Leoric has been a staple tank for many teams since his release. He's sturdy, does decent damage, and can hold a lane incredibly well. Almost every team plays him at one point, but who plays him the best? With our dedicated stats and rankings pages on Gosugamers, I've compiled the top five most successful Leoric players to date.

I've only included players who have at least ten games played in tournaments with Leoric, and ranking is based on percentage win rate.

          #5 Lowell 68%          

Lowell's Leoric game list

Lowell has an impressive 68% win rate over 19 games with Leoric in a competitive setting. His mastery over the spook is exceptional, but he still has much to learn before he becomes a true Spook Lord. Sitting at a comfortable #5, Lowell's Leoric has clearly carried his team to victory many times.

          #4 Batterry 70%          

Batterry's Leoric game list

Despite being the Leoric-master with the fewest amount of games played on this list, Batterry is no spooky scrub. His Leoric has held its own against the likes of Panda Global, COGnitive, and the feared Bob Ross Fan Club. He's sitting at a respectable 70%, and has definitely earned his place on this list.

          #3 AlexTheProG 71%          

AlexTheProG's Leoric game list

AlexTheProG has been terrorizing Europe with his high skill warrior play for months, so he's definitely no stranger to spooking. The stats speak louder than any words: a whopping 71% win rate across 24 games. That's a great deal of dedication to His Spookiness, and it shows.

          #2 Zarmony 79%          

Zarmony's Leoric game list

Na'Vi is truly blessed (cursed?) to have two players that understand the value of a good spook. With a 79% win rate across 14 games, Zarmony has a clear understanding of how he can better serve our Skeleton overlords. Zarmony was born in the spook, molded by it, a true servant of the cause.

          #1 NccCc 83%          

NccCc's Leoric game list

Here we have the Ruler Supreme of spook, NccCc. 83% win rate across 12 games on any hero is ludicrously high. NccCc is who little skeletons dream of one day being. His ability to command the power of spook is so strong that I think it's entirely possible he IS Leoric. Many have tried to challenge his dark rule, but all have fallen, the undisputed Skeleton King reigns eternal.
