Guide to banning shooter heroes, who is not allowed to release to get the experience: auxiliary chapter

Zhuang Zhou, Donghuang Taiyi, Zhang Liang, and so on—people often view supports as their natural enemies, forgetting the experience of marksmen. While junglers dominate the early game, marksmen take over in the later stages, leading the team to victory. Frequent sudden deaths effectively deprive the team of its ultimate firepower. Unless the opponent is too weak, or your own mage can outmaneuver five, victory depends on stealing towers. If you happen to be playing a development lane, perhaps these three are the ones you should be targeting during the ban phase.

Mozi

The hit Golden Scorpio skin instantly brings Mozi back to the mainstream. He's a versatile attacker with multiple control abilities. He fires lightning cannons from a distance, causing stuns, and has a powerful displacement ability that stuns twice. His ultimate activates a high-energy screen, shocking nearby targets, leaving both the backline and the frontline completely distracted. He deals high damage early on, and as a mage, one hit can cost you half your life. Two hits instantly cost you lane control, and a third forces you to retreat to the tower to feed on health packs or even recall to base. This back-and-forth can significantly reduce your development efficiency – that's Mozi's charm.

If you study his mechanism carefully, it is actually quite similar to Baili Shouyao. He attacks from a distance, disrupting your movement. You are busy dodging and have no time to attack. If you can dodge, it won't cause any loss to Mozi. After a few seconds, it will cool down again. On the other hand, the shooter who was hit will suffer too much debuff.

After being released, you can only rely on equipment to deal with it

What if it really comes out? During the laning phase, his skill vacuum is quite long. After avoiding the stun of the Thunder Cannon, he actually buys himself seven seconds to last hit and farm. He tries to move sideways or hide behind the minion line to avoid being hit.

If your opponent suddenly becomes aggressive, misses your second skill, and uses your first skill to move you, aiming to stun you, there's a good chance they're hiding a jungler or mage in the nearby brush, ready to strike you with a short stun and then leap in to kill you instantly. Buying resistance boots early on is a good strategy, but it's a temporary solution. It's better to buy a Witch's Cloak or a Magic Resistance Windbreaker, which are cheap at 275 gold but provide 100 points of magic resistance, significantly offsetting Mozi's damage consumption.
