Personally I think:
Solo Queue: Ezreal, Caitlyn
Both these carries have a good laning phase and a lot of mobility to keep themselves out of harm's way. No peel required.


The problem i often run into with ezreal is that he doesn't do a heck of a lot of damage. Putting down towers can be a pain, especially when other ADCs like jinx can easily knock down a turret with 1 creep wave. I try to play ezreal only when i am pitted against an assassin heavy team, because i think he is the safest ADC - the best solo queue adc may be a stretch though.

Best ADC right now is probably Jinx. Gets messed up by assassins, but with a little bit of peel, she will decimate your opposing front line.
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

Ezreal doesn't do much damage but pushes towers well with 50% free AS and Trinity Force procs. In soloq I don't think Jinx is reliable enough. Nocturne, Kha'Zix and Zed are prime examples of assassins who are really tough to peel.

draven best adc



ontoppic: ezreal is probably the last great pick against pick-comps where Elise and/or Thresh usually show up.

I agree with Hannul. It really depends on the situation. In the current meta some ADCs (ie Jinx and Lucian) are used more and can be very powerful, but that doesn't mean others aren't reliable.

In the end it all comes down to how much you know whatever particular ADC you wind up using. Stats matter, but knowledge and skill go a lot further.

Other champions push towers better, like Lucian, Jinx, and Caitlyn and they have damage. Jinx snowballs really hard which is strong in solo queue, I think she's fine to pick in solo queue.

In regards to the question

Jinx >>> Lucian > Caitlyn = Draven = Sivir > Varus > Tristana = Ezreal > everything else?

Vayne is probably somewhere in there idk. I have an irrational hatred for her so I can't really put her anywhere without being biased. I also really like Miss Fortune and Twitch but idk where they belong
Thanks for the Signature MissMaw!

Jinx has a huge late game, and her poke is good in Lane. But she has a weaker mid game and has no escapes What so ever. Now I most often prefer the Jinx pick if I have good peel, but assassins are really hard to deal with. Then Lucian Ezreal and Twitch are my go to guys. Trist works fine too, but her build up is too long now!
If you for some reason want to follow my ranked journey to gold, you can do it Here.

I am against asking for rep, only rep me if you think I contributed well or said something wise.

Urgot's not technically an ADC since his usual build is something along the lines of Manamune, Black Cleaver, Iceborn Gauntlet, etc.

If you build him like a typical ADC, he goes squish when you Hyper-Kinetic Position Reverser anyone.


Thank you to jhoijhoi for the sig, and all the dividers in the guide.

If you are going to do it this way fine, but all adc-s have pros and cons. For example: Jinx is prolly the strongest adc right now because she was a great laning-phase and her late-game is beast.

But with the HP stacking tanks on top most adc-s have a hard time, the best solution for that is Vayne , yes she has a bad laning-phase but if you just farm and get to late-game you will reck those tanks. Varus does ok against them too, his W pasive does percentage damage and R can keep them off.

Lucian and Draven are great early and mid game, they have the strongest laning-phase and great burst.

These are the top 4 adc-s for me, Caitlyn, Ezreal and Sivir are great too, but these 4 beat them.
