I honestly feel bad for Dyrus..

Kerchner12·Oct 10, 2015·143 votes·7,546 views

Like he was one of the original LoL players. One of the first streamers. He is honestly a lot better than what his scores depict. He just gets camped every game becasue their opponet knows he would just farm up to be a late game monster, but his team could never really handle thier own. I would've liked to see him get some more carry oriented top laners in the LCS scene. Dyrus has done a lot for the League of Legends community and he will be missed. Thank you for everything Dyrus and good luck with whatever you do next.

Edit: Also, thank you guys. I've always wanteda post to be one of the top ones. This is just a little extra something sent from Dyrus himself.

All this Dyrus love on the boards lol. Wondering when the petition for "Darius" name change is gonna start...........I'd sign it.

Dyrus even looks like Darius though. He's significantly taller than most other pro players and really looks like he would be more at home on a football team than an E-sports team.

They're both unusually tall, seasoned veterans, near unbeatable 1v1 ( it pisses me off when people call Dyrus trash when he gets camped every single game) .

I feel so bad at raging at dyrus for Malphite ulting 1 person but I realize if I was on that stage id ult fucking wolves saying I GOT WARWICK and then realizing they dont even have a warwick

KeevalroyOct 10, 20157 votes

Not only was he camped and targeted, his team constantly left him to die every game. At least Oddone actually helped him. I didn't feel like Amazing was a suitable replacement when he joined, but at least he did something other than die like the forever-farmer TSM has now.

Archon XOct 10, 20156 votes

So camping him is what caused him to completely screw up a malphite ult? That and Bjerg burning cd's on an ulting Alistar last week is what did in TSM. They looked like a bronze team.

You remind of the guys who give up first blood and say, "GG ff @ 20" No need to be so negative. He's a great player and will be dearly missed.

Archon XOct 10, 201510 votes

he's a professional gamer, thus his gaming is held to a higher standard

sorry you're a fan of him and take it so personally, but he fucked up multiple times during this group phase

Pale PirateOct 10, 201517 votes

Nothing he said isn't true. Yes he fucked up. This doesn't nullify Dyrus' existence, or the fact that the OP is right about what he said.

RawOct 10, 20155 votes

Doesn't matter, 5 years career run on 1 game is pretty damn good.

Archon has literally gone to all these Dyrus post and had to hate on him every single time. Has no respect for the guy who has been around the gaming scene. Yea of course he fucked up plays here and there and made just as many if not more good plays. Including sports like football, soccer, etc..there been many of them who weren't as strong as they were in their prime, That goes in any sport. The least you can do is respect the time and effort he put into the game. He has more paid his dues. You on the other hand.....

TSM dominated NA for years, why would you feel bad for Dyrus, for a long time was best top laner in his own region( HUUUUUUUUGE ONE if I might add). You focus too much on resent events and you mix up camping a players for something more than simply stategy. Its up to the rest of the team to do something with it. And no, Dyrus was not good with skill intense carry champions why would you put him on something he never liked to play.

Only thing that might feel bad is that he didn't get retired in NA where majority of his fans come from.

Dyrus was the last thing about tsm that made me root for them sometimes (their guides were a huge help to learning but there don't seem to be as many detailed ones up to date now days, and odd one left). Even though I'm a big fan of his it seems weird to see all this praise and people down voting dyrus hate. The community has been so negative for so long regarding dyrus it just seems hypocritical. Maybe it is just people who didn't say anything before congratulating him as he leaves, but it seems weird.

GL dyrus and I hope you have a blast (and less getting bashed) in whatever you do next.

PIMPSMOOTHOct 11, 20152 votes

Nobody said he played his best, anyone with two brain cells to rub together can see he missed ults and made mistakes. And so what? Faker got first blooded this LCS and crapped on 1v1 prior, guess he should hang it up too right? Dyrus is still a world class top laner who got no help from his crumby teammates, stating he should have retired long ago is stupid.

