Good day hivers! Playing games was always been part of our lives for sure. It gives us fun and entertainment. I know, there are a lot of gamers here in this community and that for certain, I think I could get along with them because we got something alike.

It has been a while since I played this game. I paused for a while and now I am back on track. I just paused playing for a while because I am focused on practicing arts these past few days. But for somedays, I feel like I miss playing this game so I did play again. I already have played this game with our fellow hivers and I really had fun. Mostly are into Champions Legion though and this game is unfortunately unavailable to my country.I really am finding a way on how I can play CL too so I can play with those amazing people.

Anyway, for now, I am gonna be showcasing the game that I played for a long time,Mobile Legends:Bang Bang. I am gonna show to you its features or some aspects of this thrilling game. This game review and feature showcasing could somehow help some beginners.

Classic

In this feature or mode of the game,many heroes can be used even if you do not own the heroes like those hero trial cards and the free heroes of the week. If you had just bought a hero, it is recommended that you do not try playing it on rank and do practicing your hero in the classic. Most gamers here in this mode usually are increasing or booosting up their hero's winrate and often times, they will just pick what they like without considering the hero. So in this mode, you should expect that some are not that good yet and consider the fact that they might still be practicing the hero or experimenting a new meta.

Rank

In Mobile Legends there are several ranks(the lower, the rank numbers, the higher the rank is. Lets say for example Warrior Rank, Warrior 3 is the lowest and Warrior 1 is the highest in that rank tier. It is then followed by Elite, Master, Grandmaster, Epic, Legend, Mythic and Mythical Glory. From Warrior to Legend, everytime you win, you got a single star. And for every ranks, it has different required number of stars in order to proceed to the next rank. For example, from warrior 3(provided that you have no star) ,you need to win 4 stars in order to proceed to warrior 2. And so on. The higher the rank tier, the higher stars required to get to the next rank. But in mythic and mythical glory, everytime you win,you dot gain stars anymore but instead points(gained points ranging from 8 to 11). If you have less than 200 points, you are in Mythic V. For mythic 4(points from 200-299),mythic 3(points from 300-399), mythic 2(points from 400-499), mythic 1(points from 500-599) and after that, having 600 points or more, you already are a mythic glory, the highest rank.

As you reach the mythic rank, transition from legend to mythic, there would be a 10 games for rank points calibration. This would determine how many points you would have in mythic. And the highest points you could get is 200.

For the picking part in rank, in the lower ranks, from warrior to grandmaster, there is no banning phase. But when you get to epic and higher, there will be a banning of 3 heroes per team. This is very useful to ban those overpowered heroes.


Brawl

Next mode is the Brawl Mode. In this mode, you have a chance to use any random heroes even if it is not on the weekly heroes or in your hero trial cards. But the heroes are picked randomly by the system. In the picking phase, you would be shown two random heroes and pick one. And if you do not like both the heroes shown, you could click the dice button labeled "free" under the hero shown. You could do this once in a certain span of time and will jist refresh after sometime.

This brawl map is different from the clasic and rank map. This mode only has a single lane with 2 jungle creeps on each side. In playing this mode, you should remember that you should buy the items first before going out of the base. Once you leave the base, you could not go back in anymore to heal yourself. The only thing you could gain hp is by killing jungle creeps, lifesteal item or the revitalize battle spell. Moreover, the same as the classic and rank's goal, you should detroy the enemy's main tower.

Custom

The custom mode is where you could have the power to choose your team or enemies may it be a bot or a friend of yours. In this mode, you could choose between classic, brawl, draft pick(same as the rank mode picking phase) and practice(fight with a bot). You and your friends could battle with other bots. You could have a bot ally. Or you could battle with your friends. This mode gives you the power to choose your enemy and ally.

Vs. AI


This Vs. AI mode is where you could hone your mastery and skills by fighting bots. You could play solo or with your friends in playing with those bots.

Arcade

This mode gives you another style of the existing modes. There are many modes that are already coming soon and actually, it already has been played before. Maybe, those arcade games are still on development. Right now, the only arcade you could play is the magic chess. If you feel like you want to earn more BPs, you could play a lot of arcade games here.

Shop

The shop tab is obviously where you could buy heroes, skins, and more stuff. In this section, there is the draw tab where you could have a chance to win a skin or hero and conzolation prizes like fragments, bp and trial card. You have a free spin everyday and 20 tickets for the proceeding spins. So, it is recommended to be online everyday and get your free spins.


Events

The events tab shows the trends or the important events on Mobile Legends. Everyday, there are a lot of giveaways such as bp's, trial cards, fragments and more. In some days, there will be events where you could surely get a skin. There are also events where you should do some mission(like playing a game or sharing the game event to social media) and in return, you receive some kind of cards or tokens that will be used for spinning and get a chance to win skins and consolation prizes. So better check the events tab everyday to not miss any rewards, current events and giveaways.


Starlight

This starlight tab is not just exclusive for starlight members. A lot of rewards are awaiting for you here but if you are a starlight member, you are more privileged when it comes to rewards. Anyway, everytime you play or when you complete a starlight task, you get starlight points. As you claim your starlight points, you increase your starlight level and each level has a corresponsing rewards. In some levels, you can get starlight coins or the starlight pink fragment which you could exchange for a certain starlight random bundle that has a guaranted hero or for the other bundle, you could have a chanve to get a venom skin.


Live

If you are a streamer or who wants to stream your games, you could make it live. There is already a live feature in ML where you could broadcast your games on air but only accessible through the ML app. So if you want to stream beyond the app, there is the FB and the Youtube Live tab where you could stream your games. Moreover, aside from streaming your games, you could also watch your favorite streamers. If you want to learn how to play a certain hero, you could go to the "By hero" tab and watch several livestreams that are using that specific hero. You could also access the MCL League livesteams in the MCL League tab.


