After almost a decade, Faker can still remember the version he cherished the most since the early days of his career.
In today's professional League of Legends scene, Faker stands as one of the longest-serving players, holding numerous records. Currently, Faker and T1 from Spring 2022 boast the longest undefeated streak in LCK history. The team is aiming for a flawless group stage with upcoming matches against Liiv SANDBOX and DRX. Faker, the mid laner, has the most extensive champion pool, currently utilizing a total of 71 champions. The latest addition to his mid lane repertoire is Kai'Sa.
As Faker's career has unfolded alongside the evolution of League of Legends, he has played through numerous major and minor patches, along with countless metas. Recently, Faker once again astounded everyone by showcasing his exceptional memory. Specifically, a reporter from Walking Lol Wiki questioned Faker about his favorite version. Without hesitation, the League of Legends legend responded: 'I remember a version from 2013 that increased the health of champions. Before that, stronger champions or teams with advantages continuously secured kills. In terms of excitement, I remember that version the most.'.
Faker also disclosed that the health-increasing version was in 2013, and during that time, he often started the game with boots and health potions. Not long ago, Faker surprised everyone once again by recalling a version where each teleport to the turret would reduce the cooldown of the ultimate ability. Sharing the reason for remembering these versions so clearly, Faker stated: 'Whenever there's a new version, I usually read and reread the patch notes multiple times. I also contemplate how these versions will shape the meta. This helps these details stay in my memory for a long time.'.
When asked about one's favorite thing, most people undoubtedly remember it more than other details. However, this isn't the first time Faker has demonstrated his exceptional memory. Furthermore, having battled in the League of Legends scene for over 9 years, Faker has undoubtedly read dozens of patch notes for different versions. Perhaps it's thanks to factors like these that Faker can truly comprehend League of Legends and continue to perform at the highest level up to the present moment.
