Faker Ranks 2 Champions “High” in Tier S Group
Currently, T1 has moved to Paris, France to participate in the RedBull League tournament during this series of events hosted by the sponsor. Not only competing, the teams also have to hold fan meetings with the audience. In a recent interaction, Faker was requested to share his thoughts on the champions ranked from tier S down to tier C. Specifically, Faker has placed Twisted Fate and Ryze into the tier S group.
Indeed, these champions are two very unique champions of Faker and are quite suitable for today’s playstyle. However, a key point that makes Twisted Fate and Ryze strong is their ability to influence many skirmishes. Their combo can impact gameplay significantly, while in team fights, targeting is essential.
Moreover, the late-game potential of Ryze and Twisted Fate is also critical in the late game, or when ganking is essential. If they participate in a skirmish, these two champions, if not positioned correctly, may not be effective at all.
Reasons Why Faker Has Long Rated These Champions Highly
However, in the past, Faker had previously rated these two champions very highly. According to reports, a fan discovered that 8 years ago Faker acknowledged Ryze and Twisted Fate to be very beneficial for players.
“Ryze and TF are extremely useful for those who want to become a Midlaner. Ryze requires the player to master various skill combos while TF helps players refine their map control skills,” Faker stated in a share from 8 years ago.
Indeed, these champions are only strong when the player truly grasps the necessary skills that Faker has shared. Regarding this topic, “The Unkillable” seems to be a constant in the current meta. Therefore, he rates TF and Ryze as tier S, even though they may not fit perfectly with today’s overall meta.
