MLBB Draft Pick Simulator

vs

Draft Modes Explained

The MLBBHub draft simulator ships with six different modes. Each mirrors a real Mobile Legends draft scenario, from solo queue ranked and a practice match against an AI opponent through MPL tournament format to free-form theorycrafting.

Standard

Ranked-style solo practice

Practice the full pick/ban flow on your own: 10 bans (5 per team), then 10 picks in a snake order. Both sides can ban the same hero here, the way ranked's blind ban wave allows. A single-player approximation of ranked drafting, not a step-by-step copy of the in-game lobby.

MPL / Pro

Tournament-style mid-draft bans

A tournament-style interleaved flow: 3 bans, 3 picks, 2 more bans, then 2 final picks per side. The mid-draft ban window opens up the counter-picking that longer ban phases allow. A practice approximation, not an exact tournament ruleset.

Practice vs AI

Draft against an AI opponent

Pick your side, choose Easy, Medium, or Hard, and draft against a bot that bans and picks for the other team. The AI ranks heroes by real counter matchups and meta win/ban rates, so higher difficulties actively counter your picks. The enemy's turns resolve in about a second, so you practice more and wait less.

Free

No order, pure theorycrafting

Drop any hero into any slot for either side. Great for testing dream teams, counter-comp ideas, or specific 5-man strategies without being locked into a fixed sequence.

AI Assistant

Recommendations as you draft

Live counter and synergy suggestions while you pick. The assistant ranks heroes by matchup data against the enemy draft, helping less experienced players learn the why behind each pick.

Strategy Planner

Map-level rotations and macro plans

Once a draft is locked, hand it off to the strategy planner to draw lane assignments, rotations, jungle invades, and objective timings on the actual MLBB map. Saves as a shareable image.

How to Use the MLBB Draft Simulator

1. Choose Your Mode

Select Standard mode to practice a ranked-style 10-ban, 10-pick snake draft, or MPL mode for a tournament-style interleaved flow. Choose Free mode to place heroes anywhere for theorycrafting and team composition experimentation.

2. Configure Timer

Toggle between Timed mode with 30 seconds per pick (similar to ranked) or Relaxed mode to practice at your own pace without time pressure.

3. Start the Draft

Pick First or Second for the Blue side, then press Start. By default Blue leads: Blue bans 3, Red bans 3, Blue bans 2, Red bans 2, then both sides snake-pick. Choose Second Pick to hand the lead to Red.

4. Select Heroes

Click or drag heroes from the hero pool to ban or pick them. Use role filters (Tank, Fighter, Assassin, Mage, Marksman, Support) to quickly find the heroes you need.

5. Analyze Composition

Monitor your team's role balance, damage composition (physical vs magical), and missing roles in real-time as you draft. Build a balanced team to counter the enemy.

Frequently Asked Questions

1
What is the MLBB draft order in ranked?

In live ranked (Epic and above) both teams ban blind at the same time: you do not see the enemy's bans until the wave is revealed. Each side bans 3 at Epic, 4 at Legend and 5 at Mythic, and at Mythic those arrive in two waves (3, revealed, then 2 more). Picks then run in a snake order: Blue 1, Red 1-2, Blue 2-3, Red 3-4, Blue 4-5, Red 5. This simulator keeps that pick order and the same 10 bans, but resolves the bans one side at a time instead of simultaneously, because here a single player drafts both sides. Because ranked bans are blind, both sides can still ban the same hero and waste one of the two, so the simulator allows that too and marks a hero the other side has already banned. Blue leads by default; choose Second Pick before you start to let Red lead instead.

2
How is MPL tournament draft different from ranked?

MPL mode uses a tournament-style interleaved flow: 3 bans per side, 3 picks each (snake), 2 more bans per side, then 2 final picks each. The mid-draft ban window opens up counter-picking that a single ban phase does not. Tournament bans are also sequential and open rather than blind, so unlike ranked no hero can be banned twice. Like Standard, it is a single-player practice approximation rather than an exact copy of any one tournament ruleset. Select the MPL tab and choose First or Second Pick to try it.

3
What is the ideal team composition in Mobile Legends?

A balanced MLBB team typically includes: 1 Tank or Support (roamer), 1 Marksman (gold lane), 1 Mage (mid lane), 1 Fighter (EXP lane), and 1 Assassin or second Fighter (jungler). Balance physical and magical damage to prevent enemies from counter-building with single defense items.

4
How do I counter-pick in MLBB draft?

Watch the enemy's picks and select heroes that counter their composition. For example, pick Khufra against dash-heavy assassins, Esmeralda against shield-dependent heroes, or Diggie against CC-heavy teams. Use our Counter Picker tool for detailed matchup analysis.

5
Can I practice drafting against an AI opponent?

Yes. The Practice vs AI mode lets you pick your side (Blue or Red) and a difficulty (Easy, Medium, or Hard), then drafts the enemy team for you. The bot scores heroes with the same engine that powers the suggestions panel: real counter matchups plus current win, ban, and pick rates. On Hard it hunts the strongest counters to your picks and denies meta heroes; on Easy it fills roles and plays the meta without ever hunting your counters. The enemy's ban and pick turns resolve in about a second, and you keep the full timer on your own turns.

6

Yes, the MLBBHub MLBB draft simulator is completely free with no account required. Practice as many draft picks as you want with all 120+ heroes available. We also offer an MPL mode and a Smart Draft Assistant with AI-powered recommendations.
