MLBB Meta — Patch 2.2.16
The current Mobile Legends meta, updated daily from ranked data and validated professional drafts. Older professional patches remain visible as benchmarks, but never change the current-patch ranking.
Top heroes by pro pick rate
These are the heroes picked most often in Global on patch 2.2.16. The sample label above shows whether these same-patch statistics are early, stabilizing, or fully weighted.

Mage • Mid LaneHidden OP — picks pros love that ranked players sleep on
These heroes have a large positive gap between their pro pick/ban rate and their ranked presence. In other words, MPL teams draft or ban them constantly, but they fly under the radar in solo queue. If you want an edge this patch, these are the heroes most likely to be under-respected by your opponents.

High ranked pick rate, low pro presence. These heroes are popular in solo queue but don't survive the discipline of pro drafts. That doesn't always mean they're bad — but it does mean their ceiling is limited, or they're easily countered with basic coordination.

How the MLBB Advisor tier list works
Most Mobile Legends tier lists are based on one person's opinion or community voting. This one starts with current patch 2.2.16 ranked statistics and tracks complete game-level professional drafts separately.
Each hero gets a Current Meta score. Professional influence begins at 12 complete same-patch series and increases until 18, scaled by how precisely each hero's professional rate is measured. Hidden OP and Overrated require that hero's own confidence interval to clear ranked presence, so a thin sample cannot produce either label.
The data refreshes automatically every day, so the tier list always reflects the latest patch and the most recent MPL matches — not last month's meta.
Frequently asked questions
What's the best meta hero in MLBB right now?
The S-tier section shows the highest-priority heroes on patch 2.2.16. It starts with current-patch ranked presence, then incorporates professional priority only when the same-patch draft sample is sufficient.
How often is the tier list updated?
Every day. The pipeline refreshes ranked statistics, complete professional drafts, and tournament schedule/result coverage.
Why is a hero ranked S-tier but I rarely see it in ranked?
Hidden OP is shown only when at least 12 complete same-patch professional series exist. The confidence adjustment prevents an older benchmark or a handful of early games from producing that label.
How is this different from other MLBB tier lists?
Most lists are based on opinion or community polls. This one is entirely data-driven: actual ranked win/pick/ban rates cross-referenced with real MPL tournament results. You can click any hero to see the raw numbers behind its tier placement.
What is MPL ID S17?
MPL ID S17 is Mobile Legends Professional League Indonesia Season 17. Its complete game drafts can inform Current Meta only when they match the ranked patch; otherwise it remains a clearly labeled historical benchmark.
