It’s no longer the era of Sun Bin as a dark system in Honor of Kings, Muhammad Rizky Anugrah or known as DMT inyrdrm admits that Guan Yu is a big threat to him in the ranked queue of Honor of Kings, especially in high tiers. Why is that?
Guan Yu himself does not have a high playerbase in Honor of Kings, and is even difficult to find when you play in all tiers of the ranked match game made by Level Infinite. However, if you look at the skillset and easy counter methods against Guan Yu, it seems that this clash laner hero is indeed the lowest tier for now.
Touted as a hero with the highest level of difficulty, Guan Yu himself is a hero who is easy to counter, especially for those of you who have reached a high rank in Grandmaster and above. Moreover, not only the stun effect, the slow effect can also stop The Defied Warrior (Passive) from Guan Yu, namely without having to be afraid of being hit and scattered during teamfights.
Moreover, Guan Yu is also easy to guess if he uses Soaring Green Dragon (2) or Razor Cavalry (Ultimate), where you only need to provide a little crowd control so that Guan Yu cannot use his passive to hit your teammates.
Apart from that, Guan Yu also has a build that is not too tanky for lane clashes, and does not even have high damage output. So Guan Yu becomes a punching bag for high tier lane clashes such as Allain, Mayene, or Biron who have crowd control that is just slow to make Guan Yu helpless.
DMT inyrdrm has prepared himself for Week 2, or until the Playoffs at the HOK ID Championship 2024 Qualifier. However, that does not mean that he will debut in the near future in the Honor of Kings esports scene, considering that he wants to find a worthy opponent in a match that is very likely to threaten Dominator Esports.
