Since League of Legends stands as one of the most popular games on Twitch, fans may feel overwhelmed when looking through its enormous list of channels. Luckily, League of Legends has also been around since the earliest days of Twitch, and many of the personalities that still stream the game have been around for years. Not only that, but many of the best performing players in League of Legends eSports tournaments have taken to Twitch to showcase their talents.
Whether viewers are looking for a streamer who explores the deep lore of League of Legends, one who focuses primarily on entertainment by not taking themselves too seriously, or someone who is a professional player at the pinnacle of their game, they can find it on Twitch.
Faker
Being able to watch Faker on Twitch is a bit like being able to watch Michael Jordan at practice. At this point, Faker should inarguably be considered the best League of Legends player of all time, but if that title is still up for debate, he should at least be considered the greatest mid-laner of all time. Every single Faker stream on Twitch is basically a masterclass on whatever champion he's playing. If fans want to learn how to play Yasuo, Zed, Orianna, or pretty much any mid-lane character, there's no better place to go than Faker's stream.
The only major drawback for North American fans of Faker's channel is that he streams in Korean, but there's still more to be learned from simply watching Faker play than almost any other streamer who is providing English commentary. As the face of T1's League of Legends team, though, his streams are always exceptionally high quality, and most of his streams are later uploaded to YouTube with hilarious editing and English subtitles.
Broxah
Broxah is the definition of calm, cool, and collected. He spends the majority of his matches on Twitch talking through his decision-making while playing some of the most difficult characters in the League of Legends, meaning that viewers will have plenty to learn during any of his streams. Just a couple of years ago, Broxah was right up there with the best in the world at his position—jungler—when Fnatic made a run at the 2018 League of Legends World Championships.
While he can commonly be found playing burst damage mages like Elise, Gragas, and the like, he is also a truly devastating Lee Sin player. Regardless, Broxah is a rarity who keeps a level head while playing the most scrutinized position in League of Legends, and would-be junglers can learn from his tilt-proof mentality. Since he provides useful commentary on all players, his team and the enemy alike, Broxah is arguably the best stream to garner a broader understanding of League of Legends.
Shugiishugii
For viewers looking for a more casual, relaxed League of Legends streamer, there are few better places to stop than Shugiishugii's stream. She may not boast the professional accolades of the two aforementioned streamers, but her skills have still carried her all the way from Gold to Master rank in the top lane while primarily using champions like Kled, Irelia, and other dive-type picks.
While Shugiishugii's gameplay may not offer the same insight into mechanics as Faker or Broxah, her stream boasts a more relatable gameplay experience, with her skills being closer to the average player, and her perseverance through the ranked ladder being a familiar experience to almost anyone. In contrast to larger names, Shugiishugii can prioritize interacting with her fans. With her unwavering focus on climbing the ranked ladder, Shugiishugii is slowly taking her place as one of the top female streamers for League of Legends.
League of Legends is available now for PC.
