In the late game, they lost 60%. These heroes’ advantage period cannot be delayed. Ming Shiyin is at the bottom. (IV)

The win rate of soft supports isn't necessarily declining in the late game. With meta changes, these once-undervalued characters have finally gained a higher status. Their primary class is roaming, not a secondary class developed from other lanes. Jiang Ziya and Wang Zhaojun were originally mid-lane mages, but due to the pressure of laning, their switch to support class has given them a chance to shine. They've become utility players, dealing debuffs but still dealing plenty of damage. In the early game, they seem to be facing off against double carries.

Leaving the beaten path, performance improved dramatically

The potential awaits players. Highly playable mages have been forced to leave the traditional lanes, with Diao Chan taking the top lane and Zhuge Liang becoming a popular jungler. This unconventional option has drawn widespread criticism, but time has proven that this alternative strategy, which has secured more resources, has ushered in a period of strength ahead of expectations. Diao Chan, a mage in a mage's body, boasts exceptional health regeneration and invincible movement, while wearing a tanky armor set and single-handedly outclassing warriors, rivaling Mi Yue. Chang'e also exemplifies this, emerging as the strongest top laner after leaving mid, boasting the highest win rate of all heroes.

Fourth place: Su Lie

The same principle applies to gaming and life. Sometimes, untapped potential can lead to feeling stuck. Perhaps the problem lies in your environment. Be brave enough to step away and try something new. Perhaps you'll find your way. It's precisely because of your incompetence that you can achieve anything. Even tanks switching to a mages face an inevitable period of adaptation. Top laners struggle in laning, so the only option is to step aside and become a capable assistant. With a sturdy physique and accompanying damage output, you'll achieve twice the result with half the effort. Su Lie's rise to support immediately boosted him to the T0 level, though his win rate dipped slightly in the later stages. His early win rate was 59.89%, nearly breaking the 60% mark—a truly impressive stat. But as the pace of play progressed, it dropped to 48.87% in the later stages.

Of course, this is data for all tiers, which might indicate a lack of proficiency, like flashing to initiate a fight but finding no one to cooperate, using full damage equipment, not finding the right environment to enter, or teammates not reviving after being knocked down. Speaking objectively, Su Lie boasts impressive equipment, capable of both offensive and defensive play. In the later stages, his performance depends on the quality of his teammates, with a gradual peak at the top, where his ceiling is. In the mid- and low-tier tiers, it's like a single-player game, where self-preservation is paramount and everyone plays their own game. If you die suddenly in a fight, everyone will blame you for your recklessness.
