Introducing Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is a hugely popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game for mobile devices. With over 100 million downloads globally, it has quickly become one of the top esports titles on mobile. In this blog post, we'll provide an introduction to Mobile Legends, including an overview of heroes, skins, game modes, gameplay basics, and tips for achieving MVP status.

The game features classic 5v5 MOBA gameplay in which two teams battle to destroy the enemy's base. There is a large roster of heroes to choose from, each with unique abilities and playstyles. Players can also unlock skins to customize the look of their heroes.

Getting Started with Heroes and Skins

There are currently over 100 unique heroes in Mobile Legends, categorized as Fighters, Assassins, Mages, Marksmen, Supports, and Tanks. It's important to try out different heroes to find ones that fit your playstyle. Marksmen like Claude and Karrie rely on physical damage and are strong late game carries. Mages like Pharsa and Valir provide burst damage from range. Fighters like Chou and Silvanna excel at close combat and disrupting enemies. Skins allow you to change the appearance of heroes. There are basic skins, elite skins, special skins, and epic skins of varying rarity. Skins don't affect gameplay, but they provide cosmetic upgrades to heroes. For example, the Starlight Member skin gives Claude a futuristic visual overhaul.

Understanding Game Modes

There are a variety of game modes in Mobile Legends to cater to different playstyles:

  • Classic: Standard 5v5 mode with no bans. Good for practicing heroes.
  • Ranked: More competitive 5v5 matches with draft picks and bans. Ranks include Warrior, Elite, Master, Grandmaster, Epic, Legend, Mythic.
  • Brawl: Fast-paced casual mode with special gameplay mutators.
  • vs AI: Practice against bots to learn heroes and basics.
  • Custom: Create custom matches and tweak settings.

Early Game Farming and Pushing Lanes

Last Hitting Minions

Last hitting minions properly is crucial during the early game farming phase. This provides you gold to purchase items and get stronger over time. Focus on last hitting rather than just attacking minions randomly. Try to freeze your lane near your turret to safely farm gold early on. Certain heroes like marksmen and mages rely heavily on gold and levels to deal damage in the mid to late game. Make sure you are not missing last hits and allowing your lane to be pushed too far towards your turret early on as this will deny you farm.

Taking Objectives

In addition to farming minions, take neutral objectives like the turtle and Lord when available. Killing the turtle provides gold and buffs to your whole team. The powerful Lord minion can help you push lanes. Coordinate with your team to secure these objectives and gain an advantage over the enemy.

Mid Game Ganking and Team Fights

The mid game phase is when ganks and team fights start to break out. Look for opportunities to roam and gank overextended enemies in other lanes. Heroes like assassins and fighters are especially good at roaming for kills. Also be aware of enemy ganks and position safely.

Winning team fights is crucial to taking objectives like Turtle, Lord, and turrets. Fight with your teammates and focus on crowd control abilities to lock enemies down. Protect your damage dealers like marksmen and mages. Proper positioning and target selection determines the outcome of team fights.

Late Game Carrying and Ending

Towards the late game, damage dealers like marksmen should farm heavily to carry teamfights. Protect them and allow them to dish out sustained damage in fights and take objectives. Look for opportunities to push with Lord or ambush enemies to wipe them and finish the game.

Marksmen like Claude and mages like Pharsa become extremely powerful in the late game if farmed properly earlier on. Adjust your playstyle and positioning to enable them to carry teamfights.

Achieving MVP Status

To achieve MVP status in matches, focus on maintaining high kill participation and minimizing deaths by positioning properly in teamfights. Also ensure decent farm by properly last hitting minions in the early game.

Warding, pushing, and taking objectives are also crucial MVP factors. Provide vision with wards to enable catches and objective control. Push towers aggressively when possible to apply pressure. Snipe Lord and Turtle on spawn with your team.

Conclusion and Key Takeaways
