Who is better? Rekkles or Doublelift
It’s pretty obvious that these two are the best Adc’s of all time in NA and EU. So I want to know who you guys think is better. Note that if you think there are better Adc’s in those regions please tell me

Doublelift is much better if your talking about how well the soak up CC, because he in unable to flash out of shockwaves, glacial prisms and any other form of cc that any player should be able to.
On a serious note those, doublelift has shown his incapability to do remotely as well as the other international powerhouses. Not only does rekkles have actual international success, but he is much more dominant in Europe than DL is in NA. Not to mention the fact that EU has consitently shown themselves as the better region (Worlds 2015, MSI 2017, Worlds 2017, ect)
Dont get me wrong, doublelift is a great adc, but you would have trouble finding any knowledgeable analyst who would take DL over rekkles. Its mostly because he has a lot of habits that arnt punished in NA but against real teams, he is alwase punished. Thats why he hasnt made it out of groups ever no matter how much RNJesus helps him cough Worlds 2017 cough
Also dont even get me started on the NA>EU crap. The majority of your mid laners are imports (There are legit more EU born mid laners than NA born mid laners in the NA LCS). I mean of the 9 players who have won NA LCS MVP, only one of them was from the region. What a joke of a region, XD.
Doublelift with evidence. http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=doublelift
Doublelift isn't even best adc NA. He has always been best on hyper carry adcs and after totally failing in the best adc meta in Worlds with the "easiest" group he is confirmed the biggest choker and talker while Sneaky is best.
So clearly Rekkles > DLift
Sneaky
Well they played against each other at rift rivals didn't they?
TSM won that. going 2-0 against FNC in the process. FNC didn't even make finals and the only two games FNC won were against P1 who ended up last in NA that split.
As for worlds, DL didn't play well. But Rekkles had that unforgivable mistake against IMT.

That right there was a bonehead play worthy of me. Here's Big Bell Brute playing twitch. Oh look he flashes forward.....BAITED!!!! Noooo Never flash forward. BBB you Bronze fiver......
If we're talking about pure 1v1 it's Doublelift 9 times out of 10.
If we're talking about International success/success, in general, it's Rekkles
If we're talking about career stats it's Rekkles. Rekkles has played in some many 40+ min games in his career, while D-Lift tends to play in some if not the shortest average game time on whatever team he's on.
D-Lift has always been too focused on CS and you would fully understand if you watch his games as long as I have(6 years) as well as in his solo Q games his jungler would gank and literally give him free kills but he's unresponsive until he kills every, EVERY single minion before attacking the enemies. Double is also way too aggressive in ways that make 0 sense, you could watch games from 2013-14 and even at Worlds 2016 where even with leads he feels the need to 1v5 - die and cost his team games from doing such actions.
Rekkles early in his career was given side lane after side lane of cs similar to Bjergsen for TSM to scale up and that style of play even cost Fnatic wins back in the day in which teams like Alliance and SK were better than Fnatic until Rekkles/Fnatic changed players(Huni/Reignover/Febiven). Double was also given a decent amount of resources but he was crucified for doing so even when Fnatic/CLG had similar Wins/loses early 2013-14
Long story short I'm going with Rekkles. If this was a thread maybe 2 years ago before Fnatic went from 0-4 to actually make it out of groups against teams on the regular that were in holes at tournaments only to bounce back from losing records to winning records while Double has been matched up vs teams that get curved stomped by pretty much every region/at Worlds I would go with Doublelift but the history and overall performance is in the pudding.

Rekkles very easily
Both suck but if I had to pick one, Rekkles.
At least he's got heart.
I think Rekkles is better even though I prefer doubelift. Basing this on world's performance and how Rekkles is relied on to carry more.

0-4, NA is in it rightful place, Not going to make it out of groups
