Gonna do my personal opinion of the regular casters of LCK/NA/EU based on Thorin's 3 things to look for in a caster.
Scale will be Low-Med-High
Caster | Technical Skill | Game Knowledge | Popularity | comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
MonteCristo | High | High | High | Probably the biggest caster currently in the League scene. |
DoA | High | High | High | Outside of Monte there is no one that can argue the claim of best LoL caster. |
PapaSmithy | High | High | Med | PapaSmithy is great, but it's really hard to compete in popularity when your co-casters are Monte and DoA |
Phreak | Med | High | Med/High | Phreak is probably the poster caster for NA. Knows the game well but trips his wording occassionally. |
Rivington | Med/High | Low | Med/High | Riv is criticized for his lack of Game Knowledge, which is fair, but he is one of the most charismatic and love-able casters in the scene because he comes off as a nice guy. |
Jatt | Med/High | High | Low/Med | Jatt suffers a bit in popularity due to some of his biases that are...fairly obvious or at least comes off as a tad biased. However, Jatt (along with Phreak) know the numbers behind League. |
Kobe | Med | Med | Med | Kobe is a really energetic caster and probably has the most potential to improve among all NA casters |
Quickshot | Med | Med | Med | Quickshot is a very solid caster. Isn't massively exceptional nor terrible at anything. |
Deficio | Med | High | High | EU's best caster that has come a long way from when he first started. Deficio will be in the conversation with Monte and DoA after this year as he keeps improving his casts. |
Krepo | Low/Med | High | Med | Krepo has the same potential the Deficio had when he started out. Trips up a bit and suffers from meming EU > NA too much (the same way Phreak suffered NA > EU) |
