Patch 10.13 has hit the live servers and there are some interesting changes to for the bot lane position. The Conqueror and Death's Dance nerfs could once again shake up the ADC meta.
Patch 10.13 has hit the live servers and so did the new changes related to the bot lane. Death's Dance's post-mitigation damage storing got reduced from 20 to 10 per cent for ranged users.
The maximum number of Conqueror stacks got increased from 10 to 12 which means that ranged champions will have to auto-attack two additional times to use the full potential of the rune.
All these changes could shift the AD carry meta and that's why we prepared a list of the strongest champions you should play in that position.
S tier:
- Ezreal
- Kai'Sa
Ezreal and Kai'Sa won't get affected by the Death's Dance changes considering that the item isn't the part of their build which means that they will still be able to dominate the bot lane meta in this patch.
Riot Games
A tier:
- Xayah
- Aphelios
- Vayne
- Draven
- Caitlyn
- Miss Fortune
The Conqueror and Death's Dance changes together with some direct nerfs will surely affect Aphelios' current state in the game but we don't think they're significant enough to push him out of the A tier. He will still be able to hard-carry once he has the right guns.
Riot Games
B tier:
- Jinx
- Cassiopeia
- Ashe
- Senna
- Kog'Maw
- Twitch
- Varus
Kog'Maw got some sweet AP ratio buffs which surely won't hurt his place in the bot lane. Increasing the AP damage on Caustic Spittle (Q) and Living Artillery (R) means that we will surely see some AP Kog'Maw shenanigans in the bot lane. He currently holds one of the highest win rates for the ADC role with 51.91 per cent.
Riot Games
C tier:
- Sivir
- Kalista
- Tristana
- Veigar
- Ziggs
- Yasuo
- Lucian
Lucian has seen some small buffs to his Piercing Light (Q) range which probably won't be enough for him to escape the bottom of the win rate charts.
