- Strong crowd control and vision
- Global Ult

Vayne
Insanely mobile and dealing some amazing damage, Vayne is shining bright as an ADC. She easily outmaneuvers opponents and takes down tanks. She's the scariest late-game!

- Scales very well
CONS:
- Bad wave clear

- Stealthy
- Insane late game
CONS:
- Low utility
- Weak early game
Smolder
In patch 14.14 Smolder claimed up to A Tier and he's here to stay. He's a horrible midlaner though, keep him in the bot lane!

League of Legends 14.15: B-Tier ADC Champions
Ezreal
Riot is taking back the recent increase to Ezreal’s Q AD ratio while keeping the other buffs from patch 14.14. This isn't a huge change for him but it does balance him a little.
PROS:
- Long range
- Hybrid damage
CONS:
- Weak AAs
- Takes too much time to scale
Xayah
Xayah is still in the B-Tier which is decent. he struggles to find her footing in the current meta. Her ability to outplay opponents with her ultimate and feather mechanics is amazing and something you should use to your advantage.

- Good in team fights
- Decent scaling
CONS:
- Full potential only with Rakan
- Not that easy to pick up
Yasuo
Speaking of Swarm champions, Yasuo is also doing pretty well in LoL Patch 14.15. He got an insane buff which is currently placing him among the S-Tier midlaners. However, ADC Yasuo is a little bit harder to pull off. 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)

- Easily dodges abilities
- AoE damage
CONS:
- Very hard to pick up and master
- Squishy
- Weak early game
Lucian
Lucian is preforming a lot better in patch 14.15, but, there's still a lot more to want from him.

- Very mobile
CONS:
- Short range

- Adequate damage and tower pushing
- Good tank killer

- You need to hit combos
- Highest ADC ban rate

PROS:
- Okay range
- Good in team fights
- Easy CS
CONS:
- Squishy

Difficult to play, and not rewarding at all. Kalista is turning into one of those forgotten League of Legends champions.
