MLBB Tier List

Yes. The meta shifts significantly between rank brackets. In Epic and Legend, heroes with simple kits dominate. In Mythic, mechanically demanding assassins and roam initiators gain value. In Mythical Honor and Glory, draft-dependent flexible heroes are prioritized. Use the rank filter to re-rank the tier grid for your specific rank. The written answers and lane rankings below follow that filter with it.

The tier list refreshes daily from the live ranked snapshot and reflects the past seven days of ranked match data. Major re-rankings happen after each new patch when hero balance changes take effect.

The top junglers in Season 42, across all ranks, are Aulus, Hirara, Lukas. Jungle rewards fast clear speed, map awareness, and the timing to turn a cleared camp into a gank or an objective. Pick a burst assassin when the enemy drafts squishy carries you can delete on sight, or a durable jungler when your team needs someone who can start fights and survive the follow-up. Hirara carries the highest ban rate in this lane at 68.2%, so expect that pick to be contested or removed in the draft.

The strongest EXP lane heroes in Season 42, across all ranks, are Aulus, Masha, Argus. EXP lane rewards durable fighters and tanks that can contest early waves, rotate to Turtle fights, and hold side-lane pressure without constant help. Draft a sustain bruiser when you want to solo-carry the side lane, or a tanky initiator when your team lacks a reliable frontline. Gloo carries the highest ban rate in this lane at 38.9%, so expect that pick to be contested or removed in the draft.

The top mid lane heroes in Season 42, across all ranks, are Valir, Gord, Kagura. Mid lane prioritizes wave clear, crowd control, and rotation speed, since a mid hero influences both side lanes and early jungle skirmishes. Pick a burst mage to punish grouped enemies, or a control mage when your team needs reliable lockdown in teamfights. Eudora carries the highest ban rate in this lane at 58.9%, so expect that pick to be contested or removed in the draft.

The best roamers in Season 42, across all ranks, are Rafaela, Minotaur, Floryn. Roam picks define vision, engage timing, and defensive peel. Choose a hard-engage tank when your carries need someone to start fights, or a sustain and peel support when your priority is keeping a fed core alive through extended teamfights. Belerick carries the highest ban rate in this lane at 56.4%, so expect that pick to be contested or removed in the draft.

The top first-ban targets right now, across all ranks, are Hirara, Eudora, Belerick, Estes, Gloo. These heroes warp the draft so heavily that strong teams remove them before picking, and any that slip through become priority first picks.

Patch 2.2.16 opened Season 42 on September 16. It reworks Masha, revamps Bruno, and slows matches down so a team that falls behind can come back: less jungle and minion gold, and bonus kill gold from a smaller gold deficit. The nerfs hit the top of the board (Marcel, Melissa, Miya, Hanabi, Paquito, Yi Sun-shin, Sun), and most buffs go to the EXP lane and jungle (Argus, Aldous, Lukas, Aulus, Alpha, Cici, Karina), plus Kalea, Kaja, Edith and Kagura. The annual map change follows on September 28.
