Zaboutine, Thorin, and Keire make the case that Ruler, one of the most decorated ADCs in League of Legends, has never actually been a true top-tier hard carry.
The crew opens with a challenge: pick apart your favorite players. That lands on Ruler, and the argument that despite a decade of trophies he has never posted a genuine top-15 hard carry season, leaning instead on elite teams, enchanter support, and perfect snowballs rather than taking over games himself. That spirals into a full ADC GOAT debate, from Uzi's MSI 2018 peak to Deft to why Ruler is rarely mentioned in the Faker-level greatness conversation. In the back half, a French guest preview convinces the show to reconsider the LEC Summer Split: with G2 and KC at full power, the crew debates whether Fnatic are actually favored to make Worlds or whether the hype is running ahead of the roster.
Topics covered:
⦁ Hot take: is Ruler overrated as a hard carry despite his resume?
⦁ Where Ruler really sits in the all-time ADC GOAT conversation next to Uzi and Deft
⦁ Why an ADC's carry ceiling depends on meta, enchanters, and team context
⦁ LEC Summer Split preview: are Fnatic actually favored to reach Worlds?
⦁ G2 and KC at full power and who grabs the remaining spots
