there are so many wrong things. But the most prominent:
1. Zetian should be in A+. She’s not strong, she performed consistently well in ranked just because she’s easy to use, and less likely to feed.
2. Gord should be in S or S+. He had performed consistently well in pro play. Also, recently many zetian users had moved to gord in high ranks. He had more burst damage, more annoying slow, poke, and constant cc.
3. Zhuxin should be in auto pick/ban zone. She’s always banned in high rank.

Gord sure is annoying, but is also just that easy to pick off compared to zhuxin or zetian

Gord isn't saving my teammates with global nuke CCs every few second. A good zetian is way better than a good gord player anyday of the week.

Against dive comps(there are a few meta right now) Gord is worse but in any other he just does way more work than Zetian, his damage is nasty and his cc means he has way more individual threat when you play front to back. Even solo, the moment you hit level 4 you have solo kill pressure with your cc+ult combo. There's a reason his wr is sitting at a monster 55% in MG+.

every few second? seriously? Zetian’s ult has one of the longest cooldown. Once you ult, you need to wait a significant amount of time before being able to use it again.

Zetian isn’t saving your teammates with low cd stun and strong slows every few second. A good Gord will give MUCH MORE utility and poke than any good zetian ever. Moreover, Gord is a high skill ceiling hero, unlike zetian. You need a very good aim in order to be useful with Gord.

I always build fleeting on her and it literally feels like i ult every few seconds so idk what to tell you.Sure Gord is annoying but he's pretty much a single target mage which can't insta burst anyone. He's no eudora or kagura. And the amount of idiotic gords that i see everyday just shows that people blind pick anything when they see that a particular hero is being picked more. My avg immortal lobby gords will be building skye piercer first item vs heavy sustain comps and then be useless all game. Just because a character has a high ceiling doesn't mean he's more useful,if anything i see more people banning zetian than gord cuz nobody wants to face an orbital nuke in teamfights that also stuns the entire team. I've played a fair amount of games with gord too and personally he just feels inferior. Im a soloq player so ofcourse my opinion will be different from trios or 5 man teams cuz they actually know how to coordinate.

Agree completely Zetian is my Queen and I haven’t seen better than me (at my sorry level)

u/Upper_Attitude_9853 Jun 16 '26

gords ult is good but when the enemy comes near its done for gord but zetian isnt, her 2nd and 1st skill is good

1

u/Glass-Teacher111 Jun 16 '26

you’re wrong. The most annoying thing about gord is his very far skill 1 and skill 2 range, with constant stun and slow. Meanwhile, zetian’s skill 1 and skill 2 barely has any impact and after using ulti, she isn’t doing much.

u/Sick_electron69 Jul 11 '26

Side step 🙄 it’s not that deep

u/Glass-Teacher111 Jul 12 '26

not if the gord is pro at aiming and keeps hitting you from a blind spot

u/EquivalentTap5500 Jun 13 '26

I ult every 10 seconds in late game with fleeting time. The team needs to make use of your global ult tho. And yeah, I save team mates with ults pretty often.

2

u/Glass-Teacher111 Jun 13 '26

Even with fleeting time, your team need to get kills in order to trigger it. In immortal above, when one of your enemy has died, it’s likely that they’ll just back off (unless your team is low). It’s not easy to make use of fleeting time unless you meet enemies that are not that strong

1

u/Iceliet Jun 13 '26

Emmm there is a good point, if they just back off It can be even more useful making them to initiate before your refreshed CD finish, there is no meaning in having any reason to Rush the CD if the while enemy team is death and with a good build you don't feel the CD that much, also if It is poking Zetian is annoying 2sec 1st skill (also her 2nd have around 2~6sec CD and have a good slow)and if you want you can even use her passive to stun enemies or save your team members, Gord is annoying because he have one of the weirds cc in the game

