NEW Updated Tier List Patch 25.8: Stuck Lane

This segment highlights the stagnancy in the top lane and discusses the need for significant changes to shake up the meta, which many players are likely eager for.

So top lane is the one role where the meta has stayed pretty similar to where it was last patch. Our predictions going into the patch have played out quite well for top lane as neither Shen nor Renekton gained enough power from their buffs to move up, and then Gwen and Yorick did not end up losing very much power from their nerfs. Red man's plate nerf has also turned out rather negligible so it was a pretty useless patch overall in terms of shaking up the top lane meta. I don't know about you guys, but it would be really nice if Riot actually issued some meaningful changes that significantly shifted the meta because we've literally had Urgot and Kayle rated as two of the best picks for almost the entirety of the season.
