In this 2023 Season 3, Paine emerges as the Assassin commanding attention and reclaiming glory upon release. He's a classic Assassin dealing astonishing magical damage.
With numerous annoying crowd control effects, notably silence, Paine dominates early and mid-game phases. Consequently, many gamers use this ace to stealthily roam the enemy jungle or harass opposing Junglers. However, in previous seasons, Paine hasn't enjoyed as much popularity as Nakroth, Zuka, or Wukong, nor has he been able to compete with Keera - another powerhouse Mage Assassin in tournaments.

Surprisingly, right after the release of his new skin, Paine, the Grandmaster of Blades, witnesses a staggering pick rate, accompanied by an equally high ban rate. So, what's the reason behind this? According to numerous reviews, including those from renowned Liên Quân channels on platforms like Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, etc., people speculate that the new skin's effects seem to be quietly buffing this ace.
As we all know, when Paine channels his power to use Soul Cleaver, it leaves a 'warning' mark at his destination, signaling danger for players to retreat and create distance before Paine unleashes his devastating damage. However, with the Grandmaster of Blades skin, this effect appears rather faint, making it extremely hard for us to see and sometimes not even realizing Paine's approach.
Enhanced Skin EffectsEspecially during team fights or in bushes, his ultimate sometimes mysteriously disappears, which is a significant advantage for bloodsuckers and flesh eaters like Paine. Perhaps due to the arrival of this new Liên Quân skin, many gamers have become curious, intrigued, and exploiting this 'buff' for an edge in combat.
According to sources received by Mytour, Paine currently holds the top spot in win rate and overall performance across all three regions: Thailand, Taiwan, and Vietnam. This is perhaps an alarming statistic, partly due to his inherently strong skill set, but largely because of the new Paine skin contributing to a significant increase in these numbers in just over half a month. You can follow the detailed statistics in the table below.
Impressive Win Rate of PaineIn the Vietnamese ranks, from the Expert 4x tier onwards, Paine is often banned or picked. If in the hands of skilled players who know how to dominate and especially how to pressure, Paine can easily end the game within the first 9 minutes.
