League of Legends LCS player power rankings – Week 8
By Josh Tyler
Who are the best League of Legends players in each position in the LCS after Week 8?
One week remaining in the LCS season doesn’t give a lot of room for our best League of Legends players to shake the identity of their Summer Split performance. Whether overachievers or disappointments, here is where all the LCS players stack up with one week to go in the regular season. You can see the full statistics here, which are based off the stats collected from the folks at Oracle’s Elixir, with a full explanation in our first LCS breakdown from this split.

13. Samson “Lourlo” Jackson (Echo Fox)
No massive changes to our top laner rankings, other than at the top. Impact, rated second on this list last week, dropped all the way to number five after slight drops to his adjusted KDA and gold per minute, stemming from a disappointing 1/3/2 game in their loss to Cloud9.

13. Maurice “Amazing” Stückenschneider (100 Thieves)
14. Michael “MikeYeung” Yeung (Echo Fox)
The only changes in our ranking of LCS junglers came with a few players swapping places. At the top of the ladder, Meteos and Wiggily swapped the two and three spots, while LirA and Contracts flipped sixth and eighth.
Mid lane
1. Lee “Crown” Min-ho (OpTic Gaming)
2. Henrik “Froggen” Hansen (Golden Guardians)
3. Tristan “PowerOfEvil” Schrage (CLG)
4. Yasin “Nisqy” Dinçer (Cloud9)

11. Max “Soligo” Soong (100 Thieves)
12. David “Yusui” Bloomquist (Echo Fox)
13. Tanner “Damonte” Damonte (Clutch Gaming)
By contrast, the mid lane saw a lot of shifts in the rankings as Nisqy dropped from #2 to #4, replaced by Froggen, who also leap-frogged Jensen (along with PowerofEvil). At the bottom, Fenix went from worst to…not quite worst, knocking down Damonte to the lowest ranking of the split he’s had.
