Laughing at people who treat trash like treasure? They were the darlings of the meta, dominating the Rift for several eras. (II)

Don't laugh at people who treat trash like treasure. Perhaps they're out of touch with the times, and they're your haters. As the saying goes, they're ignorant, stuck in their ways, and living within their own framework. These people always love to discriminate and question other people's choices. They're always ready to go against the grain and start something new, completely unaware of how the gameplay will evolve. Hero classes never limit their thinking. Mages can be junglers, warriors and tanks can be supports, and utility heroes can be great roaming assistants. Everything depends on how you use your equipment to match your skill mechanics, and your strength will immediately rise to another level.

When did Kai, this warrior, begin to be discriminated against? He's always been popular, with his skins selling like hotcakes. His legendary, Glory Collection, and other limited-edition skins are highly sought after. When discussing his strength, opinions are divided. Some say his popularity and looks are the main draw, like Lu Bu, where people just follow the crowd, seeing others use him and getting curious to try it too. A few versions ago, he started to be viewed with indifference, not considered a strong hero. He faces the same problem as Cao Cao: being constantly outmaneuvered. His basic attack doesn't pass through walls, and after transforming, he gets hit by several crowd control skills, wasting his ultimate for a few seconds. Dragging his greatsword while walking is extremely awkward. To kill an enemy, it seems like he has to ambush them from the bushes, unleash his ultimate, and then just sweep them away, sending them back to base.

Because some equipment has been adjusted, it perfectly matches his skill combination, giving him a significant boost in both attack and defense. His ultimate skill transforms him into a tanky and powerful attacker. Even if he misses, he'll still be "kited" as you described. With a simple counter-damage build, he can reliably stand and fight on the battlefield, slowly kiting you.

Shen Mengxi

The mage class has the lowest presence, but still has a decent pick rate in high-level games. It holds a strong position but is relatively unpopular. It is extremely rare in casual games. Shen Mengxi has undergone many transformations and given away almost all of his skins, but he still doesn't get the attention he deserves. This is because his bombs are like scratching a thorn. He frantically stacks attack power, but even in the late game, he still can't kill a squishy character.

Players have chosen the wrong item build. Shen Mengxi is designed to be a support hero, but this playstyle is incredibly annoying. In a casual game, it might not be effective in one-on-one situations, but when you analyze it as a team, it creates a lot of trouble.
