LoL Champions 2022: Ranking The Newest Champion Releases
Which champion had the most impact in 2022?
Champions
Who is the worst champion in 2022 | © Riot Games
In 2022, we received five new champions in League of Legends. From those five champions, some were an instant hit, while other champs felt like a complete miss, which is why we’ve decided to rank all the 2022 Champion releases this year.
We’re going to look at all the champion releases from worst to best. Which champions were memorable and which ones could we go without, both in solo queue and when watching pro play?
- LoL Lunar Revel 2023 Event: Everything We Know
5. Zeri
Zeri was the worst champion released in 2022. Yes, she had a high presence in both solo queue and pro play, but was it always healthy? Not at all. She was overpowered from the get-go and no matter how Riot tweaked her she stayed OP and meta at all times. Seriously, was watching the LEC playoffs any fun when team just traded Sivir and Zeri back and forth?

With Zeri being so OP for a long time throughout season 12, Riot decided she had to be buried six feet under during the 2022 LoL World Championship, bringing her solo queue win rate down to 42%. Now they’re scrambling to try and fix her to make her a playable champion, but from the beginning Zeri seemed like nothing more than problems, thus making her the worst champion released in 2022.
4. Nilah
Nilah is the second-worst champion released in 2022. Not because she’s bad or unplayable… no she was just the most forgettable champion of the year. Seriously, thinking back to Season 12 and the champion releases, Nilah is the least thought about champion.
Nilah exists…? | © Riot Games
While Nilah does bring something new and unique to the bot lane, it wasn’t impactful enough to make players remember she exists. Also, if Yasuo or Yone mains want to play their champs in the bot lane… you know they’ll do just that and not pick Nilah who feels like Melee Samira… so while Nilah is cool, her lore, champion design and kit just didn’t seem to catch players interest.
3. K’Sante
K’Sante hasn’t had much time to shine and grow on the community yet. He was released in November 2022 and right after the season ended and players had to focus on the preseason 2023. So, there was no time for K’Sante to truly get going, which means timing of this champion release impact his rating in our tierlist.
He looks pretty epic though. | © Riot Games
K’Sante has made waves during the 2022 Demacia Cup as one of the key champions in the top lane, which gives us hope for him in pro play, but he feels like a pro-only champion with his win rate in solo queue just under 50%. He might fall into the ‘Gwen’ category where he’s good in pro play and for OTPs, but that’s about it.
2. Renata Glasc
Renata Glasc wasn’t the most anticipated or the most complex champion that was revealed this year, but she has had quite an impact on the game, in both solo queue and in pro play. She had her presence felt and was one of the best champions we got in the year.
Renata is a great champion and her kit is easy to master. She is fun to play because when you’re using Renata you’re the boss as the support in the bot lane. You call the shots with her abilities, making her a great new champion with a unique twist to the enchanter role.

1.
Bel’Veth
Bel’Veth was probably the most anticipated champion release all year. From the first teaser of LoL Season 12 we knew we would be getting a champion from the Void. Riot also teased her throughout the first half of the year. Bel’Veth’s trailer was also insane and had fans hyped for the brand-new jungle champion.

Overall, Bel’Veth had a pretty great champion release and was popular throughout the rest of the 2022 season, but we just wish Riot would have actually given us a lore event surrounding the Void and what comes next after the reveal of Bel’Veth. Seriously, it left us with blue balls and we want more.

So, while the event surrounding Bel’Veth wasn’t satisfying, she was the best champion release of the year, closely followed by Renata who also had quite an impact on League of Legends this year.

