Lancelot, once a beloved assassin hero in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, is facing a different fate at the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Invitational 2023 (MPLI 2023). In the group stage’s first day, Lancelot was only chosen twice out of 12 games, resulting in both losses.
The prevailing tank jungler meta and the rising prominence of Joy and Nolan in the current meta have contributed to the decreased usage of this once-popular hero. However, ECHO jungler Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno believes that Lancelot can still be viable if certain conditions are met during the game.
According to KarlTzy, securing the first Turtle is crucial for Lancelot to snowball and remain effective throughout the match. Without this objective, Lancelot’s impact diminishes significantly. Additionally, he suggests adjusting Lancelot’s build based on the enemy’s lineup. If they have a squishy composition, a damage build is recommended, while a tank build is more suitable against tanky opponents.
KarlTzy also emphasizes the importance of practicing Lancelot before using him in ranked games. He advises players to prioritize accuracy over speed when using Lancelot’s dash ability and to focus on farming before engaging in team fights.
In conclusion, while Lancelot’s popularity may have waned in MPLI 2023, KarlTzy believes that the hero can still be strong if players adhere to these strategies and adapt to the current meta.
