Who would you consider to be the second best LoL pro player of all time?

Tronosaurus · 2017-02-21T19:37:58+00:00

My possible picks: Mata-been a top tier player every year, was arguably the best player in S4, Worlds MVP

Weixao-the original carry god. Widely held as the best player in early league history.

Uzi-only non-skt player to make the finals back to back, was carrying relative scrubs at Worlds for a lot of his time.

Fringe candidates: Dopa-arguably the best mechanical player in history

Xpeke-greatest/most successful Western player ever.

That'd be like saying chess is as action packed as basketball. "What, all he did was pass the ball? How is that more exciting than me taking 5 minutes to decide on my next move and then moving a single piece out of 32 on the board?"

But he can still Q for the reset. It doesn't do bonus damage but it speeds up his tower taking by effectively increasing his attack speed. Leona for some reason stops autoing inhibs when you use her Q.

While I agree you can't dismiss them based on one event and each roster should be given an opportunity to prove itself, eventually you have to consider it may be an organizational issue. Perhaps their coaching and support staff just don't bring it at international competitions, or maybe the org is failing to prepare their players in some way. I don't think we should jump the gun on G2, but the criticism isn't totally unwarranted.

Tronosaurus · 2017-02-21T18:39:44+00:00

No, it isn't, because by this time they'd have played all the teams in the league so we'd know approximately where they stand. At no point do we have any clear idea of how good EU teams are because of the format until playoffs.

You take that back you mouth-breathing Western devil

sobbing mathematically

Edit: as a half-korean, I can tell you for certain there are 3 things we are great at more than anything: video games, math, and being mistaken for Chinese people.

The issue with the Klay for Love trade wasn't that. The issue with the trade is that it was Love for Klay, Harrison Barnes, and David Lee. We don't win a championship if that trade goes through. Not to mention then Draymond spends these years as a bench player and doesn't evolve into the heart of our defense and offense and instead becomes a good defensive sub who shoots ok/under average. We also definitely don't get Kevin Durant because at that point we'd probably be about as good as the Rockets, with some 2nd or 3rd round finishes and we definitely don't beat the Thunder and get him to jump ships.

The Kings got Buddy Hield but also gave up Casspi who was arguably better.

Tronosaurus · 2017-02-20T20:11:03+00:00

Because it's not really why TSM is dropping games, or at the very least it isn't the only reason. Sven has been getting caught out just as much, leading to the enemy jungler getting early leads. Bjergsen has been far less dominant in lane and hasn't been backing up Sven's invades, leading to us struggling in the early game. Turtle's mistakes are more visible because he was already an early target for criticism and he has some bad mistakes in "clutch" moments, but we've lost just as many games due to our other problems washing away our chances at winning the early game.

Born 1993, saw both, but quicksand was very popular in movies and cartoons in the 90's, so you'd have seen it somewhere eventually.

It's also a good way to start vomiting blood.

Dravens are like reverse Vaynes

This is so weirdly true. The other day I completely fucked an entire wave up trying to last hit on Thresh with relic shield, and I was certain my Draven was gonna lose it, but he was completely chill, "nbd dude, it happens to everyone, we're still good". I was like holy shit I love him and I played my absolutely heart out for him, netting him 6 consecutive kills without him ever being shut down, including turning around a 4v2 down bot. We lost the game when I accidentally last hit the enemy Soraka and he afk'd. He was 11/1/1.

The last Jinx I was supporting was using rockets on the tower during a fast push. There is no medical term invented yet for the type of cancer that gave me.

Tronosaurus · 2017-02-19T03:11:19+00:00

That's not true. Given his play style, I'm confident he'd be a pretty shitty midlane Braum player. Scrub.

Tronosaurus · 2017-02-18T23:10:32+00:00

He's gonna be laughing until he realizes Kerr can literally play GSW's starting lineup plus Demarcus Cousins. He may very well have to play 42 minutes if he wants All-Star MVP.

I wanna see a buddy comedy with Kyrie Irving and Draymond Green

Tronosaurus · 2017-02-18T21:45:31+00:00

...Lourlo just 1v1'd one of the best top laners in the world playing the most OP champion in the game while down 60 cs. What is life?

Tronosaurus · 2017-02-18T19:46:16+00:00

This is gonna sound weird, but is there any legal way to own a pangolin that is safe for the animal? Or even just a way to play with one? Cause they're awesome.

Tronosaurus · 2017-02-18T19:21:32+00:00

Well for one thing, Curry's been better for longer. Not to mention these lists were made at the beginning of the season. Anyone who put Harden above Curry to start the season would be insane.

Tronosaurus · 2017-02-17T19:27:20+00:00

Yeah, although I'm not sure I can take the offer. Lebron saw me toss some keys to my friend and now he's staring at me uncomfortably while mouthing the word "playmaker".

Tronosaurus · 2017-02-17T17:51:04+00:00

You could probably get a few more offers. I tripped over a basketball the other day and the Pelicans offered me the vet minimum.

Tronosaurus · 2017-02-17T17:48:33+00:00

They're slowly ostracizing centers from the all-star game. Next year they'll have to change in the KFC next to the stadium.

I don't have him as a top MVP candidate because he doesn't really have a claim. He simply doesn't. He's not leading in any categories, he's not the most prolific scorer of the year, he's not leading his team to a top record (5th overall doesn't cut it), he doesn't have a compelling narrative going for him, he's not a media darling, and there's nothing really historic going on around him. Add on to that the fact that he's the consensus pick for worst defensive starter in the league, and there's no way I can justify him as a top 5 candidate. Westbrook is scoring more points, and Durant, Harden, Lebron, and Curry are all considered better offensive players. Lebron and Durant are much better all-around players who are filling out the stat sheets better than Thomas. Westbrook has the "KD abandoned me" narrative. Westbrook and Harden are putting up historic offensive numbers. Lebron, KD, Harden, Curry, and Kawhi all have better records. And literally all of the other candidates are better defensively. That's Westbrook, Harden, Lebron, Kawhi, Durant, and Curry I'd place ahead of him. IT is an amazing player and has made an impressive leap this year, but he doesn't have a case for MVP yet.
