As an ADC main, you need to be playing strong ADCs who will give you the best chance of winning the game. You should try to pick a champion that you’re comfortable with, who is mechanically easy and that you enjoy. These 3 things are key for success for ADC mains if they want to climb in Season 15.
The ADC role can have a lot of impact in the game, but their early game tends to require the most help as they traditionally need some time to come online and they need time to scale. ADCs will be one of the main damage dealers in the mid and late game, so it is important that you perform well to increase your chances of winning. One way you can increase your chances of winning is by playing a naturally strong ADC, and in this Mobalytics guide, we will discuss 5 stop ADCs in Season 15.
1. Jinx
The first champion on our list is the poster child of League of Legends! Jinx is a fan favourite ADC who has consistently been strong for quite a while now, and she continues to wreak havoc on Summoners Rift. Jinx can snowball very quickly if she can get an early kill or two, making her a very strong mid and late game champion.
Jinx players should look to gain an early lead and snowball from there. She doesn’t deal too much damage in the early ranks, but once she has some levels and items under her belt, then she can easily carry in team fights thanks to her Q and W. The only downside to playing Jinx is that she is quite squishy and can be immobile compared to some other ADCs like Corki or Ezreal as she doesn’t have a dash or mobility tool that is one of her abilities.
Jinx is one of the easier champions on our list. She can be really strong with any Support in LoL. She does well with tanks as she can follow up after they engage. She works with peel as they can empower her to deal additional damage. Jinx works well with damage dealers too, as it turns her lane into a kill lane. Clearly, she does well with a lot of champs!

2. Draven
The next champion on our list is Draven! Draven is one of the most dominant ADCs in the game. He is known for his early aggression and his ability to constantly bully the enemy to get early kills. He is one of the strongest champions early thanks to his Q which gives him extra damage, and it helps when it comes to trading.
Draven needs to gain an early lead and snowball from there, so you need to play aggressive. As Draven, you’ll want to bully and harass whenever the enemy ADC tries to last hit minions, or when the enemy Support walks forward to get stacks. Doing this over and over again will help you gain a health advantage, which could allow you to get an early all-in.
If you want to master Draven, you’re going to have to play a lot of games in normal draft before heading into Ranked as he is very difficult to play for beginners.

3. Tristana
The next champion on our list is Tristana! This Yordle can be extremely difficult to play against when she has a few levels under her belt as she can constantly all-in the enemy when she has a few points in her E and a couple items too.
If you want to play Tristana, you need to be quite aggressive and look to land autos on the enemy quite frequently. You’ll also want to keep the minion wave slightly closer to your side of the map so you can constantly jump on the enemy with your W and trade with your E. Tristana is best paired with aggressive Supports so she can snowball, but she also works great with utility Supports and other Yordles like Lulu who can give her a shield and other buffs.
Tristana is one of the easier champions on our list, so make sure you give her a go if you haven’t tried her yet this Season!

4. Hwei
The next champion is another AP champion. His name his Hwei! He is one of the newer champions on our list, and ever since his release, he has been quite a consistent Mid and ADC champion. He has good damage output and can be a major carry if he gets a few kills early on.
While he may not be the strongest champion in the laning phase, given some time to farm up and get some levels under his belt, he can be really potent thanks to his damage output. In team fights, this is amplified as he has AOE abilities. Oh, let’s not forget that he has so many combos that many players don’t even know what he does or what to expect- which you can use to your advantage!
Hwei is another AP champion and is one of the hardest champions in the game as he has so many combos. But, if you put in the practice you can play him in both the mid and bottom lane (in both ADC and Support!) He works best with champions who can either empower him to deal extra damage, or champions with all-in as he can follow-up and deal damage.

5. Caitlyn
The fifth champion on our list is Caitlyn. She is a very strong laner who can bully and harass the enemy whenever they walk up to farm or last hit. Caitlyn’s range is so large that she can keep bullying the enemy throughout the laning phase. Another benefit to picking Caitlyn is that she can get the early turret plates a ton of gold by poking and pushing the enemy under their tower.
One of the main benefits of playing Caitlyn is that she can get you a ton of extra gold and help you open up the map. She can easily snowball in the lane and get a ton of kills: making it really difficult for your lane opponent to survive and pick up farm. After pushing the enemy under their tower and getting the turret plates, you can rotate around the map and take further objectives quickly.
Caitlyn is my go-to ADC as she is so easy to play. She is fantastic with every Support. She loves engage Supports as they can tower dive and get picks, she loves utility champions that can empower her like Nami or Lulu as they increase her damage output, and she also works well with damage dealers like Zyra. The two of them can push and poke the enemy and earn a lot of gold!
