!With Faker obviously pushing his GOAT status even further after the demolishing of JDG,!<
Who would you say is 2-5?
Faker, Ruler, Rookie, Caps, TheShy
No particular order apart from Faker being obviously number 1:
Faker, Deft, Ruler, Uzi, Mata
Funnily enough I am trying to build some stats to see who is the greatest and for now : Faker, Rookie, Deft kinda clears everyone by a mile then it depends how much you consider worlds compared to other competitions. You have Uzi, meiko, ruler, canyon, SM, Doinb, Caps, TheShy, Smeb…
- Faker: GOAT
- Caps: just Claps
- Jankos: Jungle Grandpa
- TheSHY: 0/0/0 Rumble diff
- Showmaker: *insert Ksante copypasta*
Take this tierlist with a grain of salt
My top 5 in terms of my favorites and not necessarily the undisputed best. And one per role would be
Top - Marin, that 2015 worlds he was an absolute machine, macro, micro, shot calling he had it all Jungle - Diamondprox to this day he’s the only one that made watching jungle exciting for me Mid - it’s faker like I don’t even need to explain Adc - Uzi, don’t think there will ever be a better player in terms of pure mechanics and micro Management in terms of positioning. When lol gets there hall of fame he needs to be the second person inducted after faker Support - Mata, he could do it all and that saw team from 2014 is still the most cohesive team I’ve ever seen play league of legends and I believe a large part of that was due to matas leadership, shot calling and ability to facilitate his teammates
All opinions and I’m always open to discuss
Best players in terms of skill (relative to era): 1 - Faker 2 - TheShy 3 - Rookie (basically the god of Laning phase before the other gods even joined the game) 4 - Keria (higher if he was better on some engage supports) 5 - Uzi (the only truly ultra dominant adc back in the day)
HM: Zeus (insane mechanical prowess), Chovy/ShowMaker/Knight (lane gods, SM only one to translate it to a world champ), Canyon (tied with Uzi and Keria imo), Mata (original god sup), MadLife (first support superstar), Deft (insane peak but kinda didn’t have that dawg in him), Dade (we don’t talk about worlds), Flame (the first toplaner god), Nuguri (too clean, too good).
Goat is smth like faker, rookie, deft, Uzi, meiko or smth like that, best formula I got while getting a 5-20 spots that made sense.
- Faker
- Ruler
That 2 is for sure. Insane longetivity from both of them, and titles. If Ruler won worlds, there was an arguement to be made that he is number 1, but wirh them losing and Faker being in top form, that is pretty much out of question.