E-sports

In this tab, you could see all about the ongoing e-sports. The MPL League or tournaments are shown here and what are the current standings of the teams that are partaking in the event. You could also access here some important news or announcements about the ML tournaments. Moreover, you could also win rewards by tapping on the fixture and choosing the team that you support and the ammount of Guess coins you want to spend.


Preparations

In this section, you could access and make alterations on emblems, battle emotes, quick chat, item builds and more.

For the emblems tab, you could upgrade here your current emblem set. This emblems are very important because this has corresponding talents (additional buff when playing like extra spell vamp, slow effect on enemy and many more).Each hero roles has a corresponding emblem set and every emblem set has various talents on different levels. The higher the level of the emblem set, the better the talent. So, it is really advisable to upgrade your emblems. And a suggestion from me, it is better to prioritize the emblem set that corresponds to your most-used hero role. You could upgrade your emblems by using emblem fragmens with some BP or magic dust with some BP.

Another tab is the builds tab. You could alter your item builds here. If you feel like you are not that good with item builds yet, I recommend you to follow the Pro Builds. You could also read the item details in the "equipment book" tab that will guidd you in making up your item builds.

You could also change your recall, spawn, elimination effects in the "battle effects" tab.

In the battle emote and quick chat tab, you could choose what emoticons to put on your battle emote slots. Also, you could choose what quick chat statements you would use before playing. This quick chat is really important so you could quickly communicate with your teammates without typing.


Heroes

Screenshot_20200822-192353.jpg
Here is the Heroes tab. You could see here your owned heroes and the weekly free heroes which are highlighted. Moreover, you could also access here the mastery book which shows the progress of your mastery on the heroes. The higher the mastery progress, the more you could gain some sort of coins that you could use in purchasing sacred statue(a hero-like statue that will be replaced with the towers when playing).

Leaderboards

Screenshot_20200822-153517.jpg
This tab includes your hero rank or street titles in your place. The street title begins with the beginner level and followed by junior and senior level. The beginner level is your rank title in your barangay or street. The junior level is your rank title in your municipality. And the senior level is your rank title in your province. The more hero power you have, the more chances you could have a street title. Every street title levels has 100 slots. You could increase your hero power or mmr by winning rank games. Every losing game has a corresponding deduction to your hero power. And for now, my main hero, bruno, is top 1 on my barangay or street and is top 35 on my municipality. My other main hero, aldous, is top 4 on my street. I do not know if I really can keep my hero rank up because I often play for now. Maybe, sometime, I would play some more to maintain my rank.

In this tab, you could also see the global rankings of the high-ranked players and as well as the top-global players of a certain hero.


Achievements

Screenshot_20200822192401.jpg
This achievements tab sections shows the badges or medals that you have gained. The medals or badges are gained through attaining some sort of a mission of that badge like having a high level, getting 10 kills in a game, having several legendaries or savages and some sorts of that stuff. As you achieve more, you could gain a lot of rewards like fragments, BPs, bundles and many more.


Contests

Screenshot_20200822-153546.jpg
The contest tab is about the events or competitions that everyone could play. The MCL League happens once every week and in order to be eligible to join the contest, you and everyone in your team should have an MCL ticket which costs nearly 0.4 USD. When you lost, you will be eliminated in the bracket. But when you win, you could play some more and battle more other teams in the bracket. And lastly, when you are hailed as the winner in that bracket, you will have a MCL trophy kind of badge on the hero that you used which will be displayed on the loading screen before the game starts or after the picking phase.

For the, Conquest of Dawn, you could play as many as you want(lose or win) in the event time duration. After every game, you could gain some sort of token or coin that you could exchange for some little rewards or the grand prize which is a hero skin.

Inventory

Screenshot_20200822-153422.jpg
This tab is the storage of all your fragments, tokens, tickets, trial cards, bundles and many more. You could check here the quantities of the items that you have and also open the bundles that is stored.

I have been playing Mobile Legends for 2 years. Everytime, I got bored, this is what I play and I really had fun. Before, when I was just starting to play ML, I really got very addicted to this game and I start playing from 9 PM to 7 AM. I was even scolded for my parents doing this routine.

Anyway, what I really liked about Mobile Legends is that it is a free to play 5v5 MOBA game. There are some games that needs to be purchased in order for you to play the game. Another thing is that since it is a mobile game and mobile phones are handy, you can play it everywhere and anytime. Unlike, computer games, you could only play that on your PCs or on internet cafes and yes, you could play on your laptop anywhere but you would have a hard time bringing it from one place to another. That's what make mobile games like Mobile Legends have an advantage to computer games.

What I also liked about this game is that it has many rewards everyday and giveaways on events that are given to the players. This serves as a token of appreciation from Moonton to the players who continuously support the game.

The speedmode feature of ML makes the game much better. It may have some lagging issues even when the speedmode is on but this only usually happens when a new update was just done. Mobile Legends are having a never ending updates and every after an update it really lags. Many players really are concerned about this matter and hope that ML could improve this situation.

Mobile Legends has a built-in live stream feature so you don't have the need to install other apps to do livestream. Also, facebook and youtube is incorporated to the game so you could already have your livestream on this social media.

This game also has a replay feature so you could access again your best gameplays. For those who are not into streaming like me, I could not access back those legendary gameplays that I did so thanks to this replay feature of Mobile Legends.

Lastly, Mobile Legends goes beyond than just being a game but also a way of connecting with other people. Aside from you could play and have fun with your old friends, you could also know a lot of people and be friends with them and play together. I have known a lot of strangers from the game that have became friends.

Wow. You reached this far? Thank you! That's it for today's blog. Hope you enjoyed and had fun :)
