CNQ REBOOT MAGE RANKINGS / LEADERBOARDS

LAST UPDATED: 29th May 2012

Here are the (obviously unofficial) mage rankings/leaderboard for CNQ Reboot. Please note: this leaderboard is a somewhat subjective view of the strengths and weaknesses of the mages currently playing the game. While we have gone to lengths to avoid personal biases, such as the influence of friendships, this list is ultimately our own opinion and not to be taken too seriously. We will update this table every month. Because this is a first version, it is quite possible that we have overlooked someone who needs to be on this list. Please suggest names below.

Due to name changes I am unaware of it is quite possible that someone might end up on the list twice. Please help us correct any errors. Feel free to post results of games or mage 1v1s below (including mandatory screenshot) if you feel they are relevant to the rankings. Rankings are decided on our personal experience of playing against people, their scores in games and in duels and their overall team play. Obviously this is a flawed system, and we understand if people think it's "arrogant" of us to rate players in this way or comment on their weaknesses, but the intent of this table is to have some fun and not to create arguments. Hopefully it might add some more competition to the game.

The table is split into tiers. Mages may be promoted or relegated based on their performance.

NOTE: If you would like a picture/avatar to go by your name please let me know the image either by posting it below or sending me a PM on the main lotrconquest forum here.

Thanks for reading!

But Darklions a pro mage

[fakegunther1994]

so confusing who is true wba and whos troll

[Thorin Oakenshield]

WBA is mainly made by people in other clans... The only true WBA I think are Herr Wolfe and Wolfgang, almost everyone else is multiclanning

[morgoth]

lets doubt about the #1 who is afraid to play anyone in duel and either there are many more better teamplay mages... ehehehe

[Thorin Oakenshield]

Tier 1 players are the best ingame and in duels... You cant get to Tier 1 just by being decent in 8 vs 8. btw, Henry needs to be added to the board too (probably around Tier 1).

[morgoth]

why the best players are afraid to duel

[Sectorjam]

Thats true.. I would say that all the other good mages like myself, DemonLord, Taco, Royalty and morgoth would have a chance against them, becouse in 8v8 we do good with the mage but I guess we would not found out if they never will duel...

That is true... Some of the tier 1 mages havent duelled for ages now and it isn't clear any more if they fulfill all the criteria for Tier 1. (I still have no doubt that Merlin and Angelus are the top two mages).

I dont think Im very good any more tho cause I havent played cnq properly for almost a month now. Count me out of the mage tournament, someone else can take my place...

[suzda]

me tier 1#1-ing magement gg easeh

[Angelus]

Still care who is the best.......?

Merlin is the best Mage to play the game whether it be Duels or 8vs8.

For myself i don't care how good i am anymore

Just play the game for fun instead of arguing who the best is.

Then why is the bestest mage afraid to duel? Merlin's reputation as the best 8v8 mage is long gone imo...and the fact that for whatever reason - op connexion, beast PC, whatever - the timing to catch his mage on get-up is nearly a whole second off the regular timing required to catch most other players, and that, I think, played a huge role in how he got that reputation. In order to avoid unforgiving humiliation, people have to deliberately and instinctively correct/alter their otherwise adequate melee timings when facing him.

Anyway, I just think it's really unrealistic to perpetuate this widely accepted aggrandizement of Merlin as the best mage despite constant evidence to the contrary in the form of sometimes sublime performances from the far more underrated yet arguably better and indubitably - INDUBITABLY - more reliable mages like (and in no particular order) DemonLord, Darklion, Joppi, Angelus, RAMPAG3, RedBaron, Pedros, Laiebi, Sectorjam, and so on.

I'm not hating, it's just that the prevalent fanaticism of Merlin's mage, and consequently the belittlement of other staunch mages, is a little overdue/belated. Let's face it, Merlin just isn't the peerless mage he used to be, and we shouldn't so dogmatically prolong the illusion that he is.

Afraid to duel who exactly? i guess someone he has already beat
Just because someone declines duels doesn't mean they are scared (maybe they just hate duelling ).

I agree that Merlin isn't the same Mage he was.....but that's not due to other mages becoming "better" than him or because they "duel" more lol.
I rate someone by how good they were at their Prime not by their current level of skill (no one can stay at the top forever).

Anyway that's just my own opinion.........these Leaderboards are not even official.

[Taco]

The fear of failing potentially at the cost of his overly perpetuated top mage status is the most likely reason for Merlin's abstinence in the duelling scene. If he lost a duel you could be sure Merlin would try and get back his title, but once he manages to win he'll turn every challenge down, some because they really wouldn't be worth his time, but most others because he considers them a threat. Merlin didn't seem to hate duelling when he would lose in them, it was always something he'd say after a victory.

Did I ever even say that other mages becoming better than him or duelling more was the reason for his mage's diminution? Nope. xD The obvious reason is that he just hasn't been playing mage as often.

The only constant is change; a player's "prime time" is only a momentary thing/milestone which can be used as a reference point to measure said person's current skill, either by how one maintains or strays from that "finest hour".
