Sunndae's ADC Tier List Patch 8.5

I don’t know on what elo this guide focuses but imo Lucian shouldn’t even be considered as good ADC. He is the weakest pick in the actual ADC Meta with a winrate of 46 to 47 percent. And literally every other ADC can easily win against him. Also his passive is easily countered by the right support choice.

Yo, great guide here :D I love the detail you put into why which champs were where... I would love it if you gave more champs reasons (especially , because i'm not sure where she is in the meta right now...)

As for Xayah (warning you that I love Xayah), maybe she belongs up higher as well. I see a lot of people play her incorrectly, as well as make bad guides on her on MOBAFIRE. People say that you want to max her Q out first, which is totally incorrect!

The way to go is Q, E, W, then R > E > W > Q
To be honest, it took me a few games to figure this out, but once I did, playing Xayah became so much easier. You take Q first since you need the poke in lane, and your feathers allow you to poke enemy as well as clear wave more easily. You get E second because you need that to make use of her feathers. If you play it right, you can get a quick root with a single Q and an AA followed by the E. Her E is where most of her damage comes from, and you want to be able to use this ability as often as you can to keep dealing the damage.
E is next cause it's free damage on enemy champs during teamfights, a way to kite, and a way to quickly get extra feathers for her E. Also, you use the E to quickly chunk down towers and monsters.
Q is last because it's only poke. The amount of damage you get off of it isn't that good, and the fact that you have to be still while launching it sucks and can get you killed. That said, use it on a wave, 3 AA, then # to quickly clear the wave at higher levels.

Xayah's R is what can make her supper powerful. When used correctly you can turn around a fight with ease. The R lets her doge so many ults, and deals damage to the enemy. Then if you have your E up, it deals more damage on the way back and can root enemies too close to you, which is great. Sadly you cannot jump over walls with it. Personally, I do not engage with R, since that's leaving you with one less escape option.

tl;dr R>E>W>Q, land your E to deal the damage. Use W to kill towers. Use R to turn fights around.

By the way, I learned something cool today in bot games. Xayah's ult can allow her to not take damage from Karthus' ulty since his ulty is considered an auto-damage ability, and untargetable negates damage from auto-damage abilities or spells.

Personally, and yes I know I said personally, I would move tristana up to the top tier as well. Especially in lower ELOs, people have trouble stunning her in the middle of her rocket jump, so her escape is pretty good. Also with her passive, she can really kite people hard once she hits level 11. Then her E allows her to chunk towers down quickly and the E passive makes it easier to get poke damage. Her R also can allow disengages, or push the enemy into a sticky situation.

In general, my point about her is that she doesn't take much skill to be able to use properly, and her kit makes her very hard to kill while allowing her to deal lots of damage.
