Hero strength is one thing, player evaluation is another, a soft support with a high appearance rate does not mean that the soft support is well received, and you like to use it, but the players never express that they want you to use it.


King of Glory, this e-sports game, five positions, tank, assassin, mage, shooter and support. The most difficult position to play is the assassin, the most players are rushing to use the mage, the least people want to play against the road warriors, the most likely to be targeted is the shooter, and the support is the most discussed position.

Support heroes are divided into two types, one is soft support and the other is hard support. In other words, hard support is the support of the tank's meat shield, soft support is low defense, high functional support, soft support In the game, it is often more popular than the hard assistant, and the appearance rate is many percentage points higher. Since the appearance rate is high, does that mean that the soft assistant is more powerful than the hard assistant? Hero strength is one thing, player evaluation is another, a soft support with a high appearance rate does not mean that the soft support is well received, and you like to use it, but the players never express that they want you to use it.

Insignificant soft assistant

On the contrary, in the game, those so-called "popular soft assistants" have no status at all, and players still hate soft assistants. Players who choose soft assistants usually need to take the blame, shooters are killed, rely on assistants; assassins are countered, rely on assistants; mages are pressed in the early stage, rely on assistants. As for the treatment of hard assistants, there is a world of difference. Everyone likes you, so why would you target them? Seeing that you have chosen a assistant, your mentality is a little better, and you think the game is won.

This phenomenon occurs in the game, mainly because the players are preconceived, thinking that the soft support is inherently weaker than the hard support, and the defense is low, that is, it cannot defend the tower, nor can it resist damage. What's the use. Maybe those players are not familiar with support positions, and feel that "the output is too big", the only way to strengthen the lineup is to choose a hard support hero and protect the output with a meat shield to win the game.

More features than you, why hate me?

As the name suggests, the hard-assistant is naturally tough enough to resist damage. Besides that, what else can you say? hardly. To objectively analyze the auxiliary functions, in fact, the soft auxiliary functions have more functions, and the ability is more powerful than the hard auxiliary. Acceleration, blood recovery, shield, vision, control, etc., soft support specifically provides such effect bonuses, but hard support cannot.

From this, it can be seen that the soft auxiliary has more uses, the upper limit is higher, and the effect is greater. Why has the soft auxiliary in the game become a sinner through the ages? Why do people hate soft support more than hard support? because of the visual difference.
