The Dark Letter's strength was nerfed? The developers gave it a partial buff, and after receiving the leak, players took to the internet to vent their anger.


Li Xin is a top-tier warrior with a high ranking in the national server. His skin design is eye-catching, featuring three forms that lead to two playstyles: Light Li Xin and Dark Li Xin. The former is a charged ranged attack, while the latter is immune to attack speed. One is born for team battles, while the other is for split pushing and tower stealing. Few players will switch forms in the same game. The initial decision was made based on the equipment strategy and rune setup. Switching to another form might not be as effective.

Data is rampant, so don't expect a good day. The planners are preparing to make changes, and sure enough, after the skin sales ended, they announced a series of adjustments, mainly targeting Dark Xin, which is believed to be released in Season 44. Whether this foreshadows the decline of the warrior era is still uncertain. There are countless fun top laners, such as Nezha, Ma Chao, and Mi Yue, all of whom pose a threat to marksmen. So much time has been spent promoting and reshaping old heroes, which won't easily disrupt the rhythm. At most, it depends on how to choose. Mages are the class that really needs help. They've been out of updates for several years, their stats are average, and they still need support on two lanes, giving up resources. Utility heroes have no damage, and burst heroes have difficulty making money. They're caught in a dilemma.

Dual forms are equivalent to dual heroes

Returning to Li Xin's attributes, the balance point is too difficult to grasp. The dual-form feature is a good thing, making him feel like two heroes. Different equipment can be freely chosen, which gives him a lot of freedom. Why is this the case? Players who have faced him are most familiar with this. After level four, there is a divergence, especially for Dark Li Xin. After transitioning, he basically will not go back to Light Li Xin. Even in team fights, he will still choose to pick off squishy targets instead of switching forms. He will stand still to charge up, and if he can't win, he will run away, go back to the jungle or lane to heal, and continue to steal towers.

In the same situation, if you choose the Light Formation at the beginning and enjoy participating in team battles, but are suddenly asked to switch to the Dark Formation to lead a lane, you will definitely not be used to it. It is precisely because of this setting that the planners cannot grasp the key point and give players the opportunity to enjoy two forms in a single game. If you choose a form at the beginning, you have to force yourself to fight to the end.

There are far more Dark Xin players than Light Xin players, especially in the peak matches and ranked solo queue. As a lone wolf, I naturally decided to focus on this form.
