Open an unfiltered bot-lane win-rate chart in November 2026 and mages hold the top thirteen spots. Strip out every Ability Power Carry (APC) and melee skirmisher across Baron Buff’s 10,320,222 Gold+ Ranked Solo/Duo matches (September 25 to November 8, 2026), and a completely different hierarchy takes over. Classic right-click marksmen still climb past 55% to 57% win rates whenever their support supplies the exact tool their kit lacks.

Every pairing below clears at least 1,000 Gold+ games among the 1,108 true marksman + support combinations in our six-week dataset. Each card tracks four numbers: overall win rate, duo synergy (how much the pair beats both champions’ solo expectations), 15-minute 2v2 lane gold difference, and match volume. First, though, it helps to answer a question League of Legends players have glossed over since Season 1: why do we call the role 'ADC' when we really mean archers and gunners?

## Why 'ADC' is a misnomer (and why marksmen still own bot lane)

ADC stands for Attack Damage Carry. Taken literally, that label should fit anyone who buys physical damage items and turns late-game fights into a blender, including sword-swinging duelists like Master Yi, Irelia, or Yasuo. Call 'ADC' in champion select and lock in Master Yi anyway, and four strangers will ask to report you before minions spawn. In League shorthand, 'ADC' almost never means just any Attack Damage carry. It means a ranged Marksman: an archer, gunner, crossblade thrower, or bio-arcane cannon firing from 500 to 650 units away.

Why don’t melee AD carries run bottom lane by default? Put Master Yi (175 attack range) or Irelia (200 range) into a 2v2 lane and the geometry turns ugly before level 3. Every time a melee fighter steps up to last-hit a caster minion, they walk inside two basic-attack ranges and four enemy spell cooldowns at once. Paying half your health bar for six creeps is not a lane plan. Only melee kits with built-in rule-breakers survive that four-player crossfire: Yasuo deletes projectiles with Wind Wall (W) behind his Way of the Wanderer passive shield, while Nilah dodges basic attacks inside Jubilant Veil (W) and recoups shared minion XP through Joy Unending. Almost everyone else bringing a sword to bot lane gets poked back to the fountain before an all-in window ever opens.

Ranged marksmen solve all three structural problems of bottom lane at once. Range lets them farm and trade from behind their own minion wave without bleeding health for every cannon creep. Gold scaling covers the shared-XP penalty: splitting waves with a support delays levels 6 and 11, yet marksmen multiply damage through completed items (Attack Damage, Attack Speed, Critical Strike Chance, and On-Hit passives) rather than spell ranks. Finally, mid-game fights around Dragon, Baron Nashor, and outer turrets demand zero-cooldown physical DPS that can stand behind a frontline and melt tanks or structures without diving into five enemies.

## The top five ADC + Support duos in November 2026

Filtering out APCs (ranks #1 through #13 overall) and melee carries like Yasuo and Nilah from our 1,420 qualified Gold+ bot-lane duos leaves 1,108 marksman pairings. Look at the top five and one funny pattern jumps right off the page: all five average negative lane gold at 15 minutes (as do nine of the top ten), yet they crush games anyway behind two warden tanks (Taric and Braum) and one stubborn chronomancer (Zilean).

[![Taric](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/44.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/taric/)

### [Kog'Maw](https://baronbuff.com/champions/kogmaw/) + [Taric](https://baronbuff.com/champions/taric/)

#1

**Win rate:** 57.09% · **Duo synergy:** +1.83% · **Lane gold at 15 min:** -249g · **Gold+ games:** 1,361

**Why the duo clicks:** Kog’Maw’s Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) shreds any frontline in League as long as the void puppy stays alive while standing practically still. Taric turns him into an armored turret with Bastion (W) and Starlight’s Touch (Q), punishes divers with point-blank Dazzle (E) stuns off Kog’Maw’s position, and buys 2.5 seconds of total invulnerability with Cosmic Radiance (R).

**How to play the lane:** Give up early push cleanly (-249g average at 15 minutes) and farm near your turret line. Once Kog’Maw finishes Guinsoo’s Rageblade and Taric has his ultimate, walk into every Dragon or mid-wave fight together and dare the enemy dive to swing into Cosmic Radiance.

