ADC Tier List For Current Patch Patch 7.17

aside from the fact I've not updated this in ages, Morde is played in the bot lane.

Draven is his own tier, and annoyingly I can't move an entire up/down. Xayah, yeah I've been bouncing her between A/A+ tier but the reason I think she's just A tier is because her power truly shows when played with a Rakan. On her own with whatever support, I think she's a good A tier champion. With Rakan, she becomes A+ even stepping on the toes of S.

But we need that many tiers to cover them all :(

Yup. Her lane presence was unaffected and although headshot was a huge DPS boost with Hurricane, she'll still put out super high DPS late game with her safety and zone control from traps. Not to mention, I can feel less ****ty about myself going Shiv/RFC combo which on a trapped target can legit 100-0 people in a single shot.

Ashe, in my opinion, is so incredibly strong because she has almost everything going for her. Longer than average range, easy to manage poke tool, global vision, global initiation ult, no RNG and super versitile build paths. Kind of like Caitlyn, she can transcend metas because she can get IE first, get ER first, get bortk first, go BF > Zeal. The only thing she can't handle is lethality based metas (because she can't use those items, and her lack of mobility means assassins get a field day) and dive meta's (can't self peel pretty much at all).

She's just so consistent. Plus S tier isn't "perfect champ in every situation" all 3 of them still have obvious weaknesses. It's just that they can be safely first picked when you have no idea who you'll have on your team and who the enemy will pick. You'll always have the ability to hard carry one way or another with S tier champions no matter what, and without much of a learning curve for them.

EDIT: I forgot about Twitch. He's a god tier champion for anywhere below diamond, and can 1v9 every game thanks to his ability to punish poor positioning. Kind of like a Blitzcrank. If you misposition vs either of them, they will take a lead and run with it. However, the higher elo you get the less the enemy will fall of assassination attempts. They're always doable, and you'll always get 1-2 tries to do it at every elo but your lane will simply get rolled on by the S tier ADCs. Ashe being the only S tier twitch can deal with. Lucian will straight roll his lane meaning he won't be able to pick off the Lucian and will need to scale into the mid/late game thus giving him a glaring weakness at one of the most important part of the game. Caitlyn I would argue is a hard counter to twitch. Just never lets you farm pretty much at all, and if you open on her she can E cancel W you and one shot you if she's ahead (and she will be because she should win lane.)

It's true Twitch does seem to have that pub-stompy goodness for solo queue, but he did say he was writing it for Diamond level and probably people know better than to get caught out by twitch there, or at least I hope so. :^)

Ashe's immobility is unforgiving but her ability to initiate teamfights seems like a pretty big boon for solo queue to me. Also she at least has slows to help her run away from someone running towards her.

Ziggs is niche, probably B tier at the moment. With Warlord's and bortk being a thing he gets out-sustained too easily meaning he can't poke as effecitvley. That being said, he's still a great pick when you have a phys top/mid/jungle (which is sadly still very common in solo queue)
