It is actually important for you to keep a high merit.

There will be a minimum threshold of points and if any player fails to meet that threshold, that person’s account will be restricted to only a certain type of match. To be specific, you will have 100 merits, and you will have to keep it over 60. If it is lower than 60, you will only be able to solo matchmaking queue. If it reaches 0, you will be banned for a week.

These are the four actions that will get you lost your merits. They are as follows:

How to increase your merits in PUBG Mobile

You can get merit points in Classic matches. You will earn:

  • 3 points for the top 10, 
  • 2 points for the 11th-50th place
  • 1 point for the 51st-100th place.

You can easily see the difference between how quickly you can lose your merits and how hard it is to earn them back. Let’s take killing your teammate as an example. For the first offense, you will lose 20 merit points. That means in order to get those points back, you have to be in the top 10 in 7 matches or the 11th-50th place in 10 matches or 20 matches with the 51st-100th place.

Therefore, try to keep your merit points, or you will have to go through multiple matches to raise it back. It is even harder when it drops to 60 since you can only solo queue. You should also try to reach 100 merits as PUBG Mobile will increase the maximum daily BP limit by 200 for those who have 100 merits.
