Ranking all 24 ADCs at the League of Legends World Championship
By Josh Tyler
5. Luka “Perkz” Perković (G2 Esports) – 84 OVR
Much like Kobbe, Perkz gets a lot of resources from his team and uses them to bolster his team’s chances of winning. On a team with players like Caps and Jankos, managing to get 26.4% of your team’s gold is impressive. What’s even more impressive are his laning stats. With a jaw-dropping 19 CS, 731 gold, and 622 experience advantages at 15 minutes, Perkz is the best laning ADC at Worlds.
4. Park “Teddy” Jin-seong (SKT) – 84 OVR
Of all the additions SKT made to their team in the offseason, Teddy was the biggest. A young, talented ADC who could be a carry in his own right and take some of the pressure off Faker, Teddy has proven himself as one of the best ADCs on the planet.
One of the most interesting aspects to watch about Teddy, though, is his affinity for Varus. It’s his most-picked champion during the summer regular-season and playoffs, while most ADCs are straying away from the pick.
3. Jian “Uzi” Zi-Hao (RNG) – 84 OVR
Maybe the most mechanically-gifted AD Carry on the planet right now, Uzi is a master of wearing the carry pants. He’s top five in both gold and damage numbers, even though he doesn’t have the greatest adjusted KDA due to his high deaths per minute (1.9). He’s not playing safe and selfishly to preserve his KDA, but earning his stats through strong positioning.
2. Lin “Lwx” Wei-Xiang (FunPlus Phoenix) – 87 OVR
You may not know his name right now, but rest assured you will by the end of the World Championship. Not only does Lwx boast one of the best aKDAs of ADCs but he also leads all bot laners in kills per game with 6.4. He also contributes 616.5 adjusted damage per minute, which is the highest mark of all ADCs.
1. Park “Viper” Do-hyeon (Griffin) – 91 OVR
It’s ridiculous how efficient Viper is in using his life to help carry his team. He averages 1 death per game, tied for the lowest amount of ADCs at Worlds, which is a large reason why he has the highest aKDA (6.32) and Kill Efficiency (7.25) in his position. Viper is able to accumulate 484.5 adjusted gold per minute, with his only real weakness being his average damage and laning stats. But just being average in two areas doesn’t outweigh the fact that he’s all-world in those other statistics.
The League of Legends World Championship kicks off Wednesday, October 2 at 7:00 EST / 13:00 CEST.
