A good bot laner is crucial in competitive League of Legends, often expected to be the main damage dealers for their side. Here are ADC power rankings at MSI 2025.
MSI ADC Power Rankings |
||
|---|---|---|
| Rankings | Player name | Team |
| 1 | Gumayusi | T1 |
| 2 | Ruler | Gen.G |
| 3 | Hope | Anyone’s Legend |
| 4 | Elk | Bilibili Gaming |
| 5 | Supa | Movistar KOI |
#1 – Gumayusi – T1 (LCK #2) – Here to Smash his opponents
T1 AD carry Lee “Gumayusi” Min-hyeong had a difficult start to the season, sharing time with academy prospect Smash and, at points, looking to have lost his place in T1’s starting roster altogether.
But the two-time world champion has gone from strength to strength since the starting bot lane spot was made his. He’s had the highest peak of anybody on this list so far this season, in spite of his substitution and doubts around his champion pool. With support Keria — also considered the best in his role at MSI — T1’s bot lane is scary.
#2 – Ruler – Gen.G (LCK #1) – The tenured journeyman AD carry
While he’s perhaps not the best-performing bot laner at this moment in time, Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk is well in with a shout at being the best ever in his role. He’s won all of the LCK, LPL, MSI, and Worlds through his career.
Both Ruler and Gumayusi are incredibly difficult to distinguish as a clear number one or two. Both are elite bot laners, and neither was gapped by the other when Gen.G and T1 faced off during the last split. Gumayusi may edge slightly this year in terms of peak performance, though Ruler is just about the most steady pair of hands you could find in the bot lane throughout the history of competitive League of Legends.
#3 – Hope – Anyone’s Legend (LPL #1) – Mr. Consistency
Wang “Hope” Jie has been around the block in the LPL. Having played in China’s top division since 2018, he’d so far claimed a single title and only once qualified for an international event: Worlds 2022 with JDG. Now, he’s a LPL champion once again with Anyone’s Legend.
While not necessarily as explosive as other players on this list, Hope’s strength is his consistency. Such is his reliability that the bot laner has only given away four or more deaths in six of his last 50 games across AL’s title-winning split. In those same 50 matches, he had 1 death or fewer in half of them.
#4 – Elk – Bilibili Gaming (LPL #1) – Return to form required
In contrast to his LPL colleague, BLG’s Zhao “Elk” Jia-Hao may well have a higher ceiling, but hasn’t been able to perform consistently this year.
He’s a tenured player with plenty of experience on this stage. His BLG side won both LPL splits last year but faltered in their international efforts, finishing runners-up at both the Mid-Season Invitational and Worlds.
Inability to win the LPL so far this year will be seen as a failure, and now both Elk and botlane partner ON will be looking for a return to form in Vancouver.
#5 – Supa – Movistar KOI (LEC #1) – A chance to prove himself
Movistar KOI bot laner David “Supa” Martínez García became a meme in EMEA last year after claiming to be the best in his role within his region after having just reached tier 1 competition.
Now, a year-and-a-half later, he’s become an LEC champion whilst being amongst Europe’s bot lane performers. But international competition is a different ball game entirely, and it remains to be seen how he’ll stack up against Eastern ADCs this time around after his side’s poor run in Worlds 2024.
