Sun Ce's skin usage rate: In the Chinese server, the "Time Traveler" skin is completely ignored, while the "Doomsday Mech" skin wins over the "Groom's Attire" skin.


Sun Ce, who once swept the city and dominated the canyon for years, was feared for his team fight tactics of ramming people with his boat. The moment you heard the echo of the engine in your headphones, you should immediately retreat to the turret to avoid becoming a victim of a car accident. If you get hit by it too many times, you will suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, especially squishy heroes. He will bring two heroes with him to gank you, with multiple controls and concentrated damage. If you are low on health, be prepared to die.

Outdated skill mechanics; easily avoid being hit by a boat.

He had a glorious period, and was almost a must-pick for top laners. His skill mechanics were innovative, and his team fight initiation ability was too strong. However, as time went on, the number of overpowered characters continued to increase. With flying, invincibility, dragon form, time reversal, teleportation and displacement, in a version where control was "blown everywhere", the so-called "ship driving" became more and more transparent. The highly adaptable ordinary players would immediately spread out when they heard the warning, find someone to take the hit, and immediately use control the moment they jumped off the ship and landed, such as stun, freeze, knockback, bind and so on.

After sailing all that way and circling around, it was essentially just feeding kills. A full combo failed to secure a kill, its damage output was severely limited, it couldn't benefit from any version bonuses, its moves were predictable, its threat level was zero, and its presence was mostly limited to pushing lanes and providing crowd control. Its combat power and popularity are far less than before, and it's even less popular than its counterpart, Da Qiao. It's clear that the demand for this skin is extremely low, and there's practically no one calling for its return.

Riding the dragon and tempering the Wu hook

Despite being disliked, loyal fans persist, and Chinese server players support the team's strength. Sun Ce's skins are hard to sell, so what styles are popular in the current version? The Chinese server's Sun Ce player provides the answer: the rare legendary skin, "Time Travel," only ranks third? What's going on?

In the world of Chinese servers, there's no such thing as higher quality equals higher popularity. The Lunar New Year limited editions crush all other releases, which is why they're so popular. "Riding the Dragon and Tempering the Wu Hook" is the star of the Year of the Dragon limited editions. Despite including Zhao Yun and boasting a 60% win rate in KPL matches, it still lost out to this top laner on the bestseller list. Riding a Fiery War Dragon, the element is very seasonal. The dragon's flight speed increases, and the flames on its body grow stronger. When it hits its target, a loud dragon roar is heard, creating a truly immersive atmosphere.