[![Kog'Maw](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/96.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/kogmaw/)
+
[![Zilean](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/26.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/zilean/)

### [Kog'Maw](https://baronbuff.com/champions/kogmaw/) + [Zilean](https://baronbuff.com/champions/zilean/)

#2

**Win rate:** 55.64% · **Duo synergy:** +1.33% · **Lane gold at 15 min:** -470g · **Gold+ games:** 2,890

**Why the duo clicks:** Every assassin and bruiser on the map wants to Flash on Kog’Maw first. Zilean ruins their dive with a 99% Time Warp (E) speed boost or slow, double Time Bomb (Q) zone stuns via Rewind (W), and Chronoshift (R) to bring Kog’Maw back firing at full speed.

**How to play the lane:** Treat the first 14 minutes as a survival tax (-470g at 15 minutes) while Zilean’s Time In A Bottle passive keeps XP on schedule. From two items onward, tether Time Warp (E) onto Kog’Maw so he can kite forward at 600+ range with a second health bar in reserve.

[![Yunara](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/804.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/yunara/)
+
[![Braum](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/201.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/braum/)

### [Yunara](https://baronbuff.com/champions/yunara/) + [Braum](https://baronbuff.com/champions/braum/)

#3

**Win rate:** 55.63% · **Duo synergy:** +4.19% · **Lane gold at 15 min:** -87g · **Gold+ games:** 31,657

**Why the duo clicks:** Solo, Yunara sits just below even at a 49.55% bot-lane win rate. Pair her with Braum and the duo surges to 55.63% across 31,657 games, posting the highest synergy boost (+4.19%) in our top ten. When Yunara activates Cultivation of Spirit (Q) and Transcend One’s Self (R), her rapid attack cadence triggers Braum’s four-stack Concussive Blows stun almost instantly while Unbreakable (E) swallows return fire.

**How to play the lane:** Play even through early waves (-87g at 15 minutes) and snap onto any target Braum tags with Winter’s Bite (Q). At level 6, chain Glacial Fissure (R) into Yunara’s empowered Arc of Ruin (W) laser to lock down both bot laners.

[![Braum](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/201.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/braum/)

### [Twitch](https://baronbuff.com/champions/twitch/) + [Braum](https://baronbuff.com/champions/braum/)

#4

**Win rate:** 55.55% · **Duo synergy:** +2.27% · **Lane gold at 15 min:** -224g · **Gold+ games:** 12,320

**Why the duo clicks:** When Twitch opens from Ambush (Q) with bonus attack speed and piercing Spray and Pray (R) bolts, he stacks Braum’s Concussive Blows across the frontline in a heartbeat. Braum’s Stand Behind Me (W) leap and Unbreakable (E) shield keep him untouched while he empties his crossbow.

**How to play the lane:** Concede early wave priority (-224g at 15 minutes) instead of forcing coinflip level-2 fights. After first recall and level 6, have Twitch stealth into lane behind the wave while Braum leaps to an allied minion with Stand Behind Me into Winter’s Bite for a guaranteed stun.

[![Zeri](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/221.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/zeri/)
+
[![Braum](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/201.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/braum/)

### [Zeri](https://baronbuff.com/champions/zeri/) + [Braum](https://baronbuff.com/champions/braum/)

#5

**Win rate:** 55.44% · **Duo synergy:** +2.13% · **Lane gold at 15 min:** -65g · **Gold+ games:** 7,500

**Why the duo clicks:** Zeri thrives in extended, high-tempo fights where Lightning Crash (R) stacks movement speed and chains electricity off Burst Fire (Q). Braum’s front-to-back peel, bonus resistances from Stand Behind Me (W), and Concussive Blows stun give Zeri the space to charge Living Battery and kite every bruiser.

**How to play the lane:** Farm steadily through lane (-65g at 15 minutes) and hold Spark Surge (E) to follow Braum’s Q or dodge an enemy hook. Take over 3v3 river skirmishes at level 6, where terrain lets Zeri’s Ultrashock Laser (W) and wall-ride shine.

## Ranks #6 to #10: On-hit machine guns and reset hyper-carries

Ranks #6 through #10 prove how hard on-hit and reset hyper-carries run November 2026 solo queue once paired with a dedicated bodyguard. Only one ruthless early kill lane crashes the party at #7.

[![Kog'Maw](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/96.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/kogmaw/)
+
[![Braum](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/201.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/braum/)

### [Kog'Maw](https://baronbuff.com/champions/kogmaw/) + [Braum](https://baronbuff.com/champions/braum/)

#6

**Win rate:** 55.25% · **Duo synergy:** +0.69% · **Lane gold at 15 min:** -204g · **Gold+ games:** 5,464

**Why the duo clicks:** Braum puts a physical wall between Kog’Maw and enemy skillshots with Unbreakable (E), turning Bio-Arcane Barrage’s (W) attack speed into fast four-stack stuns whenever a diver steps inside 600+ range.

