ML Tanks: Mechanics and Tips to Help You “Body” Your Team!

The mechanics of ML Tanks are very different from other hero categories. Even though they are paired with support (as a “fellow” Roamer category), the differences are still stark!

Without many people realizing it, the existence of Tanks in the current meta is becoming increasingly important! Well, if you are curious about tips for becoming a good Tank, you should check out the review!

Tanks in Meta Now

Along with the new meta Season 37, every match must bring a Tank. The team that can balance between "body", damage, and heal will have a greater chance of getting stars.

Prioritizing the existence of Tanks will give an advantage when there is a war or contest. This "textbook" strategy is very surplus, especially for those who want to push early.

However, as time goes by, Tanks are no longer an exclusive category for Roamers alone. Moonton (as a developer) has opened up space for other roles to use it.

Moreover, with the existence of various Support heroes who now have “no joke” healing capacity – it makes more sense if Tanks are finally used by roles other than Roamers.

Tanks and Role Compatibility

Because the Roamer meta is now more surplus if filled with Support, the Tank position must shift to another role that can be at the front - both for sustain and dive-in purposes.

Therefore, EXP.-laner and/or Jungler must be ready to choose heroes from this category if needed so that the team draft can be perfect. What is certain is that there must be at least 1 Tank in the team.

But what you need to remember, the context here is not always limited to heroes in that category. There are also many "hard" Fighters who can fill this position.

As long as their presence can be a damage “absorber”, any hero is valid to be chosen. For example: Badang, Kalea, Lapu-Lapu, Phoveus, Yu Zhong, Khaleed, etc.

Micro, Meso, and Macro Mechanics of ML Tanks

Now let's get into the mechanics of this category. The discussion will be divided into three: Micro, Meso, and Macro. Listen carefully so you don't misunderstand:

Micro

Let's start from the Micro discussion, you need to understand fluently various things related to all Tank heroes and those who have the potential to be one of them, such as:

  • Master the mechanics of various heroes well, and understand their best builds;
  • Know the characteristics of each hero (sustain, crowd control, diver, etc.);
  • Understand which heroes are suitable to counter enemy drafts, and know the defensive strategy if you are countered.

Meso

For Meso from role ML Here, the most important thing is that you must be able to read various indicators related to the magnitude and type of output damage received.

This includes the type (red, purple, or white), the magnitude of the digits (at what range the damage falls into burst or damage per second-DPS), who the contributor/executor is, etc.

Macro

Lastly is Macro, this aspect is very important because it is the one that determines the final capacity for a player. Those with good Macro can generally:

  • Executes rotations well;
  • Perform objective setup according to timing;
  • Dominate the entire map without exception;
  • Knowing the movements of team members that he should prioritize;
  • Understanding how life and death can matter can be a plus for the team;
  • Have a solid understanding of the meta and draft-picks of your own/enemy team.

Effective Tips According to Role

From the various reviews about Micro, Meso, and Macro above, there are at least several practical tips that you can apply directly to perfect your gameplay:

  1. The universal formula is that this hero category is not here to find the perfect kill-death-assist (KDA). So, as long as you provide assists, don't be afraid if your deaths are more than your kills;
  2. If you are a Roamer, don't be afraid to "hold your body" (TB), even if you have to withstand hits from the Turret. That way, the team's damager can freely target enemy heroes;
  3. If Offlaner, don't just "brawl" in the lane! Make sure you are present to help the team's movement in achieving objectives/advantages (rotation);
  4. If you are a Jungler, don't hesitate to setup and open war. Master the objective and lock the enemy damager so your team can excel.
