Riot accidentally made the best ADC. The studio claims she is OP and will be changing this LoL character

League of Legends

Riot says she is a better “shooter” than any ADC these days.


In League of Legends, players can choose from a variety of characters. Some of them do well in several roles, such as Vel’Koz in support and mid lane. Similarly, Seraphine can be both a mid mage, support, and shooter.

The vast majority of players choose her as support and there is nothing wrong with that, because her skill set allows her to effectively defend ADCs, initiate fights, and kill her opponents. It turns out, however, that this is not her best role.

Seraphine is doing better in a different role

The healing, shield, and stamina changes made in Patch 12.10 affected her quite a bit. Her win rate has gone down and is currently fluctuating between 49.5% and 47.9% on support. Although this result is not tragic yet, she is definitely doing better in other positions. She won 51.4% of games on mid, and 52.2% as ADC.

Meanwhile, the community picks Seraphine to defend the ADC in more than half of the matches, depending on the division. Diamond players appreciate her second roles where she spends an average of 50% of her time. On the other hand, in iron, she is played practically only in the support role and she appears on bot in 80% of cases. This is not much appreciated by Riot, who wants to strengthen her in a support role a bit, without changing the lead role.

Riot RayYonggi on Reddit informed about the current plans to increase the heroine’s power on support:

Riot August also mentioned it during his live streams on Twitch. He even stated that she is “OP” as ADC.

At the moment, it is not known how Riot wants to change Seraphine. Perhaps it will be a shield or healing buff from an improved “W”, but players will find out about it in some time.
