Attack speed is one of the most satisfying stats to stack on a champion. Firing high rates of basic attacks coupled with rapid animations of characters is truly a unique experience. Here are the best champions to fully live out the attack speed dream!
Best Attack Speed Champions in League of Legends
Jinx
The first champion that comes to mind when it comes to attack speed is Jinx. This majestic champion is usually played with builds stacked with attack speed. She also has a passive which will increase your movement speed as well as attack speed after scoring a takedown. The increased speed will enable you to dance around your enemies firing at the highest attack speed possible. To bring this playstyle to life, you can also use the help of lethal tempo. The greatest attack speed rune in the game.
Master Yi
Master Yi is a close combat slayer that can achieve incredible attack speed. He just so happens to be one of the greatest jungle picks as well. To achieve the maximum effectiveness with this pick, building an on-hit is a must. As you go through a game, you will find yourself unlocking higher and higher levels of attack speed. The amazing Yi kit will enable you to slice through an enemy within a second, and then move on to the next target.
Tryndamere
The king of top-lane attack speed champions is none other than Tryndamere. The crit beast will chop down anyone who dares to approach him. This beautiful pick will allow you to freely farm enemy towers, minions, and jungle. Those who dare approach you without caution will also be subject to destruction.
Ashe
Another incredible attack speed ADC is Ashe. Unlike Jinx, she does not boast too much movement speed, instead, Ashe’s kit is centered around slowing the enemies. This kind of playstyle has some charm to it as well. Ashe has an incredible burst enhancer with her Q, when coupled with her slowing abilities, it’s quite satisfying to watch. She quite literally melts enemies.
Kayle
Kayle is the final boss of attack speed champions. She is one of the weakest early game champions, however, she is quite literally the hardest scaling champion in the game. When the lvl 16 rolls around, everything changes. She transforms into a powerhouse that can command incredible damage each time its pilot presses their left click mouse button.
Vayne
Vayne is quite a powerful attack speed champion as well. Her main thing is the passive that does true damage with each 3rd auto attack. The passive has a much higher value when we are loaded on attack speed, as we do get to proc it much more frequently. Vayne is a great top lane pick, which will make your enemies go nuts, especially if they are not ranged. The classical build for Vayne would include your regular on-hit items such as Botrk, Guinsoo’s etc, paired with the well-known and previously mentioned greatest rune of all time, Lethal Tempo.
Final Thoughts
There is no better stat to stack than Attack Speed, but not all champions can do that successfully. However, the carefully curated list of mentioned champions is perfect to expand your horizons when it comes to the greatest attack speed champions. Most of these champions will have quite similar builds, but if there is anything they could all share, it’s the Letal Tempo keystone.
