Samira

Samira is an AD carry in the adc, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a strong pick — a 52.6% win rate, 5.1% pick rate, 59,152 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Samira is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.

How Samira wins: grouped 5-v-5 teamfights, where Samira tips the fight, and using Samira's mobility to catch isolated targets. The kit grades 7/10 teamfighting, 7/10 mobility. Play around where Samira is thin, split-push and roaming (3/10, 2/10), and the enemy loses their angle.

The most-played core build is The Collector, Infinity Edge, Lord Dominik's Regards, which holds a 52.8% win rate across 7,461 games this patch. Pick the enemy team to adapt each item slot to the specific matchup.

The matchup to respect is Lux, where Samira sits at just 40.8%, the lane swings the other way into Talon (60.7%), and on the team side, Samira gains the most from a Dr. Mundo (+10.9% pair win rate).
