Big news for Mobile Legends players! The highly anticipated lane matchmaking system is officially launching on June 18, bringing a structured way to select and secure preferred roles in ranked mode. Whether you're a multi-role player or a dedicated lane specialist, this system enhances team coordination and ensures a fairer gameplay experience.

How Does the Lane Matchmaking System Work?

When entering ranked mode, players will be prompted to select at least two lanes they prefer. You can pick up to three or more lanes, or choose role fill for total flexibility. Here’s how it works:

1. Lane Selection – Pick two or more lanes you'd like to play (e.g., XP and Mid Lane).

2. Matchmaking Process – The system assigns your lane based on team balance.

3. Locked Roles – Once assigned, roles are locked for clarity and fairness.

4. Hero Selection – Choose heroes optimized for your lane, or experiment with off-meta picks.

5. Lane Swaps – Swap lanes with teammates if needed during hero selection.

6. Retribution Rule – Only the assigned jungler can use Retribution, preventing double-retribution drafts.

Exclusive Perks for Roamers and Mythic Players

• Roam Players will receive extra protection points after each match.

• Mythic Players get one-star protection per day, rewarding their gameplay commitment.

What Happens If You Break the Lane Rules?

Players who intentionally disregard lane assignments may face penalties:

• Credit Score Reduction – Either through teammate reports or automatic behavior detection.

• Flagging System – If you ruin team structure, even as an MVP, penalties may apply.

However, off-meta picks like Miya Jungle or Layla Roamer will NOT be punished as long as they follow lane assignments.

New Features in Matchmaking Transparency

To improve matchmaking quality, Moonton has introduced:

• Lane Demand Indicator – Displays lane popularity in real-time.

• No Role-Based Favoritism – Matchmaking does not prioritize players based on past games.

Although a priority lane selection feature is currently unavailable, developers are considering adjustments based on player feedback.

Pro Tips to Secure Your Preferred Lane

• Duo Queue Strategy – Play with a friend and pick matching lanes to secure swaps.

• Five-Man Team Advantage – Pre-assign all lanes before matchmaking for seamless coordination.

• Stay Updated – Moonton will continuously optimize matchmaking systems based on community feedback.

Final Thoughts

While no matchmaking system is 100% perfect, Moonton is committed to refining the lane assignment process to enhance game fairness and balance. With the new lane matchmaking system dropping on June 18, players can enjoy better, fairer, and smarter ranked matches.
