The name Faker is already too familiar to League of Legends players around the world, especially with the assassin champions that define Faker such as Zed, LeBlanc, Ahri, or Gragas in Season 3. Recently, Faker reached the milestone of 2000 kills in the LCK, however, the champions with the most kills for Faker are all… focused on team fights rather than the assassins favored by the Demon King.
The top 3 champions with the most kills from Faker are all extremely powerful in team fights instead of in 1v1 duels. Many of Faker’s fans believe that since winning the World Championship in Season 3, Faker has changed a lot, no longer selecting 1v1 assassin champions as often as before, but choosing champions that excel in team fights and create pressure across the map.
Many also argue that even geniuses cannot play many champions with individual power because simply put, League of Legends is a team game for 5 players, and only those who can adapt to it can survive in the professional League of Legends world.
On another note, the statistics also show that Faker’s choice of primarily team fight champions does not diminish his “feel” for assassin champions. A testament to this is that LeBlanc in Faker’s hands boasts a… 91.3% win rate across a total of 23 matches – an incredible figure in the harsh environment of the LCK. Fans hope that Faker will continue to maintain this form in the LCK as well as in upcoming international tournaments.
