Change your habit of clicking to help others steal kills; the top lane warrior who shouldn't be on the first floor is overconfident and will be utterly crushed. (II)

Lu Bu's simple ultimate is easily countered and can be locked in place. If replaced by a warrior with continuous crowd control, who can fight on horseback and announce their presence to the world, do you think the opposing five players will let him off easily? Guan Yu, as a strong hero in this version, has been nerfed once, but his status has not declined significantly. He is still popular in high-level games and has a high priority.

Guan Yu

Guan Yu's performance is extreme, as everyone knows. A skilled player can use his kicks to control the battlefield, create separation lines, and relentlessly charge into squishy targets, landing a single blow. A novice, however, can easily charge in and his ultimate is useless; even two cleanses won't save him. His counters are ridiculously numerous. If you dare to pick him, he'll likely be targeted in the top lane. Even if you stay under your turret, the opponent will come knocking. After ten minutes, the laning phase is over, team fights are frequent, and his vulnerability to crowd control remains unchanged. With slows, stuns, immunity, knockbacks, and knock-ups, who can Guan Yu possibly duel? Imagine a top laner picking Sikong Zhen, a mid laner picking Shiranui Mai, a support Yao, and a marksman Ao Yin – your choices are essentially helping the enemy pre-select their lineup, focusing solely on split-pushing without participating in team fights. Do you want to see this scenario? While he's strong, being countered is another matter. The earlier you pick him, the harder it is to win. A first-pick Guan Yu exposes his weaknesses, and his teammates don't know how to help him.

Nezha

Nezha's appearance on the list is quite surprising. There's no way around it; the first pick is equivalent to passing the teleportation strategy to the opponent. After the avatar appears, everyone gets the message that low-health enemies will fly over to reap kills, and lone marksmen will be targeted. Nezha is more threatening than Lu Bu, so naturally, they will defend well, protect the carry, and let the game revolve around him. Supports are easy to deal with, and they will almost certainly pick Zhang Liang or Donghuang Taiyi to suppress him in place, ensuring that squishy heroes cannot be harassed.

Against Nezha, the opponent won't be foolish enough to just pick a slow, unresponsive character and take hits. Yu Ji has an invulnerability card, immune to physical damage, and can use Ao Yin in a dragon form, flying into the sky and becoming untargetable. Nezha isn't the only one in the world who can fly, so choosing Nezha on the first floor is definitely not a wise choice. The opposing hero could be changed to Mi Yue, and the game would become a true lane-pushing and tower-pushing game.
