Tier List Explanation
This tier list will examine some of the most-played League of Legends champions in the ADC role.
- D-Tier: You should avoid playing these champions as much as possible.
- C-Tier: Although they can be somewhat decent, you are better off with other picks.
- B-Tier: Viable and reliable in most situations, you can manage rather decently.
- A-Tier: Great options but lacking just slightly either in terms of damage or utility.
- S-Tier: The best champions you can use to ensure you are always victorious.
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.
League of Legends 14.10: D-Tier ADC Champions
You'll see Ezreal at the bottom of almost all of our League of Legends champion tier lists. Season 14 in LoL is definitely not his time to shine, as he falls behind compared to the rest of the ADCs.
PROS:
- Long range
- Hybrid damage
CONS:
- Weak AAs
- Takes too much time to scale
Riot tried their best with Smolder but things just aren't working out for him. He's the ADC with the lowest win rate in the current 10.14 meta.
PROS:
- AoE Damage
CONS:
- Squishy
- Dependent on gold and stacks
- Quite weak
Kai'Sa was in the top tiers of our chart not long ago but in patch 14.10 we see her back at the bottom. She seems to be hard-struck, completely overpowered by other ADC choices with much more damage.

League of Legends 14.10: C-Tier ADC Champions
Xayah has been a hit-or-miss champion for a while. As a champion, she's unstable in the LoL meta. She might feel a little weaker on the Summoner's Rift.
PROS:
- AoE CC
- Good in team fights
- Decent scaling
CONS:
- Full potential only with Rakan
- Not that easy to pick up
Patch 14.10 buffed Corki but it seems like this wasn't enough as he's still falling behind compared to other ADCs.
PROS:
- Good at roaming
- Long range
- Easy to CS
CONS:
- Squishy
- No CC
Lucian is another LoL champion who's currently in a weird state. He might not feel good to play unless you main him.
Riot had good intentions with Zeri but she's always lacking a little something. It seems she just isn't doing that well in Ranked and she has the low win rate to show for it.
PROS:
- Easily dodges abilities
- AoE damage
CONS:
- Very hard to pick up and master
- Squishy
- Weak early game

League of Legends 14.10: B-Tier ADC Champions
Yasuo got adjusted in patch 14.10. His Critical strike chance multiplier has been lowered to 2x. Riot makes up for this nerf with a Bonus AD for the Excess Critical Strike Chance buff. It seems like the days in which he used to bully every single lane are over but he's still a decent pick.
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)
The 2024 Season in League of Legends started off poorly for Aphelios but Riot has been trying their best to make him a viable choice. He's still in an unstable place and very dependent on how good your skills are.
Senna is currently a better option as an ADC than Support. She's versatile and fun to play. Back when Season 14 started she was OP but she's not as insanely powerful now.
With her amazing burst, Tristana can make your opponents in bot lane rage quit. She's very fun to play and an always decent LoL champion pick.
PROS:
- Strong mid-late game
- Easy to pick up
CONS:
- Squishy
- Short range early on
Vayne is a great choice for both top and bot lane thanks to her insane damage. She's a hypercarry if played well and needs only one item to start performing well.
PROS:
- Duelist
- Peels herself well
CONS:
- Slow farming
- Weak early game

League of Legends 14.10: A-Tier ADC Champions
A surprising choice but a good one. Seraphine is still dominating the bot lane with her OP abilities. 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
As you can tell by his high win rate, Karthus has been absolutely destroying the bot lane recently. Pick him up while he's still OP!
PROS:
- Global pressure
- AoE slow
CONS:
- No crowd control
- Mana-hungry
Draven was too OP so Riot nerfed him. He's still a decent choice with great damage, just not as insanely powerful as he used to be.
PROS:
- Snowball potential
- Aggressive and fun
CONS:
- Difficult to have a comeback if you're behind
Kog'Maw hasn't been this powerful in a while. Make use of his current state in LoL patch 14.10 for a fun time.
Nilah is an underrated ADC who's been performing extremely well in the current League of Legends season. She'll shine the brightest in team fights.
PROS:
- Hypercarry
- Strong in team fights
- A lot of players in Low Elo don't know how to counter her
CONS:
- Squishy
- Vulnerable to CC
- Hard to master
Brand is one of the stars of Patch 14.10, dominating the mid and bot lanes, as well as the jungle. He's in a really good state right now.
PROS:
- Amazing AoE damage
- Easy to pick up and master
CONS:
- Bad utility
- Easily out-sustained

League of Legends 14.10: S-Tier ADC Champions
Easy to play and absolutely OP - Jinx is probably the best ADC pick for Ranked in Patch 14.10. Late game Jinx has always been insane and we see her shining even more currently. She's also really good with taking objectives and that's very important.
PROS:
- Easy to play and master
- Huge range
- Global ULT
CONS:
- Squishy
- Reliant on items
- High pick and ban rate
Jhin is another reliant ADC option that can easily carry you to victory. He's one of those champ who never get old and are always performing decently.
PROS:
- Great scaling
- Versatile kit
- Amazing range and AD
CONS:
- Difficult to master
- Low attack speed
This classy (and classic) ADC is dominating the bot lane from a distance. Cait's range is insane and you can abuse it to your advantage.
PROS:
- Huge range
- Great poke
CONS:
- Difficult early game
Samira has been nerfed but only because the new ADC items in LoL made her too powerful. Despite these changes, she's still an amazing choice. Keep in mind her late game is not as strong as it used to be.
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
Ashe is back in the S tier and we love it. She's another 'classic' League of Legends champion with solid lane presence.
PROS:
- Strong crowd control and vision
- Global Ult
CONS:
- Low Burst
MF is loved by many League of Legends players because she's easy to play and has some insane damage. We see her winning bot in 14.10 as well!
PROS:
- Great poke
- Lane bully
- Strong burst
CONS:
- Squishy
Twitch is one of those ADCs who are really annoying to play against. He's overall a menace and you can use this to your advantage in Ranked.
PROS:
- Long range
- Stealthy
- Insane late game
CONS:
- Low utility
- Weak early game
