The elite of the elite: A review of the top support players in the Chinese server, with Shao Siyuan standing out from the crowd. (Part Two)

The Chinese server gives Shao Siyuan a top-tier rating. Not to mention soft supports, even among all roaming heroes, no other hero's mechanics can match her survivability and mobility. She combines the healing of a mage, the attack methods of an assassin, and the tankiness of a support, making her the best conjoined twin strategy that everyone is looking for.

Da Qiao

In the Chinese server, Da Qiao has appeared 23 times. Isn't that amazing? The second most played hero is still a support, a dual-lane hero, either a mage or a support. Don't underestimate her because she lacks combo crowd control. Two sweeping river attacks can suddenly leave someone severely wounded. From the old version to the present, she has always been played as a support. After the update, she lost the ability to quickly teleport teammates back to base. Before, she was used to heal teammates in low health instantly. Now, she is a support, but the teleportation method has changed. If no one is standing inside the magic circle, it will form another portal. Passing through it will immediately return you to the fountain. No matter how the ecosystem changes, teleporting and crowd control are her nature. Her strength lies in her ability to control the rhythm of the game, which far surpasses that of a jungler. Of course, the key is whether teammates are willing to cooperate.

The gameplay is multifaceted, depending on the landing point of the Vortex Gate. Strategic deployments are diverse; one could create a feint to lure enemies into a concentrated area, perhaps the Lord, then secretly disappear from sight, leading the marksman to destroy towers before teleporting back to base. Another strategy is to deliberately lure enemies into a chase, then unleash the ultimate at low health, summoning everyone to gang up on the enemy. Combined with Old Master's binding and ultimate, five can invade the jungle, while two can push lanes. You can't imagine it, but she'll do it immediately. Her most effective tactic is distraction; if you miss a minion wave, the enemy can easily place a Vortex Gate, leading to a push on the crystal. If you dare to return to defend, her teammates have the right to cancel the teleport. The skill ceiling is extremely high. The reason many don't play well in ranked matches is probably because they treat it like a single-player game and don't trust their teammates.

Doria

Dorria has appeared 19 times, with the top three picks all being support champions. Her win rate is average across different skill levels, and her popularity is similar. Only top-tier players can effectively utilize her refresh skill mechanism. Voice communication is more effective. In non-high-level games, just follow your instincts with Dorria. Whoever gets close and has a good stat will get her ultimate. She is not a weak support, but rather a result of skill differences.
