Champions in bold will have an explanation as to why they are in their tier.
God Tier
Champions in God Tier should be picked before any other champion. They are the best at top lane. If you want to be a competitive bot laner, you must learn how to play these 3 champions.
Lulu, Morgana, Syndra
First Tier
Champions in first tier are not as good as the God Tier champions but they are still exceptional. If all the God Tier champions are banned or picked, these would be your go-to champions.
Ahri, Anivia, Annie, Karma, Lissandra, Orianna
Second Tier
These champions are good bot laners, however they are easily countered or lack some aspects that would make them God Tier (i.e. don't farm well, lack mobility, etc.) Some champions are situational and can be used to counter-pick other champions or make sweet team compositions.
Brand, Diana, Fizz, Vel'Koz, Viktor, Ziggs, Zyra
Honorable Mention
Ryze, Swain, Malzahar, Rumble
Lulu, the Fae Sorceress
Although Lulu's damage is considerably low compared to other God Tier champions, Lulu has a great kit, especially because of her support based spells that are over powered during team fights.
Lissandra, the Ice Witch
Lissandra has amazing CC
