Overview

Editor's pick · most-quoted
Some good nerfs or buffs in this patch, but also my perception of the meta has slightly improved as I've been grinding ranked a lot. So, let's get right into it. So, on the last tier list, I actually did not put any Baron laners into God tier, but after further testing, K'Sante is just so insane, man. He's such a good blind pick. He's pretty much good in every situation.
