Choose your rank in the filter (Silver) for the tiers at that rank only.
Win rates of champions with few games are pulled toward 50% before they get a tier. Countered by shows the three opponents each champion does worst against.

The big stats sites open their tier lists at Emerald and above: U.GG and OP.GG both did when we checked on October 29, 2026. Most players are below that, and a pick that wins in Emerald doesn't have to win in Silver. This list counts Ranked Solo/Duo + Flex games of mid laners from the lobbies of LazyElo players, so it reflects the ranks they actually play at.
The LazyElo app builds this list from the games in your own lobbies, so it shows what wins at your level. Per lane and duo, per queue and patch, with your own record on each champion next to it. It also helps in champ select, scouts the loading screen and reviews your games.
