Bot lane is the only lane where two players share a lane from the first minute, so the pairing matters as much as the individual picks. Instead of ranking duos by feel, we went through every ADC + support pairing in the ranked solo/duo games LoLSuggest tracked on patch 16.19 and measured how often each duo actually won.
The sample: 447,693 ranked games played between September 22 and October 7, 2026 on the Turkey, North America, Korea and Singapore servers, containing 831,887 ADC + support pairings. To keep luck out of the rankings, every table below only includes duos with at least 1,000 games together.
Key takeaways
- Yunara + Braum posted the best result of the patch: 57.9% over 1,303 games, +5.8 points above what the two champions win separately.
- Jinx is the safest ADC to build a duo around: she appears in six of the ten highest win-rate pairings.
- Yuumi is the most partner-dependent support: +4.2 points with Tristana, but 42.7% (−5.2) with Caitlyn.
- The most popular duo, Caitlyn + Lux (11,826 games), wins just 50.9%.
How to read the numbers
Duo win rate is the share of games the two champions won together. Because a strong ADC wins a lot with almost any support, every table also compares the duo with an expected win rate: the ADC's patch win rate plus the support's patch win rate, minus 50. How far a duo lands above or below that line is what we call synergy. A positive number means the two champions do better together than their individual strength predicts.
With 1,000 games a win rate has a margin of error of roughly ±3 points, and with 2,500 games about ±2. Treat small differences between neighbouring rows as ties; the gap to the 50% average is what matters.
The 10 highest win-rate bot lane duos
| # | Duo | Win rate | Games | vs. expected |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yunara + Braum | 57.9% | 1,303 | +5.8 |
| 2 | Samira + Leona | 55.3% | 2,678 | +2.2 |
| 3 | Jinx + Milio | 55.2% | 2,339 | +1.3 |
| 4 | Kog'Maw + Lulu | 55.2% | 1,263 | +1.9 |
| 5 | Miss Fortune + Rell | 55.1% | 1,289 | +2.8 |
| 6 | Jinx + Vel'Koz | 54.7% | 1,165 | +1.6 |
| 7 | Jinx + Braum | 54.3% | 1,962 | +0.6 |
| 8 | Jinx + Janna | 54.2% | 1,732 | +1.1 |
| 9 | Jinx + Nami | 54.1% | 1,920 | +0.7 |
| 10 | Jinx + Thresh | 54.0% | 5,913 | +0.8 |
1. Yunara + Braum: 57.9%
The clear number one, and also the duo that beats its expectation by the widest margin. Braum's passive, Concussive Blows, keeps stacking from his ADC's basic attacks once he has applied the first stack, and his Unbreakable shield blocks the projectiles that normally punish immobile marksmen in lane. At 1,303 games this is the smallest sample in the top ten, so the exact number may settle lower as more games come in, but a gap this large is very unlikely to be luck alone.
2. Samira + Leona: 55.3%
Leona's Zenith Blade, Shield of Daybreak and Solar Flare keep one target rooted or stunned long enough for Samira to cycle through her abilities and attacks, which is exactly how she builds the Style grade she needs for Inferno Trigger. With 2,678 games it is also one of the larger samples in the table. Samira's second-best support, Nautilus (53.0% over 4,054 games), works the same way.
3. Jinx + Milio: 55.2%
Milio's Cozy Campfire extends his allies' attack range, his Warm Hugs shield adds movement speed, and Breath of Life cleanses crowd control: exactly the protection a marksman without a dash of her own needs.
Jinx wins with almost everyone
Jinx is the second most picked ADC of the patch (18.4% pick rate, behind Caitlyn) and the most consistent one. Besides Milio she appears with Vel'Koz, Braum, Janna, Nami and Thresh in the top ten, every time between 54.0% and 54.7%. Her own patch win rate is 51.8%, so most of those pairings land only slightly above expectation: she does not need a specific partner to win.
4–5. Kog'Maw + Lulu and Miss Fortune + Rell
Two classic team-fight duos complete the top five. Lulu's Whimsy and Wild Growth make Kog'Maw very hard to dive once he starts shredding from range, and Rell's Magnet Storm drags a whole team into one spot for Miss Fortune's Bullet Time.
