In version 13.1, the Superman race has had a huge nerf in the ability to increase damage. So the gameplay of trying to upgrade many champions to 3 stars (reroll) has become a lot weaker, including the Ashe – Superman lineup. Ashe herself was also nerfed directly, so since the beginning of patch 13.1, this squad has almost been “out meta” quite heavily.
However, when version 13.1c was released, the Ashe – Superman lineup suddenly came back strong on the mainland server. Many players in this area have taken advantage of Ashe – Superman to climb the ranks and achieve extremely high efficiency. Even the statistics pages at the server here rated Ashe – Superman as an S-rank (very strong) squad.

The main reason for this return is that Ashe and Superman generals were buffed in the last version. For example, Lee Sin has increased basic armor/magic resistance and the ability to create shields. This makes the front line (Renekton and Lee Sin) extremely strong and helps players keep health much more effective.

In addition, the reroll gameplay is no longer in vogue, making it easier for Ashe – Superman players to upgrade their squad. As a result, the strength threshold of the Ashe – Superman squad will come much earlier than in previous versions. Players can also save a lot of health and gold when using this formation.

In short, the fact that Riot Games increased the power directly to the mainstays helped the Ashe – Superman lineup come back strong. If players need to find a new way to climb the ladder at the moment, Ashe – Superman is a very suitable squad.
