Ranking all 24 ADCs at the League of Legends World Championship
By Josh Tyler
20. Calvin “k1ng” Truong (MAMMOTH) – 68 OVR
His laning stats are not the worst of anyone at the World Championship, but the 204 gold, 18 CS, and 126 experience deficits k1ng averages give him a fourth-worst Laning Score of -1.02. The problem for k1ng is that the three players ahead of him at least can argue that they’re facing quality competition. Going against OPL ADCs, k1ng cannot say the same.
19. Zachary “Sneaky” Scuderi (Cloud9) – 69 OVR
Speaking of bad laners, here is the actual worst laning ADC in the tournament, with a -1.35 Laning Score. Sneaky is one of only three ADCs at the World Championship to not record a single solo kill during the Summer Split. Compounding matters is his 425.7 aGPM, making him the poorest ADC, relatively, ahead of only Zin.
18. Wong “Unified” Chun Kit (Hong Kong Attitude) – 69 OVR
Unified is one of those non-factor players who looks like he has decent stats on the surface, but his underlying numbers betray him. Despite a decent (though higher than average) 1.9 deaths per game, Unified has the third-worst aKDA due to him having the second-fewest kills of any ADC in the tournament. With below-average gold and damage stats, Unified isn’t exactly the guy to put the “carry” in AD Carry.
17. Cody “Cody Sun” Sun (Clutch Gaming) – 71 OVR
While Cody Sun was one of Clutch’s big stars in their run through playoffs and the Regional Qualifier, we have to remember that there are still some outstanding questions about his damage output and gold counts that improved but didn’t necessarily stand out in the postseason.
One thing to be encouraged by, though, is that his kills per game did jump up from 3.33 in the regular season to around 4.5-5 in the playoffs. If he can maintain that level of play, he’d be a bit higher up. The problem is, though, he’s going to have to do it against tougher competition, which is going to be a tall order for the young ADC.
16. Fabián Esteban “Warangelus” Llanos Bernal (Isurus) – 72 OVR
Warangelus isn’t a particularly flashy player for Isurus. He’s been serviceable, posting above-average Kill Efficiency (4.75), gold (467.2 aGPM), and damage (558.6 aDPM) numbers. He’s also one of the better laners in the tournament, with a 0.84 Laning Score. However, it would be very surprising if he could continue to play at this level against tougher competition.
