What happened to Canyon?
I started following and playing League in early 2021, when Canyon was on Damwon. Arguably, that's peak Canyon, the player who made me fall for the jungle role. He was so smart around vision, had flashy plays, used to be a driving force for Damwon's success. He is the reason I started supporting GenG after all, since I was so hyped when he joined. The simple question is: what happened to him? From Nidalee, Kayn, Karthus, Lee Sin (imo his 2nd best champ, just below Nida), he transitioned into a tank jungler due to the meta a while ago, and now he seems to have lost his edge. No more aggression, no more game winning plays. Yes, he is reliable on Skarners or Jarvans, but i miss old Canyon. At least that's how i see it, maybe i am wrong, but besides a slump or dip in form every now and then, i feel that he has lost his spark and his game-defining playstyle that put him in the GOAT jungler conversation.
What do you guys think? Is it because of the meta and changes to the game in the past few years? Is it because he has become a facilitator to Chovy and Ruler? Is it because junglers have adapted eventually to his playstyle?
