LoL Patch 12.15 Meta Champions: Best Picks by Role (August 2022)

LoL Patch 12.15 arrived on the official servers this morning. Players who have just gotten a new patch of course want to follow the new meta. But when they look into the new meta, they can't see anything fully clear yet. So we decided to list the champions with high pick rates and equally high win rates early on. If you are ready, let's move on to our new article that also covers the 12.15 meta. Here are the LoL 12.15 meta champions!

Who Are the LoL 12.15 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. When we looked into why, we found that Shen had received a small update. After the update to his ultimate, it seems to have made him a bit stronger. Shen is already tailor-made for someone who knows how to play him. But now he greets us even more buffed for someone who plays the champion at a normal level. If you don't get too aggressive in lane and calmly complete your laning phase, you will be able to carry the game or, at worst, tank all the damage.

Jungle

Nidalee

Nidalee's human W cost was reduced, E's mana cost was reduced at later ranks and its range was increased. Additionally, the damage radius of Cougar W was increased. Although this doesn't mean much for players who don't know how to use both of Nidalee's forms efficiently, Nidalee is an outstanding champion with crazy mobility and healing in Summoner's Rift. In particular, the fact that the abilities of the cougar version cost nothing attracts many players. Nidalee's Q ability in human form deals quite considerable damage from long range. If you have good aim, picking this champion will work in your favor.

Mid Lane

Pyke

Let's move on to the strongest mid lane champion of this patch. In Patch 12.15, there is a champion dominating especially in the mid lane. As you might guess, this champion is Pyke. If you haven't played Pyke for years or are seeing him for the first time, we strongly recommend staying away. Since Pyke is an assassin champion, you need to practice on him. This champion, just like Fizz, should be played by people with good aim.

Now you may ask me why people with good aim should 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 have to be thrown at the opponent with proper aiming. If you miss these abilities, it is very likely that you will turn the fate of the game the other way around. So if your aim is already good, you shouldn't miss these champions in the mid lane in LoL Patch 12.15.

ADC

Jhin

Jhin has become the choice of many people who need a fun and unique ADC to play. Although he is quite different from other ADCs, his long-range shots deal tons of damage to opposing champions. Sona will generally be a great choice as a support champion, since she can heal, attack and even stun with her ultimate. Those who like playing Jhin will love this patch. In this patch, Jhin appears as the number 1 meta champion among marksmen. If you can spend his bullets properly, your late-game victory will be inevitable for you.

Support

Blitzcrank

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