League of Legends LCS player power rankings – Week 8
By Josh Tyler
AD Carry
1. Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng (Team Liquid)
2. Jesper “Zven” Svenningsen (TSM)
3. Bae “Bang” Jun-sik (100 Thieves)
4. Noh “Arrow” Dong-hyeon (OpTic Gaming)
5. Cody “Cody Sun” Sun (Clutch Gaming)
6. Trevor “Stixxay” Hayes (CLG)
7. Ian Victor “FBI” Huang (Golden Guardians)
8. Matthew “Deftly” Chen (Cloud9)
9. Zachary “Sneaky” Scuderi (Cloud9)
10. Apollo “Apollo” Price (Echo Fox)
11. Lawrence “Lost” Sze Yuy Hui (Echo Fox)
12. Jason “WildTurtle” Tran (FlyQuest)
Deftly drops in our tier list below the man many were speculating he was traded to make space for, FBI. With Sneaky‘s rise up the rankings, the two are about even in our ratings.
One thing that is interesting to note with regards to ADCs is that there is a massive discrepancy at the top. There’s Doublelift…and then there’s the trash below him. Most of the LCS ADCs are currently hovering in the slightly above-average to average range, with the exception of those below Deftly who sits at the average ADC ranking.
Support
1. Jo “CoreJJ” Yong-in (Team Liquid)
2. Vincent “Biofrost” Wang (CLG)
3. Tristan “Zeyzal” Stidam (Cloud9)
4. Terry “BIG” Chuong (OpTic Gaming)
5. Kim “Olleh” Joo-sung (Golden Guardians)
6. Choi “huhi” Jae-hyun (Golden Guardians)
7. Nickolas “Hakuho” Surgent (Echo Fox)
8. Philippe “Vulcan” Laflamme (Clutch Gaming)
9. Juan “JayJ” Guibert (FlyQuest)
10. Kim “Wadid” Bae-in (FlyQuest)
11. Andy “Smoothie” Ta (TSM)
12. Zaqueri “Aphromoo” Black (100 Thieves)
Just a few supports swapping spots (huhi and Hakuho, teammates JayJ and Wadid, and Smoothie and Aphromoo). Otherwise, there is a clear tier structure in place (CoreJJ/Bio at the top, JayJ/Wadid/Smoothie/Aphro at the bottom, everyone else in the middle).
