LoL Champions with the Highest Win Rate
The 10 champions with the best win rates this patch, based on Emerald+ ranked data.
Rammus
Jungle · 55.7% win rateA low ban-priority tank whose kit — taunt, armor stacking, damage reflection — counters the current jungle meta hard, and most players simply don't know the matchup yet.
Karthus
Bot · 55.1% win rateA ranged mage bot lane pick that spikes hard whenever melee-heavy compositions are common, punishing them from max range with almost no risk.
Gwen
Mid · 54.4% win rateTrue damage shreds through tanky targets that would otherwise wall off other mid laners, making her a strong duelist into the current top-tier picks.
Taric
Support · 54.2% win rateScales well with almost any ADC and needs very little lane synergy to be effective, making him a consistently safe, high-win-rate pick.
Xerath
Bot · 54% win rateLong-range poke punishes melee-heavy lane opponents hard before they can ever close the distance.
Braum
Support · 53.9% win rateA forgiving peel-and-engage kit that scales well with positioning rather than mechanical skill, making him easy to win with even off-role.
Darius
Jungle · 53.8% win rateSnowballs extremely hard once his bleed stacks apply, making him a strong early skirmisher who punishes any contested objective fight.
Nasus
Top · 53.3% win rateHis stacking Q scales infinitely through the laning phase, turning him into a nearly unkillable win condition by the late game.
Briar
Jungle · 53.2% win rateAggressive early clear speed and strong dueling potential let her snowball leads that most junglers can't contest early.
Malphite
Top · 53.1% win rateA tanky, teamfight-ending ultimate with very low execution requirements — hard to punish even when played imperfectly.

Why High Win Rate Doesn't Always Mean "Best Pick"
High win rate doesn't always mean high pick rate. Champions like Rammus and Karthus often have a smaller, dedicated player base — their win rate reflects players who specifically know the matchup, not necessarily how strong they'd be for an average player.
FAQ: Highest Win Rate Champion Questions
Does win rate change every patch?
Yes — win rates shift with balance patches, item changes, and the broader meta. A top-10 champion this patch can fall out of it after a single nerf.
Are these win rates the same at every rank?
No — win rates can vary noticeably between low elo and high elo. This data reflects Emerald+ ranked games specifically.
