Methodology

Tier is a place in the roster, not a fixed score: the win rate pulled toward 50% by games / (games + 1,137), plus 0.03 per point of pick and ban rate. S+ is the top 5%, S the next 12%, A the next 25%, B the next 33%, C the rest. On a lane’s own list, win rate, pick rate and games are the champion’s IN THAT LANE, and the tier is its place among that lane.
