Updated May 6.
Hello, I'm Sauron. I tried to take over the world but then yordles blew up my tower. Now I am homeless and play Dominion all day, and I'm camping in a reserved parking space on lolmatches' lists eating other people's Elos to survive. I'm also bored out of my mind from these queue times so I made a tier list to bore the minds out of others as well.
The list is for high Elo meta because I refuse to smurf. Tournament play is also considered, but is not important, because who would care about a tournament tier list. List is subject to change at any point because I'm a jerk like that.
As usual, all tier lists are just opinions of their creators based on their experience and are certainly not absolute reasoning or even a valid argument in discussions. Top-down, left-to-right, you know the drill!
