GamerPapers data: patch 26.21, EUW server, 16,552 ranked matches

Ban rate is champion-wide. If the same champion is played in another role, that row shows the same value.

Some bot lane rows belong to non-marksman picks: Karthus (324 games), Yasuo (590 games), Hwei (311 games). We keep them in the table but feature classic marksmen below.

Three standout picks: runes, items and matchups

This section only covers champions with 500+ games. For matchups we require at least 50 games.

Jhin: bot lane (ADC)

Its ban rate is 1.9%; that figure is champion-wide, not role-specific. In patch 26.20 it was A tier over 357 games. The win rate change is +3.5 pts. Average KDA is 2.93.

Among matchups with 50+ games, Jhin does best against Lucian (97 games, 56.7%), Caitlyn (195 games, 56.4%), Zeri (100 games, 56.0%). Its hardest matchups (50+ games) are Draven (100 games, 47.0%), Yunara (205 games, 48.3%), Jinx (161 games, 48.4%).

The rest of the list

Other top-10 picks with 500+ games: Yasuo (S, 51.5%, 590 games); Xayah (S, 52.4%, 1,175 games); Sivir (S, 53.2%, 656 games); Yunara (A, 49.7%, 2,060 games); Jinx (A, 50.6%, 1,573 games).

Karthus and Hwei also make the list but have fewer than 500 games (Karthus: 324, Hwei: 311). So we do not feature them.

The changes below come from Riot Games patch 26.21 notes. In brackets: this role's EUW data, meaning tier, win rate, change from the previous patch (only when 26.20 had 200+ games) and games.

• Jinx: AD per level and base health were cut. (S+ → A, 50.6%, -5.4 pts, 1,573 games)

We cover the biggest moves in our risers and fallers article. Even when a change and the data point the same way, we do not claim it is the only cause.

Data and method

Mixed sample: ranked solo/duo matches from the EUW server only. They come from EUW Challenger/Grandmaster players collected by GamerPapers, plus matches of player profiles looked up on the site (all ranks). It is not a random sample of the server and not pro-play data.

The numbers in this article come from 16,552 ranked solo/duo games. Lists include champion and role pairs with at least 200 games. Pairs under 500 games carry a "small sample, read with caution" note in the tables. We do not feature them in the title or the intro.

Ban rate is champion-wide, not per role: bans happen before roles are assigned, so every role row of a champion shows the same value.

Comparisons with the previous patch refer to 26.20. Its EUW sample was only 1,829 games, so we only show a previous tier when a pick had 200+ games in 26.20. The game client shows this patch as 16.21; Riot's official name is 26.21.

For the full live table, see the GamerPapers LoL stats page. Patch changes are sourced from Riot Games patch 26.21 notes.

Last updated: October 31, 2026, 06:54 UTC (when the data was calculated). Sample: 16,552 ranked EUW matches.
