LCS Summer 2020: Week 5 Player Power Ranking
By Josh Tyler
Our LCS Summer 2020 Week 5 player power ranking ranks the ADCs.
ADC
1. Bae “Bang” Jun-sik (Evil Geniuses)
Even though it was a rough week for Evil Geniuses, going 0-2 with losses to Golden Guardians and CLG, Bang was most certainly not the reason for their struggles. He had a monster weekend going 7/4/7 on Ezreal (though he was out-shone by FBI’s 9/3/13 Aphelios) followed by another beautiful Ezreal game, going 4/0/8. That gave him an 11/4/15 scoreline over the team’s two games last weekend.
In those two games, Bang was a damage monster doing over 1,000 DPM and bringing his season average up to 650 DPM. And, yes, it’s easy to rack up high DPM numbers on a champion like Ezreal, but it’s most impressive that Bang did this while also getting considerably fewer resources than his teammates. He has a 1.71 damage to gold ratio, which is the highest for any player in the LCS.

2. Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng (TSM)
3. Ian Victor “FBI” Huang (Golden Guardians)
4. Johnson “Johnsun” Nguyen (Dignitas)
5. Edward “Tactical” Ra (Team Liquid)
6. Jesper “Zven” Svenningsen (Cloud9)
Look, playing Wukong is definitely a tough ask for a traditional ADC, but Zven did an admirable job in the team’s win over his former mates on TSM. That said, the game against 100 Thieves proved that maybe it’s a pick that has its time and place.
7. Trevor “Stixxay” Hayes (CLG)
8. Jason “WildTurtle” Tran (FlyQuest)
9. Apollo “Apollo” Price (Immortals)
10. Brandon “Mash” Phan (FlyQuest)
It might now be time for the Mash experiment to come to an end for FlyQuest. After a hot start, Mash has peetered out in the last few games. He has some of the lowest damage numbers for an AD Carry and is one of the worst laners in that role. He averages a 12 CS deficit at 15 minutes, while the next-worst ADC in that regard, Stixxay, only averages a 7 CS deficit.
11. Cody “Cody Sun” Sun (100 Thieves)
12. Johnny “Altec” Ru (Immortals)
