Are you being discriminated against by teammates due to strong stereotypes? Jiang Ziya is useful in ranked matches, and Wu Zetian can control the Empress: A tutorial on choosing your champio

Not to mention the real world, discrimination also exists in competitive games. Some heroes have a painful past, or their reputation has been ruined by players who play "Buddhist" games. They fall into traps repeatedly. There is a limit to tolerance. As the number of victims gradually expands, it creates a bad reputation online. If you dare to bring it up, it's tantamount to declaring war and ruining the game. They might as well give you a hand and get stuck in the 30-minute match together, playing passively, deliberately stealing resources, running away from team fights, standing by and watching, and messing with people's mentality.

Incorrect pairings make it difficult for even a powerful hero to take on five opponents.

It might sound a bit exaggerated, but this is a common phenomenon in gaming: mechanics become outdated, gameplay becomes monotonous, and each rank offers a different perspective. The popularity of certain ranks (like Diamond or Master) doesn't mean the top 1000 players are universally acclaimed. Just like the high-skill junglers exclusive to high-level games, where teamwork is paramount, don't mistakenly believe a god has descended and brought light to the entire team in lower ranks. After the match, you'll realize that the "ordinary" player you once saw was utterly hopeless. What kind of "strong" player can 1v5, with the others not pushing towers, their power spike limited, immediately handing over the lead to the enemy after dying, pushing down the high ground within a minute, ending the game, giving an MVP title, and losing a star—but are you willing to do that? A game that should have been a sure win ends up being a half-hour of agonizing stalemate.

Jiang Ziya is seriously underestimated.

Environment determines options, and choice is more important than effort. This is an unchanging law of competitive gaming. It's undeniable that playing your main hero is a good thing. Playing a favorite hero and being good at a particular role is always better than starting from scratch. Theoretically, this is correct. Adding options makes it easier to deal with various lineups. Common heroes like Xiao Qiao, Zhen Ji, and Tan Ji, the "bush sisters," are everywhere. This time, let's talk about mid-laners who are underestimated and even discriminated against. They are labeled as weak, perhaps because they happen to be in the wrong rank. The data clearly tells you where they are most suitable to go.

Jiang Ziya, a support or mid-laner, is a name that immediately draws criticism. It's perceived as inferior, a mage with no damage, unable to compete in mid-lane, forced to roam and steal damage, and squishy. He's relegated to the backline, pushing the marksman to absorb damage, lacking both the buffs of a soft support and the defense of a hard support. Data shows an 11.9% pick rate and 51.1% win rate across all skill levels; an 8.1% pick rate and 48.9% win rate in the 1350-level peak match; and a 10.5% pick rate and 49.6% win rate in top-tier ranked matches. How is he weak?
