Will the META tank jungler be popular in MPL? This is the full review

The META tank jungler started talking, can it really be popular?

The META tank jungler suddenly became the focus of the MPL scene. What was very seldom seen up to now appeared one after the other in two different MPLs.

The first META tank jungler was present at MPL MY Season 8. It was Todak who used Hylos and Akai as junglers when they beat Red Esports 2-0 on Friday (09/10).

A day later, in MPL ID Season 8, Aura Fire suddenly performed the same method. High, which has always been synonymous with unique picks with Baxia and Uranus Jungler. The result was positive, they beat ONIC Esports 2-1.

This week only two of these teams have used the META. The rest is still perfectly normal with the latest META available.

But will the META tank jungler really be that popular? Or it may only be an option at certain times.

High believes that Tank Jungler will be the most important META in the future

High as one of the pioneers of the tank jungler expressed himself after defeating ONIC. He acknowledged that the META tank jungler could be a priority in the future.

While it has not yet been proven, this is an interesting option indeed. Check out the two teams that used it to win in MPL.

If META really becomes like this, the potential for changing players in the jungler role will be very great, as not all jungler players are experienced or even understand tank heroes.

Terms and features of using META Tank Jungler

Perhaps there are still many confused about the function of using the META Panzerjungler. Because normally a jungler is very reliable as the main killer with the richest network.

If the jungler is a tank, does that mean that tank is damaged? Or does it still work normally as a sandbag?

There is actually no standard explanation for this. Everything goes back to the way we gamers think. ONE Esports also has its own opinion on this meta.

The main thing about using a jungler tank is that it will be very difficult for the enemy to attack us. As is well known, in current Mobile Legends gameplay, junglers will always get into trouble when Roamers, Midlaners, and even enemy junglers suddenly invade. Aside from the fact that the jungle can be taken by the enemy even if they don’t turn, they are sure to be longer than the enemy.



Undoubtedly, when using a jungler tank, the enemy will think twice about invasion, as it will be very difficult to fight.

There are also quite a few tank heroes who are only really useful from level four. Your advantage of being a jungler means level 4 can be found in less than the second minute.

Here the tank jungler can immediately start war and become a sandbag. Remember, using the META tank jungler does not mean that you are buying damaged items. The function of the tank is still the same as the defensive items you have. If you want damage, 1 item is enough.

When using this META it should be noted that the three lane guards must be heroes who can cause great damage. Either Offlaner, Sidelaner or Midlaner. Usually the main core is given to the Sidelaner. Assassins, snipers or late mages can be prioritized there.

During the mid and late game, jungler tanks can empower colleagues with the greatest killing potential.

Weaknesses of the META tank jungler

Then what is the weakness of this META? Obviously, not many really have mastered it in general. Because the roamer, who normally plays the role of a tank, is inversely proportional to the jungler role.

Not all pure junglers who are usually good at playing assassins or snipers, as well as heroes with great damage, can play tanks. This is the first obstacle.

On top of that, it means that playing with a META tank jungler you will definitely be counting on a major war. A tank jungler cannot solo target kills. He can’t kidnap either.

The META Panzer Jungler relies heavily on its peers and that in itself can be a problem. Unless there are other developments in the future. We will of course check it out more closely.
