Season 45: Must-try support heroes in the new version, the reformed Niu Mo makes team fights more fun with his increased strength.

With the arrival of the new version, the days of King of Glory are back to climbing the ranks. Guides, leaderboards, data analysis, and national server power rankings are essential tasks. After the rank reset, everyone's main hero won't be effective for now. Don't blame the system for intentionally manipulating the data, because top solo queue players in the peak matches, including professional players and streamers, are all transitioning to lower ranks. Rather than blindly going into battle and ending in failure, choosing the right hero will slightly improve the experience. Victory isn't guaranteed, but at least the success rate is higher. Regarding the balance of the version and the changes in the overall season environment, it will take time to collect data. We can follow the updates from the past test server. In Season 45, there is a support hero who will likely make a strong comeback across all ranks: Niu Mo. Do you still remember this tough support?

Hard support is the top choice, Dunshan is number one, Zhang Fei is number two.

When discussing tank supports, it's undeniable that they provide marksmen with a strong sense of security. However, at some point, they suddenly disappeared from the conversation, and the choice became between Dunshan and Zhang Fei. The former has an extremely high ban rate, which indirectly tells you that Zhang Fei has been chosen. His beast transformation initiation, roar, and knockback of enemies, causing a brief stun, is almost as powerful as Niu Mo's ultimate. His axe slamming into the ground and splitting it open is also a team fight initiation weapon, turning the tide of battle. Why is no one mentioning this?

Let's start with his weaknesses. As a tanky support, he's top-tier in terms of tankiness, but his movement is slow, his playstyle is somewhat extreme, and he has many pre- and post-cast animations. The so-called "tank" aspect is really just the cost of initiating team fights. If his skills miss, he's expected to be countered, resulting in a very poor experience. His small skills are terrible; the knock-up and knock-up are completely unbecoming of a support. His passive grants nearby teammates a bonus to both physical and magical resistance, but this is not noticeable in team fights and is far inferior to Jin Chan's immunity to crowd control. No wonder Niu Mo has been forgotten. All of this is characteristic of the official server. Why would he have the potential to become popular in Season 45?

Niu Mo messed up both of the two major markets in the Rift, ranked matches and peak matches. Even if he were to be given a hero, he would probably be ignored. So, in the new season, he was promoted and strengthened by the planners, finally bringing a practical qualitative change.
