Charlotte never sits on the sidelines in the KPL arena. How did she become the chosen one among professional players? (Part 2)


Charlotte discourages casual players from playing her because her mechanics are unappealing. Their definition of "satisfaction" differs from that of professional players. The former enjoys killing helpless opponents, while the latter prioritizes the overall game and winning is the ultimate goal. Regardless of the trade-off between kiting and burst damage, this warrior has high laning strength. Even in a 1v1 against Sikong Zhen, she is never inferior. He has mixed physical and magical damage, and Charlotte also has double damage reduction. As long as she earns money, she can play a role. She has sustain and is semi-tanky, so her characteristics are not particularly distinct. However, she is good at all-around attributes and is suitable for various lineups.

The second point to discuss is the dramatic drop in popularity. Compared to Charlotte, her popularity in the peak tournament is relatively high, close to 10%, but in professional matches it has reached 33%. This difference is hard to ignore. Players have strict requirements for heroes, so how did she become one of the favorites? She has strong resilience and can be played as both a warrior and a tank. In the old version, she was more inclined to be a warrior, but now she has begun to transition into a tank. She can withstand damage and deal damage, mainly using basic attacks and using skills as a supplement. She has no obvious counters, can generate shields, and can attack and heal. When played in the top lane, she is durable in the front line of team fights, and can create a wide output space even when not playing as a support.

Since the role isn't focused on damage output, control is left to the backline. The role is to absorb damage, making it easier to nurture the jungle carry. Resources are limited, forcing the mid laner to become a utility role, while the top laner is busy farming. If you were to pair Charlotte with her, who would get the gold priority? Crazy Drop doesn't have this problem. She's a versatile tank, letting the jungle carry give her gold, and the support jungler roams with her. For a coach, this is very practical.
