Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), one of the best MOBA Games.
Introduction

Graphic
MLBB is a nice graphic visual game. They have over 100 heros and skins. Heros' Appreance, Skin Color and Design, Spell Color Design,
Map, etc.. are so great. If your phone support highest graphic, I would like to suggest to choose it. You will feel amazing. The animations
are also great. But it will use your battery highly and will be hot quickly. In battle field, heros' animation, spell animations are so nice,
smooth and great. But there is many games that are better than MLBB in Graphic. In my personal view,
League of Legends: Wild Rift and Vainglory
are better. But MLBB is still one of the best video games in graphic of the world (only for mobile).
Game Play
Ping
In MLBB, ping is the most important role. If your ping is too high, you will face lag-problems. Your game play will be so bad, your control is
never smooth and you and your team will fail in a minutes, you will lose. In normal condition, Game Play/Control is so nice. This is so amazing that the
match making is under 10 seconds.
Modes - Rank, Classic
And then there is 4 main modes for players. Rank, Classic, Brawel and other Funny/interesting modes. Rank is playing for the rank points/stars. If you win
the game, you and your teammate will get star or points for ranking. In this mode, the game play is so agressive and need better strategy to control the other
team for victory. And then the teams can ban the heros and pick different heros(Only for the rank higher than GrandMaster). But in Classic you can pick any
hero you want and you will get on point for victory or defeat. In the other modes, that can make funny to the players with interesting abilities.
Magic Chess
You can play magic chess. It is like a real chess. But the most interesting thing is you can play the chess with the MLBB heros' ability, spells, and MLBB's rules.
Role
There is 6 different roles in MLBB. Tank, Mage, Support, Fighter, Assisian, Maskman. But in the position and lanes, you can say only 3 roles. The Jungler(mostly -
Assisians, fighters), Support and Cover (mostly - Tanks, Mages and Supports) and Carries (Assisans, Fighters and Maskmans). The Jungler is ganking all lane and
take all Jungles (Lord, Turtle, Monsters, etc..) to carry the game. The supports are to help, cover the jungler and carries and initiate the battle. The carries
need to carry the game and give the high damage to enemy team. But don't forget one thing, jungler is also a main carry.
Extra Facts for Game Play
And then Smooth Direction Wheel, Customizing Spell Position, the Sensitivity, Quick Respond, Supporting High Refresh Rate, etc...
So MLBB Game Play is so amazing.
Player Support or Caring the users
MLBB Contact Center is very nice to users. They ban cheaters weekly, check the players' reports and build the fair-play enviroment. But I think MLBB is
caring the money more than the players. They will never release a skin or hero that can not make money a lot even MLBB World Champian Winner Team/the
players want or request.
Esport
You can say MLBB is one of the best mobile esport games. This game is so popular in Asia. MLBB Organizes the esport event called Mobile Premier League (MPL)
in some countries and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang World Championship (M1,M2,M3) like The International (TI) in Dota2. The prize is higher year per year.
There is many Esports Teams for MLBB around the worldwide and MLBB is listed in SEAGAME (Southeast Asian Games). So MLBB is the most popular game in Mobile Esport.

Summary
MLBB is too huge and wide around the world especially Asian/Asia. For the PC, The Internation (TI) is the best interesting esport event and for mobile
MLBB is the largest esport event. The community is very huge and a lots of MOBA players watching and interesting this game. If you want to play MOBA,
but you have no time enough for Console/Computer Game (Dota2 or other) or if you want to play MOBA in mobile only for some minutes, you should play this game.
Don't hope too much from a mobile game if you are a PC gamer.
