Patch 16.14, 16.15, 16.16, 16.1748 of 163 champions47,705 matches analyzed

The current Bot tier list for Master+ identifies Aphelios as the premier S-tier selection with a dominant 56.4% win rate. Yunara follows in Tier A with a 50.4% win rate, while high-presence champions like Varus, Kaisa, and Caitlyn currently occupy Tier B. This hierarchy is based on data from 3,951 matches with an average win rate of 45.09% across the list.

Aphelios is the highest-performing champion among the top picks, boasting a significant 56.4% win rate. Yunara also performs well above the average with a 50.4% win rate in Master+ games. In contrast, other popular picks like Kaisa, Caitlyn, and Varus are struggling with win rates below 49%.

Varus and Yunara are frequently picked at 16.0% and 14.6% respectively, suggesting they are versatile options in the current meta. However, Varus is banned in 33.3% of games, so Yunara may be a more reliable blind pick due to her lower 4.9% ban rate. Aphelios is extremely strong but his 11.0% ban rate and 12.3% pick rate make him harder to secure.

Aphelios is currently the standout performer on this patch, achieving S-tier status through his high 56.4% win rate. Yunara remains a Tier A powerhouse by maintaining a positive win rate despite being picked in 14.6% of matches. Most other popular champions like Varus and Caitlyn are seeing high play rates but are struggling to find consistent success, keeping them in Tier B.

You should review your pool frequently as the Master+ meta is highly volatile, evidenced by only two of the top five picks having a win rate above 50%. Since Varus has a massive 33.3% ban rate despite a Tier B ranking, you must be ready to adapt when power picks are taken off the table. With 90 champions tracked, the landscape can shift quickly based on minor performance changes.

While the data focuses on high-presence champions, the fact that Tier S and A picks like Aphelios and Yunara outperform the most-picked champion, Varus, suggests quality matters more than popularity. Success in Master+ relies on high win rates rather than just following pick trends. If a champion has a low pick rate but a high win rate, they could be a potent niche choice.

Tier placements weigh win rate heavily, which is why Aphelios is Tier S despite not having the highest pick rate. High ban rates like Varus's 33.3% reflect champion frustration or perceived power, even if the win rate is lower at 46.3%. A combination of consistent wins and presence determines if a champion can climb from Tier B to Tier A or S.
