How to find your Tier 0 in ranked matches? These three mages resonate with players, their approachable status disregarding high-level games. (Part Two)

Angela can take down front-line tanks. Her mechanics include invulnerability and a super high shield. Her second skill, Fireball, stuns the target, followed by her ultimate's continuous burning. If you know how to ambush from bushes, she's a nightmare for junglers, getting killed before even getting a kill. For this type of high-burst mage, there's basically no need to plan or change your build or runes; just mindlessly stack attack power. Nightmare's Fang isn't very effective, so ignore healing heroes. Intentionally buy a Grievous Wounds item; her combo is so exaggerated that the opponent doesn't even have a chance to heal. Consider magic damage or sprint boots.

Frankly

Beginner-friendly mage, highly recommended for those who don't want to think too much. The skill mechanics and attack methods are simple, and you can handle all the troubles. The hit rate is so low that you don't even need to test it; it's all about locking in kills. The famous combo is 231, which will stun you with a heart-shaped attack, leaving you with only a few seconds to be beaten and completely trapped. Only purification can remove it.

With a 31.5% pick rate and 49.81% win rate across all skill levels, and a 22.3% pick rate and 48.72% win rate in top-tier ranked games, it's clear how popular she is. Angela requires prediction, while Tank's practice cost is zero. At this point, summoners might wonder why this type of mage is considered a Tier 0 mage. Her simple and straightforward damage mechanism makes Tank a mid-to-late game hero. She might not be able to kill in the early game, but her lock-on control makes her a jungler's helper, allowing teammates to deal damage while she acts as a utility hero, only ganking later. Undeniably, Tank is most vulnerable to the Witch's Cloak. Never let her see you low on health or with only half a life left; this item makes death almost inevitable. High-level games have many large-scale team fights where damage is easily distributed, but ranked games don't have this concern.

After the update, her functionality has greatly increased. While she doesn't quite reach T0 status, she's still a regular T1 pick, with a 15.7% pick rate and 51.93% win rate across all skill levels. In top-tier ranked matches, her pick rate is 28.29% and her win rate is 50.49%. She has a lot of consistent crowd control, which is a big plus. She has extremely strong poke and high average damage output. Standing still is more advantageous than burst damage. With a little prediction, her second and third skills can cause a lot of trouble. Compared to the previous two picks, she doesn't require high AP and focuses on debuffs and cooldown reduction.
