by mechanics, I just mean the mechanics of the game such as raw aim, quick decision making, reaction times, and movement, so this list is gonna be full of flashy/smooth aim players.
Unfortunately for more static roles (there are some exceptions) such as controllers and initiators, they're not going to be listed here because we don't see much mechanics from them when compared to duelists/flex players. They just focus on a more supportive role and that doesn't mean their worse or bad.
I also want to make it clear that this is my opinion and you guys are welcome to put your own players down in the discussion below, let's (try) create a civil discussion here.
I'm also not gonna list everyone here because I obviously do not watch all teams.
