Top picks for Worlds 2024 meta
As the 2024 League of Legends World Championship approaches, players, fans, and experts are speculating on which champions will dominate the meta.
Former professional player and well-known content creator Marc Robert “Caedrel” Lamont shared his thoughts on what we might expect, emphasizing the strength of Yone in the mid lane.
According to Caedrel, Yone is currently considered a “safe” pick due to his popularity in high-level solo queue, where he boasts an impressive 55% win rate in Masters+ ranks, making him a top priority at Worlds.
According to statistics from LoLalytics and tier lists created by streamer and coach Nick “LS” De Cesare, who also ranks Ziggs highly for blind pick, partly because of Team Liquid mid laner APA’s expertise with the champion.
Caedrel speculates that the jungle role could also shift toward AD junglers like Skarner, Viego, Jarvan IV, and Vi. This is due to the recent changes in Patch 14.18, where many AD champions were adjusted to be more viable in professional play.
If AD junglers rise to prominence, it could lead to a corresponding increase in AP mid laners such as Twisted Fate, Sylas, Ahri, and Taliyah, who would synergize well with the new jungle picks.
Many of these champions, including Sylas, Syndra, Taliyah, and Twisted Fate, have seen win rates soar to 55% or higher in solo queue among top-ranked players, making them likely to be highly contested during the tournament. All these factors contribute to a dynamic meta heading into the most important event of the year for League of Legends, Worlds.
