ADC Tier List Maker | Rank Every Champion Your Way (Free 2026 Updated)

Last updated: 16 July 2026 By Adam Levign

You just lost lane again. Maybe it was a bad matchup, maybe your support roamed at the worst possible second, or maybe the champion you picked just isn’t good right now and nobody told you. So you open a browser tab and type “ADC tier list,” expecting a straight answer. What you usually get instead is a wall of win rate percentages with no explanation of what any of it means for you specifically.

I’ve made this exact search mid-loading-screen, trying to figure out if my pick was the problem or I just got outplayed. The stats sites never answer that. They give you a number, not a reason, and definitely not a place to write down your own opinion.

This page works differently. There’s a tier list template below preloaded with every current ADC champion, images already added, ready to drag into tiers the second the page loads. No uploading, no account, no signup, the same free tier list maker that powers every template on this site. You can use it to reflect the current meta, your own personal picks, or an argument you’re having with a friend about who’s actually good right now.

What ADC Means and Why People Rank It

ADC stands for Attack Damage Carry, sometimes just called “marksman” or “bot lane.” It’s the role in League of Legends built around dealing consistent, scaling physical damage from a safe distance, usually paired with a support champion in bot lane during the laning phase. Early game, most ADCs are fragile and rely on their support to survive. By the late game, a well-farmed ADC often does more raw damage in a teamfight than anyone else on the team.

That swing, from vulnerable early to carry-the-game late, is exactly why ADC tier lists get argued over so much. A champion that feels weak at fifteen minutes can feel unstoppable at thirty, and a champion that stomps early can fall off completely once tanks start building armor. Ranking ADCs isn’t just “who wins the most games,” it’s a running debate about risk, scaling, and how forgiving a champion is to play under real conditions, not lab conditions.

Try the Interactive ADC Tier List Maker

The tier list template on this page comes preloaded with every current ADC champion, from long-time staples like Caitlyn and Jinx to newer additions like Nilah and Yunara. Every image is already added and sitting in a pool below the tier rows, so you can start dragging immediately.

How to Use This Template

Here’s how it works, no different than explaining it to a friend over a call:

1. Drag any champion from the pool into whichever tier row fits your ranking.
2. Don’t like the default S/A/B/C/D/F setup? Add or remove tiers using the board controls, tier lists don’t have to follow that structure.
3. Rename any tier. Swap “S Tier” for “Insta-lock” or “A Tier” for “Comfort Picks,” whatever makes sense for how you actually think about ADCs.
4. Change the background color and text color of any tier so your ranking is visually organized the way you want it.
5. Reorder tiers by dragging them up or down if you want your list to read top to bottom differently.
6. Use the reset button any time you want to start over from a blank board.

None of this requires creating an account. You can close the tab and come back later, or finish the list in one sitting and move straight to sharing it.

How Tier Rankings Actually Work (S+ to F Explained)

Most tier list sites throw a number range at you (something like “64.35 to 100.00 equals S+ tier”) and leave it there. That’s a scoring formula, not an explanation. Here’s what the tiers actually mean for a player trying to decide who to pick:

The important part: these tiers describe the current patch, not the champion’s ceiling. A champion sitting in C tier this patch can be an S tier pick two patches from now once the meta shifts back.

Why ADC Tiers Shift Every Patch

This is the part almost nobody explains. ADC tier movement isn’t random, it usually traces back to one of a few things:

• Item changes. A mythic or legendary item rework can quietly boost or gut an entire subset of ADCs that relied on it. Crit-based champions and on-hit champions are affected very differently by the same patch.
• Jungle pathing trends. When junglers start prioritizing bot lane ganks earlier, squishy, immobile ADCs suffer even if nothing about the champion itself changed.
• Support meta shifts. ADC tier lists are tied to support tier lists more than people realize. An engage-heavy support meta favors ADCs who can follow up hard; a poke-heavy support meta favors long-range ADCs who can play from safety.
• New champion releases. Every new ADC entering the roster changes matchups across the board, sometimes making an old pick worse simply because it now loses lane to something that didn’t exist a month ago.

