It has been more than seven years since the open beta of Honor of Kings, and more than 100 heroes have been launched at present, and basically one or two new heroes will be launched every season. And among these heroes, the most controversial is Yao. Although Yao is simple to operate, but in the hands of different people, there are great differences, and in the last few versions, Yao's ban rate is also high, the current Yao ban rate is still as high as 42.9%, so why is Yao's ban rate so high? Are players so afraid of Yao? The elf thinks that there are two main reasons:
First of all, Yao, as a support hero, often double-rows with jungler or shooter heroes. This combination can affect the gaming experience of teammates to a certain extent, especially if you fail to play to your strengths, which can lead to a difficult situation for the team. What makes some players even more dissatisfied is that some Yao players are reluctant to change their strategy even if the effect is not good, but insist on following their double-row teammates, which will put the other three teammates at a disadvantage in team battles.
Secondly, Yao may not be strong in some lineups. Although Yao can play a certain role in some multi-control lineups, many times, Yao players only exist as a pendant in the game, and sometimes they are even reluctant to release basic skills, let alone perform operations such as brushing shields, blocking skills, and exploring vision. Although Yao's operation is not complicated, it still requires a certain amount of operational skills and awareness to make the most of it.
However, it is worth noting that Yao's high ban rate has not always been the case. After certain version updates or changes to the game environment, Yao's performance may vary. For example, in some seasons, Yao's all-rank win rate even surpassed Sun Bin's, and the appearance rate was also far ahead. This may be related to factors such as changes to the support loadout, changes to the lane intersection mechanic, and the phases between heroes. In these situations, Yao's shields and protection abilities are put to better use, improving her performance in the game.
To sum up, Yao's high ban rate is not only related to his hero characteristics, but also affected by various factors such as player operations, game environment, and version updates. Therefore, when choosing whether to ban Yao, players need to consider comprehensively according to the current game environment and team strategy.
But then again, Yao's skin is still very good-looking, and it's no wonder that many players like Yao so much. In other words, friends, will you choose Ban Yao in the ranking? Welcome to leave a message to discuss!
