Who's the worst ADC?

BoxOfDOG·Dec 25, 2014·2 votes·5,566 views

So. in your own opinion, who is the worst ADC currently? Remember I'm talking about ADC bottom lane, not Marksman Top, or Jungle, or Mid.

Personally, I would say Quinn. Quinn is simply a hard champion, and is heavily outclassed by most other ADCs in the current meta. Her kit is far more fit for top lane, much like Teemo. Her range is rather short compared to most other ADCs, and her movement speed has been nerfed a bit. But Quinn is a GREAT top laner.

Now I would prefer you guys don't dislike my post simply because you don't agree with me, but it's your prerogative I guess.

Thanks!

Kalista is the worst, because she is essentially asking her support to carry her. Her damage, attack speed, and attack animation are just awful. At least with Quinn her base damage is high enough that you can rush a Shiv and then farm alright. I'm not saying Quinn is good bot lane. She would in fact do worse than Kalista assuming a good support, but if you assume a bad or even meh support Kalista does substantially worse.

Also Urgot . Because Urgot .

Urgot can nuke someone at level 2 with a well time stun from a support. If he lands corrosive charge you best run for your life.

Urgot, cause he only really does well in a specific niche and in the hands of a seasoned vet...

MF isnt bad, she has grievous wounds to reduce healing, extra movespeed and as speed. Plus her ult gets her fed, its an amazing ult early to mid game

Compared to other adc's she is just awful. I'd rather have an ashe or varus who are also immobile than MF.

Twitch is the only champion who actually gets weaker when he uses his ult.

How does he get weaker, his ult increases range, gives him extra AD and his AA pierce through enemies to people behind them.

It makes him weaker depending on who you're facing. Mainly because it gives his auto attacks a chance to miss. And it also streamlines him into a teamfight comp, assuming you're playing team. If you're solo q, you have to hope to get fed.

Now he isn't the worst adc, in fact, he's one of the stronger ones because of his q and poison expunge. His ult is like that because if it were stronger he'd break.

I dont think his ult gives a chance for his AA's to miss..

IceKingChernobogDec 26, 20141 votes

they do, his ult turns them into point and click skill shots. In a way it does make him weaker

the worst adc period no matter what champ it is the who ignores minions and wades into the middle of them to attack full hp enemy champs.

I can see why people would say this champ or that champ is worse but I have seen all champs do well (even Quinn) and seen them all become the worse adc ever.

Worst how?

If we are talking about worst winrate, you can LOLking that. And see that Urgot Kalista Twitch are the worst. However if you are talking about popular ADCs that hurt their team, you'd see that Vayne and Lucian are picked 20% of the time and have a 47% winrate... meaning they are popular but easy for people to screw up with. However Vayne is a good champ to learn hypercarrying and how to deal with a short AA range with while Lucian has a lot of everything an ADC wants. So they are really bad on one hand and very good on the other.

So without any criteria I'd say the worst ADC is a stormtrooper because they have a passive that makes them miss enemy champions.

If you play Quinn like a typical ADC then you deserve to get beat. Build/play like an assassin.

Kalista I'd say is the worst. Her kit really doesn't feel like it gives much. With her support she can nuke part of a tanks health, and she can kite well, but that's really about it. Anyone that can jump on her, lock her down, or chase her for extended periods is going to wreck her.

While I would typically agree with this... Saying you should build like an assassin when you're playing the role of ADC is not really good advice.

Yes, play Quinn like an assassin if you go top or mid... but if you go bot, you have to just basically wait until mid/late game to do anything.

I main Quinn and I go into a match as ADC fully expecting to lose lane... because... well... she just can't hang with other ADCs.

She has no reliable form of poke and she's short ranged. You can't even throw your Q at the enemy because they can just stand behind minions and you're screwed. Sure, every once in a while you land a Q, but you can't follow up with anything... Quinn's main ability is to leap in with Vault and then throw the blind and do some damage with trading... But this only works in 1v1 situations. If you try to vault EVER as Quinn in the bot lane, you're going to just be putting yourself in a bad spot with no real way to escape.

So you kind of just have to hope the enemy bot lane team is super bad, or just take a beating for a bit until a tower drops somewhere. (most likely your bot lane tower)

The bright side is that once laning phase is over, Quinn is free to roam and assassinate... and typically most solo q bot lane teams split up after laning phase... so you have an easy free kill on the enemy ADC whenever they are alone.

It's the times when the enemy support sticks to the adc ALL game that really makes it hard to do anything. Not only are both of them ahead of you, but you will never win a fight as Quinn and get out alive. You MIGHT pick off the adc, but the support will finish you off... or worse, the support CCs you immediately and their adc chews through you before you can assassinate anything.

Playing Quinn as ADC is extremely risky and not recommended. Also you will get flack from your team the entire time... guaranteed. Nobody likes an ADC that looks like they are useless for the first 15 minutes of the game.

I like the advice of rushing Shiv. Get that first to help speed up your CS. You don't need to worry about doing damage early game because you're basically giving up your bot lane tower on a silver platter. You're just there to keep the enemy bot lane company until laning phase is over. Trying to win your lane as Quinn ADC is a fool's errand.

Urgot isn't an ADC.

SH AzykanDec 28, 20141 votes

Urgot, Lane bully that falls off as soon as mid game hits unless you fed him, and even then he falls off insanely hard late game unlike champs like Lucian and Caitlyn who are also lane bullies.

ADC's as a role need to be that late game presence or deny the enemy adc from getting there themselves. Frankly unless the enemy adc is absolutely horrid they are going to outscale you. A 3 item vayne is scarier than a full build urgot.

The only use I see for Urgot is shutting down an enemy lane that has to snowball early or is completely worthless.
