The reason why some are superior to others? Its simply put. What champions have more effective mechanics and better overall composition synergy.

Look at it this way. If Twitch has 0 escapes, limited to late game for max damage, requires alot of babysitting, and requires his core items before he even stings. Is he more viable of a pick, or is Draven who gets a instant steroid, with higher lane dominance, independent of support, and doesnt need core items to deal large amounts of damage; better? The answer? Draven.

The more independent an ADC is of their team the more viable they are. The reason why is an ADC normally requires alot of babying and protection. With the better ADC's this isnt too prevalent.

Blue Ezreal (specifically this build) defeats this, he self peels.

Vaynes sheer damage output and stealth is a deterrent to focus her without peel.

Varus can stun an entire team and slow them down with his E, all while kiting and dealing massive % damage.

These champions are independent of their teams in a different way but ultimately do the same thing. Making them 3x more viable than say, Ashe or Sivir who have little to no form of self peel. Ashes slow and stun dont really count for much when the whole fucking team is bearing down on her. I wont go into massive detail why X is better than Y but its mainly just how team-reliant is your ADC.

If your familiar with the Professional scene think about it in these terms, is your ADC a Doublelift or a Cop? Doublelift is extremely independent and doesnt need a team to do good, but lacks co-ordiantion with teammates and falls short in teamplay. (Hes more Rambo)

Cop is 100% team-relaint and usually only does as good as his team but can function under really harsh conditions and coordinates incredibly well with his team.

Hope this helped. I have heard this question alot.
