What You Will Find In The Higher Tiers: S – A – B
Some of the best ascension champions are Snowball heavy, such as Katarina and Master Yi. Along with some annoying ascension champion picks like Teemo, this is due to his mushrooms being so darn effective. However the strongest due to the swing in the meta, is Tank Ascension Champions. Its Currently the League of Tanks in this Ascension tier list, this is even more true when a tank champion gets hold of the ascended buff. They become almost unkillable, even more so unavoidable. Of coruse with every fun type of game mode, there are the healers who among the best ascension champions. Sona and taric fit this category really well, throw little leona in there for some hard catch.

The Best Ascension Team Composition

Team Composition also referred to as Team Comp, is the ideal selection of Champion Picks and Roles. Just like most Rotating Game Modes certain roles and champions are better equip for the game type. For example, an average of only one ADC can be found in our TOP 3 highest ranking tiers. What this tells us is that the Marksmen ADC role is very weak in the Ascension Game Mode.

Our recommendation for an Ideal Team Comp

1 Support Champions
1 Tank Champions
1-2 Assassin Champions
1-2 AP Damage Champions Champions

These are the highest win rate champions in Ascension organized by the lane they are normally played on in the 5v5 game mode.
