Because posts like this sound to me like justificating one's opinion. "W-we couldn't judge how good he was in the past because of different circumances" except we all did but history proved only some of us right. only if you can somehow prove that balls was bad back then and didn't just become bad now He might have been overrated at some point but he wasn't only a good player for like 1 split like wonderful was saying | ||

Detailed analysis of how many mistakes he did in x ammount of games compared to average? Point being noone here can "prove" how good a player is, only say our opinion and mine is same as wonderful's. Well "prove" is not appropriate terminology given we're not solving a mathematical equation, but the prevailing wisdom of the time was that Balls was a very strong player in S3, probably edging Voyboy for best NA toplaner. Some sort of analysis beyond just "well my opinion is that he was shit" is needed for an argument to the contrary. The burden is on the accuser and all. | ||

Just because everyone in na was shit doesn't mean balls wasn't better than them. Even if he wasn't world class or w/e he was still better than everyone in na. | ||

Indeed. It is kinda absurd that Balls got into the crossfire because he played more than anyone else in Korean boot camp. He should have been commended for it. And there were plenty of players that had worse ranking than him. | ||

People didn't criticize his effort, they made fun of his poor performance, hence the D2 memes. Also hard effort isn't what sets pros apart from normal players, it's talent and ability, which often shows correlates with how well you do in soloQ. No one wants a try hard Bronze player over a gifted Diamond player. | ||

No one wants a try hard Bronze player over a gifted Diamond player. His performance was not poor though. For example Zionspartan and 4/5 Origen players were ranked below him. Balls was slightly below average. Again Balls was simply singled out because he had more games. D2 memes was because of all this Jatt stuff blowing up on Reddit. What is a worrying trend though is that people now believe Balls actually performed poorly in Korean soloQ because of some memes. | ||

But he played more games than any of those players ranked with/below him, because C9 left singificantly earlier to bootcamp. And, in any case, it was not the fact that he was in D2 that caused people to criticize him. It was the fact that this followed up a very poor LCS season, when he was worse than all but perhaps 2 of his fellow top laners in NA, despite not having farm filtered away from him and towards his mid/ADC teammates nearly to the level of players who tended to perform as well. Him being stuck in D2 was merely confirmation that his struggles in LCS were not just how his team played around him, but, in fact, at least partly based on his mindset and skill level. | ||

The real issue was that as far as bootcamping teams go, he was in a group with Huni who was able to get to a much higher rank faster. That's why Jatt singled out balls instead of everybody at D2 and below. It was purely a "look at this D2 shitter" statement. | ||

And lost it almost immediately? In the end being ranked considerably lower than balls with similar win rate? Fact is Balls did best out of all NA top laners at worlds. | ||

I mean, at least he was the least bad of perhaps the absolute worst classification of players by role per region at Worlds? | ||