Duos with the most synergy
Synergy rewards pairs that beat their individual strength, so this list surfaces different names than the raw win-rate table. A duo can have strong synergy and still a modest win rate when both champions are weak on their own this patch.
| # | Duo | Synergy | Win rate | Expected | Games |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yunara + Braum | +5.8 | 57.9% | 52.1% | 1,303 |
| 2 | Tristana + Yuumi | +4.2 | 53.1% | 48.9% | 1,721 |
| 3 | Lucian + Yuumi | +4.0 | 49.9% | 45.9% | 1,315 |
| 4 | Jhin + Mel | +3.5 | 48.5% | 45.0% | 1,100 |
| 5 | Kai'Sa + Neeko | +3.0 | 51.0% | 48.0% | 1,024 |
| 6 | Miss Fortune + Rell | +2.8 | 55.1% | 52.3% | 1,289 |
| 7 | Caitlyn + Vel'Koz | +2.6 | 53.6% | 51.0% | 1,400 |
| 8 | Ashe + Seraphine | +2.5 | 52.9% | 50.4% | 6,283 |
| 9 | Samira + Nautilus | +2.5 | 53.0% | 50.5% | 4,054 |
| 10 | Miss Fortune + Pyke | +2.5 | 50.9% | 48.4% | 2,055 |
Yuumi needs a mobile ADC. Tristana + Yuumi (+4.2) and Lucian + Yuumi (+4.0) both beat their expectation by four points, while Yuumi sits at the very bottom with Caitlyn (−5.2) and Jhin (−3.6). Yuumi stays attached through her ally's jumps and dashes, which suits Tristana's Rocket Jump and Lucian's Relentless Pursuit; long-range lane bullies like Caitlyn tend to get more out of a support who can lock targets onto their traps.
Ashe + Seraphine is the most reliable synergy in the table. It is +2.5 points above expectation over 6,283 games, by far the largest sample in this list. Seraphine's Beat Drop roots enemies that are already slowed, and every Ashe attack slows.
The most popular duos and how they really perform
| # | Duo | Games | Win rate | vs. expected |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Caitlyn + Lux | 11,826 | 50.9% | +0.9 |
| 2 | Caitlyn + Morgana | 6,601 | 51.7% | +1.5 |
| 3 | Yunara + Lulu | 6,303 | 52.2% | +1.5 |
| 4 | Jinx + Lulu | 6,302 | 53.0% | +0.7 |
| 5 | Ashe + Seraphine | 6,283 | 52.9% | +2.5 |
| 6 | Jhin + Lux | 6,082 | 51.2% | +1.2 |
| 7 | Jinx + Thresh | 5,913 | 54.0% | +0.8 |
| 8 | Kai'Sa + Nautilus | 5,913 | 49.9% | +0.1 |
Popularity and strength are two different things. Caitlyn + Lux is played more than any other pairing (11,826 games, almost twice as many as Caitlyn + Morgana in second place) and wins 50.9%, about what Caitlyn (49.7%) and Lux (50.3%) win separately. Jinx + Thresh (5,913 games, 54.0%) is the popular duo that actually delivers.
Duos to avoid this patch
| # | Duo | Win rate | Games | vs. expected |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Caitlyn + Yuumi | 42.7% | 1,334 | −5.2 |
| 2 | Miss Fortune + Mel | 43.2% | 1,056 | −2.5 |
| 3 | Ezreal + Yuumi | 44.1% | 1,541 | −0.9 |
| 4 | Ezreal + Blitzcrank | 44.3% | 1,613 | −3.2 |
| 5 | Jhin + Yuumi | 44.3% | 1,131 | −3.6 |
| 6 | Ezreal + Pyke | 44.4% | 1,353 | −0.4 |
At the bottom the same two things keep showing up: champions that are weak on their own, and poor fits. Ezreal has the lowest patch win rate of any popular ADC (46.8%) and appears three times, while Caitlyn + Yuumi is the worst pairing overall at 42.7%. Miss Fortune + Mel (43.2%) shows that a solid ADC cannot carry a support who is struggling: Mel wins only 45.3% of her support games this patch.
