This means Ezreal, Lucian and Kai’sa are the strongest ADCs in the game as of patch 8.11. Players no longer find much value in champions like Caitlyn, Tristana and Jinx. The new items like Stormrazor and changes to other crit-based items make it difficult for champions that rely on crit as their main source of damage. If you keep up with the League of Legends meta, you’ve most likely noticed a few things. The strongest supports, champions like Alistar or Rakan who can instantly start a fight, haven’t changed. So what happened to the rest of the traditional ADC champion pool that makes them so unappealing? Even mages like Ziggs and Vladimir are showing their faces.
