LCS Spring 2020: Player Power Rankings Through Week 2
By Josh Tyler
ADC
1. Jesper “Zven” Svenningsen (Cloud9)
No surprise here that the reigning LCS Player of the Week and only deathless player left in the league is atop the ADC rankings. Beyond just not dying, though, I want to highlight Zven‘s insane laning stats. His 16 CSD at 15 minutes is absolutely bonkers, as is his 616 average gold advantage at that same mark. A lot of credit should go to his support, Vulcan, but Zven has turned things on and become that “Best in the West” player TSM fans were hoping for.

2. Bae “Bang” Jun-sik (Evil Geniuses)
3. Kasper “Kobbe” Kobberup (TSM)
Speaking of TSM, let’s not overlook the fact that Kobbe has been pretty damn good in his North American debut so far. He’s putting up solid damage and laning numbers by his own right, even beating out Zven in raw and adjusted DPM. The jokes of the Talent Suppression Machine were never accurate with regard to Zven, who was solid all of last year, and I want to cut them off before they begin with regards to Kobbe.
4. Johnson “Johnsun” Nguyen (Dignitas)
5. Cody “Cody Sun” Sun (100 Thieves)
6. Ian Victor “FBI” Huang (Golden Guardians)
7. Johnny “Altec” Ru (Immortals)
Altec isn’t getting nearly enough love for his play after a year away from League of Legends. His 123.0% adjusted kill participation (aKP), which is a combination of a player’s kill participation, kill share, and death share relative to his position, is better than players like Zven and Kobbe and his 540 DPM is better than Doublelift‘s.
The biggest issue for Altec is his terrible laning stats. Averaging gold, CS, and experience deficits at 15 minutes (including a ghastly -21 CSD), Altec is the worst-laning ADC in the LCS by a mile.
8. Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng (Team Liquid)
9. Jason “WildTurtle” Tran (FlyQuest)
10. Trevor “Stixxay” Hayes (CLG)
