DJY on matchmaking in MLBB: “Solo matches don’t show true skill, even with a high win rate.”

I’ve been living in the Philippines for the past three months and have already played through a ranked season. In my opinion, solo matches here are similar to those in Malaysia. However, when it comes to full-stack matches, it’s much harder to compete in the Philippines. Plus, there are more players here, so the chances of facing strong opponents in matches are higher. I think that even if you have excellent skills, you still won’t be able to decide the outcome of a match on your own on the Philippine server.

As you know, solo ranked matches aren’t your typical MLBB experience—everything depends on luck when it comes to team composition. Of course, you can carry the team, but if your opponents are really good, they’ll just keep killing your allies and prevent you from making a big impact. What I’m trying to say is that solo matches don’t reflect your true skill, even if you have a high win rate. Good players always play in trios or full squads.

I believe that the “explainer” is the best role in solo matches if you know how to win your lane as Lapa, Pakito, or even Glu. It may seem like these heroes don’t deal much damage, but with a good build, no one will be able to kill you. In my opinion, it’s always better to play tanky heroes in solo queue. Right now, you can easily rack up a high win rate on the experience lane.
