Is Wang Wei severely underrated? Ignored across all skill levels, yet he boasts the highest win rate in late-game high-level matches. (Part Two)

The main character is clearly mid lane, so why are they talking about top lane? The new character mechanics are constantly evolving. Hainuo, for example, ended up being relegated to top lane. The semi-tank magic damage build has increased the playability, while mid laners, who need resources to farm, always feel frustrated. When they roam to support, their gold is stolen, and they stay in lane farming without getting assists. Junglers, marksmen, and warriors all come to steal their minions. I really can't guess whether the new character Wang Wei will be forcibly pulled into another position to find his own place in the game.

Late-game win rate is the highest among all mages

Fortunately, data from the King of Glory website confirms that he is suitable for the mid lane. His early-game win rate is around 53.72%, ranking fifth in the mid lane. In the mid-game, his win rate drops to 52.28%, ranking fourth in the mid lane. In the late game, his win rate rises to 54.77%, which ranks first in the mid lane. It can be seen that he has no disadvantage period. So why is he not valued?

The early-game weakness is considered a major flaw by many mid-laners, so let's discuss it across all skill levels. The combination of two small skills—tank's heart stun, Xiao Qiao's fan-blowing attack, Wang Zhaojun's freeze, and then the third skill—can instantly reduce a player's health by more than half. Angela's fireball burns, making it incredibly powerful, capable of instantly killing assassins and tanks without hesitation. If it were Wang Wei, the most obvious scenario would be him using Tai Chi to summon mist, gathering and knocking up monsters. Before the mid-game, two attacks wouldn't even kill minions. The so-called "poke" strategy, to put it bluntly, is practically scratching the surface. With an 8.2% pick rate across all skill levels, do you consider that unpopular?

Short ultimate skill cooldown, half-map movement

Leaving aside the arduous development period, let's delve directly into how this newly promoted mage surpasses all other mages in the late game and reaches the pinnacle. First, there's his most practical ultimate skill. Mid-laners are busy accumulating massive damage, and the final move is a fatal strike. Participating in team fights requires him to be a follower, developing alongside everyone, sharing gold, and getting absorbed in fighting while forgetting about defense. Mages are not allowed to leave, putting them in a dilemma unless there's a teleportation mechanism. However, Wang Wei's ultimate skill transforms into a divine artifact, allowing him to traverse half the map in just 6 seconds. While his support efficiency is not as good as Nuwa's, the bushes and jungle areas he passes through will expose his vision. Whether to return to his original position or silently land behind the enemy to ambush them and form an encirclement, you have to decide within those 6 seconds.
