In the professional League of Legends scene today, Faker is undoubtedly one of the players with the longest competitive history and he holds numerous exceptional records. Currently, Faker is leading T1 with the longest undefeated streak in LCK history during the Spring 2022 split. The team is aiming for a perfect group stage with two matches ahead against Liiv SANDBOX and DRX. Faker is also the mid-laner who has used the most champions, with a total of 71 names to date, and the latest champion that Faker brought to the mid lane is Kai’Sa.
With a career that has developed alongside League of Legends, Faker has played through dozens of major and minor patches, along with countless metas that have emerged in the game. Recently, Faker once again surprised everyone when he showcased his extraordinary memory. Specifically, a reporter from Walking Lol Wiki asked Faker which version he liked the most. Without hesitation, the legend of League of Legends immediately replied: “I remember a patch from 2013 that increased champion health. Prior to that, stronger champions or teams with an advantage continuously secured kills. In terms of excitement, I remember that patch the most.”
Faker also mentioned that the patch that increased champion health was from 2013, and at that time, he often started matches with boots and a health potion. Not long ago, Faker also amazed everyone by recalling a patch where each time Teleport was cast to a turret, it would reduce its cooldown. When asked about why he remembers these patches so well, Faker said: “Whenever a new patch comes out, I usually read the patch notes multiple times. I also think about what metas these patches will bring. This helps these details stay in my memory for a long time.”
Of course, when asked about a favorite detail, most people will likely remember it more clearly than other details. However, this is not the first time Faker has demonstrated how good his memory is. Moreover, Faker has been competing in League of Legends for over 9 years and has definitely read dozens of patch notes about various versions. Perhaps it is these factors that allow Faker to have such a deep understanding of League of Legends and still compete at a high level even today.
