Thought: Doinb is like Nukeduck...but better...

When I think about it, Nukeduck is always touted to have this 'Champion Ocean' where compositions and playstyles gravitate around him and the teams he's on. Success is more than often out of reach however and even more so for Doinb prior to this year.

What differentiates them is the matter that Doinb takes more risks in playstyles of certain picks whereas Nuke is often running it stark standard as the off wall pick. It's just strange how the narrative of "Doinb's weird picks" has hardly (if even at all) been discussed as having a wider array of champs and styles to play which is the same thing expressed towards Nukeduck from time to time in the LEC.

Nonetheless, I'm a fan of the versatility and the risky styles and builds that they and any pros play. While I am on the side of G2 this final for I guess Western Pride or something, I am definitely waving that "Go whoever" flag in support for Doinb and his Dark Technologies to shine one more time this season.

I mean that narrative about him is kind of false. Nautilus is really the only offmeta solo lane champ he plays regularly he barely ever plays Kled or Poppy mid anymore.

The thing is, while doinb is known for the "strange picks" somewhat, what he's more known for is the roaming playstyle to snowball the rest of the map. Froskurren said it right, mechanically doinb is definitely not the best mid in the world, but his rotations and map vision/knowledge are unparalled.
