Lane Matchmaking, Hero, Battlefield Changes and more

With the current Patch Update in the Mobile Legends Advanced Server, many heroes are getting their required nerfs and buffs. Along with the revamped model of Hanzo being introduced slowly, there are buffs to the likes of Selena and others, along with nerfs to Yi Sun-shin and more. There are changes to Lane Matchmaking along with other battlefield adjustments, which we will discuss more in the Mobile Legends Patch 1.9.40 Update in detail.

Mobile Legends Patch 1.9.40 Update: Lane Matchmaking Changes

Lane Matchmaking is now available for Ranked games in MLBB.

This feature is only available in Ranked mode for players reaching Grandmaster or above. Before matchmaking, you can preselect 1-5 lanes in the Lobby. In multi-player lobbies, matchmaking only begins when there’s no conflict among the pre-selected lanes.

During Pick and Ban, you can request to swap lanes with your teammates. Lanes can be swapped upon agreement. Players must adhere to the assigned lane during the match. Failure to do so may result in penalties.

Revamped Hanzo

Devs have fixed some issues and optimized skill casting experience while reducing damage output in the Hanekage Form.

Skill 1 (↑)

• Damage: 270-420 + 60% of Extra Physical Attack >> 540-840 + 120% of Extra Physical Attack

Sufficient data and feedback have been collected on the Bush adjustments. In this patch, we will temporarily revert these changes to align with the Official Server.
