Tier List Explanation

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

Jinx is a hyperscalling beast that can guarantee high chances of winning, depending on whether your team peels for you effectively.

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

Nilah is an all-in champion that can quickly swing the fight in your favor, especially if you are able to utilize her kit effectively.

Twitch has seen a lot of play due to his stealth and team fighting. Although your early game might be quite difficult, especially when outranged, but once you scale up to the late game, you can easily dictate the outcome of your matches.

Smolder is once again popular to the disdain of some, and joy of others. Your scaling is on par with other OP carries so best of luck on your stacking spree.

Miss Fortune excels in team fights due to her insane AoE damage, and the added laning pressure make it easier for you to scale up quite nicely.

Vayne is the go-to tank shredder that can easily melt enemies without much effort, however, you will need to lock in during the early game and avoid unnecessary trades.

A-Tier Bot Lane Champions

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

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.

Kog'Maw scales incredibly well, but needs proper protection due to his lack of mobility.

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

Swain is one of the AP bot laners who not only adds damage, but utility in team fights as well.

Hwei is more of a niche pick due to dificulty of landing all of the right abilities, yet you can get a lot of utility from his kit.

Zeri is every enchanter's dream carry as not only are you extremely versatile and mobile, you also offer a lot of damage in team fights.

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

Corki is a solid choice if you want a bit of poke and a relatively stable laning phase.

Seraphine can struggle against some matchups, but her long range poke is quite annoying to deal with.

Ziggs is a safe choice for players wanting a relatively calm laning phase, primarily focusing on farming.

Varus has been struggling in terms of relevancy. Despite being a standard pro pick, solo queue is not very forgiving due to his lack of mobility.
