Riot Games has unleashed chaos—and they called it Brawl. This isn’t your average League of Legends mode where you farm for 30 minutes and politely shake hands at objectives. No, Brawl skips the pleasantries. It’s raw, relentless combat from the first second to the last.

Want to survive? You’ll need the right champions. And not just survive—thrive, dominate, and delete health bars like they owe you money. Let’s dive into the unpredictable, sometimes absurd world of Brawl’s best and worst picks.

What Exactly Is Brawl in League of Legends?

Imagine Team Deathmatch, but every champion’s out for blood from the moment the gates open. Brawl is 5v5, a small map, no turrets, no waiting, and no excuses.

Both teams start with a shared pool of 250 health points. You chip away at that by killing champions (5 damage each), shoving minions into the enemy portal (1 damage), or clearing waves. Jungle camps? Yeah, they exist—they slap hard and reward harder.

Matches are frantic and fast—usually over in around 10 minutes—and every second counts. It’s a beautiful mess of skill shots, ultimates, and questionable life decisions.

League of Legends Brawl Tier List: The Picks That Matter

If you want chaos, mayhem, and victory—here’s who to play (and who to avoid like a 0/10 Yasuo).

S+ Tier: Win Condition Walking

Jinx
She’s the queen of Brawl, plain and simple. Rockets flying everywhere, traps locking down choke points, and the passive? That speed boost after every takedown turns her into a snowball with a machine gun. One good fight, and suddenly it’s Jinx’s world—everyone else is just respawning in it.

Fiddlesticks
It’s dark, it’s creepy, and if you hear that ominous crow noise—it’s probably too late. Fiddlesticks thrives in Brawl’s tight corners, popping out of bushes like a horror movie villain. His fear and healing turn fights on their head, especially when grouped enemies forget to ward the jungle.

Ziggs
What’s small, bouncy, and responsible for most of your health bar vanishing? Ziggs. He bombs the map from a distance, clears waves in seconds, and his ult? Expect explosions that flip fights before you even see him. Safe, deadly, annoying—everything Brawl loves.

Miss Fortune
The definition of press R, collect wins. MF’s ultimate wipes grouped enemies off the map, and her wave clear? Disgusting. She dominates early fights and scales with reckless abandon. One well-placed ult can change the course of an entire match.

S Tier: Consistent, Lethal, Reliable

Viktor
Viktor in Brawl hits his upgrades early, turning him into a zoning, area-control nightmare. His stun and lasers break up team fights, while his damage snowballs hard if left unchecked. Bring him when your team needs magic DPS with brainpower.

Shaco
The jester of pain, the master of confusion. Shaco turns the map into a minefield of traps and fakeouts. He’s frustrating, slippery, and loves punishing overconfident enemies. Brawl’s smaller arena is his playground—just don’t trust anything that looks like him.

Naafiri
Hungry? Good. So is Naafiri. She’s fast and vicious, and her pack is always looking for blood. Dive into fights, pick off stragglers, and make sure the enemy backline never breathes easy again. Naafiri thrives in chaos—perfect for Brawl.

Darius
If you see Darius stacking up his passive, run—or don’t; it probably won’t matter. His bleed damage, resets, and brute-force dueling make him terrifying in confined spaces. Left alone, he will carry entire fights by himself.

A Tier: Strong Picks With Caveats

Viego
Reset, king. Every kill turns Viego into a new nightmare, taking over enemy champions like he’s auditioning for a horror film. Early fights fuel his snowball, but if your team falters? Viego’s impact crumbles fast.

Lulu
The fairy godmother of Brawl. Shields, speed, polymorph—Lulu protects carries and punishes assassins trying to make plays. Ideal for team comps relying on fragile backliners.

Swain
This bird-man loves when enemies group up—his pulls and healing thrive in messy brawls. His ult makes him tanky and disruptive. If your squad wants sustained team fights, Swain’s your guy.

Tristana
Jump in, get a kill, jump again—rinse, repeat. Tristana’s burst damage and resets make her a mobile, slippery threat. Weak early, but with a few takedowns? She’s off to the races.

B Tier: Situational—Proceed With Caution

Ahri
Charm’s nice, mobility’s nicer—but her damage can feel underwhelming in hectic team fights. Great for picks, slippery enough to survive—but don’t expect to hard carry.

Blitzcrank
One good hook can win a fight. One bad hook? You’re kind of standing there like a metallic statue. Blitzcrank’s a pick machine but limited beyond that. Accuracy required.

Brand
Explosions galore… if enemies stay grouped and forget to focus on him. High area damage potential, but Brand’s squishiness makes him risky in fast-paced fights.

Lucian
Quick trades, decent damage, but Brawl’s claustrophobic map limits his mobility. Better ADC options exist—but in the right hands, Lucian can still shine.

C Tier: High Risk, Rare Reward

Kai’Sa
Late-game menace—but good luck getting there in Brawl. Her scaling feels sluggish, her early impact is weak, and unless your team baby-sits her? It’s going to be rough.

D Tier: Why Are You Doing This to Yourself?

Teemo
Look, mushrooms are great… just not in Brawl. Teemo’s traps take ages to set up, and his damage feels like a gentle tickle in chaotic team fights. Leave the scouting to someone else—pick a champ with real impact.

Final Thoughts

Brawl is wild. Fast. Brutal. Picking the right champion can be the difference between glorious victory and a fast, painful defeat screen. Choose wisely—and may your next fight be as unpredictable as the mode itself.
