Haha, I'm not gonna order mine but I'll list some favorites.

BrawlerEX is someone I think that, if he could finish something, could hold the entire LDing world in his palm. His game play is ingenious and his graphics are vastly improving. He still needs just one complete bam moment like SMIC.

Dark Blaze is so a favorite. I'm a story guy, but his pure platformers are captivating.

MP3 Amplifier gets better with almost every level and her consistency is stunning. Tearing Paper makes me feel like a proud parent.

Venexis. I would be nothing without this guy as a designer. He's a ♥♥♥♥ genius.

Star king- he's just pro. He has great ideas and, unlike many designers, his executions live up to it.

SuperMIC- He is one of the most accomplished storytellers in Runouw history, and his levels match in skill.

MICrophone, despite never having won an LDC, ultimately defines 2010 design for me. It's insane how underrated this guy is. No one talks of him anymore, but he's among the best and most consistent. I think he's in the top 5 of most medals/ribbons earned in LDCs. I hope he stages a Buffesque comeback soon.

Volcove, because he makes levels that could be their own games and are edited literslly perfectly.

Fourinone, because his levels are hilarious and so innovative it's taken for granted.

Aznchau, because he has a master of big contests and amazing atmosphere. It's literally embarrassing that I placed above him in the 7th LDC.

Zebtrestala, solely for making my all time favorite level.

And God so many more I love you all another post will be made later with more I'm sure

BY's Top 10(11)

We are talking only about SM63, ehh? If not, loads of names nobody knows about would fill some places here.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
#1) Volcove: He is one of three designers that earned my full respect for their work. And it's easy to guess why. He is an excellent all rounder and every level affects me in a different but awesome way. May it be nostalgia from games that less and less people seem to know, the pure overwhelming feel of new tricks, blosses or other things like that. That's what I think is a true legend in designing.

#2) MessengerOfDreams /~MP3 Amplifier~: I don't know if I give you this place cause I fixed some of your masterpieces or because your stories gave me feels I wasn't even aware of in the beginning. Or for Ampli's case because I testplayed some levels and spend more time while playing them. I see both of you on more or less the same level. It's a decision I can't easily take so I give both of you the second place of this ranking here. You are trully great. : P

#4) Star king: Your levels (Especially Dragon Valley) catched me as one of the first levels I played on this site and are one of those tiny reasons why I stayed here in the first place. You are one of the best designers I know for the gameplay and interactivity section. While our always postponed duel may not happen too soon in the future. I will always waiting for you to come back and take that request. (Yep. I still think I could be your rival... one day. :3) So third spot for awesome gameplay.

#5) SMIC: I haven't played very much of your levels, but each of them had a great concept and a good balanced design. I also like your stories I've seen so far and even if you don't seem to design in the next time or maybe never (please nooooot.). I feel well giving you my fourth spot here. : P

#6) Triple J: I freakin love the difficulty in your levels and they are really entertaining. If you continue that way and look out a bit more for tinier issues that damage the level (We both seem to suffer from the same things.) I can easily see you climbing up my top 10 of the favourite designers here.

#7) Buffooner: Yep. May it be the old school platforming what I always try to avoid or just the detailed work overall. You are 5th on my list and I will wait for your next level.

#8) lordpat/ 1018peter: One has good graphics the other one has good gameplay and nice concepts. I like your levels and I will always play them if I see one in the portal. They are entertaining and I enjoy the style mostly. It's just that
OMG-IT'S-AWESOME-HYPE-HYPE-HYPE-feel missing. But this can easily change by experience and more activity for pat's case.

#10) level4: I'm aware I won't see another level from you again and I have no idea how you are as a person. But even after these things you gained some respect from me and I love the mechanics in every of your levels. Also secretly trying to get better than you at inventing tricks and things that people use in their levels.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If someone wonders about 3 and 9 missing. In fact there are three people, just can't decide who is better in the tied designer parts. : P

(I forgot Nwolf somehow. I would actually tie him with Triple J. Cause I luv his style, gameplay and difficulty. Also the great concepts, looking at Ghostly Cave for example.) I'm sorry for forgetting you. I may add others later too. Cause I'm quite sure I forgot more than him.
