With the release of a new hero, namely Atlas, a few weeks ago, Mobile Legend Bang Bang already has almost 100 heroes, or more precisely, 93 heroes. It's not surprising that the number of heroes created by Moonton as the developer of this game means that many old heroes are starting to be abandoned and players are rarely playing them.
With the release of the new hero, Atlas, a few weeks ago, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang now has nearly 100 heroes, or more precisely, 93 heroes. It's no wonder that many older heroes, created by Moonton as the developer of this game, are starting to be neglected and rarely played by gamers.
The first hero that we rarely see people playing is Balmond. Once a top pick in season 7, Balmond now finds himself rarely picked by players. This is because Balmond has received nerfs, particularly to his ultimate skill, which is no longer as overpowering as before.
We used to fight over Balmond in draft pick to anticipate the enemy stealing Lord, knowing that Balmond's ultimate could easily steal Lord. But now, what can Balmond do in this era?
It's a bit strange when the hero often seen as the icon of the game itself is rarely picked in matches. Yes, Layla, a marksman who actually deals significant damage in the late game, is very rarely picked by players (except for beginner players). This is because of the difficulty in using this hero, not in operating her, but in the difficulty of escaping from modern assassins like Ling, Helcurt, and others.
This is because Layla doesn't have any skills to escape from enemy attacks, making her easy to kill. Perhaps Moonton needs to revamp her to make her usable in ranked matches again.
Zilong is a free hero that you can get after completing the tutorial when you start playing the game. Zilong is also a hero who has been abandoned or is starting to be abandoned by Mobile Legends players for a long time. This is because Zilong's abilities are weak against new heroes, leading many players to stop using him.
Maybe many still use Zilong in Grandmaster rank and below, but believe me, if you use Zilong in Epic rank towards Mythic, you will be bullied by your teammates or maybe your opponents.
In the fourth position, we have Saber. Saber actually has an ultimate skill that can counter all heroes like Fanny, Hayabusa, and all enemy marksmen. If you use the correct build and playstyle, Saber can be a deadly weapon.
But for some reason, we rarely find players using this hero anymore. Maybe it's because of the long cooldown of his ultimate skill and the presence of many assassins who are better than him, causing Saber to be abandoned.
Argus, this hero might be predicted to be on this list. Yes, we know that Argus is one of the heroes that is rarely used by players in both Classic and ranked matches. Despite being initially overpowered, as he could become immortal for 5 seconds. During these 5 seconds, Argus's lifesteal increases by 100%.
Unfortunately, many people now know how to deal with Argus, making it very difficult to use him in the current meta. Additionally, many support heroes have CC effects that can counter Argus.
Hilda, a tank that can also act as a fighter, was once very popular. Having high mobility and great durability made her a favorite. However, over time, Hilda can no longer compete with the current Mobile Legends meta. Considering the increased attack damage of marksmen, Hilda can no longer withstand the huge damage from these marksmen.
Unlike other marksmen who are in demand in the current meta, Yi Sun-shin can only watch as his fellow marksmen are used. Yes, Yi Sun-shin is the only marksman who is not part of the hyper carry meta right now. For some reason, players are reluctant to use Yi Sun-shin, even though we know that his long-range attacks don't feel impactful enough for the current burst damage meta.
But we cannot forget about the power of his sword when attacking at close range; even a tank can be easily defeated by him. Recently, we received news from Moonton that there will be a revamp for this hero. Hopefully, with this hero revamp, Yi Sun-shin can become a new meta in Mobile Legends.
In his time, Cyclops was a mage that was frequently used by all Mobile Legends players, but not anymore. Cyclops is now being forgotten with the emergence of new heroes.
Moreover, with the arrival of Harith, Cyclops has become even more neglected. This one-eyed mage is now being abandoned due to many weaknesses that opponents can exploit. One of his weaknesses is his skills that are not particularly special; we know that Cyclops can catch enemies with his ultimate, but enemies can still use their skills when hit by Cyclops' ultimate to kill him.
Unlike in season 10 where Bane was widely used by Mobile Legends players, now Bane is one of the fighters that has been abandoned. From what we've observed, Bane is very rarely used in games, whether it's Classic or ranked matches.
Actually, Bane has quite painful damage if he has Berserker Fury as an item and can quickly clear minions with his passive and skill 2. But for some reason, Bane isn't a top pick. Maybe because Bane doesn't have any skills to escape and lacks durability, so he dies quickly in the current meta where marksmen have insane damage.
Even though supports are in high demand in the current meta, for some reason, Estes is being sidelined. Estes has healing skills that can be placed at the highest level among other Mobile Legends heroes, but his healing skill cannot match the damage produced by marksmen in the current meta. Perhaps that's the exact reason why Estes is not popular in season 16; besides, Estes truly lacks sufficient damage and is very easy to kill.
So those are the 10 forgotten heroes of Mobile Legends recently. Although they are no longer meta, if you can use them correctly, it's not impossible for these heroes to become overpowering in your hands.
