Tier List Explanation

This tier list will examine some of the most-played League of Legends ADC champions.

  • S-Tier: The best champions you can use to ensure you are always victorious.
  • A-Tier: Great options but lacking just slightly either in terms of damage or utility.
  • B-Tier: Viable and reliable in most situations, you can manage rather decently.
  • C-Tier: Although they can be somewhat decent, you are better off with other picks.
  • D-Tier: You should avoid playing these champions as much as possible.

NOTE: Although this tier list strives to be as objective as possible in terms of viability, you should not limit yourself to strictly adhere to this list, but rather experiment and see which champion feels fun to play with.

  • Great poke
  • Lane bully
  • Strong burst

  • High burst and DPS
  • Great scaling

CONS:

  • Reliant on items
  • Not easy to play (but not super hard either)
Twitch

League of Legends 14.14A-Tier ADC Champions

Smolder

Smolder was a mess for a while but patch 14.14 gave him the much-needed boost to climb up a few ranks in the League of Legends ADC tier list. You might notice the significant buff to his Q in your next game.

PROS:

  • AoE Damage

With a lot of mobility and insane damage, Vayne is taking her rightful spot in the top tiers of the ADC list.

Brand

Brand

Brand got a second nerf to his E in LoL Patch 14.14, after the one in 14.14, but this doesn't make him any less of a fiery menace.

PROS:

  • Amazing AoE damage
  • Easy to pick up and master

CONS:

  • Bad utility
  • Easily out-sustained

This mage is a surprise in the ADC tier list but he's a very powerful choice for the bot lane, thanks to his E, event horizon.

  • CC
  • Insane burst and damage

CONS:

  • Squishy
  • Mana hungry
  • Easily-avoidable CC

Seraphine

Seraphine

Guess who's still in the ADC A-tier and going strong? Seraphine has been a surprisingly good ADC for a while now and her win rate is getting better and better. She has everything you need - charm, stun, shield, and heal!

PROS:

  • Versatile kit
  • Strong Utility
  • Heal and shield
  • Low pick and ban rate

CONS:

  • Squishy
Swain

Swain

Swain is another surprising ADC choice but he's just good, thanks to his super annoying abilities which are so hard to play against! He will definitely be the star of the team fights as well.

  • Insane AoE

CONS:

  • Mana issues
  • Squishy

League of Legends 14.14: B-Tier ADC Champions

Xayah

Xayah

Xayah is absolutely killing it in Swarm, however she's just okay on the Summoner's Rift. If you've been following our tier list you might have noticed she's in a weird state in Season 14.

PROS:

  • AoE CC
  • Good in team fights
  • Decent scaling

CONS:

  • Full potential only with Rakan
  • Not that easy to pick up
Yasuo

Yasuo

Speaking of Swarm champions, Yasuo is also doing pretty well in LoL Patch 14.14. He's not OP but he's still decent. Definitely a choice for the seasoned Yasuo players only. 

PROS:

  • Huge carry potential in low elo
  • Annoying lane bully
  • Dominates team fights

CONS:

  • High ban and pick rate
  • Low elo players don't play him well (huge feed potential)
Zeri

Zeri

Riot seems to have good intentions with Zeri but she's always lacking something to perform well. She's been in the B-Tier for a while now and we wonder if she'll be getting some help in the upcoming League of Legends patches.

PROS

  • Easily dodges abilities
  • AoE damage

CONS:

  • Very hard to pick up and master
  • Squishy
  • Weak early game
Draven

Draven

Draven wouldn't like the fact that he's not in the S-Tier (or a tier of his own) but he's performing... well... decently. We expect more from him. Keep in mind his growing ban rate!

PROS:

  • Snowball potential
  • Aggressive and fun

CONS:

  • Difficult to have a comeback if you're behind

League of Legends 14.14: C-Tier ADC Champions

Caitlyn might finally give her huge ban rate a break - she's no longer as powerful as she used to be, despite her gigantic range.

PROS

  • Huge range
  • Great poke

CONS:

  • Difficult early game
Samira

Samira

Samira's difficult mechanics, combined with not enough damage, make her a horrible choice for Ranked.

PROS:

  • Great in team fights
  • Huge snowball potential
  • Mobile

CONS:

  • Difficult to pick up and master
  • Weaker late game
  • You need to hit combos
  • Highest ADC ban rate

Ezreal

Ezreal had a very short-lived moment a few patches ago and he's back to being irrelevant on the Summoner's Rift.

PROS

  • Long range
  • Hybrid damage

CONS

  • Weak AAs
  • Takes too much time to scale
Lucian

Lucian

Lucian is one of the LoL champions who's been in a weird state in Season 14. He might not feel good to play in Ranked unless you main him. 

PROS:

  • Amazing duelist
  • Very mobile

CONS:

  • Short range

League of Legends 14.14: D-Tier ADC Champions

Tristana

Tristana

Tristana used to be absolutely OP as an ADC and midlaner. However, her reign seems to be over in the bot lane due to a nerf to her Q and W in Patch 14.14. She's also one of the ADCs with lowest winrates.

Corki

Corki

If things couldn't get worse for Corki, he just received a nerf to his base health, making him even squishier.

PROS:

  • Okay range
  • Good in team fights
  • Easy CS

CONS:

  • Squishy
  • Mana hungry
  • No CC
Kalista

Kalista

Things got even uglier for Kalista in patch 14.14. Not only is she a difficult champion to play but she's extremely useless in the current LoL meta.

Aphelios

Aphelios

Unfortunately, the huge buff did nothing to ADC Aphelios and he's still stuck in the bottom tiers of this LoL list.

PROS:

  • AoE damage
  • Great duelist

CONS:

  • Difficult to play
  • No mobility
Varus

Varus

Varus takes second place, after Tristana, for the ADC with the lowest win rate. He's in a horrible state currently. What more can we say?

  • Adequate damage and tower pushing
  • Good tank killer

CONS

  • Very squishy
  • Can struggle against heavy engage comps
