The only person that got some notoriouty for it was Zekant, in solo queue, then it saw maybe like 2 or 3 progames before Riot to a giant steaming shit on it, it wasn't used as PADC iirc, it was used as a dedicated splitpusher, because of how stupid her Q was at wave clearing waves

Velocity used it in an ultra fast push comp with ezreal jungle. Won against marn, lost against dig.
I remember wrecking kids with TP janna mid, once nearly got a pentakill on her

Yeah I don't know why people don't reference the dignitas comp, which was really the first iteration of it. CLG ran comps to try to just burn the kog down and still couldn't do it.

edit: finished reading write up, pretty good analysis of GE's juggermaw, would have also liked to seen some contrast versus how Snake runs PADC, and their juggermaw comp. IMO, snake's insane teamfighting abilities make PADC comps, and juggermaw comps a lot more impressive to watch. just my opinion.
If you ever see this reply, I will admit that my analysis only extends so far as I do not watch LpL. Working a full time job leaves me with little time to watch League, so I prioritize catching up on LCK and NA LCS (C9 has been my favorite team for a while). Hopefully as I look to change things in my life, I can dedicate more time to watching League and improve my sources for writing. Thank you for the feedback though! Funnily enough, I was told that Dignitas in season 2 was an early innovater for PADC. I just didn't have the time to list every team which played around this style. It's why I cut out discussion of CLG's climb from relegation.

I'm not quite sure how workflow work in regards to how you guy get your articles out, but I'm surprised no staff mentioned the Dig games from IPL. The write up was quite good, especially the nuanced difference between PADC with lulu+Kog, vs Juggermaw.
To be fair, iirc the Dignitas comp would often throw all their stuff on the Mundo to have him act as the juggernaut while the AD carry acts more as the clean-up guy.
But yea, Dignitas was the original inventors of the solo-lane support.

Dive wasn't as strong back then as it is now, so it could make the mundo invincible, or bring the kog to mundo levels of tankiness. Either would work so long as the target absorbs cooldowns and doesn't die in the process.
