Line Rider Legends - Discussion & Nomination

Purtle wrote:At first I thought maybe Sheldon is worth LRL when looking at the quotes from others you put in the nominations thread. However, I decided to scroll back to the top to see the full list of LRLs.

As I read through the names, as harsh as it may sound, I felt as though Sheldons name being placed along with those listed just doesn't quite fit right with me. Not sure how else to describe it. Those names listed are all in a league of their own above him in my opinion.

Orthuss wrote:I've seen a bunch of Sheldon nominations around, and I'd like to throw mine out there too. Yes to Sheldon. To me, he's definitely influenced a lot of modern LR. I feel like a lot of modern XY with heavy focus on powerful wells and stacking, for instance, takes a lot of clear inspiration from Sheldon's crazy XY section in Centrifugal Force 2 and the last section in Limitations, made by Sheldon and HP. Also, a lot of modern stack-based fling quirk feels hugely inspired by tracks such as Valance and Valence 2. It feels like Sheldon can take pretty much any style (see: Silhouette, Retrograde) and make something great. I feel like the main argument against Sheldon for LCC right now is "he hasn't made that one big development" but I feel he's made a lot of important medium-sized developments that warrant a legend spot.

Sheldon wrote:I was going to wait till after Mount Olxympus, but that cannot happen. I have however seen what there is to see of that track as well as Gone, Nocturnal, Limitations, etc. These tracks as well as his influence IMO earn [boo] a spot in the games top dogs. (LRL)

OTDE wrote:here's my opinion on .boo
He had a lot of phases
One where he did a lot of grolling
One where he tried to be a king
Some alt, some hypersync
Every little phase he had had a direct influence on how others made tracks.
He was a huge part of my formative years-- I looked up to him like nobody's business
And I think I'm not the only one
The quality, scope, and influence of .boo's tracks, in my opinion, is more than enough to cement him as LRL.

shotoku wrote:Pure definitely.
Boo definitely.
Helios no.
Sssschiller no.
OTDE maybe right in the middle.
Chuggers maybe if he puts out just one more jaw-dropping full track soon, right now leaning towards no.
Summoning maybe leaning towards yes.

I want to put in a nomination for Lukking, maybe from me leaning towards yes.
I also want to nominate Opal, maybe more leaning towards no.
Lastly, nominate Votale, maybe right in the middle.

shotoku wrote:As a last thought, IGGB for nomination, at least for discussion. I don't know a lot about him but what I do know is pretty good.

Commandercoke wrote:No to all mentioned, for the time being.

Rafael wrote:Also no to all. Just because you want someone to be a Legend doesn't mean he deserves to be.

Sheldon wrote:IGGB ISN'T LRL? wot

Sheldon wrote:I whole-heartedly believe that Lukking is deserving of Line Rider Legend. He has had a great impact on the community in the genre of quirk and creativity. He broke tracks, developing a method of track making that makes anything possible. And this is through psuedotrack animation, an amazing concept he developed. He also made the amazing tracks Catgroove, and Origin.
Amazing player.

Rafael wrote:As much as I'd like to see him LRL,  I'm a 100% sure he was never been promoted. This because I've nominated him many times and every time people were disagreed.

Sheldon wrote:but i do think [IGGB] should be [LRL]
...
it may just be we dont see his influence until now

Spoiler:

efrazable wrote:Both [boo and Lukking] had insanely good tracks from before I was even riding, and I was even surprised to learn that neither were already LRL. I'd say yes to both simply for that, even if their latest tracks weren't as relatively "legendary" as the ones from the past.
...
what was the reason that neither were LRL in the first place?

[12/12/15, 11:08:54 PM] Ethan Frazier (efraz): also devray
...
[12/12/15, 11:10:44 PM] Ben Harvey: he was never even lcc
[12/12/15, 11:10:52 PM] Ethan Frazier (efraz): why was that?
[12/12/15, 11:10:59 PM] Ben Harvey: he wasn't very good?
[12/12/15, 11:11:27 PM] Ethan Frazier (efraz): Mostly i'm just basing it off of choose your ride
[12/12/15, 11:11:37 PM] Ben Harvey: oh that was never even featured
[12/12/15, 11:11:44 PM] Ethan Frazier (efraz): aw, should have been

Commandercoke wrote:I say no to both lukking and .boo. Same goes for IGGB if that's still being debated. I think some people are misinterpreting or skewing the point of LRL. And just because LCC is gone doesn't mean those people have done enough with the game to be considered LRL. /harsh

MORGANg wrote:Ive been gone awhile.... But I just read the LRL nomination thread. Votale for LRL. He inspired me to actually release tracks on youtube. He released some almost legend worthy tracks, but he went out of his way and would message people on youtube when they released LR videos telling them about the site and promoting it. His XY tracks were unbelievable to me, at the time of me watching them six years ago. I do not even know if he is around anymore to be completely honest, but I just wanted my voice heard.
