Draven is the most banned ADC in patch 26.20, banned in 17.7% of Emerald+ games. The ban rate counts every game in which the champion was banned, whatever role its players would have taken, so this list keeps to champions that play at least half of their games as ADCs.
| Champion | Ban rate | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Draven | 17.7% | B |
| Caitlyn | 17.6% | A |
| Tristana | 9.7% | S+ |
| Jinx | 7.0% | S |
| Twitch | 6.6% | B |
How the ADC Tiers Are Made
The tiers come from games, not opinions. A champion gets a ADC tier when it has at least 50 games in the role and plays at least 10% of its games there. Its win rate, pulled toward the role average when it has few games, its pick rate and its ban rate give a score; the score's place among the other ADCs gives the tier, from S+ (top 3%) to D (bottom 15%).
Every row shows its games and a confidence mark: high when the win rate is known within 1.5 points, medium within 3 points. The full method and the other roles are on the LoL tier list.
