User blog comment:Alonlah/Who is the best dueler in the game?/@comment-11759251-20140126153827

I think a further definition of "duelist" is required. For example, a lot of assassins are very good at 1 v 1, but I wouldn't classify that as "dueling". To measure how good a duelist is, I would argue that we have to assume equal skill level of both players, so no fancy plays required for victory. No element of surprise, either.

Under these conditions, I would list Udyr and Trundle as the best duelists I've seen. I'd also give Poppy and honorable mention, but I feel that to be truly effective, Poppy has to actually outplay her opponent, thus disqualifying her under my definition of duelist. Most of the time when Poppy gets kills, it's because her opponent made a mistake (though that's admittedly easy to do against Poppy, as "being too close to a wall" is considered a mistake)
