Hi Everyone,
I've decided to start focusing on ADC more. I was curious on what people might say is a strong, well rounded, pool of adc champs?
Currently here's the pool I play from:
Graves Lucian Kog'Maw
Any advice on who else you would add to this pool? I want to make sure I'm relatively covered for multiple counters and comps.
Thanks!
I'm a support main, so I might not know as much as other people, but I can comment on the ADC's I typically find the strongest right now.
- I see a good amount of him. He is tanky, he is bursty, he is close ranged.
- Wow. She is good. She has a long range slow, aoe damage for waveclear, omnipresent ult, her own cc. She has some mana problems if you aren't careful with her rockets and is rather immobile if you don't get kills/turrets, but she can be mean.
- When you look up the definition of lane bully, you will find the sheriff's badge. She has so much range on her basic attacks and abilities that she can poke at her enemies from a mile away. Add into that her own cc, her long range ult, and the escape she has with her slow/dash and she has a full kit for an ADC.
- If you can master her, you will do great things. She is very hared hitting, but very squishy, so you will be very reliant upon your support early game. If you can survive to mid game without completely losing lane, you will dominate. She has a dash in her q, an aa steriod, a knockback / stun and an all around steroid with her ult. A trick to master with her - Roll into position and impale the enemy to the wall. If you can pull that off, you will be able to do great things with this huntress.
- Similar to Vayne, Tristana brings a lot of late game power. Unlike Vayne, Tristana is surprisingly strong at the early levels, harassing with her e. She is all about those kills though, so if you fall behind you won't have much of a chance to recover. Note she is free if oyu like their page on FB.
I can't really comment for many others, since my ADC friend really only plays them. 
is squishy, but has a lot of range. 
is an all in monster, but if he is focused he is dead. 
is on free week now, so try him if you want. he is bursty, he is damaging, but his q can put him out of position and he only really works if you are good at juggling. 
is flat out broken with her passive and her e, just build AS and call it a game. 
is not used much, neither is 
. 
is a lane bully, and has a lot of range, and might be worthwhile to look into.
I know it's a weird, off-meta pick, but try a few games on Quinn.
The reason I suggest this is because not many people know how to play against it (because it just doesn't show up). She's an amazing split-pusher and duelist. Her ult is a good assassination tool (despite the shitty execute damage). Her blind is just fun.
You do have to be careful of her bugs (though she is scheduled for a fix in 5.6), and make sure you don't cancel the damage when orb-walking. Also, don't ult in teamfights. It's a bad idea.
Not saying this should be your main. She's definitely got some issues. But she's decently strong, a bit enigmatic, and just really freaking fun.
People will probably rage at you in ranked just for picking her, though, so don't take her there till you're confident.
Cait and Jinx are safe picks.
I recommend Jinx and sivir, who are both great picks and offer alot to their team
if you wanna be a masochist i also recommend twitch
Jinx, Varus, Sivir, Kallista, Ashe
Ashe and Varus are GREAT at initiating a fight. Jinx is a cleanup artist and stops enemy teams pushing with a single crit rocket to the minion wave. Kallista is everything Twitch should have been. I don't really play Sivir myself but I've seen her used a LOT to great success. Seems she can really help assist an engage with her ult.
Jinx for sure. Sivir for sure. Tristana is fun. Kalista will force you to play better. Cait is the go-to safe ADC. corki is good for most lanes.
Ezreal! I've yet to go negative in ranked on ADC ezreal, he's excellent if you like the caster style adc.
I would stay away from Tristana since she has one of the lowest winrates of any adc right now. Her e does good damage, but there's too much counterplay to her kit and they nerfed a few other things during the rework.
Ezreal is great because all you have to do is land his q. You don't need great positioning or knowledge about laning.
Jinx is very strong right now so I would suggest picking her up. Only time I don't like her is when the enemy has some dive champs like jarvan or vi.
-If I'm in pick/ban phase I will use something like graves or ezreal if I don't know what the enemy team has. If I see the enemy bot lane/jungle then I might lock in something more situational like Kog'maw. It's really hard to play Kog'maw against lockdown like Vi or leona paired with burst.
I'd suggest taking Kog'Maw out of that pool. He takes way too long to rev up, and requires your team to peel for him, meaning he is a horrible adc for solo que. I would suggest Tristana, shes not as hyper carry as she used to be, but she is still really strong and can peel for herself. Another good option is Cait and Jinx. both excelt at pushing turrets and poking down the enemy team, but Cait is a bit safer, and has a stronger laning phase, although her late game isn't as good as Jinx's.
is pretty fun now, i would try as well
Jinx, she currently wins against all adcs on average.
