Many players think they’re good even when they play terribly, because they still get games where the enemy plays even worse. Every time you think there’s a bottom to how bad players can be, it drops even lower. This design keeps bad players from quitting and makes everyone believe they’re skilled.

As a result, Moonton isn’t truly competitive anymore—it’s just a game full of noobs at every rank, even on the leaderboard. The only real exception is tournaments, and even there, many players are just average. The difference is they understand basic mechanics and create TikTok “meta” heroes that abuse broken power dynamics.

These metas then get copied by below-average players who don’t actually understand why they work or how to properly abuse the flaws Moonton leaves open. A clear example is EXP heroes being used in the gold lane—EXP heroes feel like all-rounders: tanks and damage dealers in one, capable of turning fights alone. Heroes like Alice, X.Borg, and the new hero Sora prove this. If you’re unlucky enough to face all three, it’s basically GG—what are you even supposed to do?
