The Yuanliu Archer class remains firmly in first place, while casual players consider Baili Shouyue to be useless, yet he has been recycled and utilized by the Chinese server.

The ranking of combat power in the Chinese server is so impressive that it leaves ordinary players speechless every time it is updated. In this world of chaotic battles, there is no room for newbies. What others consider trash, they know how to use as a tool to climb the ranks. Is it because the newbies play poorly, or is it because they are limited by their output environment?

In low-elo games, marksmen rely entirely on their teammates.

Marksmen are highly regarded, though the early game is tough, relying on teammates for support to get through the development phase. Ranked matches offer a good experience, especially in group matches. Since you know each other privately, you'll naturally look out for each other and won't just stand by and watch you get targeted. In high-level matches, while teamwork is important, team composition is crucial. Playing a marksman is almost the same as playing a top laner; you need to learn to protect yourself because your support, with years of experience, won't just stay in the development lane mindlessly acting as a bodyguard.

This role is called "roaming," not "servant." It involves leaving the mid lane or jungle at appropriate times to participate in team fights, slowly moving to the top lane, then using a portal to return to the bottom lane, pushing towers while farming. In short, it requires strong resilience; otherwise, the player's mentality is easily broken. In any rank, if you receive this kind of treatment, you'll likely start complaining and writing insults. If you're not protected or cared for, you might as well not play. Don't expect to be called upon to join team fights or push towers in a straight line. Farming becomes difficult, you start consuming jungle resources, and you constantly disrupt the player's mentality. This is the attitude of a marksman in ranked matches: the whole world revolves around them, they are the core of the team. If the mid laner doesn't come, the top laner is absent, or the jungler is farming, it's all a trigger.

Chinese server power champion: Yuanliu's Son

This phenomenon doesn't exist in high-level ranked matches. Play as a lone wolf, survive independently, and focus on farming safely. Having your support stand still is pointless. Pay close attention to the minimap, watch out for enemy movements, and if something feels off, retreat to your turret. If necessary, abandon the turret to protect yourself. In the high-level world, who is the champion in the eyes of the pros? The Yuanliu Marksman is number one on the list—surprised? Many thought the nerf to the orb build severely impacted his damage output, but the current meta favors late-game penetration. Players familiar with stats and attributes know that the early and mid-game are attrition battles, and later the core focus shifts to the ultimate ability, making it a very high priority. This solidifies his number one position.
