Why create this thread?
Simply stated, the ladder is generally not the best depiction of skill, imho. It GENERALLY tracks who plays the game the most and/or who acts like a jerk by cheating instead of who the most talented players are. That's not to say that everyone high up in the ladder falls into this category. So, if I were to put together my own ladder that indicated skill, I wonder how things would shake out. Obvious hurdles being that many highly skilled individuals don't play each other. So, this requires either the people that don't play together to play more together (my personal choice) or I have to rely from feedback from other players.
Your part if you want to participate
Who do you guys think are the best players in demigod today? I understand that its a team game, but individual players do tend to stand out (and I also know that one great player can't guarantee a win if he has weak teammates, etc). I'm happy to have everyone's feedback. I'm not looking for people to jump in and flame. Just call out who you think is great or who you'd like to see fight. Perhaps we'll get games going. You want to flame and talk crap, your post will probably end up deleted.
You can nominate anyone you want. To keep this from being a list of who likes who, several individuals that are generally considered excellent at the game will moderate the list. If those individuals generally agree, a player can be removed or promoted in the list.
I've decided on 4 categories of players and have provided descriptions of each. Please recommend players along with the category you feel they fit in.
Tier 1 Demigod Players:
Realistically, its my belief that there are 10-30 players in this game that are tier 1 DG players (the best). Those players shine as individuals, generally with a wide variety of characters and do not depend on a specific team or teammate to do well. They can play exceptionally in 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, and 5v5. These are players that do not cheat or desync games. These are the people that you want on your team or you want to play against because you know you will get a good game. Any player in this list or any other should currently be an active player.
Tier 2 Demigod Players:
These are players that don't quite currently fit into highest level of players, but are good players all the same. Perhaps they require a specific team or can only do well in specific types of games (1v1, 2v2). The bottom line is that they aren't quite as polished or versatile as the highest level players.
Tier 3 Demigod Players:
A third group (or list) would be everyone else. No need to list individuals...
Demigod Players that Should Be Avoided:
These would be specific individuals that clearly (and I mean clearly) cheat. You don't get on this list unless I (pacov) am VERY convinced that you belong here.
Sounds like Peterdumptruck to me.
ty !
good list, minus few people who need to grow a pair instead of avoiding teams with even a slight disadvantage. But everyone who comes to mind atm is there, gj
Thought of gL-OmicronLyrae, seems to be good aswell, only seen him as annoying min oak tho:), not much different from peter in that sense.. so oak from my exp
Also is there a reason iamKira isn't there, thought i seen the name there before. imo he is more solid than some players on that list
same goes for -Heros-Temp? lol maybe im missing something here.. played with all of them not that long ago..
not friends with any of those guys, 1 of em i actually dont like cause of manners related experience but to be fair seems they should be included
Also props to 2nana, at least in my experience with him he often played on weaker teams without bitching or leaving before we start games.
also second ninki, hemp, mcshane for dropping my %)
Another replay, has me peter and Maccilia in it along with some other good players.

I am begining to like QoT a bit more after a few recent games with her.
ya before everyone watches this I screwed up and didn't buy enough cit upgrades to go with my kills...... or i shoulda bought rook somethin shiny but meh
P.S. Peters build makes me want to throw things into the wall or out the window
I'm seeing a new trend too... good players starting to work on their qot and getting better. Trouser's been playing with some builds that are reasonably powerful.
Weird, I played QoT in a bunch of my games today as well.
I think we are all just bored of the standards.
hey... we will be organizing a tourney based on this list. Details to follow. Janook will create a separate post sometime soon.
Yes that would be stupid. But let everyone form teams and then the bad players will be weeded out anyway.
QoT is weak-ish in 1v1 i.e. will never get a kill, but in team fights she is able to deal out a lot of AoE dmg, mitigate her team members from a lot of dmg, and apply armor mitigation/slows to the enemy team, which is not exactly terribad.Probably works very well in a UB + LE + QoT setup.
QoT is much much better than people think she is. Awesome pushing power, aoe, and shield&heal.
umpf the fact my name is not on this list.....cut me deep guys..real deep...
Just putting it out there - nominating Guy/Boxxy and Renzokuken for Tier 1. A pleasure to play with or against, separately or together.
make you a deal...I'll nominate you if you nominate me. I like ranking individuals in a team game -- so many variables...
let's see some replays of the kiddos outside of a 2v2. They played solid in 2v2, but I've only seen their oak and erb combo.
Actually nominated Omicron and few others few replies ago
Actually, QoT works best in 1v1, when chainstunning can't wreck her.
Chainstunning? Why would that specifically counter queen? Noone likes chainstunning.
qot still lacks of attack power. she have to be in defensive stance by most of time. look at erebus for example or oak. they make a lot of damage and can defend (or run away) without having trouble to change a form for a second
No she doesn't. What really fucks her over is lack of an interrupt.
pacov = slacking. I miss people from time to time... added omicron.
Agreed, her damage is rather fine. It's so silly when she just looks at me when I lock something and then I can just walk out of there.
(sorry for off topic)
I love it how most of the people who posted in the thread are on the T2 list. And vice versa.
