League of Legends Patch 9.9 tier list: support edition
By Josh Tyler
After the dust settled on the biggest patch in Season 9 of League of Legends which supports have risen or fallen?
Patch 9.9 has been out for half a week, which means we have plenty of data for another in our series of League of Legends tier lists. Today, we look at the bot lane, starting with support. As always, these rankings are determined by the tier lists and rankings of eight different sites to give you the average strength of each champion in the five roles of League of Legends.
Per our methodology, we take each rating for the tier list and normalize that value, making sure that an A rating on one site and a “God tier” rating on another can be accurately compared. This is done by creating a normalized value based on all rankings given out by that site so the average standardized rating is 0.00 with higher numbers being good to very good rankings and negative numbers being bad rankings.
