Is Dynamo good right now?

Dynamo sits in tier A (#9 of 39): a very strong pick. They win 52.4% of their matches and appear in 29.1% of them (168,898 matches on patch 2026-09-26). The patch barely moved them (52.5% before). In high ranks (Oracle+) they do better: tier S at 54.1%.

The best-performing build right now is a hybrid build: "Venta Last Stomp/Singularity", at 58.0% over 100 matches. If you prefer a spirit style, "Dynamo - Tank-Initiator [63% WR] [tracklock.gg]" sits at 57.7%.

Dynamo does especially well against The Doorman, Shiv and Pocket and struggles most against Rat King (41.1%) and Paige. Their best teammate is Rat King.

As a Scientist, Professor Dynamo always had an inquisitive mind. So when a rift in space and time opened up in central park he was first on the scene to investigate – and while he expected such a majestic sight to be life changing, he was thinking more in a metaphorical way as opposed to having his body atomized and reduced to a tiny dying star. But while his body is gone, his spirit and lust for knowledge lives on. A tenured professor at Columbia College, Dynamo looks to learn more about his condition while maintaining his class load, after all: he has future minds to inspire.
