Controversial Darts Players #1 Luke Humphries

[DeepFriedRat]

While Playing

- Horrible facial expressions when it goes wrong. Believes he should hit a 180 every go and commits to faces worse than anything Bellyboy has done and headshaking only second to Barney.

- Is vastly overrated thus far on tv. Has had ons great game on tv, vs MVG in the UK Open in 2021, with the rest, prior to November 2022, either being mediocre runs or first round exits. He's in good form now admittedly but your ranking is based off 2 years, not 6 months.

Terrible Attitide Sub Section

- Most egotistical player in darts right now, even worse than Barney. Has the ego of someone who's been around for years and has only been "elite", if you can even call him that, for about 6 months.

- Attention-seeker. Ruins players' moments in tournament winning interviews by hogging the limelight. Gatecrashed Cross and Josh Rock's PC wins interviews this year (the latter's first ever), despite it not being protocol for the runner up to join in. No other player does this.

- Disingenuous. Although he is an okay loser, but mainly with his friends or young players, he never gives selfless praise to someone lower than him, without giving credit to himself. See an interview given about Rock, where he says "he'll be around for many years...and so will I"

- Extremely self-entitled. Has been moaning about getting into the Premier League ever since the bone was thrown to him as a contender in 2019, which was when he was significantly outside the top 32.

- Smug about his personal life. Never ceases to remind everyone how lucky he is for his family in a way that comes off as rubbing your face in it, rather than genuine.

- Deliberately admits to disrespecting his opponents during matches. Has made comments akin to Wade vs Asada, where he beat DVD R1 of 2021 WGP, "I beat him and I wanted to make him know he'd lost".

Other

- His ranking (largely due to the Euro Tour and a UK Open final soon to be binned), means he's significantly overrated on the OOM and imo doesn't deserve the credit and status he receives. His record in his first two full years of the "majors" is either inconsistent at best and mediocre at worst. In other words, he's got to #5 by only getting to one tv ranking final and that was ages ago.

Very surprised he didnt throw in "had the nerve to enter and play and win an event he was eligible to play in" amongst that lot.

He's currently 3rd on the yearly Order of Merit and he's reached the quarters, semis and semis of the last 3 TV tournaments lol, I don't think he's ready to win this, but he's #5 in the world on merit

I mean, you can grumble at the rankings system all you like, but it's mostly pretty fair, it's not as if Humphries has put his feet up for 51 weeks of the year and only turned up at the Worlds

I probably should've worded it better and it's hard for me to explain it exactly

It's not the rankings system, I don't know part of me feels like he's cheated his way to 5th for just being shit hot on the Euro Tour for a month. You take out April and May 2022 ProTour events and he's only just top ten. Between 8-10 seems reasonable.

It's obvious he's a great player [despite being a cunt] but I don't think his position is overly fair when you judge 2 years worth of tv events, even if you can't argue he's 5th on merit.

So you cherry pick 4 events off his OoM total and he's still top 10? Sounds pretty good going!

[The Thorn]

Does it make literally any difference if he"s no.5 or no.10?

Krusty is no.1 and we all know he is nowhere near that in reality.

Hates him so much, he is blinded by rage and logic.

Agreed that the rankings don't really mean much as long as you're where you need to be at the relevant cut-off, but Wright is 2nd, and won't finish the year top unless someone outside the top 4 wins the tournament

Crazy agressive and a special hatred of cyclists? You may be on to something.
