Quick note: Champion difficulty is decided using multiple factors, including how hard they are to play, playstyle in certain roles, and the opposition they’re taking on. Basically, the same champ might have different levels of difficulty depending on position.

Blitz Esports LoL why the desktop is not working in PH Server?... I can't use it
PH unfortunately blocks all outside services and we're hosted in the US. Until we can get a server inside the Philippines we won't be able to give you access
Hey man you didn't talk about the INSANE Viktor buff. It BREAKS midlane meta. He's so strong now. :=^)
Is gold funneling still viable in this patch ?
how about vietnam sever
Bruiser Fizz won't return because his old W used to have missing health % damage, which this new one doesn't. It scales off AP and won't really do much without an AP build.
First time watching one of your videos and this is quality content and explanation.
could you add a "counterpick to S tier champs" screen? just show like the best counter for each S Tier champ for 1-2s and everyone who is interested can pause there. Great content and very fast! Thank you!
when are you guys going to have a mac version for your desktop app?
Josh Rohlinger i want that
Are champion difficulty and tier lists on the desktop app?
Can you explain a bit about zilean, both as supp and mid? I've seen him at high tiers a lot, but I never really understood why he is there, nor saw him at ranked
Your blitz app is AMAZING btw!Took me from B2 to S4 in a week
Bruiser fizz was my main when it was still viable and this patch made me so happy
what are the best items for vayne this patch?
Can you update aatrox lanerate ? Its still the same and is now the new aatrox and the old together .
what about ekko jungle? didnt see it on there, but ive played it and seen it played, and i think its ptetty good.
What is best champ to climb to dia from plat?
Hi blitz could u guys consider on making the app available for singapore malaysia server? It would be so helpful for me
why does fizz have a normal difficulty in the beginning of the video, but a hard on the actual tier list?
We put him Normal in top lane since his matchups should be pretty doable, he's hard in mid. See our pinned comment about champ difficulties
Oh i see, didn't realize the top part of that section, just the "bruiser"
When will Blitz.gg be available here in the Philippines (PH Garena server). I know there's a note saying it doesn't allow it here, but when could it possibly be?
We need to get a server inside the Philippines because every outside service is blocked, so it will take a while
Will you have any update regarding the matter? What's the estimated time? :c Can't wait to use the app though!
I really love how you refer to kindred as "them"
wait is that all for ahri? Just a slight extension to her E? could she have a touch more Attack Damage please? Or something.
Just wondering. Any soraka player here? Do you guys prefer maxing W or E first? I personally max E before I hit lv 6 and then W afterwards. Just curious abt other Soraka player
Marsha Richir Max E , the damage is pretty high and theres no cast time and enemies are silenced , thats the best way to go so yeah youre doing great , I main her too as supp.
Is jungle fizz working again ?
I really like that you respond to all comments.
We try our best!
Yall didn't mention Velkoz's .2 ap buff on q. That's an insanely strong buff.
I have a question. The tiers are based on players that don't main those champions right? Ryze is good if you're a main
The point of the tier list is for players to have an idea of what is strong or not in solo queue and potentially look to pick champions up. You could already be maining what is a C tier champ and do super well with it cause it's your main. Experience and familiarty can beat flavor of the month
How much do you think the rakan nerfs will affect him
Can the your app work on oh server
Do u guys have a mobile app?
Why is velkoz low?
for me malzahar is my go to midlaner atm (there's to much assassin midlaners popping out lately)
Its just too satisfying to watch assassins all in you on your tower then just let your *R* do its magic. Well, typically in solo queue they don't usually build the cleanse item early on or sometimes they dont build it. (forgot the name of the item LuL).
Song name?
I don't hate this meta because ADCs are bad, I hate this meta because winning is usually a stomp.
Riot must’ve seen Mickey’s Talon against Clutch and said enough was enough
What is making Zilean such a high tier support in this patch?
why syndra is on tier c ?
