Riot Games

Given the significant meta shifts with each patch, some champions start climbing up the ranks, whilst others become subpar. League of Legends is constantly changing its focus in terms of gameplay, and with frequent balance adjustments, some champions stick out more due to their kit.

With that in mind, we will take a look at the best bot lane champions you can pick in 25.13 (15.13) to win as many games as possible. 

Tier List Explanation

LoL Patch 25.S1.1 (15.1) Tier List - Best Top Lane Champions
Riot Games

This tier list will examine some of the most-played League of Legends champions in the bot lane. Keep in mind that this is for Emerald+ divisions. 

  • S-Tier: The best champions you can use to ensure you are always victorious.
  • A-Tier: Great options but lacking just slightly either in terms of damage or utility.
  • B-Tier: Viable and reliable in most situations, you can manage rather decently.

NOTE: Although this tier list strives to be as objective as possible in terms of viability, you should not limit yourself to strictly adhere to this list, but rather experiment and see which champion feels fun to play with.

S-Tier Bot Lane Champions

Lucian
Lucian

Lucian is making a comeback, and given the current meta you will certainly find a lot of success with this pick.

Kai'Sa
Kai'Sa

Not only did Kai'Sa get some new skins in honor of Uzi's inauguration into the Hall of Legends, but it seems she is once again at the top of the list due to her incredibly rewarding playstyle and skill expression.

Jinx
Jinx

Jinx is a fantastic hypercarry that will need a lot of peel an

Tristana
Tristana

Tristana is in a very similar position to Jinx, but she has the added benefit of having a mobility spell. 

Jhin
Jhin

Jhin is a great option for providing long-distance assistance for your team as you lay down bullet after bullet. 


Caitlyn
Caitlyn

Caitlyn is a reliable lane bully, especially when paired with a Karma or Lux making your enemy bot lane miserable as you safely farm and harass with ease. 

Aphelios
Aphelios

Aphelios received some much-needed buffs to his damage, making him once a gain a strong option for players that have been dying to master this 200-year's worth of experience in balancing. 

Ezreal
Ezreal

Ezreal is well-rounded carry that has good mobility and poke along with amazing team fighting damage.

A-Tier Bot Lane Champions

Ashe
Ashe

Ashe is doing great as an ADC and with a built-in engage tool, she can quite deadly in team fights.

Xayah
Xayah

Xayah is a great option for a team that is looking to all-in you as your ult will give you enough time to disengage and position yourself. 

Varus
Varus

Varus has risen in popularity, sporting either a lethality poke build or on-hit tank shredder one. This flexibility allows you to provide what's needed for your team in a reliable manner.

Sivir
Sivir

Sivir is great for a dive-heavy comp, especially if your team wants to fight all the time. 

Smolder
Smolder

Smolder is another good scaling option as you can get away with almost any late game fight should you safely stack and farm.


Senna
Senna

After the passive nerfs, Senna is finally relatively balanced in terms of her damage making it a lot more enjoyable to play against her.


Miss Fortune
Miss Fortune

MF has dropped in priority somewhat and her immobile nature can make it difficult to effectively DPS in messy team fights.

Samira
Samira

Samira is a flashy all-in champion that requires a lot of practice to perfectly negate incoming projectiles whilst also setting up your ult for maximum damage.

B-Tier Bot Lane Champions


Draven
Draven

Draven is a fantastic champion that can snowball the game extremely well, but keep in mind that you need get kills as soon as possible.

Vayne
Vayne

Vayne is somewhat decent and despite Uzi's recent inauguration into the Hall of Legends, Riot did not tweak her kit or stats.

Twitch
Twitch

Twitch saw some slight buffs to his AP scaling but you can still get a ton of usage out of him due to the built-in stealth.

Kog'Maw
Kog'Maw

Kog'Maw has fallen off a bit, but if you are lucky enough to get a reliable Braum on your side, you can look for this obnoxious Void-spawn. 

Best Bot Lane Champions Tier List

All in all, this League of Legends tier list is surely to change based on balance changes the devs implement but it should give you a general idea of which champions are strong and which might need some additional tuning to become more viable.
