Perkz Ranks the Best Western Bot Laners: Who Comes Out on Top?
G2 Esports’ star AD carry, Luka “Perkz” Perković, has finally given League of Legends fans an answer to the age-old question: Who is the best bot laner in the West? During a recent Twitch stream, Perkz ranked the AD carries he has played against based on his experience from the 2019 LEC Summer Split and onwards.
Perkz’s Rankings
Perkz’s rankings for the best Western bot laners are as follows:
- Martin “Rekkles” Larsson
- Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng
- Kasper “Kobbe” Kobberup
- Steven “Hans Sama” Liv
- Elias “Upset” Lipp
- Patrik Jírů
- Zachary “Sneaky” Scuderi
Rekkles Takes the Top Spot
According to Perkz, Rekkles is at the top of the list because he excels at playing all of the meta champions, including Xayah, Kai’Sa, and Sivir. Perkz also praised Rekkles for his exceptional skills with Xayah and his willingness to experiment with unique bot lanes like Garen and Yuumi.
Doublelift Comes in Second
Doublelift secured the second spot on the list, mainly due to his incredible skill and versatility in playing uncommon bot lane combinations like Varus and Tahm Kench, and Kai’Sa and Galio. However, Perkz noted that Doublelift falls behind Rekkles when it comes to playing Xayah.
Other Notable Rankings
Kobbe, who showed significant improvement from spring to summer, landed right under Doublelift on Perkz’s list. Perkz commended Kobbe for his exceptional teamfighting skills and carrying abilities. On the other end of the spectrum, Perkz labeled Sneaky as the weakest player on his list, citing his shortcomings in the laning phase.
It’s important to note that Perkz’s rankings are based on his personal experiences and do not include every single Western bot laner. However, it still provides an interesting perspective from a professional player.
