Peanut sets a massive record right after retirement
After bowing out against Gen.G in the quarter-finals of the 2025 World Championship, Peanut has officially bid farewell to professional League of Legends to fulfill his obligations. With a long career journey, Peanut deserves all the accolades for his contributions to professional League of Legends. Notably, Peanut has also become the most successful Nidalee player in the history of League of Legends.
Accordingly, the “cougar” was introduced at the same time that League of Legends emerged in the gaming world, and is one of the first champions of this long-standing game. Many players have marked their careers with the champion Nidalee, such as Bengi and Canyon. However, Peanut is the player with the highest win rate with Nidalee/number of games, having used Nidalee in a total of 71 games with a win rate of 63%.
This figure for Peanut surpasses the player in second place, Canyon, as the current jungle of Gen.G has a higher win rate (81%) but has only used Nidalee in 58 matches so far.
But Canyon could definitely surpass Peanut in the future
It must be said that with only a 13-game difference, Canyon has a feasible chance to equal and surpass Peanut’s record. Nidalee has long been considered Canyon’s “secret weapon” and is only used when his team faces difficulties. Therefore, even though she is out of the meta, Nidalee in Canyon’s hands remains a dangerous choice for any team.
Meanwhile, Peanut will likely find it difficult to maintain his record, as at the moment, he has said goodbye to the professional League of Legends scene. Even after completing his obligations and returning, no one can guarantee whether the meta, his form, or skills will still favor Peanut. But for now, “Little Bean” has left behind another impressive achievement for the community to remember him for a long time.
