In 2009, there were players who were pretty much deemed the factions oracle. For example goldmonkee was one ST's. Who do you guys think is the best in each faction? Most games played does not necessary mean that player is the ONE. Who's your dream team? Who did you look up to when you started? As I said mine was gold because he was amazing to watch. Learned a lot from him whether it be positioning or ap management.
I've not been here for long but maybe that means i represent more what is perceived at the moment as the "ideal" faction player (doesnt mean the best player in general, just more linked to the faction) SP - ballballer IS - Markoth UD - agirgis/nepyonisdead KF - Karmavore/xirone as storic players, etherielin for recent effort ST - ? FW - themacca for the effort, kalasle for the worms and gametheory FS - ? seen flyingfinn play collective quite often SL - Zeya's combo-rush bgs. Tinydragon over everybody in any faction. Really i've seen him play all of them in just 1 year, and win a lot. With everything. also i really enjoyed watching drache and his FS/SP split, i think he is a really good player.
Diaboliz3r - FS thered2003 - KF DevilsRath - IS calisk - ST Thurwell ahazalitt - FW (only player I can think of is Thurwell, its always stuck with me because he was the #1 player when I first came to the game, and then consistently did well there after despite not being that active) ballballer - SP BurnPyro/Molecl Ryvriath - SL xxLordQxx?, badgerale? - UD (not sure who was best back in the day, I know there were a lot).
Hard to pick one as it changes as the years went by so mine will have a few for each most likely ST-Goldmonkee/Calisk/WarFoot KF-Scrampy/TheNidhogg/RedDain/Thered FS-TheRavager/Taylor/Disboliz3r IS-Paladin/Greatbeard SP-Neil/Konung/noobballer(aka ballballer) FW-Krebmart/Yoba/Banshee SL-Leviathan/Draxonroth/Molecl/Revenancer UD-PoxJunkie/Lepakko/LordQ
This is pretty much how my list would look as well. I would add Sinwind under UD. kthx under KF (Believe that was his primary but he played a lot of splits too I believe).
Funny story I randomly got matched with Shaz on Overwatch a month or two ago. Added him afterwards and he plays a ton of it.
My memory is really hazy. I think it was around 07-09 *Flex Picks* (A lot of the top players plays split bgs) During this era Gainer 900 was always #1 Nihilarian was always #8 he played a lot of SP/SL Ryvirath UD-*I was trained under Caine* ----/Sepulcher/xxlordxx/agirgis/raiszel/badger SP-Hashinshin/Lrob IS-Quexo FW-Ahazlitt/Soulfear(lol)/Yobanchi SL-molecl/krezio? FS-Ravager KF-Im pretty sure around this time I kept seeing Tinydragon play with appretice mages and elven mages. (extremely efficient back then) /Covell? ST-? I know i'm leaving out a lot of people but it's been a decade for me.
I used to have a lot of good matches against gold I usually remember our last match while he was in his prime was a fairly lengthy near hour long fight I think we went through our full dock twice lol. was a good match. this was before game time was shortened to like 6 minutes heh.
Is he being just as much of a meme in the LoL community as he is here? Or is that a different hashinshin with the same personality
He ever plan to come back to pox? What about some of the other names in this thread (I assume you would know more of them than me) for the playstation release?
IS-Markoth IS-Axeraiser IS-IamIajabmaka IS-Cydna IS-TinyDragon IS-Firk ST-Calisk SP- old Hashis he was great watching
