LoL ADC Tier List - Patch 26.10
The ADC, or bot lane carry, is the role that scales into a team's primary source of sustained damage in the mid and late game. A strong marksman in good position can win teamfights single-handedly, which is why bot lane carries are some of the most important picks in any draft. This Patch 26.10 ADC tier list ranks all 33 viable bot lane carries from S-tier to F-tier so you can pick the best ADC to climb with right now. Rankings are built from millions of ranked games and updated every patch, scoring win rate, pick rate, and real solo queue performance rather than opinion. Brand currently tops the ADC meta with a 55.3% win rate, while Brand, Hwei, Smolder are the safest, highest-win-rate marksmen to first-pick. S-tier ADCs offer the best blend of laning, scaling, and teamfight damage; A and B-tier picks remain strong and flexible; lower tiers usually need a specific support or team composition to shine. Use this ADC tier list to choose between lane bullies, hypercarries, and utility marksmen, find a pairing that matches your support, and see which carries the current patch rewards. Whether you want to dominate the early game or scale into an unstoppable late-game threat, the rankings above show exactly where each ADC stands so you can draft smart and win more games.
