Yeah sorry we finished the script right when MSI started😅
@LoLAthlete this video takes 1 month to complete?
@@LoLAthleteas compensation, do a Chovy documentary next ( ͡°ᴥ ͡° ʋ)
@@fth2780 he porbably just does it in free time bro hes not a super massive channel its probably passion and cant support him
@@LoLAthletePin a comment brother
How can you not have Mata? He was one of the first, if not the first, support to use vision they we do today. He practically invented the vision control roadmap
The supports got shafted in this video, forever the unappreciated role.
The most important are Diamond Prox , this guy invented a way to play lol with the jungle that we continue to play today , that's amazing
True, and as far i know he was THE original lee sin god and the person who showed how terrifying shyvana was back then and innovated with counter jungling
@@tyronegundran4549 you forgot his evelynn, he was a menace on this champ back in seasons 2 and 3
Not exactly way back jungle is a role for Dota.
@@kristinaeusebio221 what are you talking about? he didnt invent the jungle role lmao, he invented the way its played today which wasnt done before
@@ultratronger tagged the wrong person bruh
Ambition didn’t retire early, man played since s1 and was considered the best midlaner in the transition between s2-s3 worlds. That’s at least 7 years of playing as a pro.
I mean it's hard to remember you were once a midlaner when once upon a time, a man named Faker forced you to play somewhere else
Ambition got clapped so hard that he played jungle instead
@@eryalmario5299no he didnt get clapped, he just decided to roleswap. that khazix evolve incident wont be the reason for his roleswap lmao
Great video! I would also include Ruler, the consistency he had for the past years is crazy
Bro you make really good videos and on topics people should want for this game, forever sharing your content
Appreciate you
Wheres KiwiKid, most deaths per game 😂😂
Imo we forgot Smeb
Nah, i'm not at all sold on the "Let's exclude Bengi, Bang and Wolf because they played with Faker, at least for the time being" idea.
Don't forget that Bang and Wolf constantly went to lane against the likes of Uzi in their prime and still went toe to toe. If they were even skill-wise to one of the more prominents candidates and then you add that they actually won things (Bunch of LCKs, MSI (2 for Bang and Wolf and 1 for Bengi) and Worlds (3 for Bengi and 2 for Bang and Wolf)) they should also be considered prime candidates to join the HoL.
I think Riot could induct both Bang & Wolf as bot duo on hall of legends, where they can make skin of botlane duo like xayah & rakan
Nah Bang and Wolf got fucked so hard by Uzi in 2017, that Galio incident saved their ass. They couldnt even beat PraY and GorillA in 2016-2017
They are great players, and I think the video also acknowledges that. I think the point was that they may be inducted, but probably not yet, so soon after Faker was inducted so that other regions/teams/achievements/etc. can be represented/honored.
great video bro. i am enjoying these videos
why you dont include ruler?
Yeah, I'm surprised that Ruler isn't on this list. He was the 2017 Worlds Finals MVP, got a Gold Medal in the 2022 Asian Games, and was pretty much on track for a Golden Road in 2023 until T1 defeated JDG in the semifinals of Worlds.
Viper also not there
@@mrbennimax6835 brotha uhhhhh
@@radmiral9048 viper best adc period
Really informative video, I like it!
you got my sub
another banger from LoLAthlete 🔥🔥🔥
"The Shy is the best toplaner" then proceeds to go 1/16 in world finals
Did you watch the video?
He's always been the best toplaner depending on the day lol
Mata, Pawn, Looper, Dandy, Imp, Marin, Bengi and Scout come to mind
MaRin hasnt achieve anything since winning lck and Worlds
With time, I’d say Keria will likely become a part of this if he continues to be the way he is.
He is a literal Support God and basically plays ahead and defines support metas long before everyone else.
@@naui5257 if we ignore the fact that ON gapped him
@@idolesonnotyou1877 I mean, one example doesn’t completely demerit Keria’s overall performance thus far. He’s still one of the best supports in the LCK in recent years and has enough touting from other players including Faker and Deft. He’s also a season MVP so he has cred too
@@idolesonnotyou1877 This is a purposeless, pointless comment. Losing one match or series or not winning every single tournament you're in in a TEAM BASED GAME, mind you, doesn't mean as much as people somehow believe it does. Keria is undoubtedly one of the greatest supports of all time. This is indisputable, anybody who is good at the game or even has the eye for it knows this. ON is good, but he's not the topic here. Keria is. Keria is an S tier support and has been throughout pretty much all of his tenure so far.
No Rookie??? He was for years one of the best midlaners and a world champion.
