The advantages of T0 warriors are clear. Ma Chao is an operation-oriented character. If you master the skills and handle the details well, you can achieve amazing results. Chi Chao has innate attribute advantages. He is not overpowered, but he is not the kind of player that everyone can play. His mechanism is complex and he constantly switches weapons, so there are very few skin options. It seems that from the moment he was created, the planners reserved him for high-level games. He can play two side lanes freely. He is a real god-tier character and ranks first.
T0.5: Nezha, Sikong Zhen
These heroes are ranked in the T0.5 tier. They are ubiquitous and given high priority by players. Despite version updates, their status remains unchanged. Sikong Zhen has risen to prominence. His skills are forgiving and flexible, and like Ma Chao, he is suitable for kiting. He is not very popular among professional players, but he is very popular among solo queue players, especially in high-level ranked matches. His battle scenes are explosive, and he does have explosive damage, not just flashy special effects.
Nezha needs to sell skins, so adjustments are understandable. His win rate can't compare to Yuan Ge or Guan Yu, but in terms of popularity, he's considered approachable. At least he's not as unpopular as some others. His popularity is low, with a 12.1% pick rate and 52.6% win rate across all ranks; in the peak match at 1350, the pick rate is 19.3% and the win rate is 51.95%; and in the top ranked matches, the pick rate is 20.8% and the win rate is 53.23%.
Although his tier ranking is lower than other warriors, his ranking in the hearts of players is very significant. His appearance rate and ban rate are ridiculously high, and his combat power in the national server is consistently in the top ten, which is enough to prove that he is a potential star in Season 43.
T1: Kuang Tie, Cao Cao, Charlotte
Tier 1 represents popular choices, including heroes like Lao Fu Zi, Meng Tian, Charlotte, Ying, Kuang Tie, and Cao Cao. These are common heroes in high-level games, each with their own unique characteristics, depending on the player's preferred mechanics. Is it high tankiness? Immunity to crowd control? Sustain? Or survivability? Ying is currently making a comeback, with a 2.8% pick rate and 52.25% win rate across all ranks; in the peak 1350 ranking, the pick rate is 5.6% and the win rate is 52.14%; and in top-tier ranked games, the pick rate is 3.7% and the win rate is 52.28%. In lower and mid-ranks, they are unlikely to be favored, but their actual strength is not bad. With the right team composition, their strength and potential are high. For those who prefer simplicity, Kuang Tie, Cao Cao, and Charlotte are recommended.
