With the thread of players to avoid, I figured that it'd be nice to know who the best people to play with are. I'm not just talking about pros, but for people who are like me and are trying to get better, having great teammates you can learn from or opponents who you can watch replays of is really helpful. I'm talking about players who are not only good, but pleasant to play with and improve your game.
For me, a few people stand out in my mind:
Sbozicevic - Plays an good Sedna and communicates really well. He's really aggressive and will sometimes chase farther than I ever would, but more often than not he pulls through, and then some. Has a playing style unlike anyone I've ever met.
Levinaris - Holy cow can this guy play Oculus. He cleared half the enemy towers on Exile and killed the entire enemy team twice over in his first game with him. Completely changed the way I approached that DG.
Yeahneil - Fun to play with, really nice, and a great team player. Every time I play with him I learn something. Probably one of the people I'd use as an example of percentiles being inaccurate.
mrreddy07 - Great Reg and an even better DA, works really well with other players in taking over lanes and ganking. Just playing with him improved my PvP game.
Hiroshima - I hate him so much. His rook is freaking insane and incredibly irritating to play against. I've never seen anyone dominate with a rook like him. My only wish is that he'd end up on my team for once.
ROYALACES - I was having a pretty good time with BotS UB until I faced up against him and he dominated me. Although I don't agree with all his game choices, he really made me rethink how to play UB (I used to use a spit build, but watching him taught me to focus on spit+ooze, the advantages of BoF, and different ways of starting a game off).
Anyone care to share other great players to look out for?
