What are Ruler's League of Legends settings in 2026?

Ruler plays on a Logitech G305 with a Logitech G512 keyboard at 1920×1080, on the Gen.G roster that won the 2026 LCK title. His client DPI and slider values have not been published, so this profile leaves them blank rather than estimating. The G305 is a notably modest pick for a former Worlds finals MVP — a small, wireless, budget-tier shape rather than a flagship mouse.

The 2017 finals against SKT

Ruler has been at the top of the position for nine years across two leagues. He won Worlds in 2017 with Samsung Galaxy and took the finals MVP award — the first AD carry ever to do so — then spent five years at Gen.G before a two-season spell at JD Gaming in the LPL, where he won two domestic titles and MSI 2023. He returned to Gen.G in late 2024 and has won everything domestically since, including the 2026 LCK season as its finals MVP.

2018-2022
Five years at Gen.G through the rebrand

2023-2024
The LPL years
He left Gen.G after 2022 to join JD Gaming, winning the 2023 LPL Spring title as finals MVP, then the 2023 Summer title and MSI 2023. JDG came within one series of a Golden Road before losing the 2023 Worlds semifinal.

Home, and the sixth domestic title
Gen.G announced his return in late November 2024. He won MSI 2025, the 2025 Esports World Cup and LCK 2025, then took the 2026 LCK season title — named finals MVP for his performance across the three decisive games — sending Gen.G to Worlds 2026 as the No. 1 Korean seed.

The 2026 LCK Grand Final MVP is the interesting entry: at 27, and on a roster full of younger stars, he was the player who decided the three games Gen.G needed after dropping the first.

How Ruler plays

Ruler's reputation is built on the late game. He is a hyper-carry in the classic sense — Jinx, Kai'Sa and Ezreal played for a scaling window rather than a laning win — and the mechanic that defines him is positioning in five-on-five fights, where he consistently puts out damage from angles that should not be safe. His weakness has never been mechanics; it has been the years when his team could not get him to a late game worth playing.

Signature — Jinx
The purest version of his style: an immobile hyper-carry who wins the game from a position nobody expects her to hold. His Worlds 2017 run was built on it.
Signature — Kai'Sa
The pick that gives him an entry threat. Where Jinx requires his team to protect him, Kai'Sa lets him start a fight himself — which is why she appears in his biggest knockout series.
Signature — Ezreal
The safe, scaling alternative. Gen.G use him as the answer to lanes that cannot be won, letting Ruler get to the two-item window intact.
The 'Worlds specialist' label
It comes from his best performances landing in knockout series rather than regular-season play — the 2017 finals, MSI 2023, the 2026 LCK Grand Final. Whether that is a real trait or a byproduct of how his teams have been built is the standing debate.
The G305 detail
Playing on a Logitech G305 — a small, wireless, budget-tier mouse — while using a G512 keyboard is unusual for a player at his level, and it is a reminder that peripheral cost and peripheral preference are unrelated.

How Ruler compares

The generational comparison for Ruler is the other AD carries at Worlds 2026 — a mix of a Western veteran, a young prodigy and the man who took his seat at Gen.G.

Ruler is the only one of this group with a Worlds title, and the only one who has won domestic titles in two major regions. He is also the oldest — nine years on from his debut — which makes the 2026 finals MVP arguably the most impressive line on his résumé.

How to play like Ruler

Ruler's public advice has consistently been about improvement over achievement — the habit of reviewing losses rather than accumulating wins.

Build for the late game, not the lane
Jinx and Kai'Sa do not win lanes. They win games after thirty minutes, which means the laning phase should be played to arrive at the two-item window alive, not to produce a lead.
Position as if you are the only damage
His teamfight output comes from standing where he should not survive. Practise finding those angles in normal games — they are the whole job.
Review losses, not highlights
He has described his own approach as constantly breaking down what went wrong in his plays. The useful work is in the games you lost, not the ones you carried.
Ignore the cost of your gear
He has won a World Championship and multiple domestic titles on a Logitech G305. The mouse does not have to be expensive to be correct — it has to be consistent.

Things worth knowing about Ruler

  • He debuted under the ID 'Bung' at Stardust in Challengers Korea, and only became Ruler after Samsung Galaxy signed him.
  • In Chinese-speaking communities he is known as 尺帝 ('ruler emperor') — the word Ruler means both 'a measuring ruler' and 'one who rules'.
  • He was the first AD carry ever to be named Worlds finals MVP, taking the award in 2017 after Samsung Galaxy's win over SKT.
  • His move to JD Gaming in 2023 was a direct result of Gen.G wanting him back for 2025 — Peyz went the other way in the swap.
  • He has won domestic titles in both the LCK and the LPL, plus Worlds and MSI — a combination no other active bot laner holds.
  • He won the 2026 LCK Grand Final MVP at 27, in a series where Gen.G lost game one and then won three straight.
  • He plays on a Logitech G305 — a small wireless mouse at a budget price point, unusual for a player of his standing.
  • He was one of six players on the Korean Asian Games roster in 2023 whose gold medal carried military-service exemption, alongside Chovy, Faker, Zeus, Kanavi and Keria.

Frequently asked questions

7 answers
Career5
Why is Ruler called "Ruler"?Career

He picked the name himself when he joined Samsung Galaxy, upgrading from the ID 'Bung' that he had used at Stardust in Challengers Korea. In Chinese-speaking communities it became '尺帝' — 'ruler emperor' — because the English word reads as both 'a measuring ruler' and 'one who rules', and the double meaning suited an AD carry who was already winning. The nickname has outlasted the reasoning behind it.

Why did Ruler leave Gen.G?Career

He left after the 2022 season to join JD Gaming in the LPL — his first time playing outside Korea. The move paid off immediately: he won the 2023 LPL Spring title and was named finals MVP, then took both the 2023 LPL Summer title and MSI 2023 with JDG. In late November 2024 Gen.G announced his return, and he has been their bot laner since.

What makes Ruler a "Worlds specialist"?Career

The phrase exists because his best performances have come at the highest-stakes events rather than in the regular season. He won Worlds 2017 with Samsung Galaxy in Beijing and was named finals MVP — the first AD carry ever to take that award. He also holds five First All-Pro selections and has repeatedly carried Gen.G deep into international brackets, though a second World title has stayed out of reach.

What did Ruler win in 2026?Career

The LCK season title — Gen.G beat Hanwha Life Esports 3-1 in the Grand Final — and he was named Finals MVP for his performance across the three decisive games. It was the organisation's sixth LCK title and its second in a row, and it sent Gen.G to Worlds 2026 as the No. 1 Korean seed. Earlier in 2026 he also won the LCK Cup.

Has Ruler won the Asian Games?Career

Yes. He won gold with the Korean national team at the Hangzhou Asian Games in 2023, which under South Korean law also granted him alternative-service status in place of full military conscription. He played that tournament alongside Chovy, Faker, Zeus, Kanavi and Keria.

How does ProAiming verify player data?Data

Every profile in the ProAiming player database is cross-checked against published setting sheets and event setups before it appears, and re-checked before each major event. Hardware, resolution and any client-slider values must come from a verifiable source; anything a player has never published is left blank rather than estimated. Where a value changes mid-season, the most recent verified figure is the one shown.
