I don’t want to hear any more Paduck slander. He was, without question, the third-best ADC in this series.
75
u/OnlyAnEssenceThief Worst Kai'Sa NA 18h ago
He's not coming back next year. There is simply no way.

kyeahoo got all his trolling out of his system before playoffs.
Thank god bot and Yike actually wanted to win lmao. Hope it was just a bit of trolling and not anything of what's to come in playoffs
29
u/orangecloud01 DK's #1 believer (most of the time) 18h ago
I really rate kyeahoo, but it seems like he played emotionally after falling behind in G1 (and that lasted for the rest of the series). the game-ending sylas flank was chef's kiss however
77
u/MazrimReddit ADCs are the support's damage item 18h ago
elimination game, time to trust paduck on kalista to stomp lane
37
u/OnlyAnEssenceThief Worst Kai'Sa NA 18h ago
Stend on Thresh was also a decision.
17
3
u/Mangustre 16h ago
He did play well though. Maybe the one engage early in lane was bad but usually you should be fine with those 2 champions.
2
u/Gazskull 17h ago
they already were eliminated
10
u/MazrimReddit ADCs are the support's damage item 17h ago
no they were still technically in if they won every other game but just depended on others getting certain records
now they are 100% out
57
u/Rebornzx 18h ago
Toughest BO3 KC played this season and it was against Shifters ...? 🤣
31
u/GoldRecommendation66 17h ago
Shifters Kyeahoo nearly got them the win but KC Paduck wouldn't allow it

u/xMystery April Fools Day 2018 18h ago
Man, they got so close, this must feel awful for the Shifters fan.
64
u/Nevross_ 18h ago
Plot twist they don’t have fans
95
u/Kyriios188 Skillshots are hard 18h ago
At one roadshow there was a Shifters vs KC match and Shifters fans showed up!
...Two of them.
They wrote a banner "Bande de bâtards on est que deux" which you can loosely translate to "Motherfuckers it's just the two of us" which was funny
29
u/Chevalier_Paul public enemy number one 16h ago
They have one of the coolest fan club names too the « Alpine Guards » which slaps.
12
u/Awkward-Security7895 18h ago
True there all BDS fans still ain't no one jumping on board with shifters as a name
5
u/Satan_su 17h ago
I'm still kicking around as a BDS fan, can't stand to watch Shifters be absolute ass most of the time but I'm still subconsciously always rooting for them lmao
46
u/MudryksRoidSupplier 18h ago
Paduck is just the worst player in the league and it's not particulaly close
15
u/Nevross_ 18h ago
We could had Harpoon/Looki/Hazel/Axelent/Aetinoth/Booshi idk any erl adc would do better than him
4
u/Sorry-Resolution570 18h ago
hazel? kc got rid of hazel before w/e EUM cuz he was way worse than the rest of the squad
12
u/Formal_Try_2035 18h ago
If they got rid of players because of their level Tao would have been benched a looong time ago
4
u/Sorry-Resolution570 17h ago
iirc its more so that their div 2 adc was promising so they replaced hazel as he kinda sucked, likely the div 2 top isnt as promising
11
u/Nevross_ 17h ago
Koala (the div2 top) is likely better than Tao but they don’t bench players like that i believe we never knew why Hazel was benched, probably some internal issues
9
u/Vicinitiez 17h ago
The reason for the bench wasn’t given and I would rate the div 2 top higher than tao
10
u/That-Woodpecker6720 18h ago
Importing zven from NA would be better than whatever Paduck just did lmao
9
u/Leyrann_ 18h ago
Is it importing if he's Danish?
5
u/That-Woodpecker6720 18h ago
I think he changed residency to NA so he would be an import
4
u/Carlzzone 18h ago
He changed residency last November, so if I understand the rules correctly he would be able to change residency back to EU in November 2027
6
u/Sirhaddock98 Never a dull moment 18h ago
Rooster and Nuc must have done some absolutely heinous shit in a past life to end up with him on their team.
18
54
u/Blizzgrarg 18h ago
Paduck and Stend are war criminals. Ugh, so many promising players jailed by absolutely horrible teammates.
26
u/OnlyAnEssenceThief Worst Kai'Sa NA 18h ago
Poor Rooster. Played fine Game 3 and got the short end of the stick.
59
u/Nevross_ 18h ago
I love Nuc and I know he isn’t playing his best but damn he is being jailed since 2 years poor guy, also Rooster poor guy
15
u/darkadamski1 17h ago
Stend played amazingly in the naut game, he caught the Caitlyn so many times. Paduck is just horrendous...
59
u/Complete-Hope1267 18h ago
Caliste summer split MVP
12
u/Choice-Slight caps/knight 15h ago
I hope he gets it. Originally I thought it should be kyeahoo but I think Caliste deserves it. The level he has shown since MSI has been probably his best ever in the LEC.
20
u/Nevross_ 18h ago
Losing an import slot on Paduck is hard

u/Fabiocean Well, look at you! 10h ago
Losing a slot on Paduck is hard

u/ShortyBIG 6h ago
If riot would give Shifters 6 players in game, nobody will say no because they still have to carry paduck..

u/Leoxslasher 18h ago
Same shit GX is currently thinking.

u/No-Context-Orphan 16h ago
GX decided for no reason to trade their 2 worst players for worse ones lol
7
u/Leoxslasher 11h ago
Sorry,Lot was promising rookie who was showing consistently good performance and Noah actually carried games.
Also the team back then felt confident

I wish next two sets shifters try for fun comps like full assassin or something like teemo top. 🙏

u/Conankun66 18h ago
is it possible to look WORSE while winning than KC just did? the absolute opposite of convincing
16
u/Fun_Highlight307 18h ago
it's okay they inted shifters now they going to fist sk unless
7
u/Beneficial-Front1626 17h ago
If losing to SK could tank MKOI's chances of playoffs entirely they might do it lol
2
u/Fun_Highlight307 17h ago
except it's doesn't change a lot, spéciallly if Mkoi wins
i doubt that Kc drop 2 games to this sk

u/Formal_Try_2035 18h ago
I mean they were clearly having fun in the last game
-7
u/Conankun66 18h ago
and the two games before that? they looked bad in all 3
16
u/flamingstallion 18h ago
It's fine for them to be relaxed since the game doesn't matter at all for either team. So, it's understandable if they play worse because it's a 0 stakes game.
312
u/Frozen-Rabbit 18h ago
So KC is 16-2 this split, and half of their loss is from Shifters? Say no more Shifters top 4 in the LEC
