5 Most banned heroes in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang ranked mode

Playing ranked mode in Mobile Legends Bang Bang (MLBB) is not easy. With a growing pool of powerful heroes and a dedicated player community, facing skilled opponents while climbing ranks is tough. Winning isn’t guaranteed, so banning specific heroes during draft picks becomes crucial. Let’s quickly explore the top 5 most banned heroes in Mobile Legends and why they’re feared in the meta. However, do remember that the rankings of these heroes in the list are relevant to Mythic Rank and above only and can change based on meta.

What are the most banned heroes in Mobile Legends ranked mode?

1. Floryn

Although she is one of the most simple heroes to use in MLBB, Floryn is also banned quite a lot in Ranked mode due to her effective healing. Like, her passive, Dew permanently increases your attributes and you can also share the Flower of Hope to Jungler or Gold Laner to grant them shield everytime you heal them.

With the addition of the Flask of Oasis item, she is now even effective in ranked matches. With Sow skill, you can deal magic damage while spawning healing fruits that bounce to your nearby allies and heal them, while Sprout is a simple crowd control that let you stun enemies for a short period.

But it is her ultimate, Bloom, that makes her so overpowered. With this, you can literally heal every teammate where ever they’re on the map, and even increase their shield and HP regeneration. So, it makes your team really tough for enemies to take down. You can counter her with most high damage heroes as she is pretty squishy or use anti-heal items like Glowing Wand and Dominance Ice.

2. Hayabusa

Hayabusa is by far one of the most banned heroes in MLBB ranked mode since a long time now. With Ninjutsu: Trace of Shadow, you can apply Shadow Marks which increases the damage you deal to enemies. It is due to his unmatched mobility and high scaling damage with the ability to easily pick off squishy heroes that make him so deadly.

Countering Hayabusa isn’t a simple task due to his Ninjutsu: Quad Shadow skill, which lets you dash and reposition to your shadows while also dealing extra damage, while Ninjutsu: Phantom Shuriken offers heavy poke, while slowing down enemies and restoring energy.

And the ult, Ougi: Shadow Kill is quite broken as you can instantly eliminate squishy heroes. Countering him is tough, but you can try with Khufra, Lancelot, or Ling.

3. Granger

Since his arrival, Granger remains one of the most powerful heroes, especially in the Gold lane and even Jungle lane. With his high burst damage, solid mobility through Rondo, and the ability to easily clear waves with the first skill, you can easily farm and dominate in both solo and team fights.

Moreover, the dash skill not just lets you reposition but it also restores energy for the gun, so you can continously apply pressure and also keep yourself safe. And with his ult Death Sonata and the Sky Piercer item, you can easily eliminate squishy heroes, or slow them down to than finish with the first skill.

That said, you can counter him with Assassins like Hayabusa and Lancelot, and late-game Marksman like Obsidia or Lesley.

4. Kadita

For mage, Zhuxin was the most banned for some time now, but Kadita has now taken that spot. I mean, her deadly burst and survivability makes her a really annoying hero to deal with, mainly as Marksman and Mage. With her passive, you can recover a solid amount of HP after taking damage, and it’s the most annoying part.

Both are skills are really strong, but it’s her Ultimate, Rough Waves, that almost you believe she is more of an Assassin than a Mage. You can ambush from bush and one shot most heroes, and even escape after eliminating prioritity targets. To counter her, you need Assassins or heroes like Yi Sun-Shin that can immune themselves.

5. Yu Zhong

Yu Zhong is by far one of the best fighters and exp laner in MLBB, which is also the reason you see him get banned almost every season in lower or higher ranks. His passive, Cursing Touch applies Sha Residue, which stacks up and deal damage based on your enemy’s lost HP, while you get healing and movement boost.

But besides his other skills, it’s his Ultimate, Furious Dive that makes him so feared during ganks. With this, you can solid mobility and crowd control, and you can easily dive into fights, disrupt enemy positioning, and even mark squishy heroes in the backline. It’s hard to counter him due to his solid sustain, but you can pick Cici, Thamuz, or late-game mms like Obsidia, Brody, or Natan to melt him.

Conclusion

Although many players ban certain heroes in ranked mode, it’s crucial to consider more than just popularity. Factors like your team’s lineup, the enemy’s lineup, and your playstyle matter before locking in a hero. Having the first pick doesn’t guarantee a win by choosing those highly sought-after heroes. It’s essential to assess the situation and make choices that benefit your team. Remember, Mobile Legends Bang Bang (MLBB) is about teamwork in a 5v5 match, not a solo game.
