Recently, I ran a poll on my YouTube community tab, and from a total of 177,000 votes, here’s how the results turned out:
Epic-Legend: 15%
Mythic Honor: 42%
Glory: 26%
Immortal: 18%
Now, keep in mind – this is just rough data. The poll was open to everyone, so people could’ve answered however they wanted. Plus, most of the respondents were probably regular viewers of my channel. That means this doesn’t represent the entire Mobile Legends player base. Still, considering Moonton doesn’t release official rank distribution data, I guess this can serve as a small sample of the ML community.
Judging from the comments and poll numbers, I’d say it makes sense that most players are stuck in Mythic Honor. A lot of people give up climbing for various reasons:
No time to play
Busy with work, college, or life in general
Rarely log in
Honestly, most are just busy. And hey, if you’ve got a job, a family, and kids, what’s the point of reaching Immortal if your kid’s still hungry, right?
In my own circle—now that I’m 25—most of my friends are working, married, and even have children. Mythic Honor is a perfectly reasonable rank for casual players. It’s for those who just play when invited or when they have free time. Ending the season in Mythic Pink or Mythic Blue? Totally normal.
So if you're stuck in Mythic Honor, don't worry—you’re not alone. Even though it might sound like a consolation, it's just reality.
Some players have 100–200 matches per season and reach Mythic, which is common.
Some hit 300–400 matches and get to Glory.
But when someone’s playing 1,000+ matches and still in Honor? Hmm...
Let’s do some quick math. One season is about 90 days. That’s over 11 matches per day if you have 1,000 games in a season. Doesn’t really sound like someone who “rarely logs in,” right?
I even ran into someone with 2,000 matches who was still in Glory. That’s over 22 matches per day! Wild. But hey, maybe they just love the game that much. I’m not judging. Some people are simply super passionate about Mobile Legends.
From what I’ve observed and read in your comments, Tiknor is the transition tier. It’s where players are stuck because:
They know the game, but don’t apply it fully.
They understand micro and macro concepts, but the execution is lacking.
They don’t go deep with heroes, play casually, or rotate roles a lot.
Unlike Epic or Legend, players here already have game knowledge, just not to an optimal level. For instance, in Epic, you’ll find many new or super casual players. In Tiknor, you’ll find people who understand mechanics, watch MPL, and even follow ML content creators—but don’t necessarily grind or master specific heroes.
“Micro” refers to your individual mechanical skills—how well you know and play a hero.
For example, let’s take Miya. She’s a scaling Marksman who becomes strong late game. A good Miya player knows:
Her power spikes
Which enemies to avoid early game
How to combo her skills
When her damage is optimal
What to build depending on the situation
But in Tiknor, most players don’t deep dive into hero mechanics. They know the basics but lack the deeper mastery—like knowing enemy skill interactions, damage estimates, or matchup strengths.
“Macro” is the bigger picture—rotations, map awareness, and team strategy.
In Tiknor, players have basic macro awareness. They know:
Don’t go blind on the map
Don’t fight when enemies are missing
Rotate only after clearing lanes
But their timing and execution often fall short. It’s not as refined as in Glory or Immortal, where even a 1–2 second delay can cost the game. Still, Tiknor players usually understand the basics.
A lot of players who recently climbed out of Epic still bring their “split push and pray” strategy. Using heroes like Sun, Popol, or Zilong just to pressure lanes works well in lower ranks because most enemies ignore the map.
But in Mythic Honor, it’s a mixed bag. Sometimes it works—even pros still split push, but only with precise timing and team coordination.
Many in Tiknor just go, “This worked in Legend, why not here?” They don’t check maps, don’t time their split push, and end up dying alone while teammates lose objectives elsewhere.
Tiknor is the most populated tier, so matchmaking can get really chaotic. You might team up with someone really good who’s just unlucky with solo queue. Or you might get a teammate who’s... let’s just say a little too confident for their skill level.
It’s like natural selection tier—if you want to improve and climb, this is the gate. But if you’re stubborn, overconfident, and refuse to grow, you’ll likely get stuck here for a while.
Honestly? I don’t have a magical answer for climbing out of Mythic Honor. If there were an easy trick, I would’ve told you already.
Suggesting specific heroes? Doesn’t always work.
Telling you to split push? Not everyone can pull it off.
Giving macro/micro tips? You probably already know them.
The best advice? Play with friends. Team coordination goes a long way. Other than that, don’t stress too much about your rank.
Don’t let Tiknor get to you. A lot of players are stuck there, and they’re doing just fine in life.
Sure, on social media you’ll get called names like "poke bah" or “mythic botak,” but in the real world? You’re probably working, happy, and playing ML for fun—not aiming to go pro. If you're pushing for rank just for pride, it’ll never end—there’s always someone ready to look down on the next guy.
Even Immortal players get mocked.
At the end of the day, rank is just a number. Chill, have fun, and enjoy the game.
