Everyone Is Playing League Classic Right Now. Here’s Where to Start

Posted on by Stan

League Classic is now live with the launch of Patch 26.15, and it puts the game back the way it played before the rune rework, flat rune pages you had to buy, a 21/0/9 mastery tree, and an item shop full of things that stopped existing around a decade ago! 60 champions are live in the mode at launch, and the meta is shaping up to be nothing like the one you know.

Two things are live on U.GG today to help you make sense of League Classic!

The Classic Tier List Ranks All 60 Champions

All champions in League Classic are ranked S+ through D. The old rune and mastery system rewards a completely different set of strengths, so the order is completely different compared to the live version of the tier list.

A note on the data: Riot isn’t making League Classic match history available through the Riot API and has asked about Classic data not to be aggregated. These rankings and builds are based on PBE testing and theory-crafting, not live-match stats, and will be updated as the mode develops.

Below, we only list champions in the S+ tier. For the full champion rankings, check out our League Classic tier list.

Every Champions Has Its Own Classic Build Page

While the tier list tells you who’s strong, the individual champion pages tell you how to play them. Each of the 60 champions has a full build page covering:

  • Rune page
  • Masteries
  • Summoner spells and skill priority
  • Starting items, full six-item builds, and situational picks
  • Ability tooltips as they work in Classic (different from live versions)

As an example, here’s Ahri’s detailed champion profile:

We hope the tier list and build pages help you navigate the new League Classic mode and we’ll see you in-game!

League Classic Won’t Have Match History, and Riot Wants It That Way

Posted on by Stan

Riot Games developers announced their plan to keep League Classic match history data out of the official Riot API to “preserve the spirit of the mode.” They also ask that League Classic data not be aggregated or displayed to users in any form. , League Classic will also be supported as a valid map type in the Riot Tournament API to allow for the creation and management of community-led League Classic initiatives.

Based on PBE testing, we’ve come up with a tier list for League Classic that you can check out here.

Season 1 2026 Isn’t Playing It Safe and Demacia Proves It

Posted on by Stan

Earlier today, Riot has posted a video of Pabro and Meddler talking about the upcoming changes in Season 1 of 2026. If you’ve missed the video, you can watch it here.

Highlights

Can’t tune in? Here’s a quick summary of the key takeaways:

  • Demacia Rising is a new evolving meta-game going live tomorrow, where you’ll help grow the Kingdom of Demacia.
  • ARAM: Mayhem’s run is getting extended and it’s also getting a bigger update in the forthcoming 26.03 patch.
  • Riot is trialing a new lobby hostage intervention system in some regions to take immediate action on bad actors in your lobbies. The feature will be rolled out over the next few patches.
  • The Lunar Revel celebration will re-introduce Firecracker skins and bring a new thematic called Petals of Spring.
  • The Victorious skin this season will be for Braum.
  • Viego‘s Exalted skin will be out this season.
  • The 2026 esports season kicks off with First Stand in São Paulo, Brazil, taking place from March 16 through March 22.
  • To decouple side selection and draft order, Riot’s introducing “First Selection”, giving pro teams more flexibility.
  • Bigger features currently being worked on include a brand new integrated client, a revamped Summoner’s Rift, changes to pre-game choices such as runes, and a reworked New Player Experience.

These Champions Are Getting Permanently Banned in Patch 25.24

Posted on by Stan

Patch 25.24 has been up for a while now and it’s time to look at the most-banned champions in the update.

What is Ban Rate?

Ban rate is how often a champion gets banned during champion select. If a champion has a 20% ban rate, it means in around 1 out of every 5 games, someone on either team used a ban on that character, meaning nobody can pick it.

Top 30 of the Most Banned Champions in the Latest LoL Patch

Here’s a tier list with the top 30 most-banned roles in Patch 25.24.

Patch 25.24 Just Flipped the Meta and These Champs Are Running Ranked

Posted on by Stan

Riot recently released Patch 25.24 and we’ve got enough data now to look at the top winners and losers of the update!

How’s the Tier List Calculated?

The tier list is built for Ranked Solo players at Emerald and above across every region. The list is generated by measuring standard deviations in 3 key metrics:

  • Win rate: how reliably a champion converts games into victories
  • Pick rate: how often players choose that champion in Emerald+
  • Ban rate: how frequently the champion gets banned in picks
