A particularly unexpected League of Legends death
A particularly unlucky League of Legends death has sparked a heated discussion among the player base regarding the overall balance of Attack Damage Carry (ADC) champions. The incident, in which prominent League player Yiliang ‘Doublelift’ Peter Wong fell victim to a coordinated attack from the opposing team, has left many wondering whether ADCs are currently too vulnerable.
During a recent LCS match, Doublelift – known for his exceptional skills as an ADC – found himself in a precarious position as he attempted to secure a kill on one of the enemy team’s mid laners. After taking a few shots from the enemy mid laner, Doublelift was struck by three long-range ultimate abilities, resulting in his untimely demise.
“They had Gragas, Lucian, and Irelia,” Doublelift comments as he watches the footage back. “Gragas was top, Irelia was mid, and Lucian was bot. They coordinated top, mid, and bot.”
The incident has left many players pondering whether ADCs are simply too susceptible to being burst down in high-stakes matches. Some argue that the current balance of ADC champions may be favouring burst damage over sustained damage, while others believe that the problem lies in the inherent fragility of ADCs, who are simply easy targets for coordinated attacks.
“ADC balance is the biggest problem in League right now,” one player comments on the video. “ADCs are just too easy to burst,” another adds.
The ongoing debate surrounding the delicate balance between ADCs and other roles in the game has once again been reignited by this incident. While some players are expressing their concerns over the potential impact of this incident on the competitive landscape of League of Legends, others are simply sharing their general analysis of the incident itself.
“It’s like the ADC player is the king and the ADC player knows it,” one player comments. Another shares, “Even the best players in the world can die like this.”
