How we rank

We weighed lane and objective control, team fight impact, scaling, and how forgiving each hero is to play. When two sources disagree, we use the majority view, and heroes that appear in only one source keep that source's placement. Tiers shift with every balance patch, so treat this as a starting point.

Tier by tier

S Tier, the meta

  • Augran: Top jungle and clash pick, stands alone in the jungle
  • Dolia: Roam S tier in both sources, strong peel and engage
  • Angela: Mid mage with reliable burst and pick potential
  • Hou Yi: Safe-scaling marksman, top farm lane pick
  • Luban No.7: Dependable farm lane damage with strong team fights
  • Florentino: Leads the clash lane in the latest ranked data

A Tier, excellent

  • Ao'yin: Farm lane marksman ranked S in the August list
  • Daji: Mid mage that is S in one source, B in the other
  • Li Xin: Top clash lane duelist with team fight value
  • Lam: Strong jungle assassin, a step below the top
  • Marco Polo: Consistent farm lane marksman in both sources
  • Wukong: Solid jungle assassin, A in both lists
  • Kaizer: Reliable clash lane bruiser and jungle option
  • Milady: Mid mage with strong pick potential
  • Donghuang: Tanky roamer or clash pick with steady crowd control
  • Cai Yan: Roamer with good control, rated S in one list
  • Mozi: Flexible mid or roam pick

B Tier, solid

  • Heino: Mid mage whose rating swings between sources
  • Lady Zhen: Mid pick that needs more setup than top mages
  • Arthur: Sturdy clash lane fighter, fine in the jungle
  • Dun: Frontline roamer, good but not top priority
  • Liang: Mid support style mage, mixed ratings
  • Lu Bu: Strong dueler but easy to counter

C Tier, situational

  • Zhou Yu: Mid mage that falls behind current picks
  • Guan Yu: Clash bruiser that is only situational now
  • Nezha: Clash lane pick that struggles into top heroes
  • Yang Jian: Clash fighter with limited impact right now

D Tier, skip
