When I saw my sister playing Mobile Legends, I suddenly had the urge to play the game too. But it was January this year when I uninstalled the app on my phone and decided to quit playing. Ever since I deleted the app, I haven’t tried to reinstall it because I tried not to give in to temptation. I haven’t played ML for 4 months already.
But since I just logged out from work and is waiting for our dinner to be prepared, I asked my sister if I can borrow her phone and play just one game. I don’t want to reinstall the game on my phone because it would just open an idea of coming back to my past routine in which I already changed. After she’s done playing, she lends me her phone and granted my request.
Before I started to join a match, I thought that I might be trash talked because I already forgot how to play the game. But on the other hand, since my sister’s account is only in Grandmaster division, I also thought that maybe my teammates are not a pro, too.
When the match was found and it’s time to pick our heroes, I was confused about which hero to use since my sister’s heroes were too few. After looking for the available heroes, I decided to just use Lesley because I know how to use her before compared to the other heroes in the choices.
I felt strange when the game started. I guess I’m no longer used to staring with those tiny minions and heroes anymore.
Anyway, even though I felt the newbie feelings, I still tried my best to play and win. I also want to know if I can still win and still have the skills of a mobile gamer within me. LOL.
As we keep on playing the game, I’ve adjusted how to play little by little. And having Lesley as a late-game hero, I gained an advantage in the latter part of the game, most especially when Lesley’s items were already full. The game became too exciting and I was eager to play with my best as a marksman and help my team to win. I even killed 4 heroes consecutively and got a “Maniac” streak. Again, I felt the newbie feelings of getting a “Maniac”. LOL
We almost lose when our opponent got the Lord on their side. But with our teamwork, we were able to turn the table and win!
Playing Mobile Legends again brings back memories of the old days of being addicted to it.
When I started to play ML last October 2018, there was never a day that I stopped playing. During break time, I and workmates always find time to play and party. And when I arrive home from work, I went to solo gaming until late at night. I admit I got addicted to playing it that it consumed my time. My workmates even created a tournament before and I participated actively and I was also hoping that I’ll be able to join an outside tournament soon.
Before uninstalling the game, my rank reached Mythic Division. I remembered being so happy and fulfilled when I reached Mythic. But since 2 or 3 seasons had passed since I quit playing, I guess my current rank lowered to Grandmaster IV or V since players will automatically rank down when a new season starts.
The heroes that I am comfortable in using were Lesley, Akai, Angela, Gord, Dyrroth, Odette, X.Borg, Harrith, Nana, Hanabi, and my best pick – Lylia.
If I haven’t decided to quit playing Mobile Legends earlier this year, maybe I am playing this mobile game for the whole quarantine period.
When I have nothing to do and is getting bored, this game sometimes crosses to my mind. “Shall I install it again? Maybe I can have just one game and that’s it? Oh gosh! Just install it already!”, my mind would say.
But I know myself well! I better stick to quitting on playing that game and find another activity that will align with my goals. When I think of that, the temptation of installing ML will fade way. And playing once today is already enough, I am already fine with that.
When I uninstalled the app, my boyfriend followed uninstalling then. He was the one who influenced me with it in the first place and it was one of our bonding time. We decided to quit playing because we are setting more important goals. That game is a part of our past and more than a year of playing it is enough, I guess.
It was fun playing with you, Mobile Legends! Thank you for the entertainment! 😊
Ahh I remember my gaming days in the olden days. Haha. Would you believe na I went 3 days with no sleep? Kasi work sa gabi, then pag uwi, derecho computer shop para maglaro. Kapeblang ang bumuhay sa akin. Then a few months after that, nag quit na ako. Addictive kasi talaga. Wala na akong nilaro nang seryoso after. Feelings na lang ng jowa ko. Charaught! Hahaha
Hahahhaha. Grabe yung 3 days no sleep madam. 1 day no sleep pa lang inabot ko sa paglalaro so far. Laruin ko rin kaya feelings ng jowa ko? Hahahhha charot