**How to play the lane:** Absorb early pressure (-204g at 15 minutes) and let waves bounce toward your turret. With a few points in W, anyone clipped by Winter’s Bite (Q) eats a stun plus three seconds of percent-health magic damage.

[![Kalista](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/429.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/kalista/)
+
[![Taric](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/44.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/taric/)

### [Kalista](https://baronbuff.com/champions/kalista/) + [Taric](https://baronbuff.com/champions/taric/)

#7

**Win rate:** 55.18% · **Duo synergy:** +3.29% · **Lane gold at 15 min:** +415g · **Gold+ games:** 4,170

**Why the duo clicks:** Kalista sits at a 49.30% overall win rate in Gold+, yet jumps nearly six points alongside Taric. Martial Poise hops reposition Taric’s Bastion (W) stun mid-air, Sentinel (W) adds percent-health magic burst, and Fate’s Call (R) hurls Taric straight onto the enemy carry for an undodgeable knockup into Dazzle (E).

**How to play the lane:** Unlike the scaling hyper-carries around them, this duo bullies from level 2 (+415g at 15 minutes). Stack spears for Rend (E) whenever Taric steps forward with Dazzle, then combine Fate’s Call and Cosmic Radiance at level 6 to dive turrets on command.

[![Kog'Maw](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/96.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/kogmaw/)
+
[![Sona](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/37.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/sona/)

### [Kog'Maw](https://baronbuff.com/champions/kogmaw/) + [Sona](https://baronbuff.com/champions/sona/)

#8

**Win rate:** 55.10% · **Duo synergy:** +0.81% · **Lane gold at 15 min:** -499g · **Gold+ games:** 2,831

**Why the duo clicks:** Sona hits her two- and three-item spikes right alongside Kog’Maw. Aria of Perseverance (W) heals and shields him through poke, Song of Celerity (E) gives the immobile hyper-carry the footwork to kite, and Crescendo (R) stops divers cold.

**How to play the lane:** Stay tucked behind your wave before 15 minutes (-499g average) and skip river fights without your jungler. Once mid-game grouping starts, move hip-to-hip so Sona’s auras cover Kog’Maw permanently.

[![Kog'Maw](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/96.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/kogmaw/)
+
[![Renata Glasc](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/888.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/renata/)

### [Kog'Maw](https://baronbuff.com/champions/kogmaw/) + [Renata Glasc](https://baronbuff.com/champions/renata/)

#9

**Win rate:** 54.92% · **Duo synergy:** +1.69% · **Lane gold at 15 min:** -352g · **Gold+ games:** 1,930

**Why the duo clicks:** Renata Glasc’s Bailout (W) pours ramping attack and movement speed into Kog’Maw, reviving him if he scores a takedown before burning out. Layer Hostile Takeover (R) on top to make enemy bruisers maul each other, buying five free seconds of Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) damage.

**How to play the lane:** Yield early lane priority (-352g at 15 minutes) and hold Handshake (Q) strictly to interrupt hooks or dashes. Save Bailout for the instant assassins commit their burst onto Kog’Maw so he can stand still and shoot his way to the revive.

[![Jinx](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/222.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/jinx/)
+
[![Braum](https://baronbuff.com/cdn/lol/champion-tiles/201.jpg)](https://baronbuff.com/champions/braum/)

### [Jinx](https://baronbuff.com/champions/jinx/) + [Braum](https://baronbuff.com/champions/braum/)

#10

**Win rate:** 54.88% · **Duo synergy:** +1.37% · **Lane gold at 15 min:** -448g · **Gold+ games:** 46,044

**Why the duo clicks:** With 46,044 Gold+ matches, Jinx + Braum is the highest-volume duo in the top ten. Switcheroo! (Q) minigun autos stack Concussive Blows fast, Flame Chompers! (E) chains right onto Braum’s stun for three seconds of lockdown, and a single takedown fires Get Excited! to clean up the fight.

**How to play the lane:** Accept a modest early deficit (-448g at 15 minutes) while farming from range with Fishbones rockets. In mid-game teamfights, keep Braum planted between Jinx and the enemy frontline until her first reset triggers.

