Best Items in League of Legends

Win rate and pick rate almost never point at the same item, so read both columns before you buy. The items topping the win column tend to be low-pick snowball buys, finished in games you were already winning. What gets bought most is usually whatever slots into nearly every build, which is a different question entirely from what wins hardest.

How to read these item tiers

A few habits that stop a tier list from picking your build for you.

01Sample size decides what a rate means476,946 games gradedA win rate built on a few hundred completions swings far harder than one built on tens of thousands, so check the games column before you trust a spike.
02Popular and strong are different columnsPlated Steelcaps 14.7% · B tierVolume tracks whatever slots into almost every build. How hard that item wins once it's finished is a separate question, and the board grades it separately.
03Tiers move with the patchPatch 26.22These grades come off the current patch only. One number change can slide a buy a full band. Check back before you lock in a build that carried you last patch.
