Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
Every hero. Every item. And the reason behind every matchup.
Most tier lists tell you what to pick. This one tells you why it works — the mechanic that makes a counter a counter, the item that shuts a hero down, and the point in the match where the advantage flips.

Who is actually strong this patch
The S tier in every lane. Open the full list for A through D and the reasoning.
Gold Lane
MelissaGo Away!'s dome damages and repels everyone inside it continuously, so a diver has to fight her from outside her own ultimate, topping marksman win rates all season.
HanabiNinjutsu: Petal Barrage bounces off every hit for free wave clear, and Ninjutsu: Equinox grants control immunity for the 5 seconds its shield holds.
MiyaMoon Blessing attack-speed stacks and Hidden Moonlight's debuff-clearing escape make her the safest scaling pick when games run long.
Mid Lane
GordMystic Favor loads the attack after his fourth hit on a target with bonus True Damage, so Mystic Injunction's 13 ticks alone break anyone who lingers in the field.
EudoraBall Lightning is a targeted 1.2-second stun that needs no aim, and the Superconductor it leaves makes Thunder's Wrath strike a second time.
ZhuxinSoul Snare stacks until the Crimson Butterflies capture the target and pull them airborne, making her nearly impossible to peel for.
EXP Lane
GlooGrab, Grab rides an enemy carry for up to 9 seconds once they hold full Sticky stacks, transferring 80% of the damage Gloo takes to them, and it defines the current tank meta.
SunDoppelgangers inheriting 40-55% of his stats soak enemy cooldowns, and Simian God heals him off every hit they land while shredding Physical Defense.
MashaThree HP bars and Basic Attacks that scale with the target's HP post the single highest win rate of any exp laner right now.
Jungle
LingDefiant Sword's 2.5-second cooldown gives him wall-dash mobility on demand, and Tempest of Blades leaves a Sword Field standing for 8 seconds, making him the premier pick-and-clean assassin.
HarleyDeadly Magic's ring clings to one hero for 4 seconds while Magic Master shaves up to 20 Magic Defense off them, so his burst lands on a target already softened.- SunDoppelgangers clear camps fast and heal him off their damage through Simian God, letting him snowball farm into teamfight relevance.
Roam
RafaelaHoly Healing tops the team up and grants Slow Immunity, while Divine Resurrection brings a dead ally straight back into the game.
MarcelGolden Hour freezes every other unit in the area for 3 seconds — ranged attacks and projectiles included — and hands the window to Marcel alone, but its 74-second cooldown punishes a bad read.
MinotaurMinoan Fury is control-immune through all three smashes and leaves him Enraged for 12 seconds, during which Rage Incarnate's Hybrid Defense shred on every control effect he lands is doubled.
Draft answers
The item is often the counter-pick
You cannot always change your hero. You can always change your fourth slot.
Antique CuirassAnti-skill-burst tank item that punishes repeated physical skill hits with stacking damage reduction.
Arcane BootsCore mage boots giving mobility plus flat magic penetration to open up early trades.
Ares BeltCheap flat-HP roaming/tank component bought for early survivability and later HP-item builds.
Athena's ShieldBurst-window magic defense item that blocks a flat percentage of the next hits rather than scaling defense.
Azure BladeCheap early magic item adding true-damage poke to skill combos via its on-hit passive.
Berserker's FuryThe core crit-damage item for marksmen, turning crit chance into a bigger multiplier.Fundamentals
Six classes, five lanes
If you are new, this is the shape of the game. Every class links to its full roster.
