Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is a mobile multiplayer online battle arena developed and published by Moonton released on July 14 2016. It currently has 27M downloads and is really a popular mobile game.

1.) I hate it because it is addictive;

For some players they can manage their time on how they will play this game but for most it is very hard. Many teenagers are so hooked that it makes them skip mealtime and sleep deprivation. There are articles online about death of teenagers blaming it on the excessive use of phones because of Mobile Legends.

2.) Many Toxic Players;

If you are just starting up or you're a newbie and you don't know how to navigate the game yet, your teammates will throw bad words at you instead of helping you enjoy the game and learn, they'll make fun of you and insult you. It is alarming how players would simply curse you and throw insults at you as if it's a normal thing to say. So, if you are sensitive and easily gets hurt this is not a game for you.

3.) Needs fast internet connection;

As a player living in the Philippines, this is my problem because we have poor internet service here. It will cause you and your playmates bad performance if you left the match because of the reconnecting problems.

4.) The app is so huge and it almost eat my whole storage;

My storage is complaining for the updates, although it is for better playing experience, I still can't accept the fact that it eating almost 3.5GB of my storage.

5.) The MLBB shops;

There are virtual shops for skins and stuff and damn I'm telling you they are quite pricy.

Reason why I love it;

It connects you to people and you can make new friends just by playing this game. And if you are lucky, maybe you'll find your destiny here.

The only reason I play this game is because my brothers and my friends play this and most of the time I'm lost in the conversation because of not having any idea about the game. That's when I decided to download and practice. Now I can cope up and talk with them about it. Also most of my relatives play this game, it became our bonding tool. My boyfriend and I always play duo, this is how we spend our quality time.

Overall, I don't really hate it. It is just that I know how to use it responsibly.
