According to the LoL Nexus, Kien Lam (Riot’s writer) surveyed 86 LCS and Academy players on various topics.
Let’s take a look at the most interesting questions from this survey!
1. Which role is the MOST impactful in professional play?
Top: 1.2%
Jungle: 40.7%
Mid: 43%
Bot: 4.7%
Support: 10.5%
Most people were adamant about this one clearly being mid or jungle, but a couple of people raised really good points about top and bot, saying, “Top doesn’t matter until you’re against TheShy, and then it really matters.”
One jungler said, “I want it on record that I said mid. There’s bias against junglers because people get ganked [and then think junglers are OP].” I will not be exposing who this is, though.
2. Which role is the LEAST impactful in professional play?
Top: 60.5%
Jungle: 2.3%
Mid: 0%
Bot: 31.4%
Support: 5%
As expected, the reverse is true for results when you flip the question. It seemed like bot laners were the most likely players to put their own role for least impactful whereas almost everyone else seemed to agree on top.
3. I would rather…
Win the LCS: 58.1%
Make it out of Groups: 41.9%
4. Has being a pro helped with your dating life?

Santorin An anonymous pro player answered Yes to this question!
5. Do you watch anime?
Yes, regularly: 26.7%
Yes, but not often: 46.5%
