Case Analysis: Charlotte fills the gap in the top lane, immune to tanky ambushes, and counters Ma Chao in lane.


After the new version was released, I wonder how everyone's experience ranking up has been? A ton of data processing, win rates and ban rates, then skin sales to increase pick rates, battle pass exclusives, and pro players descending to earth—ranked matches have turned into high-level tournaments, complicated and bewildering. In the chaotic battles, you simply don't know where to start, especially with your main hero, who inexplicably becomes a casualty. Past stellar records suddenly lose their luster, and you miss out on gold medals. It's no wonder the King of Glory community is advising against rushing into matches at the beginning of the season to avoid ruining your hard-earned rating. The experience is poor, and the mood for entertainment has suddenly turned into anger.

No matter what kind of article you read, no matter how long or rambling it is, if it's just about players knowing when to be pragmatic and choosing the right hero, it's worth a hundred times more effort. This time, we'll start with some numbers and get practical, looking at team compositions to choose heroes, providing case studies and the best examples to teach you how to counter others before the game starts.

Top laners should pay attention to the opposing heroes when filling in; Ma Chao isn't difficult to play.

I landed on the fourth floor, filling the top lane. Let's look at our lineup first: support is Da Yu, assassin is Jing, Gan Jiang Mo Xie is in the mid lane, and the marksman instantly picks Yuan Liu Zhi Zi. What information do we get from this? The front line has good control and initiation, and sufficient damage, but other aspects are relatively weak. It seems difficult to choose a warrior. Time is counting down. Now let's look at the enemy lineup: mid lane is Xiao Hu Li Tan Ji, jungle is Miyamoto Musashi, top lane is Ma Chao, and support is Ming Shi Yin. Their roaming positions reveal the key strategy: they definitely plan to play a duo strategy. The marksman will likely fill the top lane, and they will most likely pick a slow-moving marksman, with Hou Yi being the most common, and occasionally Sun Shang Xiang will appear.

Starting from this line of thought, countering Ma Chao becomes quite simple. Charlotte is the most suitable match, possessing both tankiness and control abilities. She is definitely capable of standing and fighting, and her ultimate skill is highly invasive, granting immunity to control effects during its duration. As one of the three sisters of the bushes, her tankiness and control abilities are ineffective here. The others will not be difficult to deal with.

Ma Chao loves to push lanes and develop, and he's faster than Charlotte, so end the game as soon as possible and don't drag it out. Sure enough, our teammate won the silver medal in the top lane, and Gan Jiang and Mo Xie won the silver medal in the mid lane. Only Da Yu had a low rating of 5.3. Our team got 18 kills, while the opponent got 14 kills. The strengths were evenly matched, so it was a narrow victory.
