The Wild Rift 6.1 patch has shaken the meta to its core, and according to Rank 1 player Royal, there’s never been a better time to talk tier lists. From mage domination in mid lane, to the rise of Sona + Seraphine bot lanes, this patch has drastically shifted what’s strong—and what’s struggling. Whether you’re climbing ranked or just want to stay ahead of the curve, here’s the complete breakdown of the top picks per role, straight from the best.

Baron Lane: Wukong, Rumble, and Ornn Reign Supreme

Despite the massive patch shakeup, Baron lane stayed relatively stable. Wukong, Rumble, and Ornn lead the pack in God Tier, each offering something unique:

  • Wukong: Bruiser that can solo carry games.
  • Rumble: AP threat with amazing zone control.
  • Ornn: Tanky utility powerhouse with teamfight impact.

Other Key Notes:

  • Teemo climbs to S tier thanks to movement speed buffs and his anti-dive tools.
  • Irelia gets bumped from B to A tier after buffs.
  • Volibear becomes an oppressive force, abusing turret disable mechanics.
  • Malphite, despite his tanky presence, drops due to the overwhelming strength of mages.
  • Jace and Akali find themselves struggling in B tier—just not enough presence.

Jungle: Wukong and Amumu Continue to Dominate

Jungle hasn’t changed much in terms of who’s king of the hill:

  • Wukong and Amumu are still God Tier.
  • Amumu’s synergy with mages makes him even stronger this patch.

S Tier Jungle Champions:

  • Zed, Lillia, Graves, Nilah, Warwick — all high damage, scaling threats.
  • Warwick is a sleeper pick that’s getting stronger every patch.

A Tier Junglers:

Still good, but falling behind in the scaling meta. Farming junglers have trouble keeping up with the carry potential of S tier picks.

Mid Lane: Mages Are the New Kings

This is where Patch 6.1 hit the hardestmages are now dominating mid lane.

God Tier:

  • Ryze: New champion with insane damage and unmatched wave clear. Ult lets him dodge bad matchups and roam like a monster.
  • Kassadin: Completely counters the mage meta. His mobility, scaling, and magic resist let him thrive.

S Tier Mages:

  • Annie with Malignance: Low-cooldown nukes and big burst potential.
  • Orianna, Syndra, Ziggs: Benefit from movement speed and buffed poke. Ziggs is especially terrifying.

A Tier:

  • Champions like Zed, Corki, and Galio are solid, but can’t keep up with top-tier mage damage.
  • Mage bot lane picks like Orianna and Ziggs are starting to shift roles, creating room for AD mid laners in a 1-3-1 setup.

C Tier:

  • Katarina, Talon, and Diana can’t keep up in terms of one-shot potential.
  • Lucian and Yone just feel underwhelming compared to everything else mid lane offers.

ADC: Corki on Top, But Mages Might Be Better

ADC tier list sees Corki rise as the best carry in Wild Rift right now.

S Tier:

  • Varus, Sivir, Miss Fortune, Ezreal — all remain powerful picks with scaling and utility.

A Tier:

  • Jinx, Kai’Sa, and Zaya gain value from shield-heavy support meta.
  • Still viable, but need good matchups and proper support pairing.

Special Note:

  • Vayne + Lulu can be god tier, but Vayne falls fast without strong enchanters like Lulu, Yuumi, or Milio.
  • Mage bot lanes are meta. Ziggs, Orianna, and Morgana bot lane with Senna support can outperform most ADCs.
  • Best strategy? Run mages in bot lane and let AD champs like Zed or Irelia dominate mid lane.

Support: Enchanters Win the Patch

Biggest surprise of the patch? Sona + Seraphine bot lane is absolutely busted.

Why?

  • Ionian Boots buff gives them infinite mana + cooldown reduction.
  • They can skip Tear and go straight into high-impact items like Ardent Censer and Harmonic Echo.
  • Combine the two and you’ve got unbelievable sustain and teamfight presence.

God Tier:

  • Sona, Seraphine, and Blitzcrank (as their main counter).
  • Blitz remains the go-to pick to punish squishy enchanters.

S Tier:

  • Lulu, Karma, Milio, Janna, Zyra — all benefit from the buffed support meta.
  • Zyra is especially scary as an AP support that can delete careless enchanters.

A Tier:

  • Thresh, Braum, and Lux are solid situational picks.
  • Braum excels against tanks but struggles into shield-heavy comps.

B Tier:

  • Leona, Nautilus, Swain and other engage-heavy tanks are struggling.
  • These champs lack the burst to cut through enchanter shields and often get outscaled in longer fights.

Meta Summary: Play Smart, Play Mage

Patch 6.1 has made one thing clear: mages are thriving. Whether it’s mid, bot, or support—magic damage rules the Rift. If you’re stuck in ranked and not climbing, you’re probably not adapting to this shift. Here’s how to dominate:

  • Pick mages in mid AND bot.
  • Use champions like Ryze and Ziggs for maximum map impact.
  • Run enchanters with CDR boots to turn every fight in your favor.
