Ranking all 24 ADCs at the League of Legends World Championship
By Josh Tyler
15. Kim “DeuL” Deul (MEGA) – 72 OVR
Although having the lowest vision score per minute of all ADCs at Worlds doesn’t immediately seem to be a cause for panic, DueL is the man who has that distinction, along with the second-lowest adjusted kill participation (78.8%) in his role. He does possess the highest Laning Score (1.45) for all AD Carries thanks to a bonkers 1347 average gold advantage at 15, but again he’s not going to be beating up on low-talent opponents at Worlds.
14. Sin “Nuclear” Jeong-hyeon (DAMWON Gaming) – 73 OVR
Everyone who is hyping up Damwon seems to overlook one key disadvantage they’ll have to overcome. That would be their AD Carry, Nuclear, who has the worst Laning Score of all ADCs from the major regions. But, unlike worse ADCs who pad their stats by beating up on worse competition, maybe Nuclear will improve on his putrid 8 CS and 326 gold disadvantages at 15.
13. Yuta “Yutapon” Sugiura (DetonatioN FocusMe) – 74 OVR
Yutapon is actually a very solid player, posting above-average stats in just about every stat other than vision control. In fact, his 111.8% aKP is one of the best in the tournament, as is his 679 gold advantage at 15. That could be due to the fact that his team feeds Yutapon kills, giving him a ridiculous 37.9% kill share, the best among any player at Worlds.
12. Yu “JackeyLove” Wen-Bo (Invictus Gaming) – 78 OVR
As much as people like to rag on Rookie’s subpar play as the reason for Invictus’s summer decline, JackeyLove also deserves to get a bit more scrutiny for his poor play. His mistakes during the year are massively punished to the detriment of his team, giving him an average of 2.6 deaths per game and a 2.57 aKDA. Both of these are the worst in those categories among all ADCs at the World Championship.
11. Na “Pilot” Woo-hyung (Royal Youth) – 79 OVR
Much maligned throughout his time on Jin Air, on Royal Youth Pilot has actually looked like a pretty good jungler. He’s above average in just about every major stat, and his 6.10 aKDA is second-best at Worlds for ADCs. The question, as always for these good ADCs from lower-end regions, is how well he will stack up on the world stage.