Understanding this is more useful than memorizing a snapshot ranking, because it tells you what to watch for instead of just what to copy. Riot publishes the specifics behind each of these shifts in its official patch notes, which is worth a skim before you lock in a tier ranking for the current patch.

Customizing Your ADC Tier List

The board isn’t locked into “rank by win rate.” A few ways people actually use the customization features:

• Split your board into a “comfort picks” tier and a “meta picks” tier, so you can see at a glance where your favorites land versus what’s statistically strongest right now.
• Use the Create button to open the built-in design editor and draw directly on a champion’s image, useful for marking up a pick with a note like “avoid into tank supports” or circling a build path.
• Add your own custom items using the pen, shape, and text tools if you want to include something the template doesn’t cover, like a specific rune page or a matchup note as its own tile.
• Set tier colors that match how you think about risk, green for safe picks, red for high-risk high-reward champions, whatever system makes sense to you.

This is the part that separates an opinion from a stats table. Nobody else’s ADC tier list lets you actually build your own version of it.

Sharing and Comparing Your ADC Rankings

Once your list is finished, you don’t need an account to do anything with it. Download it straight to your device as an image if you just want a screenshot to send in a group chat. Or generate a shareable link, which opens a page with a download button, social share buttons for platforms like Reddit, X, Facebook, and WhatsApp, and an emoji reaction bar so friends can react to specific placements without writing a full comment.

That same shared page includes a comment box, so if someone in your Discord strongly disagrees with where you put Nilah, they can say so directly on the list itself. There’s also an embed code available, so if you write about League of Legends on a blog or forum, you can drop the interactive tier list directly into a post instead of a static screenshot.

Building a Bigger ADC Roster Fast (AI Import)

The ADC roster keeps growing every time a new champion is released, and manually uploading dozens of images gets tedious fast. The site has a prompt built for this: copy it into any AI tool, tell that AI you want “current ADC champions in League of Legends” ranked, and it returns a block of code. Import that code back into the tier list maker and it builds a template with the relevant items already added, ready to drag into tiers.

This is most useful if you want to start from a completely custom roster (say, only hyper-carry ADCs, or only champions released in the last year) rather than the default preloaded set. The same import method works for building templates outside League of Legends too, it’s the same tool behind templates like the Genshin Impact characters tier list elsewhere on this site.

Something Missing or Outdated? Report It

League patches move fast, and rosters change with them. If a champion is missing from the template, an image looks wrong, or a recently reworked champion isn’t reflected yet, every template on this site includes a report option. Flagging it takes a few seconds and helps keep the template accurate for the next person who lands on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best ADC right now? There isn’t a single permanent answer, it changes by patch. Champions like Caitlyn, Jhin, and Jinx have stayed consistently strong across recent patches, but the specific S-tier list shifts as items and supports change. Check a live stats source like U.GG for exact current numbers, then build your own ranking here based on what actually fits how you play.

What makes a champion S-tier vs A-tier? S-tier champions are typically strong across a wide range of matchups and forgiving to play, while A-tier champions are still strong but usually have a harder counter or need a specific team comp to fully shine.

Do ADC tier lists apply to all ranks? Not exactly. A champion that dominates in lower ranks because of simple, high-impact abilities might perform differently in high elo, where players punish mistakes and coordinate counterplay more consistently. Most stats sites let you filter by rank for this reason.

How often should I check an ADC tier list? Roughly once per patch, since that’s when item and balance changes typically land. Checking daily usually isn’t necessary unless you’re specifically tracking a hotfix.

Final Word

A stats table can tell you a win rate. It can’t tell you what you actually think, and it definitely won’t let you argue about it with your friends. The core idea here is simple: use the numbers as a starting point, then build the list that reflects your own picks, your own comfort tiers, and your own reasoning for why a champion belongs where it does.

To recap: the template above already has every current ADC champion loaded in, ready to drag into tiers. You can rename tiers, recolor them, draw on champion images, add your own extras, and reset the board anytime. Once it’s finished, download it, share the link, or embed it somewhere your friends will actually see it. No account, no signup, just a board and your own honest ranking.

Head back up to the template and start dragging. It only takes a minute to see where your mains actually land.
