SoloQ Patch 25.12 ADC Tierlist - Lots of changes -> Explaining all and whos good for what reason 🔽
Zeri buffs are massive combined with buffs a few patches ago making this champ high prio
-> Tristana is a good counter and therefore also moves up in the list
MF is just the best prio+drake generator in the game right now and only really falls off if enemy has tanks
She still deals really good damage vs anyone else in late
Senna nerfs dont actually matter that much as you get most of your souls from guaranteed sources aka trading the enemy or kills/ your support lasthits cannon
Senna used to be OP on ADC with just 8% soul gain on lasthits now its 10% (14% was just absurd)
Karthus and Varus are just like MF lane stompers and drake stackers (You have a 90% winrate on gaining drake soul)
Karthus R is also the best ultimate for SoloQ in the game
Jinx sucks into poke but if she gets through lane is one of the best solocarries, shes also decent vs Zeri as she wins lane by outranging and pushing and later also outscales her
Ziggs is good vs any lanebullies or champs that struggle into range (Zeri, MF, Trist, Varus, Senna)
Ashe Jhin Sivir Ezreal etc are all good picks to help your team with prio but provide a little less than Varus imo
Who does Kaisa counter? The counter tier is not necessarily about countering specific champs and rather about not being countered
Let me explain this with an example -> Kaisa struggles in hard lanes/ where she gets outranged especially if your support locks an enchanter rather than engage, so spots you want to pick Kaisa in are when you know she cant get poked out very hard and actually gets to all-in people with engage supports
-> You dont want to counter someone in specific most of the time just make sure you dont get countered yourself
Shes pretty good vs Zeri too!
Xayah is good vs champions that run into you or have specific ults that are good to dodge (Naut R, Vi R, Malphite R, Zed R)
Nilah is extremely good vs autoattackers and I like picking her especially into rengar, bc that makes the whole champ unable to deal damage vs you/ your team
Kog sucks vs Poke/Hardengage that he cant survive, so hes pretty great if enemy has low engage/range (vs Braum, Taric type supports) hes decent vs Zeri too
Smolder is good if he can freely scale I usually pick him in easy lanes (Zeri, Jhin, Kai'Sa, Nilah, Xayah)
Samira is good vs low cc comps (so your ult cant get canceled but sucks vs anything that can interrupt you a lot, Alistar is horror for example, its rare you get a good spot for this champ bc you usually pick ADC too early in SoloQ)
Mel hardcounters Pyke (can reflect both stuns back on him and block ult DMG) and in general does good vs most ADCs that dont hard outscale + outrange her (Senna can become really hard as you also cant reflect her autos)
Yasuo is good vs any low mobility + low range ADCs, he kinda sucks vs Zeri, Vayne, Senna, Samira, Nilah imo -> they either kite him or attack through his Windwall
Kalista was already not the greatest pick and got nerfed again -> o7 💀
Vayne is decent vs Zeri -> one tier up
Aphelios buffs dont matter much imo, champ still struggles with being way too reliant on your team to peel you / set you up
