The former World Championship king publicly criticized League of Legends, but the "self-destruction" in 2023 is the core reason

Former World Championship king affirms that League of Legends is "slowly dying"

Recently on his stream channel, Doinb - one of the most famous former players in the Chinese League of Legends scene, was extremely disappointed when his stream views continued to remain low. It's important to know that just last year, before he temporarily "disappeared", Doinb was the League of Legends player with the second largest audience in the LPL, even more than TheShy.

Doinb returned to League of Legends after a long time of disappearance but no longer had the same charm as before

At that time, it was recorded that Doinb had a viewership of more than 100k - more than many matches in the professional League of Legends village, even in large areas. However, his current number, according to Newsqq, has decreased about 10 times compared to before.

Doinb himself also affirmed: "LOL here (LPL) is dying. Streaming this game is still very fun but people don't want to watch it. Not only me, but Uzi and Ning have also switched to PUBG. Maybe in the near future I will I'll try to stream half of it League of Legends and half of it PUBG."

He affirmed that League of Legends is "dying" in the LPL and gave the example of Uzi also switching to streaming more PUBG

What is the real problem of Doinb and League of Legends in LPL?

In fact, PUBG has grown stronger in recent years in the land of billions of people, but compared to League of Legends, it is still quite far away in terms of community size. The only thing is, when a gamer has just finished playing intense games, or finished watching tournaments, few people are eager to watch more livestreams about League of Legends.

In addition, Doinb himself is also responsible for the decrease in views. While in his prime, he himself "disappeared" indefinitely. The audience waited for Doinb long enough to switch to other channels.

But right now, the audience doesn't have many reasons to watch the stream, and Doinb also disappeared long enough for his viewers to switch to other channels.

In addition, at the present time, the tournaments have not returned and the transfer market has also ended. Therefore, instead of spending time watching the livestream, it would be more reasonable for the audience to directly experience the game. It is inevitable that the number of people watching League of Legends streams will decrease from now on. Because if it weren't for "top views" like TheShy or T1, almost anyone would have a hard time attracting viewers' attention during this time.
