LoL patch 12.13 arrived on the official servers yesterday morning. Players feeling many changes in the new patch can't help asking about the new meta. It seems the balance changes in the new patch have turned all the balances upside down. Along with all these questions comes the question of whether the meta changed in the new patch 12.13. So we ranked the current LoL 12.13 meta champions that are playable in the new patch. Here are the LoL 12.13 meta champions we found for you!

Who Are the LoL 12.13 Meta Champions?
Top Lane
Shen
We hadn't seen Shen on any tier list for a long time. So we were surprised to see Shen in the S- tier after our research. Looking into why, we saw that Shen received a small update. After the update to his ultimate, it seems to have strengthened him a bit. Shen is already tailor-made for someone who knows how to play him. But now he greets us strengthened even for someone who plays the champion at an average level. If you don't get too aggressive in lane and calmly complete your laning phase, you can become a champion capable of carrying the game or, at worst, tanking all the damage.
Jungle
Nidalee

Nidalee's human-form W cost was reduced, the mana cost of E was reduced at later stages and its usage range was increased. In addition, the damage radius of Cougar W was increased. This doesn't mean much for players who don't know how to use both of Nidalee's forms efficiently, but Nidalee is an outstanding champion with crazy mobility and healing on Summoner's Rift. The fact that the cougar form's abilities are especially free of cost attracts many players. Human-form Nidalee's Q ability deals quite considerable damage from long distances. If you have aiming skill, picking this champion will work in your favor.
Mid Lane
Pyke

Now to the strongest mid lane champion in this patch. In patch 12.13 there is a champion that dominates quite a lot, especially in the mid lane. As you might guess, this champion is Pyke. If you haven't played Pyke in years or are seeing him for the first time, we definitely recommend staying away, because Pyke is an assassin champion and you need to practice on him. Just like Fizz, this champion needs to be played by people with good aim.
Now you may ask me why someone with good aim needs to play him. Or you might say, dear FireGhost, why are you questioning our aim in a game that isn't an FPS? You are quite right, but abilities like Pyke's Q and our champion Fizz's ultimate need to be thrown at the opponent with proper aim. If you miss these abilities, you are very likely to flip the fate of the game the opposite way. So if your aim is already good, you shouldn't miss these champions in the mid lane in LoL patch 12.13.
ADC
Jinx

Although Jinx hasn't changed in years, she manages to find a place in the meta. She is a champion who can deal more damage, and faster, than other marksmen. That is why we probably give her a place in the S- tier list. Although marksmen are generally not strong in the early game, that is, the early-game phase, they can have incredible power as the game goes on. That is why Jinx has found a place in the meta too.
Support
Blitzcrank

Blitzcrank is a champion that people who have improved their aim can play with his superior abilities. I'm not joking about aim at all. His Q ability can only be hit with great skill and great targeting. Even if it does something bad by pulling the opponent next to their marksman, a Q thrown from a proper position can change the course of the game a lot. So anyone who is going to pick this champion would do well to lock in their choice with such situations in mind.
