NEW TIER LIST for PATCH 14.24 - League of Legends

Victor Visual Update and Patch 14.24 Changes

Victor's Visual Update Controversy

• The Victor visual update goes live for patch 14.24, receiving mixed reactions on social media regarding the transition to his Arcane version.

• Viewers are encouraged to share their opinions on whether they prefer the new visuals or the previous design.

Challenges in Low ELO Gameplay

• Players in low ELO face outdated advice from higher-ranked players, often leading to confusion about effective strategies.

• High ELO players may suggest complex tactics like wave synchronization that do not apply well in lower ranks.

• Emphasis is placed on adapting strategies that work specifically within a player's own ELO, such as split pushing as an ADC.

Top Lane Champion Adjustments

Rumble Buffs and Expectations

• Rumble receives buffs to his QAP ratio (100% to 110%) and WAP ratio (25% to 30%), but these changes are not expected to significantly impact his meta presence.

Ambessa Nerfs Impact

• Ambessa faces substantial nerfs with her W shield duration reduced from 2 seconds to 1.5 seconds and significant drops in shield strength, likely lowering her tier ranking.

Mundo's Scaling Nerf

• Mundo experiences a minor scaling nerf with Max Health conversion dropping slightly; however, he remains stable in tier rankings.

Riven's Competitive Viability

• Riven is nerfed with a reduction of her eBay Shield by 10 at all ranks; her effectiveness varies greatly between high and low ELO playstyles.

Current Top Lane Tier List Insights

Dominant Champions

• The OP tier remains unchanged except for Ambessa’s drop; champions like Maai and Malite continue to dominate due to their power levels.

Tank Champion Performance

• Tanks such as Tom Kench and Cho'Gath excel due to their damage output combined with durability, making them favorable choices over riskier fighters.

Jungle Champion Adjustments

Master Yi Buff Potential

• Master Yi receives a buff increasing Q crit strike bonus from 35% to 56.25%, potentially revitalizing crit builds which have been out of favor recently.

Elise's Early Game Power Reduction

• Elise sees a base health decrease from 650/50 to 620, likely resulting in around a 1% drop in win rate, moving her down from S-tier into A-tier.

Graves' Minor Nerf Effects

• Graves’ Q explosion bonus AD ratio is reduced but remains competitive within the S-tier despite this adjustment.

Talon's Jungle Clear Adjustment

Champion Updates and Tier List Changes

Talon and Warwick Adjustments

• Talon remains in the jungle S tier for now, but may drop to A tier if nerfs are harsher than expected.

• Warwick's base AD is reduced from 65 to 63, while his W ability gains a buff with increased attack speed duration (1 to 2.5 seconds) and Q range increases from 350 to 365.

• Despite the base AD nerf, Warwick is expected to maintain strength in the jungle S tier due to overall balance.

LeBlanc Nerf and Victor Buff

• LeBlanc receives a nerf of five base damage on her Q, impacting her early game kill threat significantly; she drops from A tier to B tier.

• Victor undergoes a visual update along with several buffs: passive stacks increase for cannon minion kills, Q shield rises from 25 to 40 early on, and E mana cost decreases from 70 to 60.

• Victor's W stun becomes more consistent at exactly 1.25 seconds; R size increases by 40% after takedowns, enhancing his late-game potential.

Mid Lane Tier List Changes

• With multiple buffs, Victor moves into mid lane S tier; adjustments also affect Corki, Swain, and Ambessa.

• Corki is nerfed due to his stronger bot lane performance; he drops further down as a mid-laner.

• Swain loses armor scaling which affects his mid-lane viability; he falls from S tier to A tier.

ADC Updates

• Twitch receives buffs on his Q ability (duration increased from 5 to 6 seconds), but remains in B tier as changes aren't enough for significant upward movement.

• Corki’s E base damage is lowered by 20 across all ranks; he drops from OP status into S tier due to these adjustments.

Bot Lane Dynamics

• The bot lane appears balanced with no clear OP ADC for patch 14.24; top performers include Kog'Maw, Sivir, and Miss Fortune (MF).

• Sivir and MF have gained power relative to other ADC champions like Corki and Jhin due to recent changes affecting their performance negatively.

Mage Viability in Bot Lane

• Mages continue showing higher win rates in bot lane compared to traditional ADC champions; Lux has a notable win rate of 54%.

Support Tier List Updates for Season 14

Changes to Rell

• Rell's W Shield has increased from 610 to 640, enhancing her early game durability.

• Max Health scaling for the W Shield is boosted from 12% to 13%, improving her overall resilience.

• Passive resist steel buffed from 2% to 3%, indicating a significant improvement in her support capabilities.

• These changes may elevate Rell's tier placement, potentially moving her into the A tier.

Yumi Adjustments

• Yumi receives buffs with a reduction in Q Mana cost from a range of 50-100 down to 50-75.

• Q damage increases from a scale of 60-210 to 60-235, benefiting her later in the game after level 9.

• Despite these adjustments, Yumi is expected to remain in the B tier due to insufficient early-game impact.

Swain and Poppy Nerfs

• Swain faces armor nerfs with base armor dropping by one and per-level armor scaling reduced (5.2 to 4.7).

• Poppy undergoes another round of nerfs; base armor and scaling are decreased while Q damage drops early but increases at max rank (from 120 to 130).

• The nerfs are not seen as enough to significantly drop Poppy’s standing below A tier; she remains effective in solo queue despite changes.

Tom Kench's Rise

• Tom Kench is highlighted as an exceptional melee support, outperforming others like Poppy recently.

• His build mirrors that of a solo laner, allowing him strong skirmishing potential with Heartsteel completion and Grasp as his Keystone Rune.
