ADC Tier List – Best champions for LoL Patch 14.22
ADCs is responsible for the majority of the damage output, yet the role’s importance has undergone several shifts over the past years. While the marksmen were considered the most OP roles in some seasons, there were other periods where they would be blown up by any champion jumping at them.
With the changes to the itemization this season, however, the role seems to be in a more balanced spot: ADCs are able to play their own game, and the less “snowbally” playstyle allows them to scale up and reach those item spikes to be relevant. Nonetheless, picking the right champions in the meta is essential to increase the chances of victory: here is our ADC tier list.
Check out also our tier lists for all the other roles:
- Best Top laners of the patch
- Best Junglers of the patch
- Best Mid laners of the patch
- Best Supports of the patch
These are the best ADCs for Patch 14.22
5. Ashe – the reliable pick
Ashe has been one of the best ADCs for several patches already. Not only does she have good poke for the laning phase but she can set up fights and skirmishes with her ultimate. As long as you’re good with your positioning, you should find plenty of success with her.

4. Draven – the bully laner pick
Whenever scaling ADCs are meta, Draven finds his own space as a counter to those champions. Thanks to his damage early on, he can negate farm and experience and put himself into a snowballing position as soon as he can pick up a kill. With the increasing importance of drakes, he can also get priority for his jungler and stack them early on. He’s difficult to master, but it’s worth the try.
3. Corki – the new pick of the moment
Ever since his small rework, Corki has been gaining a lot of popularity in the bottom lane. While he’s not your typical early game bully, he can neutralize most of the matchups with his AoE abilities. And once he hits level six, he can also start to poke and trade back.
With all abilities having AD scaling now, he can deal absurd damage without having to go full poke mode. Try him out and you’ll understand the potential.
2. Kog’Maw – the hypercarry is back
There has been an increasing presence of hypercarries and Kog’Maw is the preferred choice among the marksman available. The slower-paced early games as well as the focus on two and three-item spikes allow Kog’Maw to scale up more easily and become the threat he’s designed to be. On top of that, there are several enchanter champions like Lulu that are quite strong in the meta as well, further boosting his presence.
1. Caitlyn – the best ADC

It’s that time of the year again where Caitlyn becomes all of a sudden the most powerful ADC in the meta. Thanks to her high base range and ability to harass the enemy champions during the laning phase, she can take control of the bottom lane most of the time. In return, this gives lots of advantages to the junglers, who can capture drakes or play through invades in the enemy jungle.
On top of that, Caitlyn is one of the best champions when it comes to taking down turrets, which can grant her additional gold from turret plates without having to kill or fight the enemies. As long as you’re good with your positioning, she is the no. 1 pick you need to go for.
