Why a Three-Hero Pool Works Better

Why a Three-Hero Pool Works Better

The smaller your hero pool, the more games you'll play on your core picks — and the faster you'll grow in skill and game understanding.

You'll start to feel the game on a different level, play more easily, and carry more consistently.

Learn to play a few heroes confidently first — after that, picking up any new hero is much easier than trying to play everyone at once.

Climbing to the rank you want is realistic: focus on a minimal hero pool and your own development as a player.

Explaining with Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

An example from Mobile Legends: Bang Bang: how I started playing a small hero pool and began to climb.

After learning the game, I first tried heroes on different roles. In practice it is better to go even narrower: 1–2 roles and only 3–6 heroes total. Then you start to feel them — you know what each matchup can do against you at every stage, where their power spike is, and how strong they are in the moment.

For Season 41 my pool is:

Hylos — hero power 2230 in 25 games, 76% win rate.

Franco — hero power 1877 in 115 games, 52.2% win rate.

No third hero yet — I have not decided. The smaller the pool, the better; two heroes can be enough.

Season plan: I spam Hylos and try to play better — I review and analyze every loss. At the end of the season I will share the results. There are 35 days left until the season ends.
