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 3)


In the lower to mid-tier ranks, the "conjoined twins" strategy doesn't work well with Doria. Her specialty is refreshing skills, but her awareness is not strong enough. She doesn't analyze the rhythm of the game, hero strength, or how to maximize the benefits. She just throws out her ultimate skill whenever she sees someone, which is a waste of her skills.

Metaflow Assist

Most players habitually and willingly become the marksman's servants, with Hou Yi's flying bird, Gongsun Li's umbrella, and Sun Shangxiang's crossbow as if their skills are more important than those of other positions. With many skill-based heroes on the field, Doriya's functionality should have been greater than the sum of its parts. Yang Yuhuan used her ultimate twice in a row, Nuwa reaped two rounds of kills, Xiao Qiao's meteor shower was constant, and Lu Bu controlled the team twice. Her existence was equivalent to an awakening battle, unleashing her ultimate skills. Unfortunately, she is not suitable for every lineup. The skill level of the teammates determines her performance. Even if you know how to choose the right heroes, if the opponent doesn't know how to use their skills effectively, it's still a waste of your time.

Yuanliu support, recently released, quickly caught up with Doriya, appearing in 19 matches. Her strength is underestimated. She shares a shield, has an extremely long range, and with good teamwork, her gameplay can be quite unconventional and imaginative. For example, Shen Mengxi's bomb has a huge area of effect, requiring at least two dashes to avoid, but Yuanliu support easily dodges it using a youthful version of Flash. Furthermore, high-level gameplay revolves around grouping up, with a very fast pace that doesn't allow for solo farming. Especially in the late game, her ultimate's healing effect is significant. While lacking the initiation abilities of Su Lie and Lian Po, she delivers a unique and powerful performance.

Su Lie

Su Lie is right behind him, appearing 18 times in the Chinese server, with T0 strength. He can be called a team fight initiator and a nightmare in team fights. His ultimate flash has awakened the world. With two lives, he can make mistakes. Su Lie can roam more steadily than Zhang Fei. He has a variety of control methods, knocking back walls, strong basic stun, and area control with his ultimate. A series of chain control is even better than Zhang Fei's beast transformation. There is no need to accumulate rage.

After the adjustment, the ultimate skill's charge time is no longer bound, increasing its strength by several levels and opening up new ways to play Su Lie's triple combo. This allows for continuous control, followed by knocking the enemy back, with damage built-in in the attributes. It also possesses control that is difficult to defend against. Once someone gets close, escaping becomes extremely difficult. These are the famous support players in the peak competition. Their number of matches in the national server is quite valuable as it represents their potential. What kind of support do you usually play?
