Live game: Patch 26.22 (live ~4 Nov 2026; Riot notes 3 Nov 2026). Our newest tier list is the Patch 26.19 snapshot from U.GG Emerald+ (captured 28 Sep 2026, 10:42 Europe/Stockholm). We haven’t published a 26.20, 26.21 or 26.22 list, so for this week’s tiers use U.GG or OP.GG. Every guide here is dated to a named patch. Older lists stay up as labeled snapshots. Patch hub: Patches.
Use our guides for: dated snapshots + links into visual hubs (skins / wallpapers).

How to read the guide library
The newest filled tier list is Patch 26.19, captured from U.GG Emerald+ Ranked Solo (World) on 28 Sep 2026, 10:42 Europe/Stockholm. Patch 26.17 remains a historical snapshot (captured 6 Sep 2026). As of 9 Nov 2026 our stamp is three patches older than the live game (26.22), so the honest live link is U.GG or OP.GG. Essays in this library are not Emerald+ tables — do not merge them into the snapshot.
