Fighting against a tank team in League of Legends has been a real nuisance lately. Season 12 grapples with seemingly omnipotent tanks that manage to both drain the health bar and take as much damage as possible. Many heroes in LoL can serve as anti-tank weapons using many different HP shredding mechanicsIn this list, we will cover ADCs who are currently dealing with the best tanks.
All of these champions differ in difficulty and viability in the current patch, but they excel when it comes to fighting tanks. We will also talk about other aspects of these heroes to be informative. Here are LoL's top 5 ADC champions against super tank teams . (Note that this list is in no particular order, and all of this is valid enough against a tank crew.)

► Top 10 Non-Meta ADC Champions of LoL Season 12
────────────────────────────────────────────── ──
1. Kog'Maw
Kog'Maw has some of the strongest basic attacks in the game. His ability to lower his health bar is different from other champions. Kog'Maw's Q ability reduces the armor and magic resist of the target he hits. As Kog'Maw deals hybrid damage with both his spells and basic attacks, this increases his damage on all fronts. If you don't think that's good enough, the resistance reduction is percentage, meaning it will shatter tank defenses in the late game.
W's basic attacks increase his range and deal bonus magic damage per attack to Kog'Maw based on the target's maximum HP. When Kog maxes this spell, he takes a maximum of 7% HP (+1 per 100 AP) bonus magic damage with each attack. The more HP the enemy has, the more damage Kog does. Combine that with his Q and it's game over for any chunky enemies you encounter in the Rift.
Kog isn't difficult to play, and he's a master champion against healthy teams, making him a great pick in the current patch. Kog'Maw is definitely a great hero to play if you want to try out the role of ADC or even if you're an intermediate.
2. Varus
Varus is an extremely fast ADC, he can gain bonus attack speed with his passive ability. This passive is similar to Jinx, meaning she gains bonus speed every time she gets a takedown. It's different in that Varus can increase his attack speed (albeit at a lower rate) after each minion killed, as Jinx only gets this for kills, assists, and turrets.
This allows him to smash HP heavily with the right items without even bothering to use some of his other spells. His W ability Veiled Quiver passively deals bonus magic damage to Varus with each basic attack. It also stacks up to three times and can be activated at any time using some of its other spells. When activated, these stacks are consumed to deal bonus damage based on max HP, which is indeed a powerful spell.
If you want to take down a low HP enemy with Varus, activating his W and using his Q will deal a ton of damage based on the target's missing HP. He is not a very difficult hero to learn and we recommend that you learn. It's also a good idea to choose Varus situationally against tanks, as he can do a lot of things that tanks aren't prepared for.
3. Kalista
While Kalista has lost some of her vitality over the past few seasons, that doesn't change the fact that she's the tank's existential nuisance. Most people don't know much about Kalista due to her unpopular location, so let's talk a little bit about her.
Kalista's main source of damage will definitely be her E - Unlever, which pulls out any spear she's stacked on an enemy. He can stack up to 254 spears using his Q and basic attacks. However, despite stacking so many spears, you will never need it to be that high, and with a few dozen spears you can fire a single shot at your opponents. Since tanks can take a lot of damage, Kalista can deal a lot of damage to the enemy with her E ability.
What you need to know about the spell's anti-tank properties is that Kalista deals bonus magic damage based on the target's maximum HP. Making these with Kalista can be extremely satisfying, we recommend you try it. However, a great experience is not guaranteed as it has dropped a bit in the current patch. We hope Riot brings him a nice buff or mini-rework as he's one of the fun champions to play in the game.
4. Kai'Sa
Kai'Sa is a hybrid hyper-carry and is currently among the strongest ADC champions . While his level or win rate isn't that high, there's no denying that he's insanely strong. Most of his low stats are due to the early game and high skill cap.
When dealing with tanks, Kai'Sa has a lot of tools for massive DPS, but the most important tool against healthy opponents is definitely her passive. Kai'Sa can stack Plasma using her basic attacks and W. Allies' immobilization effects also help him stack Plasma. At 5 Plasma, it shatters to deal massive burst damage.
If Kai'Sa detonates Plasma with her W, she deals a ton of bonus magic damage. Plasma damage is based on max HP, making it extra strong against healthy opponents. His Q, and overall kit, is super fast and powerful; this helps Kai'Sa smash even the strongest enemy in seconds.
One of her main items is the Kraken Killer, which adds extra true damage to her attacks and makes her much stronger against tanks. In any case, as I said, Kai'Sa has a high skill cap and is probably the hardest pick on this list.
5. Vayne
From the hardest to the easiest, everyone's favorite night destroyer is also a tank destroyer. Vayne is one of the classic ADCs built on the hard hitting formula. Of course, he'll gain pace as the game progresses and builds items, but his kit relies solely on dealing as much damage as possible.
Q bonus damage, W bonus true damage, ultimate bonus damage. I can hear what you're saying.
The main focus when fighting tanks is the W ability Silver Arrow. Vayne deals true damage based on the target's maximum HP every third attack. It also has minimal true damage to less healthy opponents, making it equally strong against all enemy types. Against tanks, tanks get stronger as they get stronger. It is the greatest antithesis to tanks and increases its presence and viability in the game with tanks. Vayne becomes a damage-dealing goddess with the right items and will shatter every HP bar she sees. Tanks are her favorite target, but everyone fears Vayne's snowball, not just tanks.
League of Legends has an ever-changing meta, so this list will be updated whenever there's something new. As of now, these arethe best picks against tank heroes and you should try them all to see which one suits you best.
