January 23, 2026ADC Smurf Tier List Season 16: The Hard Carry Guide
ADC is the Role of Gods.
They say ADC is weak in Season 16. They are wrong. ADC is weak if you miss your skillshots. ADC is weak if you can't kite. But if you have hands? You are the highest DPS class in the game. You are the inevitable end.
In low elo, teams do not peel for you. You must peel for yourself. That is why this tier list ignores immobile turrets like Ashe or Kog'Maw. To smurf as ADC, you need mobility, resets, and burst.
S-Tier: The Hard Carries
Samira
The Desert Rose
Multi-Kill 10/10
Style 10/10
Self Peel 8/10
Why She Is God Tier
Samira is not an ADC; she is a spellcaster assassin. Her W (Blade Whirl) blocks all projectiles. This means Blitzcrank, Thresh, and Nautilus literally cannot touch you if you have reaction time. In big teamfights, her E resets on takedowns, allowing you to dash through the entire enemy team like Katarina.
Low elo players panic when you dash IN. ADCs are "supposed" to run away. Samira wants to be in melee range. This pure aggression catches everyone off guard.
🩸 The S-Rank Combo
Auto -> Q -> Auto -> E -> Q -> W -> R. You need to weave auto-attacks between every ability to stack your Style. Do not just mash buttons. Rhythm is key. Once you hit S-Rank, press R and watch their health bars disappear.
Draven
The Glorious Executioner
Damage 11/10
Snowball 10/10
Why He Is God Tier
Draven is the only champion in the game who can come back to lane with a BF Sword at 4 minutes. His passive (League of Draven) gives him massive bonus gold on kills. If you get one kill, you are ahead. If you get two kills, the game is over.
He wins every trade at Level 1. Walk up, throw an axe, catch it, throw another. You deal double the damage of any other ADC. Smurfing is about ending games fast, and Draven ends games faster than anyone.
💰 The Cash In
If you have 300 stacks and die, you lose 75% of them. Playing safe is not an option. You MUST kill them. beg your jungler for a dive. Once you cash out, buy Bloodthirster and 1v2.
Twitch
The Plague Rat
Stealth 10/10
Teamfight 10/10
Why He Is God Tier
Twitch exploits the #1 weakness of low elo: Object Permanence. If they can't see you, they think you don't exist. You can walk right past the enemy support in stealth (Q), stand behind the enemy ADC, and open up with R (Spray and Pray).
He is also a Jungler in disguise. After every back, walk Mid. Stealth into the lane. Kill the Mid laner. Then go Bot. You create pressure on the entire map just by existing.
🧀 The Level 1 Cheese
Do not leash. Walk to lane. Stealth immediately. Wait for them to walk up to minions. Open on them with Hail of Blades. You burn their flashes or get a kill 80% of the time.
A-Tier: The Playmakers
Kai'Sa
The Daughter of the Void
The best ADC for self-peel. Her E stealth and R shield let you survive assassins that would one-shot other ADCs. High burst and adaptability.

Lucian
The Purifier
Oppressive early game. Pair with a Nami or Milio and the lane is unplayable for the enemy. Falls off if you don't snowball, so play fast.
Lucian Smurf Guide →
Tristana
The Yordle Gunner
Jump in, bomb, jump out (or jump again). Tristana takes towers faster than anyone. If you kill your lane, you get plates. If you get plates, you win.

B-Tier: The Scalers
Jinx
The Loose Cannon
Get Excited (Passive) is the best teamfight passive in the game. But she is immobile. If you have no peel, you die. Situationally S-tier if you have a Lulu/Janna duo.
Jinx Smurf Guide →
Vayne
The Night Hunter
The ultimate tank shredder. High skill cap, high reward. If you survive lane phase (which is hard 1v2), you carry.
Vayne Smurf Guide →
Ezreal
The Prodigal Explorer
The safest ADC. E (Arcane Shift) fixes bad positioning. Good for when you want to chill and carry, but lacks the raw 1v5 potential of Samira.

The Smurf ADC Manifesto
Rule #1: You Are Bait
The enemy team (zed, malphite, vi) will use EVERYTHING on you. Good. Stay out of vision. Let them ult your support. Then walk in and clean up. Patience is your strongest stat.
Rule #2: Hit Closest
Do not dive the backline. Hit the tank in front of you. If you walk past the tank to hit the ADC, you die. Your job is to deal consistent damage, not burst damage.
Rule #3: 10 CS/Min
Kills are luxury. CS is salary. If you have 10 CS a minute, you will be a full item ahead of everyone else by 25 minutes. Take jungle camps. Take mid waves. Be a vacuum.
