League of Legends Tier List
Patch 26.20 is the Worlds patch. Treat nerfed pro staples as bans when your team does not play them, and treat the buffed list as the champions allowed to be picked into a losing matchup. This is not a 50-champion letter grade. Riot only moved a short list.
Top
Ambessa and K'Sante were the pro-targeted nerfs. Ambessa's passive deals less late. K'Sante spends more mana on W and reduces less damage. Diana's shield ratio went to 14% of bonus health, so the bruiser Rocketbelt build is the buffed top and mid option, not the full assassin glass build.
Jungle
Kindred is the clearest jungle buff: 165% monster damage on W and a 1.5 second E slow that no longer sticks to small monsters. Lillia's ultimate lasts longer at rank 2 and 3. If you play a farming jungler, the Kindred mark contest is slightly scarier on this patch.
Mid
Cassiopeia lost 20 base health and 30 base mana. She still scales. She is easier to shove out before lost chapter. Swain gained magic resist and Vision of Empire damage, and lost 2 base armor. Neeko's root compensation is there because Rocketbelt is less of a free escape.
Bot
Yunara's on-hit is 2 lower at every Q rank, and her slow does not stack. Ashe lost 0.5 AD per level because pro play was drafting her as a damage carry with utility. Lucian gained AD growth after the previous patch hurt bot. Smolder's crit ratios went up. Vayne's Tumble costs a flat 30 mana again.
Support
Tahm Kench's Q heal is 10/20/30/40/50, a real rank-up instead of the old flat curve, because tank supports lost out when the support item changed. He is the support buff on this sheet. Everyone else in the role is drafting around the bot-lane nerfs above.