Years??? 2 years at max

@@dmachado100.?
That shadow diss to bengi is noted, he getting in the next 3 inductees
you forgot
-Diamond Prox, the sole innovator to how jungle is played today
-Froggen, the man shaped Modern Baron Buff
-PraY and GorrilA, the actual people with the greatest What If's ever even more than Khan and innovators when it came to botlane.
-Smeb and Marin, the Gold Standard of Toplaners. The most flexible toplaners that can play any champions despite being on or off meta.(legit these guys play carries on tank meta and tanks on the infamous Juggernaut meta)
Marin mainly played renek, rumble, gnar and maokai. Not off meta at all in season 5. Smeb, i agree.
Went to check and not even renek. Just the other 3. How does a top laner main 3 champs and only gets banned on fizz? Because someone else is getting his champs banned. Ofc you know who is.
@@mkyt206 I feel like Marin is a victim of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. he picks whatever Kkoma and Wolf thinks what's best for the comp which is basically Rumble, Gnar and Maokai and yes Renekton. I've known Marin as a scary Fiora and GP in SoloQ. we all know SKT can play different champions but held back by probably picking meta and executing their plan perfectly. your point still stands but if the meta was anything but that I feel like Marin would still pick whatever Kkoma and Wolf thinks is best and would play them to a tee and perfectly.
@@skrattaoppar9753 No. If you check other seasons you will see he defaults to these 3 and maybe a renekton. He mains those 3 at professional level. It's not SKT keeping him from picking other champs, it's SKT enabling him to pick those champs.
@@mkyt206 like I said he is a talented Fiora and GP in SoloQ. plus you said the same thing.keeping him from playing certain champs is enabling him to pick meta champs
There's so many players that were dismissed in that video
Smeb, Peanut, Clearlove, Mata, Pawn, Bengi, Rookie, Ruler, Meiko, Keria, Marin, Impact, Jankos, Scout, Wolf, Diamondprox, Perkz
Some of these deserves to be in LoL Hall of Fame far more than Bjergsen, Doublelift, Maple or even Karsa
Putting beryl and na players over keria is crazy
MarIN at least deserved a honorable mention. The guys Gnar and Rumble were so amazing!
Love the vid, a little sad not to see either Alex Ich, or Diaondprox mentioned. Their impact on the early days was massive, and some of the strats they pioneered are still relevant to this day c:
But I mean, I think no matter who you picked, someone would get robbed the wrong way xD
Keep up the good work man 🔥
Very solid list of candidates!
Bang and Wolf on their prime were deadly.
nah there's no way you skipped bengi because it would be "too repetitive", bro won worlds 3 times and was the best jungler in the era where jungle was a supportive rather than a carry role
I hope Riot is also going to consider adding personalities to the Hall of Legends that helped shape the e-Sport we so much admire. Like Sjokz being a voice for the players, making them feel comfortable in interviews, especially in the early days when players had only skill but had 0 charisma because they were used to gaming in their moms basement only
Dang people do forget how great MaRin was with SKT way back in 2015.
ye 1 or 2 years .... now compare him to faker... if you put in everyone with good year you have 50 60 names insta
Fantastic video
Thank you :)
I nominate impact, I know it's sounds stupid but impact had many trophy though, He win many LCS finals,1 MSI, 1 world trophy and I believe that he won also a lck trophy. Just add his international tournament appearances.
More of these please
I have one question. Riot dropped a video called The Numbers showing his accomplishements. What are the future inductees gonna feel when they drop their number videos? How long will they be? 30 secs? For example, Chovy. I am a T1 fanatic, and care only for Faker, and hate that GenG is always beating us, but I do respect and admire Chovy for his insane skill, but his lack of international titles (just 1 MSI) doesn't reflect his actual talent
Its so sad how you are focusing mainly on individual skill and titles instead of the actual impact they had on the game...
Like mata who completely reshaped the support role
Like caps who you included but failed to also mention the great creativity he brings to G2 and their drafts
Like keria who single handedly changed the 2023 worlds meta into ranged supports when every single team was playing melee supports and HAD to addapt to ranged
Also why would you even include Rekkles? XD, sure he had a decent career in eu but other than that he has nothing, no overall game impact or impressive titles, are we really going to add players who only had decent careers to the hall of legends??
