Wild Rift meta: Caitlyn climbs, Miss Fortune drops — week of September 23, 2026
Week of September 23, 2026, patch 7.3. 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
CaitlynDragon Lane
B → S · WR 52.2% · PR 36.5% · BR 7.1%
Caitlyn is still heavily picked (~18% pickrate), but her winrate has fallen under 49%, dropping her to A despite a constant draft presence.
Lee SinJungle
A → S · WR 47.0% · PR 14.7% · BR 9.0%
Lee Sin holds S on the current patch: that is the level supported by their results and by the external sources we track. Win rate 47.0% at 14.7% pick rate.
YunaraDragon Lane
S → S+ · WR 50.7% · PR 14.3% · BR 13.5%
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.
Kai'SaDragon Lane
B → A · WR 50.6% · PR 12.1% · BR 0.4%
Kai'Sa remains very complete: scaling, burst, mobility, and the ability to follow engage onto the backline.
TwitchDragon Lane
C → B · WR 48.8% · PR 9.7% · BR 1.6%
Twitch can flip a game with a good flank, but his fragile early game and positioning dependence make him inconsistent.
Dropping this week
Miss FortuneDragon Lane
S+ → S · WR 49.0% · PR 15.4% · BR 4.7%
Miss Fortune keeps strong lane and teamfight value. Her ultimate heavily punishes drafts that group poorly.
JhinDragon Lane
S → A · WR 48.9% · PR 13.5% · BR 0.5%
Jhin brings range, control, pick potential, and reliable damage without relying heavily on attack speed.
PantheonJungle
S+ → S · WR 50.8% · PR 8.2% · BR 5.0%
Pantheon holds S on the current patch: that is the level supported by their results and by the external sources we track. Win rate 50.8% at 8.2% pick rate.
VayneDragon Lane
S → A · WR 49.0% · PR 6.8% · BR 9.5%
Vayne remains an important anti-tank answer, but the 7.1d nerf lowers her extended damage and makes her less automatic.
SamiraDragon Lane
B → C · WR 44.9% · PR 6.1% · BR 4.1%
Samira remains dangerous with good engage setup, but struggles heavily into poke, crowd control, and kiting drafts.
Watchlist: keep an eye on these
No tier change yet, but the curves are moving:
GnarBaron Lane
Tier S · WR 50.3% · PR 3.4% · BR 0.6%
Good hybrid profile between range, engage, and teamfight if rage is managed well.
RivenBaron Lane
Tier A · WR 50.5% · PR 1.3% · BR 0.3%
Less immediate lane pressure after the passive nerf.
KayleBaron Lane
Tier A · WR 49.9% · PR 2.1% · BR 0.2%
Strong scaling, but early game is too vulnerable into tempo picks.