1:35
This is wrong, the cooldown doesn't start until the auto attack buff is over.
3:25 Nice stars ASol...
Where is blitz in supp ?
does eceryone forget velkoz?
What do you think about the state of Irelia now? Shes down below 48% winrate in toplane and midlane. The steraks change seems to have hit her really hard.
She's still good. Sterak's change alongside the passive change really hit her hard but she's still fine in the mid lane. Struggles a bit more top lane because other bruisers just have better stats
I'm confused: the Aatrox "nerf's" were actually more like buffs. Yes he lost some stats, but his late game was buffed a shit ton. If they wanted to nerf him, they should have tuned down his sustain and not just nerf is early and buff his late.
They nerfed his early game but buffed his mid/late which does make sense as his performance fell off a cliff as the game went on. Do agree they should've tackled his sustain because his lane is just too easy right now
Aatrox actually got buffed... the damage nerf on q is insignificant because he already won lane against everything so the best it could do is enable slightly more counterplay, but that is irrelevant when looking at the buffs to his mid-late game. Since Aatrox maxes his E second, he is now so much more mobile = more Q procs = more damage overall.
When is the blitz app getting to mac
Juan Cedeno prob never not worth doing that for few ppl with Mac
I very much enjoy you application on the pc nice to know u guys make videos too
On the app tho I wish it would tell me a little more of what I did wrong per other than solo killed once to improve how I play
I cheese pretty hard with Quinn Jg, her lvl2 gank is so strong and almost garantee a kill if starts red. After lvl6 you go with mobility boots to fast travel to all lanes and cheese with the combo. She can already one shot adc with only Dustblade around lvl 7 and her mobility allows her to quick reposition herself during the fight for picking out enemy main damage dealer. Also during Jungle phase shes despite not a safe jungler but she can invade pretty hard with the passive and also her E is a knockback ability
Maayerr I main quinn but I usually use her top , I have played 100+ games with 87% winrate but I was not sure about her jungle now because all the dominance of other junglers maybe thanks to you Ill use her again at the jungle...snowballing its pretty important still apparently.
was Shen’s early really that significant for that nerf to make him drop a whole tier?
No Elise mention :(
What about Rek Sai, was her buff not good enough?
The video only goes around the highlights. Rek'Sai's situation is not that bad, given that she received scaling on 3 of her skills, but the video preferred to cover Kindred's ascension to God Tier for being more relevant in the metagame.
True
You forgot pantheon. With the recent buff he is an A tier jungler in my opinion.
One question why is ornn a c tier yet I see it in many tournament
He was already performing very poorly and got a nerf on top of it on 8.13. He just gets rolled in lane. Pro play is a more controlled environment with less action early where he can get his items and get to the teamfighting stage where his ult is an extremely powerful tool
Best league content I've seen in ages
What about the velkoz q ap ratio buff
We think he's pretty good, not sure how good. You might have noticed we added him as a bot carry and some players are already picking him up
Why is Asol considered “normal?”
He was supposed to be in Hard, mistake on our side
Blitz is amazing. I was skeptical at first, but it’s actually so useful
i am singed main, i found singed is quite difficult to win during laning phase since 8.12, (you cans still roam to win other lane, a good TP bot can world saving)
Still viable to win a game, but really not "dominated god tier" top in my opinion,
what is your thought on keep singed in GOD TIER?
Just wonder , no offense.
Singed's power comes after the laning phase. He statistically falls behind in gold to a bunch of champions in the top lane but has strong 1-2 item spikes that allow him to then participate in skirmishes and teamfights. The Dark Seal/Corrupting pot stacking allows him to get through harder lanes and then get to mid game barely unscathed and he's relatively simple to play at a good enough level.
