Season 45: The competitive scene boosts the pick rate in casual games. How well do you understand the counter-relationship between Liu Bei and other heroes?

Liu Bei doesn't seem to be mentioned very often. The limited-time coupon shop's gift pack has already tested everyone's reaction. The epic skin includes personalized buttons, and the new product has been the subject of much discussion. People are comparing the cost-effectiveness to see if it's worth redeeming. On Xiaohongshu, many people in the posts and comments section suggest abandoning it and recommending Da Qiao's White Snake skin or 10 Glory Treasure Tickets. The goal is clear, so you can imagine how low his presence is.

No one knew about the adjustment, but there were previous online leaks that even professional players were preparing to practice it. This move shows that Liu Bei is playable and one of the strong jungler options. With his double bullets in melee combat, he can balance burst damage and attrition, and he will definitely not disappoint. If you don't want to play him, it doesn't matter, but at least you can see the counter relationship. With his great potential, he will only frequently appear in front of you in the future.

Advantages: Fits the face well

First, let's talk about the heroes he counters. Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, is incredibly popular in the community, with skins he can't keep up with. Surprisingly, he loses to Liu Bei. This has been the case from the old version to the present. When Liu Bei gets close, his damage is explosive. If Wukong tries to jump and use his staff, he's practically committing suicide. The shield's effectiveness is a classic counter relationship that can't be changed. Second is Pangu. In close combat, it's basically a one-way street. Even high damage can't break Liu Bei's shield. In a one-on-one fight, he has zero chance of winning. Third is Sima Yi. His appearance on the list is quite surprising. His silence effect ultimately loses to Liu Bei's immunity. Whether facing him head-on or attacking from behind, it's useless. His ultimate can be used to escape, but Liu Bei's knockback interrupts his casting. The counter relationship is reasonable. From this, we can understand that junglers who fight in close combat generally can't beat Liu Bei.

Disadvantages: pulling

Putting ourselves in Liu Bei's shoes, who counters him? Who is his nemesis? First, there's Kai's demonic form, which theoretically allows for a head-on confrontation. Due to the attribute bonuses, Kai completely suppresses Liu Bei. His parry mechanism negates some of the bullets, leaving very little damage. Second, there's Ma Chao. The kiting strategy is most effective against Liu Bei. Throwing and sheathing his spear baits out Liu Bei's ultimate, allowing for ranged attacks that Liu Bei can't handle. Third, there's Zhuge Liang. His explosive energy bomb has an absurdly high kill threshold. In chaotic battles, once Liu Bei's health is reduced to a minimum, his ultimate easily finishes him off. Besides, Liu Bei doesn't typically build magic resistance items.
