Is Lash good right now?

Lash sits in tier B (#13 of 39): a solid but unremarkable pick. They win 50.7% of their matches and appear in 45.6% of them (228,138 matches on patch 2026-09-26). The patch hurt: 0.6 points less win rate than before (51.3%).

The best-performing build right now is a spirit build: "AShires' E6 Spirit Slam Lash", at 53.9% over 356 matches. If you prefer a tank style, "Deathy's FULL SPIRIT LASH IS BACK" sits at 47.9%.

Lash does especially well against Mirage, Shiv and The Doorman and struggles most against Rat King (38.3%) and Graves. Their best teammate is Rat King.
