Assassin tier list: the best Assassins
All 29 Assassins in the game, main or secondary role, ranked by the same rule as the main tier list: win and ban rates, all ranks combined.Learn more
- 29 heroes ranked
- Patch 2.2.16
How this ranking is calculated
The score is win rate + a quarter of the ban rate.
Win rate measures what a hero delivers once picked. Ban rate measures what players fear: it catches heroes too strong to be left open, whose win rate is misleadingly low because they're rarely available.
Pick rate isn't part of the calculation — it measures popularity, not power. It's only used to mark with an asterisk heroes played too rarely for their numbers to be stable.
The ↑ and ↓ arrows under the win rate show its change over seven days in this rank, when it reaches at least 0.2 points.

Tier S+3
Dominates the patch. Pick or ban.
HiraraJungle- Win
- 50.3 % down 1.6 points in 7 days
- Ban
- 67.7 %
- Pick
- 0.6 %
New heroine in patch 2.1.88, banned in the vast majority of games in Mythic Glory: the level reflects the fear she inspires, while her victory rate drops below average in Mythic.

Very strong in good hands, worthless if the windows are marred.
SaberJungle · Roam- Win
- 50.7 % up 0.5 points in 7 days
- Ban
- 23.7 %
- Pick
- 1.0 %
Banished much more often in Mythic than in Mythic Glory for a near-average win rate. Patch 2.1.88 shifted it towards sustained damage and fighter items.
Tier A8
Solid, without dictating the pace of the game.

- Pick
- 0.4 %
The level is due to bans, increasing over thirty days, while his victory rate has fallen to below average. Patch 2.1.88 strengthened it on the turtle and the lord.

The most played jungler in Mythic Glory, especially effective in short games; his win rate returns to average after the twelfth minute.

Decent, but depends on the context or the player.

A tier list measures how forgiving a hero is, not how far they can take you. A mastered C-tier hero beats an S+ hero picked up yesterday.
