The best ADC champions in League of Legends

A lot is involved in being a good AD carry in League of Legends and it’s arguably the most mechanically skilled role. The best ADC for each patch changes by the minute, with the meta and item adjustments constantly adding variance to the bot lane.

ADCs come in all shapes and sizes, and you must pick the correct one to match the composition your team is looking to play. If you are looking for a long-range poke, choose Caitlyn, and if you want a lategame hyper-carry, Vayne. It also depends on personal preference. Here are the five best League ADCs in Patch 14.14.

Best League ADC champions in Patch 14.14

The current best bottom laners on Patch 14.14 are: 

• Kai’Sa
• Jinx
• Jhin
• Miss Fortune
• Ashe

Kai’Sa

After being away from the top of the food chain for some time, Kai’Sa is back with a vengeance. She’s the ultimate backline diver and can eliminate squishy targets in the blink of an eye. Her hybrid build allows her to make the most out of all of her ability upgrades; the optimal way to play Kai’Sa.

However, Kai’Sa still needs to be set up to get the most out of her, unless you can isolate a squishy member before backup arrives. Kai’Sa benefits from strong teamfighting comps; your team can engage, allowing you to get to the backline without fearing being blown up.

Jinx

Jinx is one of the better lategame hyper-carries in League. She’s deadly in multiple ways, whether up close with her minigun or from range with her rockets. Jinx has many ways to inflict a lot of damage on her opponents. With her Super Mega Death Rocket! (R.), she always has great comeback mechanics if you do find yourself in a losing position. One execution can change the game for Jinx.

Jinx can be played at all levels. She does take some time to get used to, but once you figure out the two gun forms and how to juggle them, you’ll learn to love Jinx. Jinx found her way back in the fold for Patch 14.13, with many having her S-tier. With Kraken Slayer strong, Jinx would always come back into the conversation for being the best ADC in League.

Jhin

Numerous AD carries rise and fall in the rankings with each patch, but a few of them are always close to the top. This includes Jhin, who’s been one of the most versatile and powerful marksmen in the game for years.

With his unique kit, Jhin is a great option for many combinations. Due to long range and poke, he allows you to go for a safe scaling route. But, if you’d like, there are number of ways to utilize his abilities in an aggressive way.

With Jhin’s unique passive, making every fourth shot stronger, and his limited auto attacks, there is simply no better option than Fleet Footwork. It not only enhances Jhin’s attacks and heals him, but also gives him a movement speed boost. For an ADC that’s so immobile, it’s more than helpful in numerous situations.

Other than that, it’s best to pick runes like Presence of Mind to keep your mana replenished, Legend: Bloodline to provide yourself with some life steal, and Coup de Grace to simply finish off enemies faster.

Miss Fortune

Miss Fortune has been a versatile pick for years now, having been selected for the support role each year. But while she does horribly in these duties at the time of writing, she’s terrific in her default ADC role.

The champion’s scaling AoE burst is arguably unmatched in the current meta. Miss Fortune has the ability to complete wipe the enemy team with a single ultimate if her allies help her. On the other hand, being such a massive threat comes with a risk of often being on the crosshair herself.

Despite limited mobility, it’s best to invest in improving Miss Fortune’s damage when looking at runes. That’s why the primary choice should always be Press the Attack, unless you’re going for a Lethality build, where First Strike is much more favored.

Similarly to Jhin, her other runes should aid her with mana, life steal, and damage. In terms of secondary tree, there are no superior options, with Magical Footwear and Biscuit Delivery doing just fine.

Ashe

Last but not least, we have Ashe. Like Kai’sa or Jhin, she’s always been one of the better ADCs in the meta, and that’s still the case in Patch 14.14.

Ashe doesn’t have the greatest laning phase, nor is her damage the biggest when compared with other marksmen. However, her abilities are excellent, with her ultimate often giving her the upper hand. Enchanted Crystal Arrow is a crowd control tool that can stun enemies for up to 3.5 seconds, which is one of the longest in the entire game. Thanks to that, Ashe often forces other champions to take Cleanse or build items that can take a stun off them.

After landing a stun or two, it’s best to unleash your potential onto enemy champions. Precision tree is almost always the best rune for ADCs, and for Ashe specifically, there is no main rune more suitable than Press the Attack.

The only exception when compared to Jhin or Miss Fortune is taking Absorb Life over Presence of Mind. Ashe won’t be wasting as much mana, and having some additional sustain is always helpful. Therefore, you may also switch Legend: Bloodline to Legend: Alacrity and secure yourself additional attack speed.
