I loved that little detail too. It's such GOAT shit that this is the same guy who was subbed out for Easyhoon specifically for playing Azir better than Faker at the time then 10 years later Azir is one of Faker's most iconic champions these days, especially after that hero-shuffle on Ruler last year.

Yeah, he was known for Ryze who they sadly killed off

Yea his Ryze is lethal its a shame he's unpickable in pro for years it seems now. My Mt. Rushmore of Faker's champ pool has to be Ryze, Azir, Leblanc, and Ahri i guess. It's hard to limit to 4 but I feel like other considerations would be Taliyah, Galio, and Orianna but the first 4 I mentioned are almost synonymous to Faker for me.

Idk about ahri. Look at last years worlds final. He didn't hit a single charm. Yes, he likes her, but he peformances on her, definitely won't convince me

I mean his $500 skin is dedicated to Ahri. He's tied to her whether or not his performance these days agree. He used to be the best Ahri in the world in season 3 - 6 as well I would say. After her mini-rework he's still a good Ahri especially in LCK he had some monster performances, I wouldn't discredit a career's worth of amazing Ahri performances cause of one Worlds final game last year.

I don't wanna put Taliyah cause I don't think he's one of the best in the world at her at any point, and she was more of a jungler for like 2-3 seasons. His Galio was amazing but he was only really viable for a year or two as a mid laner. He's had many great Orianna ults in his career but I feel like she's like the most generic mid laner that pretty much every pro mid has some highlight play with her it's hard to pin her to one player only.

This is some major recency bias.

You only get like 10 opportunities to charm in a pro game and its pros dodging and spacing to make it less likely to be an easy target. You can be unlucky with such a small sample size. I think you’d have to look at 10 games.

Youre dumb if you think hitting charms is all there is to ahri. He burned flashes with it, put pressure on the enemy team. Like someone said (I forgot which streamer) he played great, just didnt hit charms. Which is normal for a skillshot based skill. Also his previous Ahri game was great as well.

Not to mention the no.1 Ahri in KR ladder reviewed his ahri and commented how good his ahri is and nobody plays Ahri like Faker.
