Is it worthwhile to play Mobile Legends: Bang Bang?

Both yes and no.

I am a Mythical Glory player who has participated in games on both the Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar) and Europe (European Union) servers. Here are my completely unbiased thoughts on the game.

Yes, it is worthwhile to participate because:

• It's a great game to participate in (only in low ranks, in high rank games you have to maintain lots of focus and concentration)

• If you're from Asia, it's likely that the majority of your pals will participate in this game.

• Each game is brief (15–20 minutes on average).

• Even in the early stages, the game is extremely fast-paced and packed with action. A single mistake or a careless death in the early game and you will suddenly find yourself two levels below your opponent, which makes a significant difference in the early game.

No, it is not worth your time to play because:

• Inconsistent matchmaking (high ranking players always meet with low ranking players, and low ranking players don't stand a chance) is a major problem.

• The presence of a toxic community (toxic players exist everywhere)

• Excessive usage of unbalanced heroes (only around 20–30 heroes of high rank can be deployed, and the rest of the heroes are largely ineffectual).

As a casual game that you may enjoy with friends and seek to reach only the ranks of Master to Mythic, ML is unquestionably enjoyable to play with other players. Mythic Rank and below are fun games to play, and I usually say that about ML.

You should avoid playing ML if you want to reach Mythical Glory rank or higher. It is one of the most stressful games to play. The matchmaking mechanism, as well as your unpleasant and egotistical friends, will completely detract from the overall gaming experience.

Furthermore, here is something that no one else will tell you: the experience of playing Mobile Legends in Europe and Southeast Asia is diametrically opposed to one another.

• If you live in South East Asia, please accept my congratulations! That is the finest region for Mobile Legends players to be in. The majority of players in the Southeast Asian region take the game seriously and will do all in their power to win.

• If you are playing on the Europe Server, you are unfortunate enough to be on a less-than-ideal server; European players are normally highly arrogant and believe they are the kings or queens of the world, but they are rarely able to back up their claims with action. Furthermore, the matchmaking system in Europe is ten times poorer than that in Asia. This morning (17th of December, 2020), I attempted to play a classic game as a mythical glory player, with my team consisting of a master rank player and the opposing team consisting entirely of Mythical Glories. Even a simple game like classic is difficult to get into these days.

Finally, before I sign off, I'd want to point you that if you can't achieve a high rank in ML, you will almost certainly not achieve a high rank in LOL Wild Rift.

All in all, it is a fun game for the mass. Everybody can enjoy playing as long as nobody’s toxic and everyone is friendly.