Idk i feel like this video focused on all the wrong things and missed many actually impactful players, not anyone who has a decent career should be put into this list and this video was full of those players and there are much more players like that if you really want to search for them(369, scout, meiko, jackeylove, crisp, ON, Xun, Yagao, are we really going to add 30 players just because of their decent careers? Thats just dumb and defeats the purpose of the hall of legends), this video missed the whole point of "hall of legends", putting players like rekkles, doublelift, bjergsen, maple next to Faker, Mata, Deft, Caps is just completely disrespectful to the work they have brought into league as a whole
4:54 captain flowers sounds like a dope rapper with the beat in the background
It would be interesting to see Bengi
and Easyhoon on HOL in the future.
Sadly you missed out a lot of people, in 2020 and 2021 worlds the number 1 player in the world was showmaker, but you didn't even include him.
At 2019 and 2022 DoinB was one of the best in conversation, Viper and Ruler are also good. But ye this was your list, not everyones. Just specify it that this was your list and dont generalize it.
I would put showmaker over chovy in terms of international outcome anyday more so over any of those you had mentioned. But chovy deserves the mention so is Showmaker. You just ranked them by popularity, not by skill.
Its crazy you can put doublelift and rekkles but not the best players.
I agree. Ruler and Doinb should be on the list. Showmaker too should be there
@@poringverse You missed the point of Hall of Legends meaning or are you just trolling? The guy literally said in the video what the "criteria" is, so you just baiting people or trolling? While i agree that Showmaker and Doinb both are insane players once in their career, 2019 doinb, 2020-2021 showmaker. This begs the question, is that enough? Ofc NA is trash, but lets take like Rekkles or Caps into this, these players have been on the top since the beginning of the game, multiple years, (Rekkles now fell of), but like Caps for example has done 100x more for league that doinb and Showmaker combined for example (and i know Caps is little unfair because he 100% should be in Hall of Legends). My point is, Hall of Legends isnt a Calculator on "how many medals you have", its recognition on "how much have you done for the league in general", how long have you been on top?, how high was your peak etc etc. You starting to get my point and everyone who knows how hall of fame or "legends" work? For example, Doinb was fcking insane in 2019, and then what? before that what 2018 was he insane? 2020 was he insane? like do you think these things? Like Caps sparked western hope in 2018 and 2019 basically alone, that "west can actually win", Caps is still great and competing with the best in the world after all this time. Ofc nothing comes even close to Faker, and im super happy that Chovy finally won his first international title. This guys list in the video is super accurate and good, only thing i would legit add is Ruler, where is Ruler? Doinb and Showmaker just aint it man even tho they both were in their peak legit top class. (sry for long reply)
@@leevimasalin2301 nice comment :D, I think one possible reason (idk too much about every players' legacy) might be like {doublelift, uzi, deft, rekkles, bang, captain jack} were already adcs considered.
If we tabulate every single position mentioned in this current video to be considered:
top (5): Khan, Flame, TheShy, Bin, xPeke
jungle (2+2*): Canyon, Insec, Bengi*, Karsa*
mid (Faker+4+2*): Faker, Xiaohu, Caps, knight, Chovy, Bjergsen*, Maple*
adc (4+2*): Deft, Bang*, Uzi, Doublelift*, Rekkles, CaptainJack
support (2+1*): Wolf*, Beryl, Madlife
Coach (1): kkoma
* = honorable mentions, including the "ex-skt members"
This means that every role has around 5 players mentioned when including honorable mentions aside from support and coach. I do think Ruler probably should be inducted, but I can also see why he wasn't mentioned compared to the other legacy players, namely the fellow adc Deft and fellow lpl hero xiaohu (there is only one person per role mentioned in the Legacy section). I can also see why he wasn't mentioned compared to the other honorable mentions that seemed to highlight more of the less decorated regions.
Still, upon reflection, there *is* a space just before the honorable mentions category where ruler could have been, but I guess a line had to be drawn somewhere, and Ruler was that line (haha unintentional ruler / line / "measuring" skill joke)
Personally, if I were to name some supports or coaches, I'd mention like Mata or Meiko, and then Keria and the JinAir coach as honorable mentions. Kkoma is the definite top choice for coach, and it makes sense that Beryl with his three worlds wins is mentioned before Mata.
I still think Mata could have been put in a "changing meta" section (that actually didn't end up becoming an explicit section but sorta kinda underlying everything) but there was a whole section about how beryl changed the meta. In this way, I feel like Mata and Ruler are in a similar vein in that yes, they could be included. Yes, they have merit and ways to incorporate them, but I think it's also fine that they weren't mentioned in this video compared to the others we did get due to time constraints.
