Best League of Legends mages

Sylas wins 69% of its duels and tops the League of Legends best Mage ranking ahead of Syndra.

The podium holds tight at the top, but a sharp drop separates the contenders just below. Syndra claims rank 2 with 1351 ELO points, yet 67 points divide her from Lissandra in third place, the largest gap in the upper ranks. Brand sits at 1279 ELO points while Anivia holds 1271 points to complete the top 5. At the opposite end, the community delivers a harsh verdict. Zoe languishes at rank 33 with 981 ELO points and a 25% win rate across 44 duels, trailing Neeko and Seraphine who fare only slightly better. The basement positions suggest these champions struggle to convince voters of their Mage credentials.

This ranking draws from 5878 duels involving 52 players who weighed in on 33 contenders, updated on 12 October 2026. The sample reflects a clear hierarchy, though the volume of duels leaves room for shifts as more votes arrive. Head to VAINKEURZ to cast your own duels and reshape the standings.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
