The Best Champions to Play in the Current Meta
As the League of Legends meta evolves and Riot Games makes regular adjustments, certain champions rise in popularity and viability while others fall. For Patch 13.18, a professional player has identified the top support picks for solo queue in the current meta.
Erik “Treatz” Wessén, a professional League player, has named Senna, Rakan, Rell, Alistar, Blitzcrank, and Soraka as god-tier supports to play in solo queue in Patch 13.18. These champions are expected to remain strong even in the upcoming Worlds Patch 13.19.
Patch 13.18 was released on September 13, introducing the new champion Briar and various buffs and nerfs. As with every patch, the best champions for each role may shift slightly or significantly.
The God-Tier Supports for Solo Queue
According to Treatz, Senna has become a top support pick due to recent buffs. Her damage has been increased, and her W ability now grants AoE souls if multiple targets are hit, making her damage output incredibly high. Treatz considers her the strongest champion in this patch if played well.
Despite receiving nerfs, Rell remains a viable tanky support option. Her rework has made her too good to ignore in the bot lane.
Counter-Picking and Synergy
While the suggested tier list provides strong support options, it’s important to consider counter-picking and synergy with your ADC. Blindly picking a champion without considering these factors may not yield the best results.
However, playing a top-tier support champion should make your experience on the Rift more enjoyable. Senna, in particular, synergizes well with Jhin, Sivir, and Ashe in this patch.
Yuumi’s Plight
As many suspected, Yuumi is placed in a tier far below the others. Treatz did not even assign a color to Yuumi on his tier list. This analysis is supported by statistics, as Yuumi currently holds the lowest win rate among all supports in Patch 13.18 according to U.GG.
Conclusion
Versatility is crucial in League of Legends, so it’s worth trying out some of the top support picks in this patch. Dominate your opponents on the Rift by selecting champions that best suit your playstyle and synergize with your ADC.
