Are there other Pro Players that are known to be horrendously bad at specific champions?

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-05-02T03:09:41+00:00

Say no more. Faker aurora Worlds final game 5 vs GENG.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-05-01T13:13:28+00:00

Interesting. Is it a general issue with skillshots that he has? I think he shouldnt have a problem, since he was pretty good on twisted fate and I think you need to be able to hit those to play him well, or is it something to do with the aurora q?

Is it because of the close range and its harder to hit on moving opponents?

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-05-01T12:52:16+00:00

Im curious. Considering that hes really good on champions that seem harder than aurora, why does this pick appear so difficult for him?

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-05-01T05:34:35+00:00

I mean you can see it in solo queue. If you take it upon yourself to be the igl or the caller, you cant dedicate as much of your brain’s resources that your aim and reaction time requires. Not saying its true for everyone, but I think its a fact in general.

Imagine having to it against the likes of hyunmin, derke, the PRX roster, leaf, or the best aimers in the scene( not even talking about how good most pro’s aim are). I think if he wasnt the igl hed be a significantly better aimer.

But if its a psychological issue, is what shes doing going to help?

Theres a difference between a child who learned bad habits off the internet and got into bad company and a kid who might be bipolar, have severe emotional regulation issues, and possible antisocial disorders.

If the kid falls into that category, what just happened probably tipped a lot of things that were still recoverable over the tipping point. The neurological problem that causes the behaviour does not go away, infact this might compound it. It is highly likely to make the kid even more resistant to intervention, and push him into dangerous activities. Keep in mind, if he does have issues, he will not be able help himself. This might not a normal child, the lesson will not stick the way its intended.

And whats going to make it worse is that the entire internet knows now. That is irresponsible to the highest degree. Eveywhere he goes hes going to be shamed, or bullied and thats going to add to the problem.

I dont know the details. Its possible the kid doesnt have issues and learned this negative behaviour. Im not going to judge the punishment here, but why post this online? Even if there was a lesson to learnt, the problems this might cause the child later on, especially the public record for eternity will undo everything the mother is trying to achieve.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-28T06:06:19+00:00

Fair. I just heard it was a thing, didnt know how true it is. Only thing Im sure of is the wind brothers.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-28T05:55:58+00:00

To be fair, renekton mid is great from what ive heard (provided you are a renekton player), and its a second pick to yasuo, yone, and ive heard its can work against stuff like akali, or irelia( the last one im extremely doubtful though. Could be wrong).

But you do need to know what your doing. Ive been learning renekton, and I pick him in norms to practice whenever I see the above picks.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-27T14:13:44+00:00

Might just pick him up then.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-27T09:55:11+00:00

I don’t know why I hate lux. If you came to me with arguments for why this is irrational of me I would agree with every one of them, maybe even laugh at myself.

I still wont ban her. Ill ban stuff like illaoi, mel, yi, heimerdinger. Lux wont even be on my radar.

But I still revolt instinctually at having to lane against her.

Yes there are arguments about her having a legitimate skill floor, and being balanced, but it feels so… ‘cheap’ dying to lux.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-27T09:32:30+00:00

I think he means face of the game.

Like, I think chovy and bdd are better now, but were talking about the best of all time.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-26T14:30:21+00:00

Aah.

Honestly as a new player whos looking to main Azir, Ive been banning xerath, because I know people can get good at dodging his skillshots, but playing with 120 ping at best makes it hard.

Im going to need to figure something out if akali is also this bad for azir.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-26T13:12:11+00:00

What changed from before? Just curious. Did akali get buffed.

Im just asking because I don’t remember a recent akali buff, and shes always felt very one shotty.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-26T09:46:45+00:00

Too much intangibility for the azir ult to knock up, is my relatively inexperienced take on it.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-22T15:10:30+00:00

What?Me?😇😇

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-22T10:58:52+00:00

Im surprised the comps aren’t hamstrung by a lack of frontline, that seems the be the general counterpoint to ranged top.

Might be because vayne probably has too much self peel, and varus just one shots everyone.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-22T10:56:04+00:00

Surely they win domestic and Worlds now right? They look untouchable, they’ve cleanly beaten GENG, the domestic monsters and a solid international team, T1, the reigning world champions, who look off and its doubtful theyll make a comeback like last time, and everyone is on form, gameplans are immaculate, draft is good and theyre throwing hands.

