Was Yu the Great's reduction of auxiliary usage costs good or bad? Don't rush to conclusions; Sun Bin also survived in the same way: the Yuanliu chapter.


A brainless hero, viewed from another perspective, isn't it a favorite among newbies? So why criticize it and lower the overall skill level? Tanji's skins are selling like hotcakes, his skill combos are fixed, and he's an easy character to pick up, ensuring a good gaming experience. Wins and losses are unpredictable, so at least you're having a good time playing him, and losing isn't painful. It's much better than picking a flying assassin, weaving between enemies, blocking with your left hand while stabbing in the abdomen with your right, standing and fighting while dealing with mage control—it's a painful experience the whole time. Your intention is to carry the team, but the whole team is uncooperative, resulting in defeat. How would that feel? Players who criticize Yu the Great don't have this kind of burden.

Yuanliu Support: A Hero for One-Sided Fun

After commenting that they started playing Yu the Great, they rarely felt the urge to switch heroes. This inevitably brings to mind Sun Bin, who once had a peak. This article will recall some of the criticized, brainless support heroes. First up is the Yuanliu support. Shortly after its release, it was quickly sidelined. Without skins to boost its effectiveness, it relied on wearing outfits. Yuanliu tanks were weak, Yuanliu mages were rarely seen, but Yuanliu marksmen were decent (though international servers have different data). The initial impression of Yuanliu support was that it was weak, but it became stronger after leveling up. Its second skill, the casting platform, provided a Flash, somewhat similar to a 10v10 map battlefield, increasing team mobility. However, those who benefited from this magic circle didn't like it interfering with their positioning during team fights.

He gave up all his points and was appreciated by the top 1000 players.

Passive movement, stepping in and suddenly teleporting to a designated direction, the Yuanliu support can undoubtedly throw out skills randomly, harassing opponents with high-frequency sound waves. To put it simply, it's a hero that's fun to play on one side, meaning self-indulgent. My personal experience is excellent, but others are suffering. The combat experience is uncomfortable, and the pick rate has plummeted across all ranks. This so-called brainless hero has been forced to transform into a top-tier hero. Whoever picks it will be suppressed. The brainless mechanism has been weakened, and it's still within acceptable limits. How should this situation be analyzed?

The buff to Yu the Great is temporary. No hero is ever truly at their peak. New players need to be promoted, which might lead to them being overpowered. Then, the focus shifts to the new season, and then there will be complaints about the lack of status for support heroes. It's an endless cycle.
