I feel like the fact that they're RPing lore breaking Sues in the first place kind of takes away the "awesome roleplayer" thing, myself. If they were great/amazing, they wouldn't be doing it in the first place, or at least would know how to roleplay that without making it awful. That's part of what makes a good roleplayer a good roleplayer. Granted, it's largely opinion, but that's how I feel on the matter.
^ Basically. Not to mention RPing a trope or cliche does not necessarily equate anyone RPing a lore-breaking Sue--in fact, it goes against the statement at hand about tropes and cliches being played off well. I wouldn't think it's being played well if it's coming off as "lore-breaking Sue" and detracting from the person's potential skill as an RPer. I've been RPing for over a decade now, so I've been around the block and seen about all there is to see.
