Counter Hero and Item Hou Yi Honor of Kings
Who's the player Honor of Kings (HOK) Who doesn't know this hero? Yep, this farm lane hero who is often said to be similar to Miya is indeed suitable if we say it as one of the mascots of the MOBA game made by TiMi Studio.
And in this patch (November 2024), the farmer actually got a buff so he was too overpowered (OP). Well if Vicigers Here, there are those who don't understand how to counter it, let's take a look at the review!

Counter items
When talking about this counter hero, the main thing to prioritize is discussing his defense items first. This is useful so that you can easily reduce the effectiveness of the marksman (MM).
Regardless of whether you are a roamer tank who has to provide a 'body', or a fighter whose job is to dive in and kidnap the farmer, by using this counter item, your efforts can be more optimal.
So, in the next match in Hero's Gorge, make sure you immediately make these items if you meet Hou Yi in the farm lane position! Here is a detailed explanation:
1. Spikemail
This item is perfect for countering heroes with physical output with damage per second (DPS) characteristics. Relying on its passive, Spikemail can return the physical DPS that the MM gives!
2. Ominous Premonition
Since Hou Yi is a MM DPS hero, the best way to counter him is of course by reducing his attack speed. Well, the passive of this item is perfect for that purpose: giving a slow effect if attacking its user.
Hero Counters
Well, if you are not sure that you will succeed if you only rely on micro (items), then it is a good idea to include macro as well – which in this case is present in the context of draft picks and hero counters.
If you pilot these heroes correctly, you can be sure that Hou Yi will be helpless! And here are some heroes that you can use if you want to stop the MM farmer's movement:
1. Lanling
For this one assassin, it can be said that he is indeed a counter to all marksmen, especially Hou Yi: Langling! As we know, this hero has a very overpowered ganking ability by disappearing!
If you want to compare with the hero MLBB, Lanling's mechanics are similar to a combination of Hayabusa + Natalia's abilities. It's natural that farmers with low mobility like the MM will be nervous!
2. Li Bai
Once again, a hero with high mobility is the best choice to counter the MM, one of which is Li Bai! This hero with the assassin role is indeed quite scary in the eyes of farmers.
Imagine, with blink skills like Harley, area of effect (AoE) skills similar to Ling + Estes, and Ulti like Suyou's sword slashes, his presence can easily defeat Hou Yi (especially without Flash).
3. Daji
Not to forget, VCGamers also includes the presence of a midlaner who can immediately pick off the MM with one skill combo, namely Daji. This mage is indeed suitable for defeating soft heroes.
With a single target mechanic that looks like Eudora at first glance, this hero is really something Vicigers can rely on to put pressure on the farm lane filled by Hou Yi. Just make sure your combo is successfully delivered!
