Puppeh

Troy Wells, competing under the handle Puppeh, is an American professional League of Legends player who occupies the bot lane for Return of the Middlesticks. At 24 years old, he belongs to a generation of North American marksmen who cut their teeth in the region’s amateur and academy circuits before settling into a full-time competitive role. His nationality places him within a domestic scene that has long prized aggressive, mechanically demanding carries, and Puppeh fits comfortably into that mold.

Role and Playstyle

As a bot laner, Puppeh shoulders one of the most position-sensitive jobs on the map. The role demands a marksman who can survive the volatility of the early laning phase, scale into a reliable damage engine by the mid game, and then position flawlessly during the chaotic team fights that decide most matches. It is a job measured in inches and milliseconds, where a single mistimed step can end a game and a perfectly threaded auto-attack can win one. Puppeh’s champion habits reflect that duality.

Signature Champions

His pool leans on Kai’Sa, Jinx, and Aphelios, three carries that reward players comfortable with layered decision-making. Kai’Sa asks him to weigh item breakpoints and to dive into fights with her repositioning dash; Jinx rewards patience and snowballing, punishing opponents who let her collect resets; Aphelios places a heavy premium on weapon management and lane-tracking discipline. Together they paint a picture of a marksman who values flexibility and mechanical range over a single comfort pick.

Playing for Return of the Middlesticks, Puppeh operates within the North American ecosystem, where roster churn and organizational shuffling are constants. Environments like this reward adaptability, and a bot laner who can slot into different team compositions and duo pairings tends to prolong his shelf life at the competitive level.

Looking forward, Puppeh’s outlook rests on consistency. Marksmen who convert clean laning phases into repeatable late-game performances tend to attract attention from more established organizations. If he continues to refine his positioning and lean on his versatile champion pool, he has a credible path to steady, meaningful minutes in North American competition.
