Time drags on endlessly; the developers are biased, and these heroes haven't had a new release in over two years: Male Heroes Edition


The support role is beginner-friendly, and even veteran players who don't want to waste time in ranked matches have started switching to roaming. With its elevated status, the playability has increased, and there's no longer the loneliness of jungling or top lane. Mid laners are becoming tools, and resources are being taken away. Now, they go to the development lane to fight alongside the marksman, coordinating to kill targets, which is never boring. What's more, Da Qiao is a teleportation artifact. Her second skill allows her to return to base and recover, and her vortex gate summons teammates to initiate team fights. Her damage is also not low. Her first and second skills can cripple squishy targets in the early game. I really didn't expect that there hadn't been a high-quality game for 797 days.

Dian Wei: 797 days

Dian Wei's simplicity and brutality are evident to all. As a warrior-type jungler, he doesn't have the fragility of a pure assassin. While top laners like Ma Chao and Nezha are more effective, and tanks often prioritize farming speed when roaming the jungle, Dian Wei is an exception. His attack speed is incredibly high, and his stomp is like a mad dog's frenzied hacking, making squishy heroes tremble with fear and dare not approach. Even if you are slowed down by crowd control, he has a cleanse to remove negative effects. If he sees you from afar, he will do anything to chase and beat you up.

Regardless of pick rate or win rate, its overall performance in ranked matches was quite good. It wasn't until netizens discussed it that they learned it had been over 797 days since a high-tier skin was released. The last one was the most classic and highly praised "War Drums of War," with explosive special effects and a smooth feel. It's a bit of a shame that it was made into a direct sale skin. Because of this arrangement, players naturally bought this skin first. If it were made into a limited-time skin and brought back, it would definitely sell like hotcakes. The limited number of times it could be released would increase the probability of it being made into a new product. It's unknown whether there will be skins of this quality in the future. If you already have a legendary skin, and the store is waiting for you to sell it, what reason is there to spend time and effort to get a rare legendary skin, or even a limited-edition skin?

Donghuang Taiyi: 1000 days

Donghuang Taiyi is a permanent fixture in the ban zone. After the 10-ban rule was implemented, he was almost never played. It's no wonder that the developers never included this support in their skin plans. They sell skins but never have a chance to play him, which is a waste of production costs. If it weren't for Ziyang winning the FMVP, we wouldn't have had a Zhuoyou Lieyang skin. This year, during the Spring Festival, it was directly listed as a free reward and one of the limited-time point shop benefits. The other high-end skin is the 2019 Zhumeng Zhiguang.