Wheezes in long post.
the tldr of my comment was "reducing repetitiveness"
also if casters/solo q/streamers/coaches can be added
LS, DoPa, caedrel, and tyler1, among some others could be considered
My boy Impact not getting even mentioned is a crime ngl
The top 10 greatest LoL players in no particular order (besides Faker) are:
1. Faker
2. Deft
3. Uzi
4. Rookie
5. TheShy
6. Xiaohu
7. Khan
8. Canyon
9. Bengi (he did way too damn much to not be listed at least in the top 15)
10. Ruler
I think it is worth mentioning MaRin
Not putting DiamondProx in the OG catagory is a crime imo
amazing video, but I would include dopa as well
I'm a Chovy believer and a GenG fan but putting Canyon and Chovy feels wrong. They're so recent both started in 2018 i guess
Very few players have more acomplishments than canyon tho. If canyon cant get inducted, who else can? Beryl and faker's old teammates?
@@mkyt206 it's not about the accomplishments . Age and their time in the proscene matter more. Uzi Marin Mata Ambition can be inducted to HoL
Huh??? Accomplishments certainly matter. Canyon is already a lock for the Hall of legends you cant tell the story of Damwon without him and how he absolutely was worlds ahead of every Jungler. Not to mention in this years MSI the last 2 series the dude is still playing Godly
I understand only inducing players that don't play professionally anymore ( other than streaming ect) but Faker is definitely an exception to the rule just because of how much of an impact he has. If anyone should be first it should be him. Even if he is still playing it just makes sense
Diamondprox with M5/Gambit defined the concepts of jungling, invading and lane prio as we know them today after so many years, too bad they are often ignored in this type of videos.
lil strange to not put ruler or mata in there but if u were to make a video if every player that deserves to be in thr hall of fame id be way too long
I think truthfully Reginald will be the next. He is the Michael Jordan of TSM, and even has TF blue card plays attached to his name.
DiamondProx? or at least anyone from Moscow5? they revolutionized how we play the game, we still play the game like that today
TL and CLG are the only 2 teams to make finals at an international event. with the TL being more significant cause it was vs iG over than CLG getting lucky that SKT chose RNG over FW.
DoubleLift is a big deal actually, lots of gamers in NA, and even EU, LCK LPL are inspired to play and go pro because of him. WAYY back in season 1, he was one of the most well-known pros since he was very good in his years (and the trashtalks ofcourse). Man literally inspired a generation of pro-players and should be given credits bc of that.
Great video he only thing I would disagree on is I think players like Mata , Marin, Bengi, or wolf should be given at least an honourable
Mention even if they did play beside faker and also rookie and score are a few others I think should probably be on there
There are so much more i wish you included even just like showing a list of honorable mentions like: Marin, Smeb, Ruler, Rooke, Mata, and many more but nevertheless great vid
Doublelift deserves a dishonorable mention; I don't want NA potentially being represented by that. I would rather have someone like Dyrus be selected.
MaRin should have a spot on this video. The Faker of Top Lane
honestly, madlife Thresh or Insec Lee sin skin is 100% coming next. Very popular champs, by memorable players that every league player knows about. If i were to make a prediction, it would indeed be Insec
honestly huge farm leads are more knows as "chovying" nowadays
I knew Doublelift and Bjergsen had to be in this list for it to be complete
somehow you did not put ruler wtf
Chovy is now msi champ he has been undoubtedly the best player in the world the past 2 years at least
Best mid at times sure but best player? No. 2022-Keria, 2023-Ruler, 2020-2021 is a debate between Canyon and Showmaker. This year definitely is Chovy's dominance era
Your CHOKY still far far behind, Xiaohu is miles better than him, 3 MSI title way way better, having go to worlds final, won LPL as well, put your CHOKY behind 😂
@@stevenmah2070what a sad life you got💀 hating on someone you don't even know personally
@@eyaangel618 21 is either Canyon or Viper, could go either way tbh but im more inclined to Viper because he truly was going against stacked competition, Canyon is so good he has not been tested against an opponent of his level yet which is his best argument too
Best player on the world and was getting destroyed by yagao lmao...
Less obvious choices imo: aphromoo, Jankos, Alex Ich, Diamondprox, Levi, Bebe, MaRin
1. Faker 2. Rekkles 3. Uzi 4. Doublelift 5. Selfmade
CoreJJ also not being on here is kinda a sneak while honoring very Little aupport players
I'd say that brTT deserves a spot, BR ain't the BEST REGION (and it will never be), but eSports in LATAM wouldn't be as big if it wasn't for brTT, he was the first one to break the barrier between esports and mainstream media and even tho I never roted for any of his teams, he's a hall of famer for what he did to esports as a whole in LATAM (imo)
Yeah that’s an angle I didn’t really consider, brTT on Pain Gaming was something else
Nah
I might be crazy but i think doinb deserves a spot
He won worlds and lpl so he has some titles and i feel like he was the best player in 2021.
