Twitch streamer who’s known for his League of Legends streams, Tyler Steinkamp aka Tyler1’s comments about the difficulties of League of Legends roles prompted Yiliang Ppeng aka Doublelift, a TSM streamer and eight-time LCS champion, to respond, declaring that “only psychopaths” play top lane.
Recently, Tyler1 stated that top lane is the most difficult role in League of Legends, and the TSM legend agreed. Despite being best known for his bot lane antics, he used his knowledge of the game to claim that only “psychopaths” love playing top lane.
Doublelift is skilled in League of Legends. The retired LCS AD Carry went pro in 2011 and won a record eight LCS titles during his career. During his September 23 stream, he took some time to respond to Tyler1’s comments about role difficulty.
Tyler1 recently made waves when he achieved Challenger level on mid lane, the fourth role he has reached Challenger with.
In the clip of Tyler1’s stream which Doublelift played on his stream, Tyler1 commented; “Mid lane is so…Mickey Mouse, cupcake, compared to top lane,”
Doublelift agreed with his fellow streamer and went into into depth on why top lane is so difficult. And here’s what he stated; “Top lane is the most punishing and disgusting role in the game. If you get f*cked top lane then you are f*cked for the rest of the game. If the enemy jungler does not want you to play the game, you cannot play the game. If you get counter-picked top lane, you cannot f*cking breath, you will just get completely bullied for the rest of the game.”
He then went on to explain that the majority of the misfortune that befalls a top laner is beyond their control. He added; “So much of what happens to you in top lane is because the enemy mid laner and jungler gap you, or because of pick order or because of support rambling.”
