HoK S26 Solo Tier List: Lam 54.9% WR & Augran 55.1% Dominate

Solo Rank in Season 2026? It's all about Lam's 54.9% WR and 38.7% ban rate, plus Augran at 55.1% WR and a whopping 45.2% ban. These guys crush with speedy clears and ganks. We're diving into tier lists, builds (that 73% WR Red start shines), counters/synergies (Yaria hits 70%+ WR), KPIs like 65%+ WR, and patch shakes post-Oct 2025. Master 2-3 S-tier heroes per role to hit Diamond+—aim for 70-80% KP.

Season 2026 Solo Rank Snapshot

Post-Patch Meta Twists

Patch 1.10.5 dropped Oct 16, 2025—buffed Charlotte's MS and Zhou Yu's damage, but nerfed Sun Shangxiang's ult from 200% to 180% AD, and Athena's CC from 2.5s to 1.8s. Then Nov 15 hit with -5% early assassin damage, +10% tank HP, +15% support gold. Lam's rocking 67% WR and 98% pro P/B across 64 KWC matches; Augran's at 58% WR/94% P/B, starring in Wolves' 4-2 win with Shadow MVP Lam's 8.7 KDA.

Track patches every 4-6 weeks. Prioritize mobility. Ping objectives 55s early—like Dragon at 3:30. Simple as that.

Win Rate Sources & How We Crunch 'Em

Diamond+ WRs hover 52-55% for S-tiers, pulled from pick/ban/pro usage in KWC ($10M prize, 58M viewers), up to Dec 4's V11.1.1. We zero in on 65%+ WR (20+ games), 70-80% KP, 6+ KDA, top-2 damage at 25-30% by 10min.

Steps: 1. Log high-elo stats weekly. 2. Stick to 3-5 heroes per role. 3. Adapt to regional bans—Augran and Lam first.

S+ Tier: Your Carry Gods

Lam: Assassin Nightmare Fuel

54.9% WR in Diamond+, 24.1% pick/38.7% ban, 98% pro P/B, 67% KWC WR. Hit lvl3 by 01:15-01:30 (73% WR on Red start). Death From Below dashes, drags, slices. Wavebreaker gives 30% CDR/health. Space Split for dashes, true damage passive, water zones (another 30% CDR).

Steps: 1. Red buff: Crimson Golem at 00:30 → Tusked Boar → Azure at 00:45 → gank 01:15 (leash 00:20-00:25, just 2 ally hits). 2. Gank duo under 60% HP from 01:00-01:30. 3. Combo: Wavebreaker → Space Split → Death From Below.

(My take: Lam's ganks feel unfair—I've seen teams crumble before 2min.)

Augran: Jungle Beast Mode

55.1% WR, 45.2% ban, 94% pro P/B, 58% KWC WR. 1v5 self-heals? Yeah.

Steps: 1. Blue: Azure 00:30 → smalls 00:45 → Crimson 01:15 → gank 01:30. 2. Delay lvl4 ults/items till 8-10min (73% WR). 3. Poke towers post-gank; smite >70% HP/mana.

S Tier: Flex Kings

Standouts for Any Draft

Steps: 1. First pick Lam/Augran, flex Loong/Marco. 2. Ban S-tiers. 3. Ping Yaria roam: mid wave1 → duo shield → jungle sync.

Builds & Arcana Essentials

Lam Arcana: Hunt x10/Eagle Eye x10/Mutation x10; Boots of Tranquility (blue CDR/mana). Camps: buffs 102g/90s, Sprites 126g/60s. Build: Hunting Knife (250g/25% less monster dmg) → Relentless Blade/Patrol Axe/Guerrilla Machete (700g) → Muramasa/Blade of Despair/Fenrir's Tooth/Axe of Torment.

Steps: 1. Start Hunting Knife. 2. Rush core items.

B-C Tier: Bench 'Em in Solo (Unless You're a God)

Pitfalls to Dodge

Why They're Dropped

Steps: 1. Grind S/A. 2. Customs for leashes. 3. Track 90s buffs.