Even if they bombed out of worlds that year the eye factor on that guy was crazy. I‘m really sad hes not playing rn
No Ruler?!
I wonder if the hol is only for pro players or if they will invite others like casters or streamers.
I believe that they will include Coaches and Casters but not streamers
Missing a lot of names tho
No Bang, Wolf? They have more than Uzi in term of titles. No Mata???? No Diamondprox? No Ambition??? No Bengi???? Doublelift, Bjergsen, Karsa, Maple, they have 0 international title.
Knight and Chovy, Uzi they have like 1 international title. And they deserve it more than people like Bengi... Sure.
Can i throw myself in the HoF being "Best Support pre-Diamond"?
Ofc my man
bro you really left ruler out of this list xD the disrespect
lol wtf? Chovy hasn't won MSI as of June 2024? ? ? ? ?? ?
Silence, my novel has started
just curious, what about jackeylove?
Ruler? Bang? Jankos? Showmaker? Perkz? ( atleast from his ADC 1v9 times)?
no mata? the one who defined the support meta?
I’d say Perkz as well for the same reason as Bjerg and DL
Where is diamondprox? He basically invented playing aggressive champs and counter jungling at a time where every jungle was a low econ tank.
The entire Moscow5 has carried the way that LoL is played today. Counter Jungling, Lanes prio, jungle tracking.
no showmaker?
Showmaker fell off after 2021 so...
shoemaker
@@kundziu1492 so uzi was good for whole years he played? no uzi had 1 pop off tournament literally
For Casters / Hosts maybe DoA, MonteCristo, Sjokz, Jatt?
Faker is the true king of the midlaner and I hope he will live on the legacy as one of the greatest players of all time.
Not mentioning Ruler should be illegal
Crazy that you dont mention Bengi up there, but as an after thought. That skt team wouldnt be what it was without him, no matter how good faker is. His whole playstyle revolved around Faker, and winning.
He is probably 1.2 biggest winner in league history.
Mentioning Faker's greatness without Bengi is crazy to me.
Alot of good players, but most of them did nothing but some flashy plays. Winning should be the key to legends.
11:30 when he didn’t say bengi i gasped. How can you disrespect bengi like that?
i know for sure there will never be another theshy
where is marin and bengi
The disrespect on MaRin’s name tho
you guys are forgetting mata!!
Out of any toplaner, Flame, Smeb, Marin, the number 1 player should be Khan. He's simply the best player to never win worlds.
DUDE U LEFT BENGI OUT??? LOL HE'S LITERALLY RSN FAKER WON VS THAT STACKED KT ROLSTER SQUAD LOL U GOTTA REMAKE THIS
im suprised u didnt put corejj for na. Cuz he elevated NA has a whole region with his custom inhouses that turned into champions queue and how he fosters NA talaten. I feel like DL and Bjergsen are good but they only made their teams good not the region as a whole.
Throw the shy in frfr(not done watching yet)
Im surprised you didnt give here jankos the best western jungler of all time and its not even close
Smeb,Mata,Ruler,Peanut and bengi
How Ning and Rookie not in this list ?
How you put Bjergsen & Doublelift here?😂
bro forgot about ruler.
Jungle HAS to be Svenskeren!!!
i think theis list rly misses Ruler. He have been dominant in the past years and he was the one who dethroned the T1 dinasty and he have lpl split wins lck split wins MSI win and a Worlds win. Otherwise this list is pretty good.
Ruler deserved a mention.
I love this video but there has to be a bit more respect on players not from LCK or LPL, just because international success is not high does not mean they shouldn't be in the hall. For people who like basketball its like saying Tony Parker shouldn't be in the hall of fame because he never won the gold medal while he was playing
knight before ruler? knight before jkl?
That HOL is actually fucked up. Other than Faker, the criteria is debatable who will succeed. If you put Uzi oeople will say, he doesn't have a worlds title tho.... The same with legends from LEC and LCS. If you put Deft or Xiahou there, people will also say, nah they don't have much impact as a player compared to the likes of Uzi, Ruler blah blah. People don't even consider Bengi, Wolf and Bang so how can you even make a decision that satisfies everyone? I think Riot should hust put eveyone there at once so
Can anyone tell me if riot have said that they are only gonna have pro player in the hall of legends, because if not there Is a possibility we get Tyler 1 even if he had bad history with riot he is one of the most famous league players ever
rekkles and caps are the best players out of the west ever
