Joy: The Mobile Mage
If you’re up for a challenge in the midlane, give mage hero Chang’e a try. She deals massive damage in the late game and excels at pushing once she gets her core items. However, she can be difficult to play due to her skill shots. To counter her, choose heroes with high mobility who can dodge her attacks. Here are three heroes to consider:
Joy: The Dancing Mage
Joy is a mage hero who loves to move around. Her quick dashes make it hard for Chang’e to hit her with Meteor Shower and Starmoon Shockwave. Joy’s ultimate, Electrifying Beats, also removes slow immunity, which is useful against Chang’e’s Ice Queen Wand. In the midlane, harass Chang’e and bait her into using Meteor Shower early. Once her ultimate is over, dash towards her and use Electrifying Beats to secure a kill or force her to recall.
Selena: The Elusive Assassin
Selena is another hero with great mobility. While she is more challenging to play than Joy, she is even more effective against Chang’e. Selena can stun Chang’e in place with Abyssal Arrow, making it easier to land kills. If you’re not familiar with Selena, practice her in classic matches before taking her to the midlane. Once you’re comfortable with her skills, facing Chang’e will become an easy matchup.
Lolita: The Tanky Guardian
Although not a mage hero, tank hero Lolita is the best counter to Chang’e. Her second skill, Guardian’s Bulwark, can block Meteor Shower and Starmoon Shockwave. Additionally, she can deal damage based on the absorbed damage by casting Guardian’s Bulwark again. This shield renders Chang’e’s skills useless in team fights. To make it even harder for Chang’e, build Radiant Armor to completely negate her damage. With careful timing and positioning of Guardian’s Bulwark, Chang’e won’t be able to have an impact in the mid to late game. Whenever Chang’e is picked by the enemy team, choose Lolita without hesitation.
Conclusion
If you’re facing Chang’e in the midlane, consider picking Joy, Selena, or Lolita as counters. These heroes have the mobility and skills to dodge Chang’e’s attacks and secure kills. Practice their skills and strategies to make the matchup easier. Good luck!
