King of Glory Case Study: Five-player team narrowly wins against the "Conjoined Twins" team, Lian Po is a versatile hero who fits well with any lineup, offering both tankiness and

The long-awaited case analysis is back! This episode will discuss the reversal brought about by the support option. Roaming positions may not have a high presence in the team. Often, the so-called "filling" role is just following your heart. Pick your main character and prioritize the interests of the marksman. There is little encouragement for the overall lineup. The mindset is to protect the marksman and not allow him to die. If the opponent picks Marco Polo, it is natural to bring Yao to attach to him and give him a shield, in accordance with the mechanism.

The core of a team is the jungler and the marksman. The former dictates the pace of the game, while the latter provides ranged damage. The top laner split-pushes, and the mid laner provides control or supplementary damage. The game logic seems to tell players that everyone else is a support, and physical attacks are the true path to victory. If you think this way, you're sorely mistaken. Since the support role has become more prominent, its influence extends far beyond skin sales. Choosing the right hero can rewrite the fate of the entire team—yes, the entire team's trajectory. It's crucial.

Case 1: Lian Po compensates for insufficient tankiness, taking control of the front row.

Let's take this case as an example. The marksman is Lecio, the tank is Lao Fu Zi, and the jungler is Miyamoto Musashi. Their control abilities are average, and they lack a frontline. Although their top laner's ultimate flash engage is very strong, the opposing team isn't to be outdone and has chosen Yang Jian, Kai, and Zhen Ji to counter. Both are warriors, and regardless of who jungles, they will be frontliners. Based on the existing options, we get very little information. Considering our needs, we need increased defense, control, and initiation capabilities. Lian Po is the only choice. Unfortunately, the opposing team has chosen Mozi. Imagine if they replaced him with another soft support; with frequent crowd control and the backline providing debuffs, the frontline would be completely helpless in the fight.

Case 2: A swift victory, Ma Chao brings along Sun Bin with his swift movement.

In the second case, the team consisted of Ao Yin on the first floor, Ma Chao on the second, and Ying Zheng on the third. The opposing team had Tan Ji, Shao Siyuan, and Baili Xuance. The team's control ability was inferior to the opponent's, which was the main point. They all relied on small skills to entangle enemies in team fights. The team should have focused on the versatile Lian Po, but with Ma Chao as the main damage dealer, the team decided to take a risk and pick Sun Bin to initiate team fights quickly. This wasn't very effective, but fortunately, it was a five-player team, which made communication easier, and they ultimately won.
