Legacy in gaming is significant, as some players leave an unforgettable mark. This video highlights Jackson’s favorite retired League of Legends players and their unique contributions.
Kirk, a mid laner active in Europe from 2011 to 2014, was particularly famous for his use of a trackball mouse. This was unusual and noteworthy because most professional gamers use standard mice for precision and quick reactions.
Despite this unconventional choice, Kirk demonstrated exceptional skill and gameplay, impressing both fans and fellow players. His ability to perform at a high level with a trackball mouse made him stand out in the professional League of Legends scene.
Mad Life, a Korean player active from 2011 to 2016, revolutionized the support role in League of Legends with his exceptional Thresh hooks. His precise and strategic use of Thresh’s abilities showcased the potential of support players to significantly influence the outcome of a game.
By executing some of the best Thresh plays of the era, Mad Life demonstrated that support players could be playmakers and key contributors to their team’s success. This changed the perception of the support role from being purely defensive to being a critical, aggressive, and game-changing position.
Ex Peki, active from 2010 to 2017, is celebrated for numerous key moments that solidified his legacy in League of Legends history. One of the most legendary plays attributed to him is the “Xpeke backdoor” where he single-handedly secured a win for his team by sneaking into the enemy base and destroying the Nexus while the opponents were distracted.
His consistent high-level performance, strategic ingenuity, and charismatic personality made him a fan favorite. Additionally, his ability to perform under pressure in major tournaments and his role as a leader both in-game and within his team contributed significantly to his enduring legacy.