Your app looks so good, too bad it can't be used in the philippines
Your tierlist is actually so much better than mobalytics
Wont be so.sure
Could you explain why you say that?
i agree, this tier list is more believable, not like in mobalytics god tier tf and rengar,im not saying they r bad but c mon, that maybe true for his elo/region, but im in plat in euw and if u blind pick tf mid u going to int
Banana you do realise that tf is the safest blindpick midlander right? And that he is the god of soloQ because of his global Influence right?
yeah and enemy picks fizz, zed and you're fucked
6:25
be honest, you said no just because his name "xxyasuo4lifexx" nad he is main yasuo
I think brand is at least A-God tier support, he does huge damage with no items and basically can easily outtrade enemy bot lane easiy. Of course he requires some skill shots but its also why hes good.
So you're telling me Lux is the same difficulty as Aurelion Sol?
Quality content!
How about Mid Kled?
Pretty much Abusing him atm for freelo
i feel like mid kled is semi-cheese and feels strong mainly cos mid laners haven't faced him before, so they're unsure about his kit. eventually, people will figure out how to tether him and his ability timings, so they will zone kled off of cs.
Definitely strong and his all in with Ignite is really good. He'd probably land in A or maybe B, we didn't place him because there is very limited data on him as a mid laner
Ya my Jinx and Twitch thank god
Is Heimerdinger still meta adc?
Yes, we have him at A but forgot to include him in the video. He's in our tier list in the app!
Thanks for fast answer. I love your app and I think to it's best.
Are you not gonna talk about the new cursor?
Teleport 6 minutes ;_;
Any yasuo changes?
how tf were those aatrox changes nerfs?
Ryan Bowling nerf to his early game, buff to his mid/late
What makes zilean god Tier support?
Zilean is a champion that is very useful in all situations despite the fact that he has a lot of skill expression in his kit. He is also very safe after a few levels with his E+W to either slow opponents or run away himself. Since there's a lot of fighting constantly in soloQ, his lane priority with bombs is very useful and he gets a lot of rotations of double bombs off and together with his ult he turns a lot of lost fights into a winning one. Over all he is just very useful in every situation of the game
Blitz Esports LoL thanks for the reply!
Blitz can u maoe that blitz app available for garena lol
The app is available in Garena.
What is this bull nerfs e by like 4 sec early and he's a tier, he's clearly s tear it's like a zoe. 02
blitz gg dont work in ph , sad
Use op.gg
charlie galavo from ph
KindomFF like he said just use op.gg its available at all regions
I question why Zoe, Azir, and Kat aren't in the "Intense" category when Camille is. I do agree that Camille requires skill, but I think the other 3 have very high skillcaps as well
zoe and azir are generally safer than camille, who has to all-in with her E. kat can dash in and out as long as you know your reset timings. if you miss your E stun with camille, you're basically stuck in no man's land.
Also ASol and Velkoz are „normal“ LMAO that’s so wrong
Difficulty depends not only on the mechanical skill needed to perform with them but also how they play out in their lane against the competition in the meta.
No Heimerdinger in bot tier list?
a sol is normal?
He was supposed to be listed as Hard, our bad!
I am VERY curious as to why you put Diana in B tier for Mid lane, especially ABOVE a lot of the other mages in there, notably Veigar, Brand, and Syndra, all of whom I feel have far more presence than a Diana in any point of the game, but most specifically in team fights... As a Diana main for 5 years in high plat, I've never had a more frustrating or difficult time to play the game than season 8. She hasn't been directly nerfed, but several indirect nerfs to items and summoner spells have forced me to leave her on the shelf until a patch can fix her place.
A great reference would be Arcsecond's most recent video, "What happened to Diana?", I think it would be very enlightening to you guys.
TL;DR, Diana belongs in C tier mid or lower.
I think fizz should be “A” tier. This is the only list that I have seen where he is lower then A
I personally think that xayah should be up in god tier now
Why is ASol so good right now? What (in this meta at least) makes him God tier?
