Even expert players can't salvage these meta-obsolete heroes: The Meta Tank Edition

The concept of a "Prince of the Stream" who debuted at his peak and could play all five positions is questionable. In order to regain the confidence of players, the planners spared no effort to promote him, giving away costumes and bestowing him with excessive base stats. He was once so glorious, but he was discarded after being used, and now he is so pathetic. He can forget about shining in high-level games. Even in all ranks, choosing him to play is a luxury. Now that he has all the roles, the mid-laner is being promoted, the assassins remain popular, and the tanks are sidelined.

The casual players don't appreciate it, but the strange appearance rate in the arena is quite good, and the win rate is not low. This shows that environmental factors are preventing him from progressing. He can't be compared to others. How dare he bring him out in the peak competition and embarrass himself? I don't know why he was given the cold shoulder. Perhaps the mission has been completed. The social system of Jixia Academy has been developed, and the collaboration event with the new game "Honor of Kings World" has ended. Maybe they will start to make money in the future, and the set will have to be purchased with points.

If we ignore it because of its high pick rate in professional matches, it seems like putting the cart before the horse. Its activity and revenue come entirely from casual games. What's the point of releasing it and then discarding it? The reason the "Elemental Tank" has fallen out of favor should be discussed starting with the nerf to its second skill. This created a chain reaction. What you consider insignificant stats become insignificant in the face of faster game pace and equipment adjustments. While other heroes are moving to new heights, it's stagnating, performing poorly at every rank. Its replayability is inferior to Elemental Marksmen and Mages. In the era of Warrior/Tank heroes, only the Elemental Tank is failing, which is inexplicable.

Even a god couldn't save it; the second skill's revert is no longer effective. Unless the target-locking distance is increased and the short range is reduced, there might be a way out in the peak competition.
