The best ADCs in League of Legends right now are Jinx, Veigar and Yasuo, the three picks in our S tier as of 6 October 2026. Jinx pairs a 51.8% win rate with the largest sample in the role. Veigar and Yasuo are off-role bot lane picks winning 52.3% and 52.0% of their games.

We rank every champion played in the bot lane across more than 1,251,260 ranked games, weighing win rate (shrunk toward the average for smaller samples) plus a small pick-rate bonus, and we leave out anything under 1,000 games. The list refreshes every patch, and you can check any pick in more detail on our champions pages.

Best ADCs right now: top picks

Jinx: 51.8% WR across 241,170 games at a 19.3% pick rate. The most played pick on the list is also one of its winners, which makes her the safest blind pick in the role.
Veigar: 52.3% WR over 31,622 games, the highest win rate on the list. A 2.5% pick rate means few players run him bot, but the sample is large enough to trust.
Yasuo: 52.0% WR across 33,828 games at a 2.7% pick rate. A specialist pick that rewards players who already know him.
Kog’Maw: 52.0% WR over 27,965 games, the highest win rate in A tier and the best traditional marksman by win rate.
Twitch: 51.4% WR across 87,316 games at a 7.0% pick rate, a strong result on a sample three times the size of Veigar’s.

How we rank

Ranked by a score combining win rate and pick rate; within a tier, by score.

Ranked games from our champion stats in this role. Win rate is shrunk toward the average by sample size, plus a small pick-rate bonus; champions under 1,000 games or 1% of the role's games, and off-role picks (under 15% of the champion's games, unless played in over 20,000), are left out. Sample: 1,251,260.5 games.

Jinx: Jinx leads S tier by pairing a 51.8% win rate with the most games on the list, 241,170.
Veigar: Veigar posts the highest win rate on the list at 52.3% across 31,622 games, enough to put an off-role mage in S tier.
Yasuo: Yasuo's 52.0% win rate over 33,828 games earns S tier, though his 2.7% pick rate shows only a small group plays him bot.

Kog'Maw: Kog'Maw has the highest win rate in A tier at 52.0% across 27,965 games, with a lower pick rate than the S tier trio.
Twitch: Twitch lands in A tier with a 51.4% win rate over a large 87,316-game sample.
Tristana: Tristana sits in A tier on volume, with a 50.7% win rate across 159,831 games at a 12.8% pick rate.

Miss Fortune: Miss Fortune heads B tier with a 50.3% win rate across 175,175 games.
Hwei: Hwei has the highest win rate in B tier at 51.6%, but his 13,071 games are the smallest sample on the list.
Caitlyn: Caitlyn is the most played pick in B tier at 235,573 games, but her 49.6% win rate keeps her out of A tier.

Draven: Draven has the highest win rate in C tier at 49.1% across 55,928 games.
Samira: Samira is the most played C tier pick at 63,583 games, with a 48.9% win rate.
Mel: Mel lands in C tier with a 48.5% win rate over 19,663 games.

Vayne: Vayne heads D tier with a 48.1% win rate across 49,131 games, the smallest sample in the tier.
Lucian: Lucian's 47.1% win rate over 60,364 games places him in D tier.
Ezreal: Ezreal is the most played D tier pick at 98,866 games, but his 45.9% win rate keeps him in the bottom tier.

The most popular marksmen are not the ones winning most. Caitlyn is the most played pick in B tier at 235,573 games yet wins 49.6%, and Kai’Sa sits at 49.0% across 161,712 games. Ezreal, the most played D tier pick, wins 45.9% over 98,866 games.

Mages that players take to the bot lane do well on this list. Veigar leads it, Viktor sits in A tier at 51.7%, and Hwei and Ziggs both land in B tier above 50%. If you already play these champions mid, our best mid laners list shows how they rank in their main role.

Watch outMind the sample size

Hwei has the smallest sample on the list at 13,071 games. His 51.6% win rate is real data, but a few thousand games can move it more than the same swing would move Jinx or Caitlyn. Treat low-sample picks as promising, not proven.

Tier breakdown

S tier

S tier holds the three bot lane picks that combine a win rate above 51% with a sample large enough to trust. Pick from here when you want the best odds in a blind pick, with Jinx as the default and Veigar or Yasuo when you already play them.

A tier

A tier mixes niche picks winning around 52% with popular marksmen just above 50%. Kog’Maw, Nilah and Viktor reward specialists, while Tristana and Yunara are dependable high-volume choices for any player.

B tier

B tier is the largest group, packed with popular marksmen hovering around 50% and a few lower-sample picks above it. Take a B tier champion when it is your main or fits your team comp better than a higher-tier option.

C tier

C tier champions all win between 48.2% and 49.1% of their games in our data. Play them only if you have real mastery, since a comfortable pick from a higher tier will usually serve you better.

D tier

D tier picks all win under 48.2% of their games despite solid samples. Avoid them for climbing unless one is your main and you know its matchups well.

How to use this tier list

Use the tiers to break ties, not to override what you play well. A champion you have hundreds of games on in B tier will usually beat an S tier pick you are learning, so stick with your main and reach for the top tiers when you are building a pool or blind picking. Check how your pick pairs with your lane partner on our best supports list, and think about team comp: an off-role mage like Veigar leaves your team without a traditional marksman, so make sure someone else brings sustained damage.

Key takeawayThree rules for picking your ADC

Apply these in champion select before you lock in.

Blind pick Jinx or Twitch when you have no read on the enemy bot lane, since both win above 51% on large samples.
Pick off-role S tier options like Veigar or Yasuo only if you already play them comfortably.
Recheck the list after each update and read the patch notes to see what changed for your main.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best ADC in League of Legends right now?

Jinx is the best ADC in our data as of 6 October 2026. She holds a 51.8% win rate across 241,170 ranked games, the most played pick in the role, and leads S tier ahead of Veigar and Yasuo. That mix of high win rate and huge sample makes her the safest bot lane pick to climb with.

Which ADC has the highest win rate?

Veigar has the highest win rate in our bot lane data at 52.3% across 31,622 ranked games as of 6 October 2026. Kog’Maw and Yasuo both print 52.0%. Veigar is an off-role bot pick, so take him only when your team comp can cover the lack of a traditional marksman’s sustained damage.

Why are mages like Veigar and Hwei on an ADC tier list?

They appear because enough players take them to the bot lane. Our filter keeps champions with at least 1,000 games and 1% of the role’s games, and drops off-role picks under 15% of a champion’s games unless played in over 20,000 games. Veigar, Viktor, Hwei, Ziggs and others pass that bar.

Is Ezreal a bad ADC to climb with?

Ezreal sits in D tier with a 45.9% win rate across 98,866 ranked games as of 6 October 2026, well below 50%. That does not make him unplayable, but if you are not already an Ezreal specialist, a pick from S or A tier such as Jinx, Twitch or Tristana gives you better odds to climb.

How often is this ADC tier list updated?

We refresh this ADC tier list every patch from our own ranked games. The current numbers were read on 6 October 2026, so check that date before you lock in a pick. Balance changes can shift any champion’s tier quickly, so pair the list with the latest patch notes for context.