Want options beyond Kog’Maw and Braum? Five more marksman pairings sit right outside the top ten above a 54.3% win rate. Xayah + Blitzcrank leads the next wave at #11 (54.60%, +100g at 15m across 28,253 games), followed by three Sivir lanes: Sivir + Amumu (#12 at 54.56%), Sivir + Leona (#13 at 54.49%), and Sivir + Braum (#14 at 54.37%), with Samira + Taric right behind at #15 (54.35%). Even in our earlier November 3, 2026 5.67M-match snapshot (which carries a known 462-win historical tally offset pending a raw-match rebuild), Sivir + Taric (56.19%), Twitch + Braum (55.97%), and Yunara + Braum (55.64%) led the marksman board.

## Solo tier lists lie in bot lane: why marksmen need support synergy

In top or mid lane, locking in a high-win-rate solo pick gives you direct control over wave states and 1v1 trades. Bot lane never works that cleanly. Marksmen are built with deliberate blind spots: zero mobility on Kog’Maw and Jinx, short 500–525 range on Sivir, Kalista, and Samira, or slow fight ramp-up on Yunara and Zeri. Even massive early lane gold collapses without a compatible support plan. Draven + Pyke leads all 1,108 marksman duos at +1,733g at 15 minutes across 18,446 Gold+ matches, yet wins only 49.60% of its games because one lost shutdown leaves both champions without frontline or peel.

That gap is why Baron Buff’s draft engine weights bot-lane duo synergy alongside individual champion strength. Across 10.32 million Gold+ matches, swapping a marksman’s support routinely swings their win rate by 10 to 14 percentage points. Zeri climbs to 55.44% with Braum (+2.13% synergy) and craters to 41.44% with Mel support (-3.65% synergy), a 14.00-point drop. Yunara jumps from a 49.55% role average to 55.63% with Braum (+4.19% synergy) and sinks to 42.38% with Mel. Even classic enchanters backfire when kits clash: attaching Yuumi to immobile Kog’Maw drops him to 47.40% (-3.75% synergy across 5,224 games), and Jinx + Yuumi falls to 46.53% (-3.56% synergy across 24,292 games). Without a physical body in front of them, immobile hyper-carries simply get run over.

### Same ADC, Different Support: Gold+ Win-Rate Swings (Sept 25 – Nov 8, 2026)

Comparison of highest- and lowest-win-rate support pairings (minimum 1,000 Gold+ games per duo) for top marksmen across 10,320,222 Ranked Solo/Duo matches.

Marksman ADC | Role Win Rate | Best Support Duo (WR / Synergy) | Lowest Support Duo (WR / Synergy) | WR Swing |

Kog'Maw | 52.68% | + Taric: 57.09% (+1.83%) | + Ashe: 47.09% (-1.04%) | 10.00 pts |

Yunara | 49.55% | + Braum: 55.63% (+4.19%) | + Mel: 42.38% (-0.86%) | 13.25 pts |

Twitch | 51.40% | + Braum: 55.55% (+2.27%) | + Ashe: 46.14% (-0.71%) | 9.41 pts |

Zeri | 51.42% | + Braum: 55.44% (+2.13%) | + Mel: 41.44% (-3.65%) | 14.00 pts |

Kalista | 49.30% | + Taric: 55.18% (+3.29%) | + Mel: 42.07% (-0.92%) | 13.11 pts |

Jinx | 51.63% | + Braum: 54.88% (+1.37%) | + Mel: 44.55% (-0.74%) | 10.33 pts |

Samira | 49.78% | + Taric: 54.35% (+1.98%) | + Ashe: 42.54% (-2.70%) | 11.81 pts |

## How to draft and play a high-synergy ADC + Support lane

Match your marksman pick to what your support actually provides in a fight:

- Pair high-attack-speed marksmen (Yunara, Twitch, Zeri, Kog’Maw, Jinx) with Braum whenever the enemy team drafts projectiles or melee divers. Your rapid basic attacks turn Concussive Blows into a point-and-click stun.

- Use Taric, Zilean, or Renata Glasc to bodyguard immobile hyper-carries (Kog’Maw, Jinx, Varus) or supercharge short-range brawlers (Kalista, Samira, Sivir) who want to fight inside the minion wave.

- Don’t panic over a -100g to -450g deficit at 15 minutes when playing a scaling marksman + warden lane. Staying at zero deaths and hitting your two-item spike on time wins far more games than forcing coinflip level-2 all-ins.

- Skip double-poke or zero-peel supports (Mel, Ashe, or unattached poke mages) alongside immobile ADCs, and save Yuumi exclusively for mobile dashers like Lucian (52.29%, +4.96% synergy) who can survive lane without a tank in front.
