Season 43 Mid Lane Situation: Marksmen Transform into Mages, Supports Gain Major Control in the Mid Lane: Tier 2

Wu Zetian has never been underestimated. Mid-lane players are well aware of her strength. After years of evolution, she has finally caught up with the pace and was not neglected by the developers. Previously, fearing the loss of ordinary players, the developers strengthened paid heroes, which led to a flood of negative comments online, who felt that the treatment was unfair. Later, with the increase in quality creation and the fact that the Glory Collection was no longer the most expensive item, players reconsidered and re-evaluated her strength. Perhaps Wu Zetian really deserves a Crystal.

Zhen Ji's Ice Injection gameplay is weak.

It's okay if you don't like her, because Shiranui Mai has risen to prominence and her priority has increased significantly. The so-called six-stage dash and punches and kicks have once been relegated to the T3 tier. Her fighting style is flashy, but she is vulnerable. For the same reason, thanks to the boot attributes and support mid lane opening, her early-game advantage is highlighted. She has the opportunity to be a carry, play aggressively, and reduce the need for movement probing. Of course, the premise is that the teammates are in sync. As a mage assassin, she is like a jungler, entering the fray to gank squishy targets or finishing them off later. If the weakness of being afraid of control is not changed, if you pick Shiranui Mai in low ranks, you are likely to be focused down. You will foolishly go to fight alone. You will try your best to bypass the tanks and attack the backline, only to find that your teammates have retreated. You will be abandoned without realizing it. The Blade of Despair and the Blazing Dominator will always create a point of vulnerability.

The third sister, Zhen Ji, lacks any mobility or crowd control abilities and is ranked last because of her slow wave clear. With support, her water ball bounce is ineffective, making her worse than Tank and Angela. She is listed as part of T1 mainly because of her team fight capabilities, at least she has lane priority. In the late game, when her attack power is fully stacked, she can even instantly kill tanks. However, her win rate in peak matches has dropped below 50%, indicating a decline in her combat power. Next season, she might drop to T2.

T2: Yuanliu Mage

Among the five classes of the Yuanliu school, the Yuanliu mage is the most successful. Only after the developers nerfed the overpowered mage's control duration and base damage did the class recover and fall into the T2 tier. Mages who focus on damage output rely on farming; without items, they are easily harassed and suffer in the early game. Angela, on the other hand, doesn't have these problems. As long as the support and jungler provide consistent crowd control, her skill hit rate is practically 100%. A barrage of damage, including orbs and laser burns, can kill even tanks. In Season 43, this mage, once labeled a "newbie mage," could even hold her own against Mai Shiranui.
