The saying "Once you fall into the 'pesticide' pit, it's as deep as the sea" is really quite accurate. Fooled by Tencent's gimmicks, I spend all day saving gold to buy heroes, one after another. But the reality is harsh. There are many heroes that, once you buy them, you find out they're not all they're cracked up to be. Let's take a look at which heroes people regret buying!

[Hua Mulan]

Speaking for myself, the hero I regret most is definitely Hua Mulan. I watched helplessly as this hero was nerfed step by step into the ground.

Back when Hua Mulan could deal thirteen slashes in three seconds, I hadn't started playing yet. The first time I started, the newly reworked Hua Mulan had just launched, and the gimmick of "the first dual-form hero" was hyped to the skies. When I played ranked matches, I discovered, holy crap, her heavy sword second skill could push you until you couldn't take care of yourself. Later, Tencent saw that everyone had bought her, and said, alright, let's "slightly" adjust this hero's strength.

It was absolutely lethal with every cut. Although the current Hua Mulan is still playable, one moment of carelessness and you crash into a wall, and once you're on the back foot, you're as fragile as paper. Playing Hua Mulan isn't what I regret; what I regret is buying her and then watching her get nerfed over and over again.

[Guan Yu]

Second on the list is Lord Guan, Guan Yu. Guan Yu is an extremely strong hero in the current meta, provided you know how to play him. In the vast majority of casual matches, Guan Yu usually plays the role of the team's weak link, pushing away low-health enemies in every way possible, feeding kills in every way possible.

The key thing is, Guan Yu rides a horse, so he feeds kills especially fast. Others walk over step by step, but Guan Yu rides his horse out to feed. In the same amount of time, others can feed three kills, but Guan Yu can feed five.

Most people who play Guan Yu have a mysterious overconfidence. You often see this situation: a group of enemies is there, Guan Yu charges in with his ultimate, the enemies are at half health or low health, and then Guan Yu gets killed by them.

One last thing: Guan Yu is not a tank. Even if you build him full tank, he still can't withstand explosive damage output. Don't be too confident.

[Jiang Ziya]

Jiang Taigong's first and second skills deal low damage. In this meta where everyone and their dog has dash abilities, his fully-charged ultimate can barely hit anyone, and his damage output relies entirely on Flash. His only strength is clearing minion waves. If he dares to leave the tower and gets caught, he's dead. There are professional players who pick Jiang Ziya too; that's a strategy. It's for the whole team's experience, to level up faster, not because Jiang Ziya deals high damage.

Some netizens even forcefully suggested that Jiang Ziya should just AFK at the fountain, giving teammates experience and quietly waiting for the late game, then ulting from the fountain to one-shot squishies. Truly a tale of bitter tears!

[Luna and Li Bai]

Why talk about Luna and Li Bai together?

These two heroes have extremely high skill requirements. The simple requirement of not breaking your ultimate chain is hard for beginners to accomplish, and once you break it, you're basically useless. The other is a hero with an enormous gap between skill floor and ceiling: an expert kills one person every ten steps and travels a thousand miles without a trace, while a noob gets killed every ten steps and feeds kills a thousand miles away. For many newbies, buying them is guaranteed regret!

[Han Xin]

The last spot must go to Han Xin. A hero that costs 201 draws and over 10,000 diamonds to obtain, yet you can only play him in casual modes. He runs faster than anyone, and catching him is impossible. Sometimes he's more fragile than a marksman, can't beat marksmen, can't beat mages, and can only bully jungle monsters in the jungle.

I wonder if any of you have heroes you regret buying?
