I mean we are all in agreeance that he’s the best controller itw right? Currently and maybe all time. Such crazy longevity and consistency. Even when DRX struggles it seems like mako is the sole bright spot
out of top 4 he’s the best (if you don’t count Shao on omen), but i’d argue that there’s a lot of potential from s0m, showing a bunch of impact frags from his first valorant LAN, bang has always been consistent, and Nivera is a good untraditional Omen player.
for me, controllers are hard to judge by who is the best since there’s a lot of factors that go into judging that metric. do you value kills or utility more? how much better is a smokes player that is forced to anchor compared to one who lurks? it’s not plain and simple like duelist or initiator which is why i don’t think he’s clearly the best in the world, but from the top 4 I’d call him the best.
you cant say s0m and bang are better when s0m has played only 1 international LAN and bang didn't have the same impact as MaKo. you also cant say MaKo isn't the best just because the former 2 have potential.
Nivera is a good shout but he's been playing Senti as well as Controller.
MaKo is the perfect example of kills and utility, he has a crazy high assist rate and KAST, and also is often topfrag for DRX. That's how you know he not only sets up his team well, he also gets his kills and can clutch up if need be.
He is also better than Shao on Omen
