ADC Guide – How to Carry as Bot Lane

The ADC (Attack Damage Carry) role requires precise positioning, farming discipline, and teamfight awareness. Here is how to master it.

ADC Fundamentals

  • CS is king — 10 CS = 1 kill. Never stop farming.
  • Positioning — Always attack from max range and stay behind your frontline in teamfights.
  • Power spikes — Know when your champion is strong (usually 2-3 items) and force fights around those timings.

Best ADC Champions This Patch

Crit-based ADCs dominate the current meta. Champions with strong laning phases and good teamfight ultimate abilities are top picks.

Itemisation Guide

Most ADCs follow a crit build: Infinity Edge + Kraken Slayer + Mortal Reminder is a strong core. Adapt your third and fourth items based on whether you need armor pen, attack speed, or lifesteal.

Laning Phase

Play safely early and avoid trades you cannot win. Focus on last-hitting under tower if you are behind. Your support dictates the lane tempo — follow their lead on engage or poke patterns.