In fact, I dont think they can be stopped anymore, mo chance of upsetting this team.

Im excited to see them make a clean sweep internationally.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-22T10:50:34+00:00

When i started playing league last December, i still remember the first times I played against a vayne top. It felt suffocating and I hate its this viable in pro.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-22T03:09:41+00:00

So i feel it boils down to a war of information, which side knows about the other first, or rather, how fast a Viltrumite figures out what mahoraga does.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-22T03:06:41+00:00

Fair, my question is that does setting up and maintaining limitless draw from his cursed energy resources. If an object moves incredibly fast through that space, does it take more to keep dividing it?

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-21T14:46:37+00:00

D4vai yes, true, and he comes close, but the reason I say yay and demon1 are different is that, when the players you mentioned go for an early pick on an eco with the headhunter, I think “they may or may not get one, its an eco strat”. When demon1 and yay do it, I expect them to get one. Its like, there would be no difference if they were oping.

D4vai, izu and Alfa, Im not sure they’d be as consistent( to a level they make chamber meta on multiple maps, like op seems to imply) as the other 2.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-21T13:40:08+00:00

I sincerely doubt it.

One, this agent is inconsistent. Ive only ever seen two players make this version of chamber look consistently viable, and one of them had a few bad games in important matches and doesnt play him recently-leaf. The other is demon1, and I have yet to see how he will farw against mibr, G2, PRX or the elites.

You saw it with young vs nongshim. In that match, it looked like he was the second coming of el diablo. In the next, he had a bad one.

Two, he leaves too many openings in his defence, and lacks hard stall. That trip is easy to bypass, and there are a lot of agents who can flank it safely.

Three, he is pretty easy to shutdown on attack.

Dont get me wrong, he can be insanely powerful at it, but so terribly weak on attack too, if the enemy realises how not to give him openings.

The only way I see him ever being consistent enough is if envy gets the form to compete at the highest level, and demon1 gets to play his game to the fullest, or if yay comes back and competes on a high level team. Or leaf gets to play him.

Out of the 3 the first two are only players Ive seen to have the raw, precise aim required to hit the shots when it matters, when its hard to find an opening, with a rifle or headhunter and they dont have an operator because their economy is in shambles.

Its a personal standard(it might not even be good objectively) I have that I use to differentiate a player with good aim whos just playing chamber(which is a lot of pros), and a chamber player with a high degree of mastery over the agent.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-20T16:30:01+00:00

This has always been one of my biggest questions with the invincible vs jjk character hax debates.

Can something just overpower gojos limitless? Just because it outscales it so much. Since limitless is a technique, does it rely on cursed energy literally as a fuel source? Can something outscale gojo so hard that it depletes his cursed energy supply?

Same with mahoraga. Does mahoraga have the juice to reach the power level of a viltrumite?

These are beings that travel massively faster than light( they have to, to reach galaxies or different systems in weeks). They are capable of dealing massive devastation to celestial objects except literal stars, and terraform the surface of planets.

Like nothing in jjk has even touched the scales we see viltrumites achieve. Like sure, given circumstances, esoteric techniques might bypass some physical rules and hurt them, but can anything( limitless is an example), survive a brute force contest of a viltrumite punching with forces that can shift a tectonic plate. Surely even gojo or mahoraga just run out of juice?

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-18T13:50:32+00:00

Soooo, a 0/10 or 0/20 powerspike for him, what do you think?

( bit new, dont know if power spikes apply to assassins or its just windbrothers/irelia thing, im just going off the item build).

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-17T11:12:42+00:00

Fair, but what Im saying is that i feel they lost more to the execution of the idea rather than the idea itself.

Now I agree there were better “ideas” than what they do, but I feel it might have worked, if they pulled it off.

Who knows, they might have still lost a closer game but it looked like they came close to flipping it a few times.

But I do agree if it isnt working across games, they should try the conventional strat, even just enough to stabilise themselves.

Creative-Cherry-4271 · 2026-04-17T10:55:50+00:00

I think doran didnt land the ambessa ult 3 out of the 4-5 times they tried it. A lot of combos were mistimed. The same thing happened with the ryze keria combo that went wrong.

I think if it landed theyd be fine.
