The mid-lane gradient was updated, Diao Chan dropped out of T0, and Xishi defeated Shen Mengxi.

Time flies. During the celebration of summer vacation, the S40 season quietly enters the mid-term. We must hurry up to gain points. Friends who have not yet obtained the King's Mark may need to be a little anxious. After all, the brick and stone game is the most difficult place to escape.

At the beginning of the season, the battle environment of the mage changes the most.

With the overlap of versions, players' awareness has gradually improved. They no longer want to be the rhythm leader. They can experience the pleasure of output by using a mage. The two-way support expands the team's advantage. A set of combos can kill instantly, and after the cooldown is over, they can come again. The strength of the back row C position must not be underestimated. The question is, do you know what kind of phenomenon the mid-lane gradient ranking has evolved into so far?

I remember at the beginning of the season, everyone was discussing the health and cooldown bonuses of Book of the Dead, as well as the worrying mana consumption. After getting through that phase and adapting to the meta, the pros all returned to high-level play, and for those remaining, now is the perfect time to climb the ranks. Without further ado, let's find out who truly reigns supreme.

Diao Chan

Diao Chan, the very name always strikes fear into people. She's well-suited for semi-tank health-regenerating items, and her defense grants her stand-and-gun abilities while maintaining burst damage. Her equipment and ultimate have cooldowns, allowing for unlimited skill refreshes. Her early season appearance and win rate skyrocketed. She's universally beloved, and regardless of skill, she's a force to be reckoned with. Her reckless use in ranked matches has led opponents to exploit her, like Zhang Liang, Donghuang Taiyi, Mozi, and Shao Siyuan. Even when playing as a laner in a competitive match, mid-to-late game, mages and supports will combine to control her in teamfights, making her a struggle to play.

Without economy, she is basically useless. She dies instantly when she uses her ultimate skill. She doesn’t even need to move. The mage who has been played badly, by the middle of the season, her damage gradually fails to keep up with the version. Although the official has not announced any data adjustments, her strength is obviously declining. This issue reminds you that she is no longer the girl of the version you imagined. The former T0 has to give up the throne and let others take her place. Guess whose combat capability will surpass this one of the four beauties in the canyon who broke through the mid-lane route?

The forum's answer is Shen Mengxi. Is that really the case? Gradient tells you, no.