nine0002 Riot Games has revealed the details of the new season of League of Legends. The authors of MOBA talked about their plans for 2022 in a large-scale presentation on YouTube.
The event started with a trailer for the new season. The Call video showed the battles of Pantheon, Leona, Sejuani, Olaf and other characters to the track of 2WEI musicians, Louis Leibfried and Edda Hayes. nine0007
nine0002 The writers then talked about Zeri, whose trailer was released on January 7th. The heroine’s auto-attacks will be treated as spells. They can’t last hit minions or damage buildings, but they can apply special effects to champions. Immediately after the presentation, the list of character skills appeared on the official website. The champion will be added to the main servers in patch 12.2, which is scheduled for release on January 20, 2022.
nine0018 Zeri’s abilities
- Walking battery (passive skill) . The champion speeds up when he gains a shield. Attacking enemies with a shield steals the buff from them.
- Burst (Q) . Passive: Zeri’s auto attacks deal magic damage, scale with ability power, and count as skills. When moving and casting a skill, the champion accumulates charges, at the maximum number of which the next basic attack will slow the target and deal additional damage.
Active: The Champion fires a burst of seven projectiles that deal damage to the first enemy hit. The skill scales with attack power and counts as an auto attack, and the first shot applies item and rune effects on hit. The cooldown of the skill corresponds to Zeri’s auto-attack timer. nine0028 - Pulse discharge (W) . A targeted skill that slows the first enemy hit and deals damage. When fired through a wall, it turns into a long-range laser beam with the same effects.
- Wild Spark (E) . Dash for a short distance, which enhances the next three applications of Q. The skill allows you to jump over or fly around a piece of terrain. The cooldown of E is reduced for dealing damage to enemy champions. nine0028
- Short circuit (R) . Deals area damage around Zeri and gives her an overload effect. Under the effect of the buff, the heroine gains additional attack and movement speed, and Q hits with three projectiles instead of seven. Dealing damage to a champion extends the duration of the buff, and each basic attack triggers chain lightning.

Insider: Riot Games will rework Jax and Aurelion Sol
After Zeri, a support mage will be added to the game with an emphasis on dealing damage. Outwardly, the character will differ from typical representatives of the class like Lulu or Nami. Then the jungler from the Abyss will appear in the MOBA. The authors did not disclose other features of the new champions. nine0007
In 2022, a visual update for Udyr will also be released, and on the night of January 8, voting will be launched to select the next champion for the rework. According to a survey of gamers, the authors will completely rework Nocturne, Shyvana, Skarner, Tryndamere or Kog’Maw.

