Patch 1.2.0 YuHinZ Solo Queue Hero Tier List by YuHinZ

Hi everyone and welcome to read the hero tier by me. Its been a big new patch in VG of SS no longer provide bonus attacks. Many of the WP based hero got Rekt And RIP.

The tier list takes data from my own experience and MOBA knownledge to list out each tier and make judgement.

Each champion's strength is relatively close. This is especially true for Tiers 2 and 3 where these champions are ALL highly playable and player dependent on how strong they are in-game.

To the people who are new to Vainglory, its good to take a look at what heros are good to play with and purchase.
To the experienced player, feel free to take a look and discuss.

Once again, do notice that this is a Hero tier list of Solo queue.

God Tier(Highest influence) - Koshka, Adagio, Petal.
Tier 2(strong/preferred choices) - Ringo, Skarf, Taka.
Tier 3(Balanced/needs higher skill) - Gliave, Catherine, Saw, Celeste, Joule.
Tier 4(RIP) - Ardan, Krul.

Koshka: In this patch, koshka had a huge buff with abilities mana cost reduce to half. This allows her to spam abilites. It is very difficult to use up all the mana with good mana management. This also allows koshka to stack up her passive much easily and it provides around 300 - 1000 gold advantage from the bonus defence and movespeed

Adagio: although the SS no longer provides bonus attacks. Adagios B is very powerful with high attack spd. His ult is also one of the best ult in the game with tons of dmg and CC.

Petal: most tanky and op range carry hero. Petals early mid game shines the most with buff seed minions. The dmg and brutal without buying any offensive item. This allow petal to build tanky early mid game while minions deals Tons of damage.

Ringo: the weakest range carry of all. However, this update made cp ringo more viable and suitable in high elo matches. CP ringo is deadly in mid laning phase with constant burst and slow dmg. Also, ult becomes a kill secure with nuke dmg.

Skarf: extremely crazy dmg in early mid game. In this update, cp items buffed slightly in the late game. Also, skarfs ult has passive cp piercing which no longer needs cp piercing item. Huge amount of cp should be enough to take the whole enemy down. However, broken myth made piercing a lot easier, so getting it makes all abilites more deadly.

Taka: Taka is known to be the most annoying and nuke hero in the game. With fairly farmed and lvl 6 taka, he can easily take down enemies. Also, he can steal creeps such as kraken and gold mine easily. However, his early game is extremely weak and slow jungle speed. So i have put him in this tier.

Glaive: Most hp points each level hero and most awesome ability mechanics of pushing enemy. Although glaive is rated quite high in high elo matches. He is sometimes really hard to coopoerate with in solo queue. Kind of a YOLO hero in VG.

Catherine: O yes, why is she down here. Ummmmmmm. I guess with the new update, koshka became too strong and she appears nearly every single game in the jungle or lane, so cath gets taken over by koshka in most of the way as koshka has huge flexibility in building tanky and offensive. Although she has the easy stun on enemy, it sometimes doesnt work as SEMC still hasnt fix this bug yet. So stun is not 100% guaranteed. Im putting her in tier 3.

Saw: booom. Huge fix in SS. No more WP SAW. Huge nerf in ult. No more crazy burst from CP ult. The only way SAW can shine is the aftershock SHANK. Tons of dmg.

Celeste: ummm. I have not played her yet and i havent seen a good celeste yet. Her abilities are too predictable and she is very weak which gets focus down quite quickly.

Joule: Super tanky and what can she do. Apart from sniping ememy with ult and counter jungle. Not much really.

Ardan: I really dont want to place him here. Although I personally think he is a better tank than cath, koshka can take him out too easily and he relies on item too much unlike cath. However, his abilites is where turning over games and making come back possible. Still, im placing him here.

Krul: Enough said. Clockwork no longer gives CP. Krul RIP.

The purpose of this list is for discussion and to provide a starting point for hero selection.
