Our latest ADC tier list breaks down the best bot laners in Patch 10.6 for League of Legends.

The bot lane meta of League of Legends was left largely unchanged in Patch 10.6, but there were still some individual champions that got changes. We look to see who is the king (or queen) of bot lane in our Patch 10.6 ADC tier list.

Observations

More from Blog of Legends

With this nerf to Senna’s Passive, she has officially fallen out of the meta category. While she remains on our ADC tier list in Patch 10.6 she is now in the F tier and suffered the biggest drop to her rating of any ADC on our list.
Yasuo, though not meant to be played as an ADC, got the biggest jump in ranking on our tier list. He is now in the A tier, up from the B tier in the last patch.
Once again, Heimerdinger has the highest win rate in the bot lane at 54.2%, but he continues to only be played by a small collection of players. For champions with a significant pick rate (over 5%), Miss Fortune has the highest win rate at 52.3% with a 23.3% pick rate.
And, for the second patch in a row, Kai’Sa has the worst win rate (46.9%), but she also has a high pick rate. win rate but a robust 27.8% pick rate. However, Tristana has the second-worst win rate, but a pick rate below 2%, indicating that even her small group of mains are struggling to find success.

Buffed Champions

Draven

The small buff to the movement speed boost on his Blood Rush didn’t seem to do much in the way of helping Draven. He improved slightly on our ADC tier list but remains low-B tier with a win rate just over 51%.

Nerfed Champions

Aphelios

Another round of nerfs to Aphelios, who got nerfs to the damage on his Severum, Infernum, and Crescendum in Patch 10.6. The end result was fairly significant, as he dropped from A+ tier down to low-B tier in this ADC tier list.

Senna

As we noted above, the nerf in Patch 10.6 knocked Senna into the F tier. She took a major hit to her Passive’s AD per soul and the cooldown on her weakened soul, meaning she’s getting less of them and getting less AD out of this. Given how far she’s fallen in our ADC tier list I wouldn’t be surprised if Riot walks this nerf back a bit.

Methodology: These rankings were determined by finding the average standardized score of a champion from nine different tier lists from sites around the internet. This is done by assigning a certain weight to each different score, rank, or grade given by these sites (for instance, both a “Diamond” rating and “A” grade would be worth a 90 score). The standardized score is then determined by looking at the average score given to all champions in every role by that site as well as the standard deviation of scores given (so that sites that give out more high grades will not have their As be worth the same as a site that gives out very few high grades).

The full, underlying data can be found here. This link also includes the full listing of how the scores are assigned. Champions must be rated by at least half of the sites audited in order to qualify for our tier list.
