Week of October 5, 2026, patch 7.3a. 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
SamiraDragon Lane
C → S · WR 51.9% · PR 10.4% · BR 4.7%
Samira moves from C to S: current-patch results place him clearly higher. Win rate 52.8% at 10.0% pick rate.
YuumiSupport
C → A · WR 49.4% · PR 12.7% · BR 41.0%
Yuumi can become very strong with the right carry, but depends too much on an already-performing partner to be a stable general recommendation.
JannaSupport
B → S · WR 50.1% · PR 5.0% · BR 0.3%
Janna remains a solid answer to dive comps, but her low pickrate (~2%) and near-average winrate place her in B rather than as a priority pick this patch.
HecarimJungle
B → S · WR 52.3% · PR 2.4% · BR 2.5%
Hecarim holds S on the current patch: that is the level supported by their results and by the external sources we track. Win rate 52.7% at 2.5% pick rate.
HweiSupport
A → S+ · WR 54.3% · PR 1.3% · BR 74.8%
Hwei enters the support tier list at B on release (22 September 2026): no Tencent stats exist yet, so this tier reflects his kit — poke, shields and three controls, held back by his fragility against hooks and engage. To be reassessed as soon as first data arrives.

Watchlist: keep an eye on these
No tier change yet, but the curves are moving:
GnarBaron Lane
Tier A · WR 49.5% · PR 3.3% · BR 0.4%
Good hybrid profile between range, engage, and teamfight if rage is managed well.
RivenBaron Lane
Tier B · WR 50.4% · PR 1.8% · BR 0.3%
Less immediate lane pressure after the passive nerf.
KayleBaron Lane
Tier A · WR 50.3% · PR 1.7% · BR 0.1%
Strong scaling, but early game is too vulnerable into tempo picks.
