↖ Top Lane

↖ - High ELO: Rengar - The Unstoppable Cat

Rengar is currently one of the most broken top laners. His mobility and damage output make him incredibly frustrating to play against. With items like Duskblade and Essence Reaver, he becomes an unstoppable force.

 

↖ - Low ELO: Kled - The Smaller Version of Rengar

Kled shares similarities with Rengar in terms of appearance, but he brings his own strengths to the top lane. His tankiness and damage potential make him a formidable opponent. Remember to delay leveling your second ability until you engage in a fight. Build Ravenous Hydra and Eclipse for maximum impact.

 

↖ Jungle

↖ - High ELO: Hecarim - The Versatile Nightmare

Despite the nerfs to Helia, Hecarim remains a powerful pick in the jungle. He can flex into various roles and has the option to build supportive or damage-oriented items. Opt for a supportive build with Shurelya's and Imperial Mandate to provide speed and utility to your team.

 

↖ - Low ELO: Rek'Sai - The Queen of Cheese Ganking

Rek'Sai excels at surprise ganks and tilting opponents. She can be effective in all ELO brackets. Build Stridebreaker into Black Cleaver for a broken core that ensures success.

 

↖ Mid Lane

↖ - High ELO: Azir - The Emperor Returns

Azir has received recent buffs, making him a strong pick in high ELO. With items like Crown of the Shattered Queen and Nashor's Tooth, he can dish out damage while mitigating enemy attacks.

 

↖ - Low ELO: Anivia - The Low Skill Floor Champion

Anivia offers a lower skill floor but rewards skilled players. Mastering wall placements and stun combos is key. Build Rod of Ages and Archangel's Staff for optimal performance.

 

↖ ADC

↖ - High ELO: Ziggs - The Annoying and Impactful Marksman

Ziggs is an easy-to-play ADC with high impact. He excels at poking enemies and breaking freezes. His flexible build paths, such as Luden's into Shadowflame or Liandry's into Archangel's, give him versatility.

 

↖ - Low ELO: Sona - The Supportive Melody

Sona is a safe pick in lower ELO, providing utility and support for the team. Items like Moonstone and supportive items (e.g., Ardent Censer, Redemption) will lead you to victory.

 

↖ Support

↖ - High ELO: Rell - The Powerhouse Support

Rell has risen to prominence with her powerful engage potential and supportive capabilities. Items like Everdusk and Knight's Vow enhance her effectiveness.

 

↖ - Low ELO: Zyra - The Burst and Control Support

Zyra shines in lower ELO, where her burst damage and crowd control wreak havoc in messy fights. Run Comet and Scorch, and build Liandry's Anguish and Rylai's Crystal Scepter for maximum damage.

 

Conclusion:

With the Tearless Update, these champions and item builds will help you dominate the Rift. Whether you're playing in high or low ELO, these picks and strategies provide a path to victory. Good luck, have fun, and may your games be filled with success. Stay safe, stay healthy, and enjoy your League of Legends journey!
