LoL Patch 25.11 (15.11) Tier List - Best Top Lane Champions

Shen is still thriving in the top lane given his previous buffs, thus propelling him to the very top of the list due to his global impact and ability to navigate skirmishes and team fights.

Yorick is an amazing champion if your team lacks side lane pressure, allowing you to easily generate tempo while your team claims objectives.

Sett is once again back given the tankier side of the top lane meta, thus utilizing his kit effectively in a team fight might give you the upper edge to win your games and carry.

Malphite is a classic pick into a heavy AD comp, and with your AoE stun, you are surely to win some games with his straightforward playstyle.

Riven is one of the most popular one trick champions, given her extremely high skill ceiling, but you can still find success on her if you learn some basic combos.

Aatrox received some adjustments in this patch but he has become a great champion to lock in due to his damage and sustained healing in team fights.

Mundo goes where he pleases, and it seems his destination is the very top of the tier list as Riot Games might just crack down on him as the LoL streamer Alois  showcases time and time again how busted he is.

A lane bully and deadly juggernaut, Darius has once again slashed his way to the top of the meta, making him a great matchup into champions with limited mobility.

Cho'Gath is rampaging the top lane due to his reliable laning phase and great scaling with his ultimate.

Garen received a lot of changes as the devs shifted the focus from a crit glass cannon to a more typical juggernaut playstyle. 

Gwen is constantly seeing changes, and although she is not at the top anymore, you can still find success on this champion.

Irelia is bringing in more wins for players, especially those skillful enough to navigate her weaknesses whilst also taking full advantage of her dueling capabilities. 

Volibear can be a menace in dive-heavy comps. Your laning phase can go amazingly, especially when facing squishier melee champions. 

Aatrox has seen some ups and downs, but his relevance in the top lane hasn't changed as much so if you feel your inner Zeus calling, make sure to lock him in. 

Jax is great and very fun to play. Not only is Baus popularizing a new proxy playstyle where you max your E, but it seems the champion is racking up wins in solo queue as a whole.

People seem to be sleeping on Urgot, despite him being a great pick against AP champions as well as offering damage and tankiness. 

Vladimir is rising from the grave given his popularity in Esports and players finding out that he can be a good counter to Gwen.

Gnar is in a decent spot, however, some players might find it difficult to manage his passive around team fights.

Kennen is a suitable AP champion should your team require good team fighting and adequate damage.

Trundle is a niche pick, and although you should hesitate to pick him at times, you can find a lot of value when going against tanks.
