Top Lane Rankings for the Season
Here is the first of five positional ranking posts. I will try to have them all up by Sunday for those drafting this weekend. I apologize I didn’t have them up for you. All five posts will work the same – a list of where I think each player will finish at the end of the season in points scored, and then a breakdown of the tiers of where guys should be taken relative to each other. Here are my top lane rankings.
1 – Huni (IMT)
2 – Soaz (Origen)
3 – Impact (NRG)
4 – Odoamne (H2K)
5 – Darshan (CLG)
6 – KFO (Fox)
7 – Freddy122 (Roc)
8 – CaboChard (Vit)
9 – Hauntzer (TSM)
10 – Gamsu (FNC)
11 – Vizicsaci (UoL)
12 – Wunderwear (SPL)
13 – Balls (C9)
14 – Kikis (G2)
15 – SmittyJ (Dig)
16 – Lourlo (TL)
17 – Atom (Gia)
18 – Steve (Ele)
19 – Feng (TiP)
20 – RF Legendary (Ren)
1 – Huni has led top laners the last two splits, and even though the gap wasn’t as big last split, he still is the top choice here.
2-6 – These are all great top laners and have proven that they can play in a competitive environment. They all have the chance to be in conversation with Huni for the first spot.
7-12 – All of these guys have x-factors in their play or team situation that could hinder them during the split, or make them seem better than they are. This was the toughest chunk of players to organize for me.
13-16 – These four are all good players, but they most likely won’t be scoring lots of points week to week. These are wait and see candidates or play when they have two great match-ups, which they may be the easy match-ups.
17-20 – These four will be at the bottom of the pack because of their teams and their own abilities compared to their competition.
Stay tuned for the other four rankings coming this weekend. If you want to be sure to see them the moment I post, don’t forget to follow the blog, follow me on Twitter, or like me on Facebook so you can be informed when a new article goes live.
