The skill mechanism of Dayu Ding is not invincible, and these three are the most feared opponents in ranked matches.

Will the new hero, Yu the Great, receive a lot of attention? Not entirely. His weaknesses are already being discussed on forums. No top player has developed a new strategy or gameplay approach to open up a new market. He's nowhere to be found across all skill levels, top-tier matches, and high-stakes tournaments. However, the novelty remains, and some players will undoubtedly use ranked matches to practice him. At the beginning of the season, coupled with the matchmaking algorithm stabilizing the strength of both teams, this subtly encourages unsuspecting players to become "super minions" and dare to experiment.

The core gameplay of Yu the Great involves eight cauldrons.

They firmly believe that once they adapt to the system, they will surely succeed. Moreover, the low to mid-ranking ranks are the best testing ground, where players' awareness is not synchronized and their skill level is below average, making it easy to observe their performance. They are somewhat arrogant, looking down on their opponents and assuming they don't know how to counterattack. Regardless of their mindset when playing Yu the Great, the design of a hero certainly has its purpose. After the data is released, if the developers find the hero underperforming, they might buff him. At that time, these players will reap the benefits, and you will have to find the counter to suppress him until he is helpless.

The character is new, with a mysterious skill mechanic. On the surface, it only throws a cauldron, teleports, and heals, but in reality, it possesses a wide range of control, healing, invulnerability, and mobility, significantly increasing its survivability. Its first skill can knock back opponents, its second skill switches to a ranged form, and its ultimate skill provides crowd control. These advantages are primarily due to its exclusive weapon, the cauldron. Similar to its class's equipment, it can be dismantled and broken using skills. So, who is best suited to counter it? Without further ado, let's find out.

Liu Shan: Dismantles the cauldron in seconds

The tower-destroying artifact truly lives up to its name. The reason it becomes the nemesis of Yu the Great is that even the hardest cauldron thrown by the opponent instantly becomes as brittle as a biscuit. Even defensive towers are no match for it, let alone a device. With its first and second skills followed by a basic attack, it can destroy a cauldron in less than two seconds, and can also control the support back. The rhythm is fast, and when it gets close, it won't create any opportunities for the opponent to retaliate. Besides, Yu the Great's skill casting animation has too much pre-cast animation, and it's most vulnerable to being hit in the face. Once all the surrounding cauldrons are destroyed, what will it rely on for sustain? Its core advantages are all shattered.