Meta LoL for all roles.
Best Champions 2022. July. Patch 12.12b
League of Legends meta gives a decent advantage. We are happy to share some cutting edge information on how the role meta works: top, jungle, mid, bot, sup. Ranking up in League of Legends on the strongest champions is easier than on custom picks. Catch the list of meta champions — it’s easier to rank up on them in soloQ. nine0007
Of course, just choosing a meta champion in LoL is not enough to win. Execution has an important role to play in rankings. Each hero has strengths and weaknesses, but in the long run, the lol meta is essential.
Metal lol top | Top Champions
Camilla is the most versatile champion in the current top meta. Feels good both on split-push and in team battles. In the late game, she can be played both as a direct team engagement and as a flanking assassin for the enemy carries. Has a lot of good and skill matchups. nine0089 Here you can see mini-guide from Gambit topliner.
Tahm kench — the new iteration of this champion combines everything that was before, but now it also has a teleport in the lane and hits even harder.
Gwen is the new champion from Riot Games, 200 years of design again. On the top, you can take to the blind. Has no strong counters. Suffering only in the absence of control in his team.
Gnar is the king of the weekside. Champion is perfect for games where the team wants to play around the bot and when you don’t want to depend on the jungler. The range of auto attacks and the ability to jump out of any incomprehensible situation makes this hero the most independent in the current meta on the top. nine0007
Gragas is the most brilliant champion in the current top meta. If you want to make plays for Synapse montages in every second game, then feel free to take it. Here you will find a gradually updated guide to AP Gragas matchups.
Metal lol: forest| The best champions in the woods
Belvet — The new champion from Riot Games, 200 years of design. The strongest jungler of this patch. Two-Piece Duel of All Champions in the Game
Viego — Strongly snowballing, goes well in almost all compositions. Can fight with any jungler when meeting on the river.
Diana is the strongest jungler in the current meta. Relatively fast clear of the forest (3:19 6 camps). 1v1 kills all junglers tier below.
Ivern — a utility hero that also has a lot of damage, is heavily buffed in 12.12b. Ivern has everything to help his carry in battles. Here you can see the mini-guide from Astralis of Zanzarach. nine0007
Metal lol: mid | Best mid champs
Serafina — The strongest champion in the 12.12 mid meta, the E buff gives her almost constant control in teamfights. Slightly weakened in 12.12b
Twisted Faith — If you are comfortable with the F keys or are willing to learn how to use them, then this is a great choice. A good TF puts pressure on the entire map and ties up the enemy team’s actions a lot. Here you can see a mini-guide from Gambit Phlaty. nine0007
Yone is an improved version of Yasuo. If you want to dominate the lane phase, kill the opponent one on one, then this is the hero for you. In the mid 2021 meta, Yone feels great both as a split pusher and as an assassin.
Galio — this hero can perform any function depending on the situation. The most versatile mid player: tank, assassin, control mage. In addition, he has an area shield on his ultimate ability.
Anivia is a great champion for those who don’t want to move anywhere and also don’t let the opponent leave the lane. You control the lane phase, team battles, and the game. nine0007
Meta lol: bot | Best carry champions
Kalista is the strongest adk in the current meta. Works great with meta supports and wins the lane phase against all ads except for draven and ashi.
Aphelios is the botlaner with the highest skill cap in the game. He has 5 guns and they all synergize with each other. Warning: many people need more than 50 games to master this hero. League of Legends Invoker.
Senna is the best botlaner in terms of utility, but also has a huge attack range, which allows you to harass opponents before teamfights start. Senna has a simple but strong lane phase and a very strong late game. nine0007
Zeri — new adc, 200 years of balance. The strongest 3-item shooter in the 12.12b meta
Shaya is a critical adcarry that is very hard to kill. An excellent choice in the composition against assassins and heroes with any kind of engage. In patch 12.12 he will rise to Tier B.
Metal lol: supports | The best support champions
Amumu are heavily buffed in patch 12.12. Does everything the same as nautilus, but better. Meta SAP
Karma is the best support in the current LoL meta on the bot. Karma received 4 buffs in a row and became stronger than ever. She has an excellent lane poke, great mobility, enough control, and most importantly, a shield for the whole team in team battles. Here you can see a mini-guide from the head coach of our organization Saviour.
Pike is the strongest early game support. On Pyke, it is very easy to get an early advantage, but it is difficult to break it up and end the game. The champion was created for those who like to take risks and outplay opponents. Rightfully takes the position of the most mechanically complex support champion in the current meta on the bot. nine0007
Leona is the perfect hero for those who get tired of waiting for the battle to begin. When your hands itch, you can press all the buttons on the enemy carry and stop him from a distance in the football field. It can perform any function, but is very dependent on the level of wagering. If you want to make plays, then this is your choice. Here you can see a mini-guide from Saviour.
Why stick to the meta?
Who better to utter a word? A champion from the list of meta heroes or any other fighter that you also play recently? The choice is obvious, and the best of them are now at your disposal. Learn and play champions that regularly enter the meta. Remember that it is cyclical. Your new favorite may be weakened, but after a while, the comfortable lol meta will return. nine0007
It’s a different story if you already have a list of favorite champions that you feel confident playing. Maybe you’re great at Timo, or you enjoy playing Tryndamere. These heroes are not “bad”, they are just weaker than the meta heroes, and all other things being equal, you can lose to your opponent just because of this. However, if the opponent makes a mistake or simply plays worse, then you can defeat him on your favorite.
Remember: in LoL you can only increase your rating when you defeat opponents of equal strength. You can lose to an enemy who is stronger and beat a weak opponent with one left. The battle with an equal opponent determines your position in the rating ladder. And the meta in lol is important in such matches. nine0007
Riot Games attitude towards the meta
Luckily, the League of Legends meta is pretty sluggish. Riot Games balance team frequently walks past meta champions during patch releases or formally applies 5 movement speed nerfs. As a result, the best League of Legends champions are destroying the professional scene and the ranked ladder for weeks or even months. Throughout pro-splits, the list of strong heroes in LoL practically does not change. You can take any hero from our soloQ article. If a champion falls out of the meta in lol, then he will disappear from this list as well.
