Competitive Tier List Update For Season 3

Hey guys! First update for the new year prepping for the start of Season 3 with the upcoming North American Qualifiers. The game has changed so much in this last few months but I think I finally got a good enough looking tier list in which I hope you find useful.

* Tier 3 -  Pantheon, Vayne, Leona, Cassiopeia, Talon, Xerath, Annie, Hecarim, Renekton, Rammus, Janna, Zyra, Kennen, Brand, Gangplank, Ziggs, Vi, Draven, Teemo, Kassadin, Syndra, Soraka, Garen, Swain, Galio, Varus, Trundle,

* Tier 5 - Shyvana, Tristana, Shaco, Tryndamere, Volibear, Poppy, Karma, Heimerdinger, 

I will be doing an AMA soon (yet to be announced, but will be within the next few days) about my champions placements and reasons for placing them where I did. When I do post the AMA it will be posted on RoG and on my Facebook, and Twitter. I hope you all had a happy new year and here's to another great year on Reign of Gaming.

Be sure to ask questions and comment :D

    Exactly why is skarner so low?

    Wasn't he OMFG MUST PICK NERF THIS SCORPION ROIT PLS at the end of season 2?
    And he didn't get nerfed since then...

    It was just the ult thing, right?

    Yes just the the nerf thing. I am with you, Skarner is very low. He is still a strong jungler, build is very cheap and does tons of damage with CDR/AS alone. He is even a strong solo top character.

    I've had games post nerf where my ult literally never was successful in going off due to flash/blinks.  If people are watching, they can break his ult far to easily now.

    Why is Kayle so low? She can fill any role in the game, she has an amazing ulti, and she can carry quite well

    She can also buy pretty much any convoluted mix of the new Items giving her great gold efficiency

    Kayle relies on getting fed to be anything other than an ult-bot. In competitive games, it's pretty hard to get fed. However, she's an insane pubstomper, and snowballs harder than gragas rolling down a mountain during an avalanche.

    He said on Twitter that he'll do it when he touches down in Poland and when he gets to a computer with some free time. So basically within the next week I'd guess.

    Wow, I don't know who create this rank, but it's so bad.

    At the moment Talon (T3) Amumu (T1) and Evelyn (T1) have highest win ratio, so how they are so low tier. You've even put overpowered Rumble on tier 2.

    Fiora - tier 4... is that another joke? Fiora is one of worst champions created in LoL. Noone use her even in Black Cleaver meta she's just underpowered due to her ultimate which kills her (she starts ult, you just go to tower).

    I just want to know what you've used to create this rank... you look at fullbuilds that aren't possible to finish, so Ez is T1 cuz of end game instead of T5, cuz his games end about 20-30min?

    From T5 i agree only with Tryn, Shaco and Heimer, but where is Ezreal, Rumble or Vayne.

    Sorry to put this guy on blast, but THIS GUY IS AN IDIOT!!! and it truly deficient of any common sense whatsoever.

    How is Tristana tier 5? I've seen some Trists recently do just fine

    her early game burst output is comparable to most, ezreal, graves, miss fortune, corki. unfortunately explosive shot forces her to push, and rocket jumps strong base damage is only relevant if your willing to use your escape to close into melee, a balls to the walls maneuver. the risk is high and the reward is equal to what you will find elsewhere.

    her mid game is horrid, quite possibly the worst of any ranged carry. her ability base damage is no longer relevent yet they do not scale with AD, its too early for her attackrange and dps steroid to be relevant yet, she will struggle to contribute as much as others, but atleast your very safe.

    late game a 90% attackspeed steroid and 703 attackrange speak for themselves, your dps is top 5 easily, and your safety rivals even ezreal.

    her power curve is "U shaped" highly unusual, and ultimatly her downfall. If a hyper carry is what your shopping for you could take twitch, vayne, kogmaw, and force a 2v1 lane to skip their weak early game and rocket straight into the mid - late game.
