Overview

last updated 2026-05-26
Editor's pick · most-quoted
“The main issue is that now he gets a lot less gold from minions. So he can't snowball as effectively and as quickly as he previously could. So I think you're better off playing Taliyah or Ryze if you like that play style of uh easy crowd control to hit. I guess Taliyah's is not that easy to hit but crowd control and roaming potential, right? Aurelion Sol is also a great roamer if that's what you're looking But I think those are the main changes in the mid lane tier list.”

Commentary

verbatim creator quotes
royalhand-written· Patch 7.1d analysis (Royal)
patch 7.1d

Scope: This section reflects state as-of patch 7.1d per Royal. May be outdated for later patches — see top-level Tier history. "A lot of you have noticed a lot more Ryze in your games. Super OP in the Chinese server and this new patch has benefited him more than anything. He already has infinite mana with Tear and World of Ages, right? He doesn't really care about boots that much. So overall, Ryze has benefited." — [[Sources/videos/2026-05-04-royal-tier-list-7.1d|Royal, 7.1d tier list]] (04:04) Why he's GOD in 7.1d: Royal cites three converging factors: Tear/World of Ages mana stack gives him effectively infinite mana, so the mana economy of 7.1d doesn't constrain him. Boot changes don't punish Ryze — "he doesn't really care about boots that much." Where other champs need to skillfully outplay because rushing boots is no longer safe, Ryze sidesteps the constraint entirely. Cross-server signal: "Super OP in the Chinese server" — Royal treats CN-server prevalence as forward-indicator for global meta.

Mid "She has incredible roaming potential and she can really utilize it from mid. As she can just immediately wall and cut off the lane from the side lanes and immediately impact the map. Very similar to Ryze and to Twisted Fate who have actually both been nerfed in the last patch. Ryze still continues to be a very dominant pick and uh he's included in the S tier. So yeah, he's been slightly nerfed but he still continues to do Ryze things." (04:18) "The main issue is that now he gets a lot less gold from minions. So he can't snowball as effectively and as quickly as he previously could. So I think you're better off playing Taliyah or Ryze if you like that play style of uh easy crowd control to hit. I guess Taliyah's is not that easy to hit but crowd control and roaming potential, right? Aurelion Sol is also a great roamer if that's what you're looking But I think those are the main changes in the mid lane tier list." (05:01)