CrazyC0ffeeOct 11, 20152 votes

I mean this probably means nothing, but isn't it kind of "odd" how two of the most influential people ever in the LoL community have stopped playing in the past month(other one being Dunkey of course).

Only Play DariusOct 11, 20151 votes

Dunkey is back and Dyrus retired because Esport careers are shorter than other other sports due to need for minimum reaction times. 5 years is actually an incredible feat.

CrazyC0ffeeOct 11, 20151 votes

really? dunkey is back? where?

Only Play DariusOct 11, 20151 votes

He admits he's addicted to the game but officially hates Riot now and in his return video he called a Riot employee a %%% in game chat so he obviously isn't scared of them anymore. Riot told him to take down the video because he insulted Lute but I will try to find a mirror for you.

CrazyC0ffeeOct 11, 20151 votes

hmm interesting. I do feel where he is coming form if this is true though. I am not a big fan of riot atm. The other day I was doing aram and decided to be ncie to my team and by them a skin boost. Someone on the other team dodged, and I never got the rp back. Still don't have it.

TSM can now get better. Even though I hate them. Fact was, that either Dyrus cant hard carry against todays top laners or TSM doesnt trust him to. Either way, you can never succeed when your only threat is your mid lane and all you do is have jung camp him. Helen Keller even knows THAT.

Don't think getting rid of dyrus is going to help them though if there is one thing the last 2 years have shown is no one on TSM is world class but bjergsen. They have quite a few problems and dyrus dying a couple times a game more then the other top wasn't costing them games as much as (afk jungler, bad shot calling from bjerg, bad positioning from turtle, bad engages from lustboy) That being said it was time for dyrus to step down but tsm has a long way to go if they want to compete with the top teams.

Darth Pixy MisaOct 11, 20152 votes

I think Dyrus is getting too much blame. If you put Cabochard, Marin, or Flandre on TSM's Top lane and they could communicate just as good as Dyrus, i believe you would get similar results. I think Dyrus is not allowed to play carrys, because of the decisions of the analysts, coaching staff and players.

My question is why just Olaf? Why Olaf? Why wasnt Dyrus allowed to play Jax, Irelia, Mundo, Vlad, Mordekaiser, Jayce, Shyvana, or Renekton? Even if he did get the chance, would Dyrus (or his replacement) be allowed to get any resources?

I have to agree that Dyrus was in a horrible position in TSM. If he had been on ANY other team, he would have put up some great numbers.

MadraOct 11, 20151 votes

In competition, how many great players were really able to walk away from the game at their best? Everybody talks about going out on top, but so few ever really do. Michael Jordan on the Wizards, Brett Favre on the Jets, every professional wrestler like ever... it's a long list. They always remain great competitors, but everybody knows they just don't have a full tank anymore. Barry Sanders went out on the top of his game, and even that was largely because Lions just weren't winning. If the money is there, it's hard not to lace up those cleats or put on that gaming headset.

Professional gamers have a ton to learn from Dyrus, in terms of ups and downs, highs and lows, and maturing under the pressure of the camera. They have to invest a lot of time into something that only lasts for a short time and is constantly changing. Could you imagine the uproar if Goodell "Juggernaut Patched" the NFL?

I will miss him so much when I first saw "Dyrus tribute" on ifunzio's channel I literally started to cry. He was my insperation of everything. I will miss dyrus, i hope he comes back to lcs, tsm or even just livestreaming. Love ya dyrus <3

Do you...watch professional play? Unless teams specifically counter it, top laners routinely get ganked by 3+ people that will literally sit under the turret murdering him/her.

Only Play DariusOct 11, 20151 votes

I agree that he needs to be on more carry toplaners. Games he's playing on Olaf or Darius etc. you can tell he's having a great time and usually does amazing too. But games where his team puts him on someone like Nautilus you can easily tell he just doesn't have his heart in it, and constantly makes mistakes that are uncharacteristic of him.

Someone should just make a custom skin for Darius where it's just Dyrus, holding a pillow or something. I don't even own Darius and I'd use that skin, and if it became a thing, I'd buy it.
