LoL 14.12 ADC Champions Tier List: Best Ranked Picks

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.

PROS:

• AoE damage
• Great duelist

CONS:

• Difficult to play
• No mobility

Corki is the ADC with the lowest win rate. He's doing terrible as an ADC, falling behind all other available options.

Draven is a fan favorite who's been hard-stuck in the low tiers. He was in a stable place in LoL patch 14.11 but he's been doing worse since then.

PROS:

• Snowball potential
• Aggressive and fun

CONS:

• Difficult to have a comeback if you're behind

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

Riot tried their best with Smolder but things just aren't working out for him. At least he's not the ADC with the lowest win rate anymore.

PROS:

• AoE Damage

CONS:

• Squishy
• Dependent on gold and stacks
• Quite weak

Samira peaked a few patches ago and since then she's only been preforming worse and worse. Add her difficult mechanics to that and you have a pretty bad combination.

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

Lucian is another LoL champion who's currently in a weird state. He might not feel good to play unless you main him.

Kalista is quite an unpopular Ranked pick for a reason. We won't be surprised if Riot buffs her soon due to her dire state.

PROS: 

• Great mobility
• Amazing kiting

CONS: 

• Hard to learn
• Ult is dependent on the team

You might be surprised to hear that Varus is performing equally well as an ADC and Top Laner. With great poke and good objective-taking, he can add a lot to the team.

PROS: 

• Adequate damage and tower pushing
• Good tank killer

CONS: 

• Very squishy
• Can struggle against heavy engage comps

Yasuo seems to be in a decent place both in the bot lane and the mid lane - not amazing but not bad either. 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)

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. Keep in mind she performs better in mid, in case you main her.

PROS:

• Strong mid-late game
• Easy to pick up

CONS:

• Squishy
• Short range early on

Ezreal got a much-deserved buff in patch 14.12. Although the boost is huge, it seems like it was enough to only get him away from the bottom tiers of this list.

PROS: 

• Long range
• Hybrid damage

CONS: 

• Weak AAs
• Takes too much time to scale

Nilah is an underrated ADC who's been performing extremely well in the current League of Legends season, especially after the buff in patch 14.12. 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

Seraphine has been a surprisingly good ADC for a while now and her win rate is growing. 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

Kai'Sa has returned to the top tiers of the ADC meta after being a bit of a flop in 14.11. As a hybrid between a marksman and an assassin, she's absolutely insane in lane, if played properly. 

PROS:

• High burst and DPS
• Great scaling

CONS:

• Reliant on items
• Not as easy to play as other ADCs

With high poke and AoE damage, Ziggs can be very fun to play in Ranked. The best thing is that he can be strong even from behind.

PROS:

• Great late game
• Amazing zoning

CONS:

• Squishy
• Mana hungry

Riot had good intentions with Zeri but she's always lacking a little something, although she's doing a little better since the last patch.

PROS: 

• Easily dodges abilities
• AoE damage

CONS:

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

Sivir is one of those underrated champions who aren't popular but perform quite well. She's also possibly one of the best pushers in the game.

PROS:

• Shield
• Good wave clear

CONS:

• Squishy
• Short range

The item changes in LoL patch 14.12 made MF less powerful but she's still extremely easy to play and carry with.

PROS:

• Great poke
• Lane bully
• Strong burst

CONS:

• Squishy

Ashe's passive might have gotten nerfed in patch 14.12 but she's still absolutely unstoppable. 

PROS:

• Strong crowd control and vision
• Global Ult

CONS:

• Low Burst

Jinx has been a menace for a few patches now and she's dominating the bot lane. Late game Jinx is absolutely insane and she's also really good with taking objectives.

PROS:

• Easy to play and master
• Huge range
• Global ULT

CONS:

• Squishy
• Reliant on items
• High pick and ban rate

Similar to Jinx, Jhin has been killing it in the past few patches. He's a classic LoL champion who is always performing well.

PROS:

• Great scaling
• Versatile kit
• Amazing range and AD

CONS:

• Difficult to master
• Low attack speed

Another familiar face in the S-Tier. Caitlyn is an absolute menace thanks to her huge range and useful traps.

PROS: 

• Huge range
• Great poke

CONS:

• Difficult early game

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

Brand is one of the stars of the last few patches, 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 

It's been a while since we've last seen Vayne perform so well as an ADC. The item changes have been treating her well and she's shining as an amazing duelist.

PROS:

• Great carry potential
• Spykes after just one item
• Scales very well

CONS:

• Bad wave clear
• Very dependent on the support early on
