InSec was a before and after for Lee Sin as a champion.

I still remember when I just started playing league and my friend shouted: "OMG I just did the InSec", I actually thought that was the name of Lee Sin ult 🤣🤣

@brain_tonic Жыл бұрын

Yeah after Insec it became mandatory for junglers to know how to do that. You're not a real pro if you can't Insec. He created a new standard that everyone else was judged by.

@kickmeandrun Жыл бұрын

It solidified Lee sin's status as a god tier jungler. This is because at launch, Lee Sin was amazing at clearing camps and ganking, however, when the lanes opened up nobody really knew how to team fight with him. As such, he would fall of late game and be completely useless. But once people realised you could kick the enemy team's carry into your team within seconds, that really fixed his issues.

Lee Sin became such a prominent pick after insec was popularized for both pro play and soloq, it was crazy to see the mechanics of Lee still elevated to this day (recent one being Canyon's animation cancel kick) excluding scripted TikTok Lee Sin combos with prowler/no cooldown/galeforce etc. Some people claimed that before insec, one jungler from TPA does it in soloQ as well but it's a shame that wasn't performed on a stage as big as All Stars

@nald420 Жыл бұрын

was this the canyon play last season that during the q2 (on enemy karma support) of lee sin, he smote (smited? to break spellshield) sivir and kicked her back to the team all in one animation. the kick animation didn't even register. one of the craziest lee sin plays ive seen, especially on a pro game.

@Wingsaber Жыл бұрын

Another thing to note about insec's play is not only did he change how Lee was played, he changed *when* Lee was played because throughout the years, Lee sin has been played in so many metas that even pros have admitted shouldn't be good metas for Lee, but it works regardless because no matter how weak he is, he'll always have that game-changing x factor of catching out the enemy carry

@ivanrado3430 Жыл бұрын

Perkz is better than Caps. Perkz alongside Carlos built G2 for what it is today and Perkz won on both MID and ADC roles. Also Perkz have more trophies than Caps in Europe. They both won MSI (well together), and Perkz also won trophy in NA. G2 also struggled when Perkz left. You can see that Perkz isn't just mechanically gifted player, smart player, but also a leader in game which is hard to be. Caps maybe is mechanically insane, but he can never be as good leader as Perkz is. When you look at Fnatic you have so many players you can say that they are Fnatic: Rekkles, xPeke, Huni, Reignover, Febiven, Soaz, Yellowstar, Caps... But when it comes to G2 first is always Perkz. Then it goes Jankos, Wunder, than Caps and Mikyx. No one in Europe didn't have such impact in a team and brought whole organisation on map as Perkz did. Whole team was built around him. So yeah, Caps is second in EU. And one more thing. I came to edit. When Perkz roles roleswap to ADC. DUDE LITERALLY REDEFIN ROLE. Even the Koreans were like "we can play syndra and yasuo as adc?" And started playing it. So yeah. Give the Western goat it title.

How sexPeke is not in S tier is beyond me... It was such a hype play at the time, and I mean, Cpt Flowers even said that even know people now what a 'xPeke' is... But also, mechanically it was such a pleasing play... Probably incredibly stressful, but it seems so effortless from the spectator's perspective.

Without Faker, Wolf might have just inted and Bang probably would have killed 2 and died himself. Maybe a near double ace afterward. Either way without out all 3 steps in the order, Wolf (Engage), Faker (Burst Lock), Bang (Clean Up) it would not have turned the game around like it did.

He hit an invisible champion(twitch i think) over a wall with Blitz...maybe best support of all time. Caps...eeehhh idk. You got the many iterations of FNC(i mean the did win worlds from Phreak's basement lol). Everyone on M5...Diamondprox, Triple Doreans Genja...all of them. Maybe in the end Caps will be the best but not right now.
