ARAM Tier List for Patch 26.20
The best ARAM champions in patch 26.20 are Caitlyn, Kalista, Blitzcrank, Shaco and Swain: Caitlyn wins 61.2% of its ARAM games. 153 champions have at least 15 ARAM games this patch for a tier. The tier comes from the win rate, pulled toward 50% when a champion has few games, and a little from how often it is picked: S+ is the top 3%, S down to 13%, A down to 35%, B down to 65%, C down to 85% and D the rest.

Where the ARAM Data Comes From
The builds come from real ARAM games read through the Riot Games API. Our job reads ARAM games of players of every region, all day, and keeps for every player the final items, runes and summoner spells and, from the game's timeline, the items bought in the first 90 seconds and the order the abilities were leveled. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are left out.
- Core items: the first three finished items, in any order, that most players of the champion completed.
- Starting items: what was bought in the first 90 seconds, potions left out.
- Skill max order: the order the three basic abilities reached 5 points.
- A champion's build is shown from 15 ARAM games; the pick rates and win rates come with their games.
ARAM balance changes come from lolstaticdata, built from the League of Legends Wiki, and are read again when the champion data updates.
