Honor of Kings: The Joys of the Ordinary, Season 43 Ranked Matches: How to Climb the Ranks Like a Wheelchair: Core Tips


As the rhythm controller and the much-anticipated jungler, who had a smooth start to Season 43 and climbed the ranks without any obstacles? Zhao Yun quickly put up impressive stats. After being criticized for being weak recently, he made a triumphant return after the game update, returning to the T0 tier and becoming stronger with each game. His ranked match stats are hard to ignore. His overall margin for error has increased, and seemingly insignificant details have made him even more formidable on the battlefield.

Jungler: Zhao Yun

Across all skill levels, his pick rate is 12%, and his win rate is 54.7%. In the 1350 peak ranking, his pick rate is 9.2%, and his win rate is 52.17%. In top-tier rankings, his pick rate is 15.6%, and his win rate is 53.3%. This shows that the higher the difficulty level of the match, the stronger his combat power. He can carry the team independently, has no high skill ceiling, and his skill combos are predictable, especially his ultimate's jump that knocks enemies into the air. His smaller skills and pursuit abilities, combined with his accumulated burst damage, make him a veritable harvester, easily taking down squishy targets. He's not as difficult as you might imagine; with good awareness, strategic ambushes, and a cunning playstyle, his KDA will be outstanding.

In terms of equipment, this season it is believed that Bloodthirster and Blade of Despair are more suitable, providing the highest damage reduction and three layers of fault tolerance. Bloodthirster helps to increase the shield value, and Blade of Despair can turn the tide and kill. Although it is all survival equipment, the physical attack bonus is not bad. Finally, the yellow shield supports the dual resistance and health. On the surface, it does not have much attack power, but it is very strong in catching people.

Archer: Hou Yi

Sun Quan's high kill rate is well-known, but his power spike is somewhat awkward, falling in the mid-game. He needs to focus on development in the early game, and his late-game damage is insufficient. His kill numbers are too flashy, and even the test server is preparing to nerf him, so his official release is only a matter of time. Therefore, there's no need to recommend him. Below him, the rising marksman is Hou Yi, with a win rate exceeding 50%. He's been dubbed the "wheelchair-bound marksman," boasting a 34.79% pick rate and 52.29% win rate across all skill levels; in the 1350-level peak match, his pick rate is 17.6% and win rate is 51.32%; and in top-tier ranked matches, his pick rate is 26.1% and win rate is 52.41%.

Solo mode is a bit tough, since it relies on teammates for protection. With a pick rate of nearly 35%, the win rate is also not low, which is unhealthy. If you pick Hou Yi later, the experience will definitely not be bad. Play cautiously and develop your character. Pay attention to your positioning in team fights. Don't use your ultimate skill recklessly. Critical strike build is the way to go.