Every mage got their waveclear nerfed because of changes to Doran's Ring, Tear and Lost Chapter. ASOL is super good at shoving and roaming to impact side lanes while he leaves his opponent stuck under turret
how is Kled God Tier? as a Kled main i am very happy but im curious as to the reasoning
he win all trades
I have mixed feelings about the Aatrox ranking, most other tier lists and the dive believe these changes were a buff and that he is the most broken champion in the game yet you guys are the only people saying that these changes were a nerf and that he's only A tier. I was just wondering if you had Challenger level players who agree with these rankings and people who test out the champions nerfs and buffs.
Firstly, that's a podcast mainly aimed at talking about pro play. For pro play he is undoubtedly top tier. It's a small nerf to his early game but a buff to his mid/late (E lower CD at rank 5, R AD scaling buff) which make sense given his performance fell off a cliff post 20-25 mins.
We moved him from C (pre 2 hotfixes) to A, didn't want to move him into god tier without seeing more of him but we were on the fence between both tiers and yes, Treatz is a multi season challenger player
I don't like playing bruiser Fizz
ONLY ASSASSIN
Fizz is hot garbage this patch. He received huge damage nerfs to his W (no longer stacks up and pops doing burst) and didnt get it back anywhere. Hes weak and the 43% winrate reflects this.
Good
Why isn't Heimerdinger in adc?
We unfortunately forgot to put him in in bot lane, he's A tier
Wukong doesn’t need nerfs And Blitz make a mac app already!!!!
I really don't like the Fizz W change. I hit like a wet noodle now.
wow look at that, ADC's are already back.
I cant agree for Kindred to be in a GOD tier... and Rengar in B tier...
Lol...these crit adc buffs...
Now the flies have handguns...
At least they hit harder and can get their two item power spikes semi-early...
Still blows up easily against bruisers and AP mages...
How Udyr is God Tier?
Udyr has a decently high pickrate, performing well for several patches across multiple tiers and he's super easy to play. As you get higher he's harder to play as he can be easy to kite.
Tiers should apply to all ranks, not only to low ranks: "As you get higher he's harder to play" not only harder but outperformed by other picks.
Maybe he could be God Tier when Utilidyr was posible, or when Sated Devourer exist. When the Phoenix stance gave him a good amount of aoe to clean camps easily while keeping a good dmg on teamfights, triggering the phoenix effect every 2 attacks.
Now his mobility only lies in Water Walking/Celerity plus Bear stance dash that only is active for 2-3 seconds while not achieving a good ammount of MS at early game.
Cleaning camp is less efffective since the meta is tiger, the single target damage stance.
And yeah, I agree that Udyr is pretty easy to play due his skill kit is so basic (Season 1 kind, maybe that's why he is so easy to kite and bc his lack of MS). But That could be outperformed with newer junglers with useful and advanced spell kits.
Really miss when you could be a feared jungler that was being everywhere with a sick MS.
Tiers apply to ALL ranks, we weigh every tier in. Udyr is performing well in lower tiers and still doing fairly well in higher tiers. If you don't agree with the placing that's fine, but we see no reason to move him from God Tier.
Aurelion Sol shouldn't be rated Normal.. his kit is deceptively hard to master.
Your app is good
Viktor :(
Ezreal?
Why is zed in A tier? I don't think hes that strong rn tbh.
Bob Bob he is if you know what your doing but it takes skill
the tier list is about soloq, and zed is still really good in most soloq games as long as the player is competent.
If we're talking about all elos then sure, hes fine. But in high elo he is garbage and it can be hard to make him work in master/challenger when you're versing players who know how to deal with zed. Many high elo players have even said he is bad rn.
we are talking about all elos. If we were to make a different list for lower and higher elos the tier lists would be very different.
lol aatrox nerfs werent even nerfs tho. Literally buffed his late game with lower cds and loss an auto attack of hp. cool n fun game
When you talk about an item. I prefer to actually see it in the video.
wheres patheon on the jungle tier list. he should be borderline A tier.
Jin Jhao
Why Soraka and Nami are GOD tier now?
Haha! Jokes on these buffs, i was playing Jinx anyways!
Cassiopeia why... PepeHands
