These tiers come from tournament performance, not opinion. They are built from the Top 8 finishes and the Day 2 numbers of the Regional Qualifiers in Barcelona, Singapore and Los Angeles, using Riot Games’ official results. The columns show how many players brought each Legend, and the ring around each portrait shows its two domains. This is the meta from before Radiance, so expect it to move, and it will be updated after each major event. Legends with too few players to appear in Riot’s results are not shown.

How the tiers are calculated

Every Top 8 deck earns points: 1st place is 10, 2nd is 8, 3rd and 4th are 6 each, and 5th to 8th are 5 each. A Legend with at least 15 players at an event also earns points for Day 2 conversion, which compares how many of its players reached Day 2 with the event average: 3 points for 1.5 times the average or more, 2 points for 1.15 times, and 1 point for 0.85 times. The points from all three events are added up. S is 30 points or more, A is 15 to 29, B is 4 to 14, and C is anything below 4. The columns use each Legend’s average share of the Day 1 field: Most played is 4% or more, Regular is 1.5% to 4%, and Rare is under 1.5%.
