Is Wang Wei severely underrated? Ignored across all skill levels, yet he tops the win rate charts in high-level games during the late game. (Part Three)


Wang Wei's ultimate skill is his core ability. With its cooldown significantly reduced in the late game, it greatly improves support efficiency, allowing him to leap over walls and rush to team fight positions, forming an encirclement. Don't mistake it for a movement skill; upon landing, it deals explosive damage, creating a fog area that deals continuous damage and locks onto enemies. Like a fire at the city gate, it affects innocent bystanders. Even if not targeted by Wang Wei, anyone in the surrounding environment will have to endure the blinding poison gas. The damage is sufficient to instantly kill top-tier characters.


The design of Wang Wei's ultimate skill is quite fitting for Ao Yin's dragon form. He cannot be targeted during the casting period. Of course, there is a physical body remaining in place, which is a concern. He should ensure the surroundings are safe before his soul leaves his body. Wang Wei also has an evasion passive. The survival mechanism of mages often relies on equipment such as the Moonstone and Resurrection Armor to make mistakes and immunize against key damage. Wang Wei is fragile. In a fight, you will find that his health is almost the same as Agudo's. When he enters a team fight with his ultimate skill, in the chaos, he really resembles Lu Bu. You want to control the field but die on the spot. So this passive skill absorbs some of the damage for you, while also causing crowd control and area damage. It controls and gathers enemies, making it very functional in the late game. Ultimately, it still depends on the timing. Evasion is not immunity. As a mage, he is a fragile character.


Gameplay Logic


It's hard to change one's nature; he's a true late-game hero. Won't his early-game weakness discourage summoners? It depends on how you transition. His ultimate is useful, but don't use it lightly in the first four minutes of the game, as the cooldown is long. Even if you land and cause a devastating impact, you might not actually kill anyone. Use it as a support mobility skill to flank your teammates. Pay attention to the jungler's movements. Even with the artifact's immunity, your main body can still be attacked. Generally, you don't need to travel physically; just stay in the bushes around the turrets and move there.


Compared to the early and late game, the weakest period is the awkward mid-game. Damage is insufficient, and control is lackluster. The same advice applies: focus on stable development, avoid initiating fights, and in the late game, follow your teammates' rhythm, pay attention to your positioning, and don't land too hastily in your artifact form. Frequently use your first and second skills to harass and close the distance. Once you reach a point, look for opportunities to finish off weakened enemies or block their retreat routes. In unfavorable situations, use these skills to scout vision and reduce the risk of taking down objectives like Dragon. The key logic is: remember, never initiate fights!
