Changes to META Jungler After Latest Mobile Legends (ML) Update!

Now META Mobile Legends is predicted to change drastically, especially for heroes with the Jungler role (for those who don’t know, other names are: hyper core / carry).

This is due to the 3 updates below:

1. Monster buff spawn time decreased from 30 seconds to 25 seconds
2. Red and blue buff duration decreased from 120s to 75 seconds. Monster buff’s respawn timing decreased from 120 seconds to 90 seconds
3. Turtle spawn starting from 2 minutes (previous 3 minutes) and will respawn inside 120 seconds (previously 180 seconds). Can kill Turtle arrive 4x (previously 3x)

Then what is the impact of the above update on META Mobile Legends (ML) role jungler?

1. Junglers should immediately bluff when the game is just starting

This was conveyed by EVOS.Caramel who is a player sidelaner from EVOS ML Ladies who won the Woman Star League (WSL) voiced his opinion to SPIN Esports.

If in the previous meta the jungler cleared 1 minion wave more often before blowing up, in the current meta Caramel suggested that the jungler immediately ngebuff only.

This is because the buff monster spawn is accelerated from 30 seconds to 25 seconds and the movement speed of minions in the midlane is reduced by 6%. This causes monster buff will respawn first than the minions meeting in the midlane.

2. Jungler must be more agile in roaming & getting objective

Additional points from EVOS Caramel: Due to shortened buffs and turtles, a jungler must be faster at moving. So junglers shouldn’t stay in the midlane too often and farm minions there.

It is better to focus on securing objectives such as: buffs, turtles, helping to tackle the sidelane, farming gold from the turret shield, and push the turret.

With tanks and junglers who are diligent in roaming and taking objectives, GEEK.Frieza suggests that support heroes can take the midlane to reach level 4. As soon as possible, meta supports mostly require ultimate skills to be more effective during team battles.

3. Hero Marksman (MM) is predicted to be a meta again

Then according to the predictions of AE.Celiboy and EVOS.Caramel, it seems there is a possibility that in the current update meta marksman (MM) can come back again.

According to SPIN Esports, the short duration of the buff makes the hero jungler not always have time to buff. And assassin heroes usually really need buffs because they often rely on skills to damage opponents. In contrast to MM which is more focused on auto attack.

Several assassin heroes are also nerfed quite badly, especially Ling. The use of ling energy becomes very wasteful, especially without the blue buff. Meanwhile, Ling is one of the most frightening assassins for MM, with Ling’s departure from the MM meta, he will be able to play more freely.

But MM pick doesn’t mean without risk, especially MM jungler is obliged to use retribution spell, so once you have a bad position it will be easy to kill your opponent.

It would be interesting if MM could re-enter META after this update so that the Mobile Legends (ML) game could have a more dynamic meta and that’s all.

This is the prediction for the Change in META Jungler after the December 15 Mobile Legends Update. Again this is just an opinion and not necessarily a fact, so let’s monitor together whether the meta will actually turn out like this or not. If you have an opinion, comment directly below.
