LEAGUE OF ... MOBILE ... LEGENDS?
Mobile Legends Bang Bang: A fun and intense MOBA
The players of MOBA, and especially those of League of Legends, will be in known terrain. The game is focused on the classic fashion in 5v5. Two teams of five players, running heroes with their own abilities, compete against each other on a map shared by a river. Three lanes (or roads) are traced and dotted with turrets. They lead to the opposing Nexus, HQ to be destroyed in order to win the game. Minions, sorts of little soldiers, perpetually ascend the lanes by attacking the towers as well as the enemies. Killing them brings money that allows you to buy equipment during the game to gain power and skills. A jungle is also present and represents all the rest of the map. It is made up of monsters providing improvements and sometimes aids on the lanes, and also allows to ambush its opponents.

All of these elements are fairly common in the MOBA universe and are therefore very reminiscent of League of Legends. The course of the game is totally similar. The lobby gathers people from around the world and players choose their summoner spells and a character from among the 24 presently present. Each one has its specificities, but especially a role in the predefined team like shooter, tank or even mage. There are no duplicates, and the characters are diversified among themselves if not original. One finds for example a clone of Xin Zhao (League of Legends) or of Butcher (DOTA 2).
A CERTAIN LACK OF COHESION

The style of play is a little less finaud than on League of Legend and electrical talks are started from the first minute of play: it must be said that the parts are much shorter than for the reference of the genre. To bring his kernel back into the game and start chaining the kills, the player has a self-attack button represented by a sword icon that just holds down. A wheel composed of three spells, one of which is unlockable from level 4, is deployed all around. Their descriptions are visible with a fold-out tab on the right edge of the screen. Summoner spells are arranged at the bottom of the screen. Finally the virtual stick to move is placed at the bottom left. The gaming camera is fortunately quite far from the hero, which allows to obtain a certain visibility on the action. The game turns well in all cases on recent smartphones.

And as one could suspect, the confrontations are at the heart of the game and somewhat neglect the strategic aspect of the genre. Communication between team members is laborious. It passes through a chat window to open during the game, which brings up a keyboard and in return makes the controls disappear. An exclamation point under the mini map allows ping or alerting its allies, but asks to release the other keys pressed. The information appears in a transparent blue that is not visible on the mini map. As a result, we find ourselves with a free-wheeling team, with relatively individualistic players not paying attention to the backdoors or the capture of objectives. The parts last for a maximum of 20 minutes, which partly justifies the nervousness of the title.

The game also catches by its maneuverability. Failing to offer a keyboard-mouse experience, developers have automated most actions. Pressing the self-attack icon allows you to target the closest hero or minion. Items to be purchased during the game appear at the top of the screen as soon as you have enough money to retrieve them and are directly equipped. The camera is always above our hero and we must tap on the mini map to get a glimpse of what is happening elsewhere. The spells are also self-guided and it often happens to blast the bad opponent, a very annoying thing in teamfight. The control of certain heroes becomes very complicated when it is necessary to shine by its skillshots. The game however allows the user to parameterize a lot of things in the options, but the experience is not really improved.

The player spends three quarters of his time on the battlefield. The remaining quarter, it passes it in the menu of the game between the Store and the Preparation tab. In the first are the heroes that can be bought with points of fighting won by playing or with diamonds, money obtained with real money. Skins are also available and increase hero statistics. The
