The new king of bans, marksmen collectively boycott Mozi, will players calm down after he returns to the mid lane?

Ban rate, the ban rate of frequently banned champions, symbolizes the degree of players' aversion to them. Mechanized monsters, debuffs, double control, interference with output, overpowered monsters, etc., are all thorns in the side of summoners. After the change of dynasties, junglers were gradually replaced by supports. Even after the 10 bans were introduced, more than half of them were roaming professions, forcing players to pick unconventional supports, warriors, tanks, and mages. According to the data released by the King of Glory Camp, Mozi ranked first, and Zhuang Zhou ranked second.

Mozi, as a support hero, is hated by many; transitioning to mid-lane is his only way out.

The developers revealed in a live stream that they were planning to revamp Mozi and return him to the mid lane. Perhaps the ban rate gave them this idea, a precautionary measure. Previously, the mid lane couldn't accommodate him; his wave clear was slow, and he was weak in solo fights. So, he went to the development lane to find a partner. Without saying a word, he would launch his lightning cannon, consuming most of the enemy's health. He was tanky and could deal damage, with continuous crowd control that left no room for retaliation. In the laning environment, the real nemesis was Mozi, not the marksman next to him. When Mozi was in poor condition, he would hide in the back and provide additional damage. He could tower dive and kill with his ultimate, and his crowd control was enough to give you a headache. Even if the damage wasn't satisfying, his ultimate was to tilt the enemy. The remaining hope is that the developers will reshape his attributes and save him from his imprisonment.

Nemesis: Summoned Archer

Given such a high ban rate, surely there must be some counter or nemesis? Three heroes made the list, with Agudo topping the list with a counter index of 4.02, the highest level, which is perfectly reasonable. The main reason is that her pet perfectly blocks the extremely long range of her second skill. Using it as a shield, any unit, minion wave, or jungle monster that hits it will immediately explode on the spot, so there's no worry about being hit herself. Her small skill summons small animals; with Mozi in front and three jungle monsters, it easily alleviates the opponent's control effects.

The second is Cang, with a counter index of 3.77. Based on the same principle, he is an animal summoner. When facing Mozi in lane, even if the support cannot block the cannonballs, this marksman's wolf pack is a good shield. It also has a special feature: after being summoned, it will chase and bite the enemy. If Mozi is hiding nearby, he doesn't need to care at all. The strong basic attack has a small knockback effect and can also interrupt Mozi's ultimate. The whole mechanism seems to be designed for Mozi. Playing against him will steal the experience.
