Current Meta Report — What's Actually Winning on Global Right Now

By HOKMeta · Published 2026-01-15 · Updated 2026-08-07

The State of the Meta: Tank + ADC

The current meta on HOK Global favors tanky frontlines and consistent DPS. Assassins are strong but inconsistent — a fed Ying wins games, but a behind Ying loses them harder than any other role.

The most successful team compositions right now are:
• One tank (Dun, Lapulapu, Sakeer)
• One ADC (Marco Polo, Meng Ya, Luban No.7)
• One mage (Angela, Daji, Wang Zhaojun)
• One jungler (Ying, Liu Bei, Zilong)
• One flex (usually a second tank or a second damage dealer)

Compositions with two ADCs or two assassins consistently underperform. The game is won by the team whose ADC lives longer — and two ADCs means neither gets enough peel.

Overrated Champions (Stop Blind Picking These)

Han Xin — Yes, he's S tier in the right hands. But his win rate in Diamond and below is 46%. Unless you have 100+ games on him, you're actively hurting your team by picking him.

Zilong (ADC) — Decent but outclassed. Marco Polo and Meng Ya do everything Zilong does but better. Only pick Zilong ADC if Marco and Meng Ya are banned.

Arthur — Fine for beginners, but in Diamond+, he's a liability. He doesn't do enough damage to threaten carries and isn't tanky enough to frontline against coordinated teams.

Underrated Champions (Free LP)

Athena — Her win rate is higher than her pick rate suggests. Players avoid her because she's "hard," but her kit is overloaded with utility. Learn her and climb.

Sakeer — Highest win rate support. Always available because nobody bans supports. Free LP if you can play him.

Liu Bei — Everyone wants to play early-game junglers. Liu Bei outscales all of them. If you can survive the first 8 minutes, you win.

Data note

Stats from Camp HOK international ranked (synced 2026-08-07), cross-checked against HoKStats.gg builds and counters. 国服 (王者荣耀) runs on a faster patch cycle with a larger hero pool and different ban culture — use CN guides for mechanics and combos, but draft off global win/pick/ban numbers on this site.
