I'd say the top 5 picks for every role atm are:

Top: Shen, Kennen, Riven, Lee Sin, Jax
Jungle: Nocturne, Udyr, Lee Sin, Nautilus, Alistar
Mid: Morgana, Cassiopeia, Ryze, Karthus, Kassadin
AD: Graves, Corki, Urgot, Kog'Maw, Ashe
Support: Soraka, Alistar, Taric, Janna, Leona

Those are pretty much tier 1 in my list, possibly with a few champs I forgot about x)

Thanks to Hoppermh for the signature!

Don't forget OP Dr. Mundo!!! He is either picked or banned in every match from the acutal IPL qualifiers so far.

Tier 1 jungle: Lee Sin, Shyvana, cho-gath, Nocturne

People that can go multiple places and wreck: Kayle, Varus, Urgot, Akali, Caitlyn, Lee Sin, Katarina

Well that's off the top of my head. Other people will make sure to add to this list and correct whatever I got wrong.


Morg and Kass as AP mids are over-rated. Morg is too easily harassed early game and her spell shield crumples. Kassadin can be easily poked down, harassed from lane, and has to choose between Harass with Q, or farming. Ideally he SHOULD do well mid, but being a melee based AP carry with long cool downs and NO reliable sustain, he can get owned (and tends to IMO). Too many sheeps.

I can tell you who I feel are the "top tier" champions but people will laugh.

Olaf,Vlad,Cass,Ahri,Nautilus,Shen,Soraka,Leona,Kog'Maw,Ashe,Graves,Shyvana,Lee Sin, Nocturne,Taric,Udyr,Ryze,Karthus,Lulu

These champions are the champions I consider top tier. Their skill sets and powercurves are all very strong. Now I might get called a sheep for these picks, simply because they're common on streams/tournaments. But I can honestly say, I feel these champs are the current BEST of the best in their specific roles. They have trades offs, but for the most part, they're extremely solid picks.

SUB TIER 1: (Honorable mention, champs that are comparable to the top tier, but have a particular weakness which makes them less optimal) Warwick, Morgana, Gragas, Katarina, Kennen, Miss Fortune, Caitlyn, Varus

these picks are not in any particular order.

My overall opinion.

Tier is too relative to be honest, depends on you, your team, your opponent, etc. I know tiers are based on how top players go with one champ versus each other, but it's still too narrow. This game has enough diversity and requirements that imagining an optimal scenario for a 1 vs 1 champ in lane isn't enough, specially with junlers around and all that.
Thank you Byron for 2014's loudest laugh up till today

everyone forgets Dr. Mundo, still he crushes solo queue and ranked asewll.

In the current qualifiers Morgana has very much picks aswell. Her ultimate controls fights so well. Same goes for Kennen. He also wins most lanes.

Shyvana is no way near top tier, everything what she does, Dr. Mundo does it better.

BTW: You miss Janna aswell.
