LoL Wild Rift: Baron Lane Tier List for patch 5.0

LoL Wild Rift update 5.0 is finally here and along with it, we have some new champions making their debut. Apart from this, there are plenty of reworks and changes which are surely going to affect the meta.

With update 5.0 bringing new dynamics, it's time to reassess the champions dominating the Baron lane. In this article, we are going to go through the ultimate LoL Wild Rift Baron lane tier list keeping in mind the latest changes introduced in update 5.0.

So without delay, let us find out the best Baron lane champions in update 5.0.

LoL Wild Rift Baron Lane tier list for patch 5.0

Based on a very well-known format, we have divided our tier list into the following sections:

• S+ Tier: The absolute best of the best. These champions are generally so good that they are called unfair or broken.
• S Tier: Still top-tier, but not quite as dominant as S+. These champions are very strong and will generally be a good choice, but they may have some weaknesses that can be exploited by S+ heroes.
• A Tier: Again, a good choice but not up to the standards of S and S+, but they may have some weaknesses or may not be as good in all situations.
• B Tier: Provide viable and solid options that can be outclassed. Also, they may have specific counters or may not be as effective in all matchups.
• C Tier: Very easy to exploit hence they should only be picked in specific situations.

With all of this taken into account, below is the LoL Wild Rift Baron lane tier list for patch 5.0.

Before moving ahead we would also like to make it clear, that the top picks from each tier are not only based on their win rate but on collective outcomes and opinions.

Best from each tier

Jax (S+)

Undoubtedly, Jax is among the most powerful champions in the LoL Wild Rift roster. Even with the meta changes, Jax remains a high-priority pick. This makes us ask, what makes Jax so frustrating to deal with? Well, for starters, his kit offers a wide range of tools for combat situations.

With each consecutive swing, his attack speed ramps up, turning him into a late-game demolition king. But it's not just his scaling that's a headache, it's his ultimate, Grandmaster’s Might, which allows him to deal bonus magic damage on every third basic attack, making him almost unstoppable in the late game.

To stop Jax, you'll need to bring your A-game. For example, champions that pack a punch in the early game or have crowd control can put Jax in his place. Calling for jungle help is always effective as it can put Jax behind on lane, and give your team some breathing room.

Lastly, the most important thing is that Jax has a win rate of 49.0%.

Shen (S)

Shen emerges as a standout player for the Baron lane, which makes us place him in the S tier. He is mostly picked for his tankiness and ability to absorb a lot of damage.

His taunt ability, Shadow Dash, serves as a crowd-control tool. He can use this to initiate team fights or protect his carries from harm. Making a combo with Twilight Assault produces a lethal forward attack.

Also, we can't forget about mentioning his ultimate, Stand United, which allows him to teleport to an ally anywhere on the map and shield his team. Whether it's saving a teammate or swiftly joining a battle, Shen's ability to influence the entire map is unparalleled.

This can also be verified via his win rate which is 50%.

Yasuo (A)

Mostly known for his high mobility, devastating damage output, and flashy playstyle, Yasuo is a champion capable of turning the tide with delicacy and precision.

However, there are times when you will feel that Yasuo can be a better fit for Mid lane. He brings flexibility and pressure to a team composition, which can't be overlooked. His ultimate ability, Last Breath, allows him to dash to airborne enemies, dealing massive damage and suspending them in the air.

Yet, Yasuo's strength is also his biggest weakness. Smart opponents can exploit this vulnerability during close-range battles, or by poking him and avoiding a head-to-head fight.

Currently, Yasuo holds a strong position in this tier list, with a win rate of 47.8%, but a very high pick rate.

Tryndamere (B)

Tryndamere excels in aggressive play and can be used as a tank substitute. He can swiftly navigate the map, whether pursuing or escaping danger himself.

His ultimate ability, Undying Rage, grants him temporary invincibility. Another one of his abilities, Bloodlust, makes his attack more lethal and allows him to recover health.

Of course, no champion is flawless. Tryndamere stumbles in the early game, and hence needs assistance. While he can be powerful in the right hands, he's not the easiest champion to play effectively.

Furthermore, he struggles against champions who drain his health and have strong laning phases such as Garen, Renekton, and Pantheon. That's why we placed him on our second lower tier.

Overall, he is good but not incredible, and his 49.8%. win rate proves just that.

Kayle (C)

Kayle, while undeniably powerful, falls short of being the absolute best choice for Baron lane due to a combination of factors that slightly limit her effectiveness in certain situations.

First, Kayle's early game can be somewhat challenging, especially due to her underpowered melee attacks. Before she reaches certain power spikes and evolves her abilities, she can struggle against aggressive opponents. So getting past the laning phase is a real struggle when playing Kyle.

Despite these limitations, Kayle's scalability and ability to transition into a powerful late-game hyper-carry make her a solid choice for the Baron lane.

That is all you need to know about the LoL Wild Rift Baron Lane tier list for patch 5.0. We hope this article helped you to get a good idea of what champions are strong and the ones you should avoid picking.
