We debate whether Gen.G need to bench Canyon — and make a bold BLG Golden Road call!
This week's Hot Take Point Made LoL covers some of the spiciest takes in the current League of Legends meta conversation. Keire opens with a hot take arguing that Gen.G need to move on from Canyon — his own GOAT jungler — either now or at the end of the season, making the case that Canyon's declining impact has been masked by elite laners around him. Thorin and Keire dissect whether that's a legitimate critique or a mirage created by LCK's current jungle meta. Then the crew tears apart a fan-submitted take that EU could field three top-10 teams in the world with the right roster construction — and find it doesn't survive contact with reality. Finally, Zaboutine drops his biggest take of the episode: BLG will complete the Golden Road this year.
Topics covered:
⦁ Is it time for Gen.G to bench or replace Canyon — even if he's your GOAT jungler?
⦁ Is Canyon actually declining, or is the current meta exposing him?
⦁ Could EU realistically build three top-10 teams in the world right now?
⦁ Is G2 actually a top-10 team after First Stand, or is the hype overblown?
⦁ Will BLG complete the Golden Road in 2026?
⦁ Is SkewMond on track to become the best western jungler ever?
