The new hero Yu the Great in S42 has received little attention; the significance of his cauldron design remains unclear; and the choice between teleportation and healing remains a challenge.

After a hero has been online for a while, it takes time to develop gameplay and skill combos that adapt to the version. The Yu the Great route is not simple and straightforward. In many cases, using him as a support or a "conjoined twin" playstyle is not very effective. His tank skills are not comprehensive enough. Summoners' perception of him is almost that he just throws a cauldron to heal and teleport. Do you think he is useful in team fights? Absolutely not.

Pain Point 2: The attributes and power of the second skill are ambiguous.

The first skill, the cauldron, is nothing special. So what about the second skill? Players say it's meaningless and frustrating to play. It slows down and speeds up, it's all a mess. The biggest bug is that you have to stand on the cauldron to get super armor. Since you have short range, you get pulled around frequently. The supposed range increase after activation is not noticeable in actual combat.

After a ranked match, the opponent criticized Da Yu for not standing on the cauldron to fight, wasting his skills. Finally, the opponent couldn't help but joke, writing, "Even with super armor, you still die, right?" This was a wake-up call. So what if you gain super armor? Immunity to crowd control doesn't mean immunity to damage. If you're not tanky enough, standing still in team fights will take too much damage. Wouldn't that just be forcing yourself to stand on the cauldron and die instantly? After playing for a while, it feels like an offensive skill, but the role is support, so I really don't understand its meaning.

Pain Point 3: Gaining Invincibility by Standing on the Cauldron

After the ultimate skill lands, the second skill's powerful basic attack can hit 5 units at the same time, which sounds very powerful, but these scenes cannot be captured from the game.

The third pain point still comes down to the skill mechanics themselves. Playing support requires at least having short range to initiate team fights, and even if you don't initiate, you need to learn how to counter-initiate. The most frustrating thing is the low hit rate and long wind-up animation of the ultimate skill. Its advantage is its large range, but its ability to protect allies is only average. Therefore, many players who play Da Yu say they don't feel this deeply. At the beginning of the season, facing skilled players, they need to hurry to climb the ranks, but after a few games, if they can't learn or play well, they are naturally abandoned. Based on this trend, his future presence is unlikely to be high. It's becoming increasingly difficult for new heroes to be promoted and gain widespread popularity; currently, only Shao Si Yuan has received the highest rating.
