Week of August 4, 2026, patch 7.2b. Our weekly pipeline just recomputed the tier list from official Tencent data (CN server) crossed with external sources: 10 champions change tier this week. Here is who is climbing, who is dropping, and the exact numbers behind each move — full per-role detail on the tier list and per-champion win-rate history on Meta Trends.
Climbing this week
YunaraDragon Lane
A → S · WR 51.1% · PR 15.7% · BR 19.1%
New slow-starting hybrid AD/AP marksman: her Transcendence windows are very strong in mid/late game, but she has zero crowd control and depends entirely on her team to create openings. Provisional tier until 7.2 ranked data is available.
Twisted FateMid Lane
S → S+ · WR 52.8% · PR 11.1% · BR 5.9%
Twisted Fate keeps huge solo queue value through map pressure, vision, and the ability to convert side plays into objectives.
ViJungle
S → S+ · WR 52.0% · PR 9.4% · BR 5.4%
Vi brings very reliable targeted engage, ideal for punishing mobile carries and forcing clear action around objectives.
Aurelion SolMid Lane
B → A · WR 49.6% · PR 8.8% · BR 6.8%
Aurelion Sol has real scaling and zone value, but can lack tempo against mids that can move early.
KarmaSupport
B → A · WR 50.6% · PR 8.5% · BR 0.3%
Karma brings poke, shields, and lane tempo, but can lack hard crowd control against comps that force engage.
Dropping this week
Lee SinJungle
S+ → A · WR 47.0% · PR 15.4% · BR 13.4%
Lee Sin moves from S+ to A: current-patch results no longer support his previous standing. Win rate 47.0% at 15.4% pick rate.
SingedBaron Lane
S+ → A · WR 51.0% · PR 2.1% · BR 0.8%
Singed moves from S+ to A: current-patch results no longer support his previous standing. Win rate 51.0% at 2.1% pick rate.
Kai'SaDragon Lane
S → A · WR 47.7% · PR 15.6% · BR 0.5%
Kai'Sa remains very complete: scaling, burst, mobility, and the ability to follow engage onto the backline.
Master YiJungle
B → C · WR 47.4% · PR 8.3% · BR 48.6%
Master Yi can hard carry if the game gives him time, but remains too punishable by crowd control, invades, and grouped drafts.
NautilusSupport
S → A · WR 50.4% · PR 7.1% · BR 1.6%
Nautilus provides simple, targeted engage that is very hard to ignore. He remains one of the best supports for punishing a mispositioned backline.

Watchlist: keep an eye on these
No tier change yet, but the curves are moving:
GnarBaron Lane
Tier A · WR 51.1% · PR 4.3% · BR 0.5%
Good hybrid profile between range, engage, and teamfight if rage is managed well.
RivenBaron Lane
Tier B · WR 47.8% · PR 1.6% · BR 0.2%
Less immediate lane pressure after the passive nerf.
KayleBaron Lane
Tier A · WR 50.6% · PR 2.1% · BR 0.3%
Strong scaling, but early game is too vulnerable into tempo picks.
