Patch 26.11 landed on May 27 and completely flipped the support meta. Enchanter items took a beating, tank runes got buffed, and the tier list reshuffled across every role. 🔄
Here's the full breakdown so you know exactly what to play this patch.
This is the biggest shift of Patch 26.11. Aery (shield reduced), Moonstone Renewer, Imperial Mandate, and Dream Maker all got reworked or nerfed. Meanwhile, Aftershock and Guardian picked up buffs.
The result is clean: Nautilus climbs to Tier 1 at rank #2, Leona locks in at rank #5, and Thresh stays untouchable at rank #1. These are your go-to picks for the next few weeks.

On the other side of the table, Lulu drops to Tier 2 (rank #10), Soraka falls to Tier 2 (rank #13), and Yuumi craters to Tier 4. "Protect the carry" enchanter comps just lost a lot of their edge. 📉
If you want to climb support right now, go tank. Check the full LoL Patch 26.11 Notes for the item rework details.
Smolder got his scaling crit reduced, dropping him from dominant S tier to a more grounded A/B tier position. He's still Tier 1 rank #3 by win rate, but expect that number to fall as the patch data stabilizes.
Brand also picked up a base armor nerf (27 to 24). His laning phase is noticeably weaker in the early game, which matters a lot for a champion that relies on snowballing kills.
For the safest ADC climb right now: Ashe (#1), Kog'Maw (54% win rate), and Jinx (#5) are all clean Tier 1 picks. You can track the full ADC tier list live on Amber.gg's LoL meta page.
Diana gets a 40% boost to monster damage, directly improving jungle clear speed and early efficiency. She's sitting at Tier 3 rank #22 right now, but she'll keep climbing as players adapt. Diana is a real A tier threat this patch. 🔥
Ekko is the bigger story in jungle. His passive cooldown buff (5s to 4s) is compensation after item reworks, and it's working: Ekko jumped from rank #30 to rank #13 in jungle, landing firmly in Tier 2. If you're a flex player, jungle Ekko is worth picking up.
Quinn also gets improved monster damage this patch, making her a newly viable jungle option to watch. She's still settling in, but the tools are there.
Lee Sin (#1) and Nocturne (#2) remain the undisputed jungle kings regardless of the patch.
Kassadin picks up Q cooldown and W damage buffs, pushing him into a stronger position. He's Tier 3 rank #38 in mid right now, but the buffs give him a steadier scaling curve through the mid game.

Ekko in mid tells a different story. The item rework hurt him more than the passive buff helped, and he dropped from rank #16 to rank #27. He's still playable but no longer the dominant flex pick he was last patch.
Top of the mid lane tier list remains unchanged: Fizz (#1, 53% WR), Vladimir (#2, 53% WR), and Ahri (#3, 51% WR) are all Tier 1 locks. Compare with the LoL Patch 26.10 Tier List to see how much has shifted.
Top lane is the most stable role this patch. Sion holds Tier 1 at rank #1 (52% WR), Malphite sits at rank #2, and Shen rounds out the top 3. All three fit perfectly into the tank-heavy meta taking over bot lane.
Mordekaiser continues to struggle at rank #55 (46% WR). The compounding nerfs leave him without a clear identity right now. Skip him until Riot addresses his kit directly.
Here's the fast summary:
The support meta shift means engage-heavy comps are more rewarding than ever. If this has you ready to put real stakes on your games, join a ranked LoL ladder on Amber.gg. The LoL Dev Update May 2026 also covers where the season is heading if you want the bigger picture.
