lee Sin's those champions like, they'll buff him, they'll nerf him, they'll buff him, they'll nerf him. Like Lee Sin will always get played around with. And the other thing about Lee Sin, guys, is that it's hard to solo carry and 1v9 games when you're playing Lee Sin. Next we have Ambessa. Ambessa is very hard mechanically. She scales great, she can 1v9, but she's hard mechanically. And she's been nerfed recently. She's just too hard. Like, I can play her decently, like okay, but she's hard. Even when I play her, I'm like, wow, if I landed that Q there, if I landed that ult, if I angled better, if I positioned better, if I dashed better, I could win the game. But I end up losing it because I play poorly mechanically. All right guys, that's going to be it for our C-tier champions here. Let's jump into our D-tier champions. All of these champions in the D-tier are going to be just like the C-tier champions. They either are too hard mechanically, they don't scale well enough, or they can't 1v9 games, and it's just even worse for all these champions. Like, it's a little bit harder. Evelynn is hard mechanically. You can 1v9 the game, but there's so many ways to deal with Evelynn nowadays with pink wards, the scryers, etc. You can carry games, but like, bro, like carrying in lower elo as an Evelynn player, I very rarely see it. Cho'Gath scaling is great, hard to 1v9, very hard mechanically. I've seen too many Qs be missed. Nidalee, hardest champion in the game mechanically, one of the hardest champions in the game mechanically. I don't recommend her whatsoever, especially in lower elos. Sejuani, not difficult and scales okay, but you're not 1v9ing games on Sejuani. You're kind of team reliant. Vi, not difficult at all actually, and she has some scaling and she kind of is relevant in team fights. She can kind of carry games, but honestly the reason why Vi is just like in D tier is because she just struggles with keeping up with the pace of the game. Like, there are just better champions that outpace her. Maybe she can go into the C tier. Honestly, I could see her being a C tier champion, but she just gets outpaced so badly by all these other champions. That's why she's in D tier. Taliyah here. Taliyah is okay of a champion. Not amazing. Not a great champion in general. I don't highly recommend her. But she's relevant enough to say that she's in the D tier. She's just too hard mechanically. She's too hard mechanically. And other than that, she's an okay champion. Aatrox is a champion that is really hard mechanically as well. Can solo carry, he can 1v9 games, he can very easily go ahead and scale very, very hard, but very hard mechanic. Next up here we have Pantheon. Pantheon is again one of those champions where you are not the hardest mechanically, but you don't have the greatest scaling, and your 1v9 potential in the game to carry is not that high. Next we have Kindred. Kindred is a champion where her mechanics are really hard. She's gated by mechanics for sure. But not only is she gated by mechanics, right now it's just not the greatest meta for her because invades are nerfed. Um, invades are just much harder nowadays than they were before. So because of that, Kindred's in the D tier. And now we have our last and final tier, F tier champions. All 4 of these champions fall into one boat. They are assassin champions. I don't believe any player from the Iron to— especially the Iron to the Platinum range can pilot an assassin well. And they— and then even if you can pilot them well, they're not going to have a good time ending games. All I've seen from Iron to Platinum players is like, "I get fed and I can't carry the game. I can't win." It's because assassins have a fundamental difficulty with ending games. Because if an enemy team groups, you're not going to be able to assassinate them. There's a reason why lower elo players can't win games with assassins. There's a lot to learn. To understand how to carry games on all these champions. That's why they're down here. Not to mention they're very hard mechanically. But like, those are the real reasons why I don't put Rengar, Talon, or Kha'Zix, or Zed in the higher tiers. Let's say you're talking about Diamond+ games. Is Rengar and Talon and Kha'Zix going to be down here? Absolutely not. I think Talon's like an S-tier champion. I think Talon's really strong. I think Rengar's really strong. But in lower elos, I don't believe they're strong whatsoever. So hopefully you guys understand, that's why they're down here.
