LoL Worlds Songs Tier List – All Ranked From Best to Worst

The Ultimate League of Legends Worlds Anthems Tier List

In the world of League of Legends, few things can get fans more pumped up for the next series at Worlds than an epic anthem. With so many iconic songs to choose from, the question remains: which one reigns supreme? In this definitive tier list, we’ll dive into the best and worst of LoL’s Worlds anthems, from the most legendary to the most lackluster.

S Tier: The Crème de la Crème

• RISE – Worlds 2018: This anthem might just be the most epic League of Legends Worlds song to date. Its animation is wild, featuring the greatest players in the world, including Ambition, Uzi, Perkz, and Faker.
• Warriors – Worlds 2014: This legendary anthem is probably the most famous of all LoL’s Worlds songs. Its animation and lyrics can send chills down the spines of both veteran and new players, making it a must-listen between games.
• GODS – Worlds 2023: While I’m not a huge fan of NewJeans, GODS is the reason I wanted to hear more of their music. It’s the first Worlds song in years that can come close to the epicness of RISE, both in video and audio.

A Tier: The Almost-Greats

• Burn It All Down – Worlds 2021: This anthem sounds like a rougher version of Phoenix, with lyrics that are much more memorable and an animation to match. At the time of its release, it was arguably the best Worlds anthem animation-wise.
• Take Over – Worlds 2020: This anthem tried to match the vibe of Warriors and RISE, but it came just short. Still, it came really close and is still among the better new anthems, with an exquisite music video that made us rewatch it multiple times.
• Phoenix – Worlds 2019: When I think of Phoenix, I remember the pre-game screen right before a game between prime FPX and prime Invictus Gaming, with elimination from Worlds on the line. It wasn’t as hype as the songs before it, but it still remains one of the most loved anthems to date.
• Heavy Is The Crown – Worlds 2024: This anthem is as epic as Worlds anthems go, taking a more alternative rock route, natural considering Linkin Park made it. The only thing that bothers me is that, for some reason, Linkin Park almost gets more screen time than the players. Faker’s exit from his castle does make up for it, though.

B Tier: The Decent but Not Exceptional

• Ignite – Worlds 2016: This anthem was quite a bit different from the songs before it and those that came right after it, lacking epicness and hype. For that reason, it still remains one of the least favorite Worlds songs among fans. Nevertheless, it seems to be a perfect background track for those late-night solo queue grinds.
• Worlds Collide – Worlds 2015: If you were to play Worlds Collide to ten LoL fans, chances are that at least half of them wouldn’t even know that it was a Worlds anthem. It’s fairly bland and repetitive, and it can hardly hype you up for the next game the way Warriors or RISE can.

C Tier: The Disappointments

• STAR WALKIN – Worlds 2022: This anthem seems to be the only song on this list that just doesn’t feel like a Worlds anthem. Instead, it sounds like something you’d listen to while working or as part of a sports game’s soundtrack. I don’t know; maybe Riot programmed us to expect a RISE-tier song every year, and now we’ll just be disappointed each time we don’t get one.

The Verdict

There you have it – the ultimate League of Legends Worlds anthems tier list. Whether you’re a fan of the epic, the legendary, or the disappointing, there’s something for everyone in this list. So, which anthem gets you pumped up for the next series at Worlds? Let us know in the comments!
