Patch 12.1 SoloQ Botlane tierlist

So not really alot of champions got directly changed during the patches in preseason, but alot of changes in general happend that are worth talking about.

Shieldbow + wits made you super tanky, they changed it a bit, in early game wits end isnt as tanky as it used to cus null magic instead of negatron cloak, and also when completed, still a good item but not as good of a rush item. You should still buy shieldbow in games where you need it, its just not a every game item onc hamps like aphelios for example.

With those 2 items being nerfed and people playing caitlyn again vayne should be a bit weaker, she is still very strong vs the bruisers topside but has worse matchups bot now, also people are playing lux support which means more cait type of lanes which vayne dont like.

Jinx didnt use the items that got nerfed and she does well vs the meta botlanes ( only one that can be a bit annoying is liek caitlyn or 2x range poke botlanes but even caitlyn lanes can be jinx favored if sup matchup is good ) so she goes up a tier.

People like to say that bully botlanes are stronger cus of TP changes, and sure it helps but i wouldnt say that caitlyn lux is meta because of TP changes, its a nice factor yes but in most soloq games you got tped on 1 time, and even thats rare tbh.

Aphelios down a tier, because of the more mage supports like lux being played his laning phase is alot harder, and for a hyper carry thats really bad. also his items wits end shieldbow is nerfed

Tristana down a tier, bad vs lux, bad vs caitlyn
Xayah down a tier, bad vs cait jhin jinx.

green = easy | blue = medium | red = hard


Patch 12.1 SoloQ Botlane tierlist

Conq vs First strike on ezreal? I imagine conq is still better but see a good bit of first strike so just curious

No xerath for mages?

yes, no real mechanics except for his Q bounce long range, good mobility compared to other "immobile" champs very forgiving laning phase ( fleet, boots 4 pots )

Is Jhin actaully easy? I've been reluctant to pick him up in my pool because I was thinking he'd be pretty hard to learn but he seems pretty fun.

yes but its a worse seraphine lux unless u want early lane control

Veigar v2

not a very good champ atm. terrible lane and champs she likes to be on team with like naut, nocturne, akali etc isnt very godo atm

Veigar v2

in competitive where would stand kaisa :)? on your opinion veigar?

Contra

Is Karma as a botlaner an possible option? (Either enchanter or AP build)

Playmaker1500

Is karthus ad a good blind pick choice?

tmrw!

Veigar v2

too reliant on support matchup and her support champ in general, when paired with mages she is bad unless they can 1v2 lane

Veigar v2

Hopefully support list out today too :( , got happy when readed "botlane tierlist"

Thanks veigar, I agree with where you put kaisa, but would like to know your opinion on her
