Effective farming is a key factor in every League of Legends game. It can give players an early advantage or help them come back from a deficit in the late game. With 162 champions in the game, the League community has different opinions on which champions are the best farmers. A player recently asked this question on Reddit, and received several answers.
Sivir was the most upvoted champion, with one player stating that she has the best wave clear in the game. In the late game, Sivir out-farms most enemy ADC champions. Gangplank was also mentioned as a strong farmer, with his ability to delete squishy champions and minion waves in the late game. His waveclear is so strong that he can clear champions with the minions. Ryze’s E-Q combo and Realm Warp ultimate allow him to instantly clear waves from a long distance, making him another popular farming champion.
Fans reminisced about the old times when Twisted Fate could clear non-cannon waves with just a Red Card and Q combo. Victor also has a strong farming potential with his augmented E skill. Other honorable mentions include Ziggs, Ekko, AP Varus, and Graves, who are non-meta champions but have quick farming abilities that make them stand out in any lane or role.
While farming ability is important, it is not the only factor to consider during the draft pick phase. Countering enemy champions and focusing on meta champions is crucial for victory, particularly in solo queue where matches tend to extend into the late game.
