ARAM Mayhem Tier List: The Only Champions That Matter

We’ve been grinding ARAM Mayhem non-stop, and the meta is crystal clear. Only a handful of champions truly dominate the mode. Here’s our breakdown.

S+ Tier: The Win Rate Kings

Kassadin - The New #1

Kassadin has surpassed Vayne to claim the highest win rate in ARAM Mayhem. He’s the undisputed king of Slaughter Time, and his augment synergies are ridiculous:

• Slaughter Time - Best user in the game, bar none
• Silver Moon - Excellent scaling
• Wandering Star - Great mobility synergy
• Mist Blade - Strong burst option
• Eureka Final Form - Insane late game
• Wizard Hat - Even more AP scaling

Kassadin deserves the crown. If you get him, you’re in for a good time.

Vayne - The Dual Blade Queen

Previously the highest win rate champion, Vayne is still absolutely broken. Her percentage-based true damage makes her the premier Dual Blade user. She shreds tanks and squishies alike with the right augments.

Why she’s broken:

• Silver Bolts synergize perfectly with attack speed augments
• Dual Blade turns her into a deletion machine
• Percentage damage means no one is safe

Brand - The Burn Machine

Brand with Infernal Conduit remains one of the most oppressive combos in the mode. His kit is loaded with percentage damage, and when paired with the right augments, he achieves zero cooldowns in teamfights.

We’ve already covered this combo in detail—it’s still just as broken.

S Tier: Consistently Dominant

Lillia - 57% Win Rate Monster

Sitting at an absurd 57% win rate (third highest in the mode), Lillia is another top-tier Infernal Conduit user. Her constant ability spam and DOT damage keep her cooldowns permanently reset.

Naafiri - The Pack Hunter

Naafiri’s numbers are off the charts. She hurts both frontline and backline equally, and her ultimate provides reliable engage. She’s also one of the best Executioner users—her assassination potential is unmatched.

Galio - The Flexible Tank

Galio brings stable CC and his W provides massive shields plus damage reduction. What makes him special in ARAM Mayhem? He’s tanky even building full damage. Whether you need a frontline or burst, Galio delivers.

Maokai - The Unkillable Tree

Stable control, AOE team CC, and his ARAM debuff was removed. Maokai now performs at full power. No matter how bad your team comp is, Maokai provides a consistently high floor. His augment pool is solid too.

Aurora - The Snowball Assassin

Aurora is the best Snowball Upgrade user in the game. She also synergizes with:

• Phantom Weapon
• Slaughter Time
• Multiple gold-tier augments

Her kit just works with everything. High skill ceiling, but incredibly rewarding.

Ekko - The Time Bandit

Another excellent Dual Blade user with tons of augment synergies. Ekko already has ARAM-specific buffs, so even a little attack speed makes him explode. His mobility and safety make him a nightmare to deal with.

Ryze - The One-Combo Wonder

Here’s the thing about Ryze: his pickrate is naturally low since usually only one player per game gets him. This means when you DO get Ryze, you’re almost always in a good spot. One combo and enemies disappear.

A Tier: Strong and Reliable

Fizz

One of the best Executioner users alongside Naafiri. Fizz has access to tons of great Hextech augments. Slippery, bursty, and annoying—exactly what you want in ARAM Mayhem.

Xayah

Great buffs, great stats, and she doesn’t need a support to function. Her only weakness? Long-range mages. If the enemy doesn’t have poke, Xayah dominates teamfights.

Jax

Top-tier fighter with an incredible kit for ARAM. His Q lets him kite and reposition constantly, and he hard counters Dual Blade ADCs like Vayne. Many good augment options available.

Riven

Extremely high win rate among melee champions. Riven has access to a huge variety of compatible augments. In the right hands, she’s a teamfight monster.

Final Thoughts

The tier list confirms what we’ve been seeing in our games: ARAM Mayhem heavily rewards champions with percentage-based damage, DOT effects, and augment flexibility. If you’re trying to climb, prioritize these champions.

Kassadin taking the #1 spot from Vayne is notable. His late-game scaling with the right augments is simply unbeatable.

Good luck in your games—and pray you don’t face a Kassadin with Slaughter Time.
