T0 support player Shao Siyuan was banned for years, but after escaping the ban phase, he transformed from a nobody to a star.

Heroes have different skill ceilings. Skilled heroes can pull off amazing feats with their superior skills. Your support can turn into an annoying control tool at any time, and the debuffs are a headache. The reason for the tiered distinction is to symbolize strength. Even so, how come a so-called T0 hero can be played terribly in the hands of someone? Is it because the output environment is reversed, or is it just that they happen to encounter a newbie?

In ranked matches, support heroes like Doriya, Cai Wenji, and Yao are often preferred. Their skill mechanics are easy to learn, and occasional spell buffs are sufficient. Skill refreshes allow for mindless healing and shielding upon possession. Vision value seems negligible. The most important thing is to have a keen eye and choose the best teammate to follow. Of course, at the beginning, they will be obedient and stick to the marksman. This is an unspoken rule of the game. Unless they die too many times and cause collateral damage, the support will stray from the path, roam with the team, and continue to die together. They will be reported at any time, and forget about winning a gold medal. The marksman might as well just abandon them.

A low win rate indicates weakness; the ban rate reveals hidden clues.

The support hero is easy to play, popular, and fun. However, upon checking the tier list, I found her ranking quite low. Conversely, the supposedly T0 hero, Shao Si Yuan, seems to have a very low pick rate. Some people, drawn by the novelty, brought her to the game, only to have a poor experience. This leads to preconceived notions and criticisms, with her extremely low win and pick rates being widely attributed to her. Logically, a hero with considerable combat power should be highly sought after, yet the opposite is true: a pick rate of around 10% and a win rate of around 47%. After experiencing this firsthand, I feel the data reports are misleading. The most overlooked aspect is her ban rate.

This philosophical question isn't hard to answer. Imagine in a TV series, a superpowered user who's been imprisoned for a long time—is he so powerful that he's thrown into prison to be restrained, or is he defeated and sealed away because he's no match for the protagonist's plot armor? When a city faces a crisis, the government is forced to recruit these villainous characters to complete a mission. Everyone is very familiar with the story of "Suicide Squad." Using the same principle, how can we collect substantial data to determine the strength of Shao Siyuan, who has no chance to appear or play any games? Her high ban rate reveals that she's a thorn in the side of the players.
