Roy has put more time in, I'm not talking about when they started playing HC slasher, I'm talking about the time they spend slashing every day.
Roy - 160ish hc mq attempts. Many with the best/quickest character possible. Others with some of the fastest cata groups around.
Joshie - 150ish hc mq attempts. Probably a good number done when there was no catas and also no heal charms (30-40ish). Also some done when there wasn't great gear available. Had the early advantage of finding some gear by being able to well anything at level 5ish without difficulty. More chances to mute.
Logic would dictate that Joshie has probably spent more time playing hc than Roy. Again as I explained earlier, the game has changes so much during season 1 of hardcore that it is impossible to really compare players... you acknowledge this ... but continue to do so.

How can you even consider a game that only involves clicking and luck skill?
Have you really never played this game? Have thought about a build? Sure, the gps you get at the end are based on some amount of luck. But skill and logical thought are a piece of what made many of the people so good, whereas so many others that have dumped a lot of fg into this game have failed... because they just couldn't adjust or figure out how to make a character work.

Let me restate that I'm not trying to take away from Roy and his astounding LS accomplishments, just saying that he is not the best HC slasher
Again I'm not either, I'm saying it is really futile to try and compare slashers these days as the game has changed so many times.

I say Joshie is the best only simply because he has gone through struggles with HC slasher and still keeps at it.
I have yet to meet a person who hasn't struggled at HC at some point and a lot of people have kept at it. You just described like 100+ players

If you really want to consider someone the best, then the best is the person who doesn't have a life and spends hour on end clicking everyday.
I don't want to. But this is a bad basis because if someone is clicking all day, but has no strategy and is doing 30 minute levels. Another person could easily spend 1/5th that time and do 5 minute levels and be better than them at the end of it.

That person, whoever decides to hide from the real world and click all day, is the best Slasher.

If Joshie didn't have a life, a girlfriend, and a job, he'd easily have the most MQ attempts on HC.
Is this a cheap shot at Roy or something? I don't understand what it has to do with any of this.

Its not like basketball or football where its a lot more clear to determine who the best player is, its a damned computer game.
So is the BCS.

Best is a matter of personal opinion, and in my opinion, its not Roy
Back to square 1, you still think there is a best
I'm sure that Roy is adulated to hear that it is not him and that he may not have a "life" and is hiding from the real world. The fact that you suffixed it with gratz real cushions the blow.
It is like the reverse of: Now I don't mean to offend you, but ...
