Jian “Uzi” Zi-Hao is widely regarded as one of the greatest ADC players in League of Legends history, but he recently named another player as the best in the role. Although Uzi has defined the ADC position for many years, he believes someone else now deserves the top spot.
The ADC, or attack damage carry, is responsible for dealing massive damage and eliminating opponents, especially in the late game. This role is key to securing space and objectives on the Rift.
In a TikTok video shared by lolesports, Uzi participated in a winner-stays-on format where he compared top ADC players. When Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk’s name came up, Uzi consistently chose him over other stars such as Gumayusi, Jackeylove, Imp, Viper, Deft, and even himself.
"Once Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk was mentioned, there was little space for anyone else to take his spot."
Although Uzi was nearly unbeatable during his peak years and set the standard for ADC play, Ruler’s recent performances and statistics have brought him closer to, or even surpassed, Uzi in the eyes of some fans and analysts.
Uzi retired in 2023 after a dominant career in China, playing for teams such as Bilibili Gaming, Royal Never Give Up (RNG), and EDward Gaming. His impact on the ADC role remains influential.
"For many, Uzi has long been considered the best ADC ever, but in recent years, Ruler has brought the gap closer and, in some eyes, taken over."
Author’s summary: Uzi, once the undisputed GOAT ADC, now recognizes Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk as the best bot laner, reflecting the evolving landscape of League of Legends esports.
