Case study in King of Glory: Donghuang Taiyi defeated Zhang Liang after choosing magic resistance equipment.

The sixth case, the pairing of the two players is quite puzzling. Perhaps they were playing solo queue and were vying to play their favorite heroes, not paying much attention to each other's choices. The first pick was a support, and since Donghuang Taiyi was rarely available, they quickly picked him first. This move was not surprising. The idea was probably to protect their teammate Diaochan, take away the opponent's counter, and let the mage output damage in peace and enjoy themselves.

However, the opposing team was facing off against Baili Shouyue and Zhang Liang. The first-floor opponent wasn't intimidated, exchanging pressure skills and fighting to the bitter end. Both shared the same strongest crowd control skill, making it impossible for any other skill to counter its effect. It was clearly a case of Baili Shouyue dominating Donghuang Taiyi. Baili Shouyue had a sniper rifle, maintaining a safe distance to output damage; getting close to pull in was nearly impossible. Working together to kite him and whittle down his health was logical. Their own teammate landed on the fifth floor and cleverly chose Marco Polo. Zhang Liang was a bit difficult to defend against, but at least he could easily dodge Baili's bullets.

The biggest flaw in the loss was Donghuang Taiyi's item build. Buying the right items and the Swift Boots was acceptable, but the remaining items, Phoenix Feather and Witch's Cloak, were a bit outdated. It was clear that he wanted to resist Zhang Liang's magic damage, but the problem was that the opponent was playing tanky items, and secondly, he hoped to increase his damage output through magic items. Watching too many videos didn't prove effective in actual combat, and this was the best example.
