defending your own base. You and 4 other team members that are randomly selected from players

across the globe will fight against another team of 5. Rappler.com stated how to play the game. At

its core, Mobile Legends pits 2 teams of 5 against each other, with the main objective being to

destroy the opponent’s base. At the start of the game, each player gets to select a hero. Each hero

has a unique set of attributes and skills. There are currently 92 heroes in the game, grouped into 6

different roles: tank, fighter, assassin, marksman, support, and mage. These roles determine the

responsibilities of players for their respective teams. Support heroes, for instance, can buff or heal

their teammates. That’s why they should stick with their allies to keep them alive or strong in

battle. Players must also level their heroes up by defeating enemy forces, specifically computer-

controlled minions, turrets, and heroes. Doing so earns them in-game money, which they can spend

on items that boost the stats of their heroes. They also stated how it is different from other online

games that a typical game of Mobile Legends runs an average of 10 to 15 minutes, unlike MOBA

titles for PC like Dota 2 and League of Legends, which can last anywhere from 40 minutes to an

hour.
