Karolina sun

Is this only in battlegrounds or does the sun appear further and further on the defender's place on the screen as it fades and rises again? I tought it was random wher is appears

The deep dive (as I recall) supports the fact that the sun appears in random locations for Karolina.

What that means in practice isn’t explicitly explained in her description—it mentions the sun appearing in “various locations” and reappearing in a “new location” once it disappears.

While I haven’t had any issue with keeping Karolina in the sunlight, there have been champs in the past with “random” abilities that were actually what I would consider “weighted random” abilities. For example, I seem to recall that the old Sabretooth would generate random furies, but play testing tended to support the position that this ability tended to be weighted toward the lower amount of furies that could be produced.

With that said, I don’t think this is the case with Karolina. To me it appears just “random.”

I don't think it's totally random for Karolina. In my experience the sun always appears within the distance of a single dash forward or backward. So it's weighted to favor you being able to continue her ramp fluidly

It is not random. It's placed to make it easy for the attacker

Fair enough. The specific mechanic isn’t spelled out anywhere I can find. I believe I recall someone making the point you make when she first came out, but I cannot locate it.

I don't remember where I originally heard it from (I think it was in the original livestream with Honeydew.), but DLL mention explains it in his spot light too. Basically it will never spawn very far from the character

The designer of carolina made it like that, the sun shows up in proximity.- DlI stream