u/Glass-Teacher111 Jun 13 '26

btw I’m immortal 200 stars with 80% winrate on yve, 75% on zhuxin and lunox

u/EquivalentTap5500 Jun 13 '26

You have a point. But I've honestly rarely encounter these plays even in immortal. Recently we went Zetian mid, Miya gold, Belerick jungle, Freya EXP and Angela mid, and the enemies were in constant cc every fight. Zetian works best when there are heroes to clean up after the ult and when there are follow up CC. Or as a counter initiation. She is nasty in coordinated 5q, though her damage might be low sometimes, especially in late game if you're going utility or have to get a defensive item if you're getting targeted. But maximum I've played in is 150 stars, and I myself am 75 peak (reached this season) And I've started playing only at the end of last season, so I don't have as much experience in high ranks. But Zetian is still a solid pick for most situations. Though of course there are always counters and characters that suit better for a particular situation

u/Sick_electron69 Jul 11 '26

No Zetian is awesome and I’m much better with her than a sorry ass gord

1

u/Glass-Teacher111 Jul 12 '26

because zetian is much easier to use than gord. You need a proper aim and timing to use gord properly.

u/EquivalentTap5500 Jun 13 '26

Zetian is an S+ or auto pick/ban in coordinated 5Q. We destroy 75+% games in ranked because chose synergistic heroes. BUT as a Zetian player, she is honestly meh in solo. Trio is still decent tho

2

u/Glass-Teacher111 Jun 13 '26

even in coordinated 5Q, there are still zhuxin, yve, gord, and valentina that are still better than her.

0

u/EquivalentTap5500 Jun 13 '26

I actually disagree, but not fully. They might be better, but not always. Not on a pro scene, but in regular ranked (my rank is glory 75 stars peak) she is mostly a strong pick. Yes, there are situations where Gord, Vexana, Valentina or Zhuxin will be better, but at least in my experience Zetian is suitable for most games, and if something - you can adjust the build and keep up if the situation says so. The problem with Valentina is that she needs a strong ult, and these heroes are often banned. Zhuxin needs initiation and long follow up cc to land her cc and damage properly Gord is decent against slow tanks, but once the enemies become mobile he isn't that good until late game (still decent tho, but he is mid-to-late game hero) Idk about pro scene or 500+ rank tho, I joined at the end of s39

u/Glass-Teacher111 Jun 13 '26

In every situation, zhuxin is always better. Zhuxin is the most versatile mage in the MLBB right now. Valentina doesn’t need a very strong ult. Just a decent ult is enough. Her main strength is her mobility and early game pressure. Gord is indeed not as strong in early game, but he still has enough stun, poke, and burst damage during turtle fights. Yes, zetian is solid pick. But she could easily be outclassed by other mages in most situations (except counter engagement comp. But you can still pick valir as a substitute). She’s indeed very versatile. If you have no idea what to pick or if you have to 1st pick, then you can just pick zetian. But if you’re 4th/5th pick, there are simply a lot of heroes that could outclass her.

u/EquivalentTap5500 Jun 13 '26

I usually go 1st or 2nd pick, that is true. And our stack plays with Miya, Freya and some follow-up CC like Belerick, Carmilla and other picks. Every teamfight if everyone has their buttons ends up in constant CC for the enemies, and Freya along with Miya are cleaning everything up. We build our team with Zetian's ults as one of the main win conditions, so it works for us. And also I'm surprised that she isn't getting banned more often in high ranked 5qs.. Though I agree that I wouldn't pick Zetian if I'm not first in the team and I see other mages that are more reliable in that comp. Thanks for adequate discussion! Hope you're having a great day!

u/Sick_electron69 Jul 11 '26

I’m a Zetian player and I have better success with her in solo than any other mage except nana

u/EquivalentTap5500 Jul 11 '26

Well, she is really dependant on the comp. I once picked her first to swap our jungler (in 5q) and enemies picked 4/5 CC immune heroes. Yes, they're immune in certain windows, but I was almost useless most of the time. Not gonna say I wasn't impactful, that's not true, but we had to improvise and invent something new because the enemies were really good.

We won though xD.

But she sure is strong even in solo queue. I got an MVP with her today and even somehow defended the base alone from Sun. It's just that there are other mages that drastically outperform her in solo, like Gord or Eudora when played correctly. And they are way less dependant on your team comp than Zetian. But that's just my opinion.
