Is Nuwa not the strongest mage in the late game? Data from the King of Glory website suggests otherwise, with some believing Jiang Ziya is underrated. (Part Two)

Let's start with the truly strongest mage. The champion on the list, according to data from the King of Glory website, is Jiang Ziya. I wonder what everyone's impression of this hero is? He is highly controversial. Even if he plays support, he will still annoy people. Teammates dislike him the most, especially those in the development lane who play marksman. They hope to have the strongest arm to lean on, share hardships, stand in the front to take all the damage, and, if necessary, be a sacrifice to help him escape.

Jiang Ziya's roaming is difficult, and his teammates tend to discriminate against him.

At least support heroes have some buffing effects, like speed boosts, healing, and providing buffs. But what about Jiang Ziya? He stands behind, charging up to steal minion waves. Yes, he has a god-level skill that allows him to break through level 15 and reach a maximum of level 25. This adds two level 25 heroes to the team, which sounds like a morbid phenomenon. All his skills are primarily offensive: his first skill reduces armor, his second skill provides control, and his ultimate deals damage. What's the difference between him and a mid-laner? With a mage next to him, it's natural to instinctively assume he'll steal damage, taking zero damage himself.

Supports are hated, so would switching them to mid lane improve the situation? The damage output build itself isn't bad, but the point of attack is the ultimate's charging animation, making it easy for opponents to catch you. Unless you unlock the Celestial Mode after level 15, you can get rid of this drawback, generate a spirit to continue casting spells, extend your vision, move freely, and use small skills to attack. The whole process is extremely fast and doesn't take much time.

Mid-lane win rate: 54.55%

In terms of competitive strategy, mages are unlikely to be the primary target of assassins unless they offend or provoke the opponent, such as by stealing buffs, having a near-zero death count, and an excessively high kill rate. Such blatant behavior will cause them to abandon ganking the marksman and instead summon all teammates to ambush in the mid lane, or even tower dive for a kill. Their survival rate is slightly lower, but as long as they don't wander around aimlessly, they are generally fine. If they need to provide support, they can consider buying Swift Boots to cross the jungle to the side lanes, where the death rate is higher.

With a win rate of 54.45%, higher than other mages, it dominates the mid lane. Of course, you need to pay attention to details in gameplay. If you have a smooth early game, it is highly recommended to buy a Zhonya's Hourglass or Blazing Dominator for self-protection. Group up more often and cooperate with your teammates to fight, which will improve your survivability. Your instant kill speed is still a bit behind that of a tank, and your survival rate will increase if you have someone with you.
