CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Mobile Legends Bang Bang is a popular 5v5 MOBA or Multiplayer
Online Battle Arena game that was originally designed for mobile phones. It’s
reminiscent of games like DOTA but using a mobile format that is why it is a
hit to its users. Eventually, the game has evolved and can also be played using
a PC. Mobile Legends Bang Bang is created and published by Moonton and
was released in July 2016.
In this game, there are two opposing teams consisting of five players in
each team fighting against each other to attack and destroy each other’s base.
The teams must also make sure that they are able to defend their respective
base. This game is a showdown between two teams of real human opponents
using player-controlled characters to create the perfect team. The players can
choose an avatar or in this game is known as a “hero” where each has its own
special set of abilities. Knowing your enemies avatars will help players predict
your opponent’s possible next move and strategy. Teamwork is a key part of
the strategy to win in this game. Aside from the players, there are also
computer controlled “minions” that randomly appear in the game to help you
fight your enemies and destroy their base. In the map of the game, there are
three separate lanes that the teams will travel to get to the other base and these

HIGH SCHOOL
are known as the Top, Middle, and Bottom. Each of the lanes has three turrets
each and the team’s goal is to get past the minions and then obliterate the
turrets. After you have destroyed the turrets, you can then focus on attacking
the base of your enemy. Keep in mind that the lanes can determine the type of
enemies that you will encounter so be ready with your own counterattacks.

This 2018, MLBB's entrance into the Philippine basketball scene was
marked by exciting collaborations with leading Filipino basketball players,
basketball-themed skins, limited-edition jersey, and a slew of offline activities.
"As a globally-focused game, MLBB has always placed a strong focus on
local popular culture and aims to connect with players at a deeper level.
Basketball being a popular sport within the Philippines, and among MLBB
players, entering the basketball scene was a natural decision for us," shared
Cherry Xia, MLBB's Vice President. "Moreover, basketball and MLBB e-
sports share a lot of similarities, both of which emphasize the spirit of
competition and teamwork. Players of all skill levels can experience the thrill
of competition and teamwork." (PinoyTechSaga, 2018)
With each passing day, I start to see more and more gaming recaps on
my Facebook feed. MVP recap, assist recaps, basically showing off their value
in a game that seemed like a DOTA-based mobile game. The recap isn’t some
screen-capped summary. Rather, it felt like a game feature. (Yes, I don’t play
the game…yet)
Bueno, let’s give a brief background about the game and its developer
“Mobile Legends: Bang Bang” is a mobile MOBA. Unlike games such as

DOTA 2 or League of Legends (LOL), you will only need a compatible
mobile phone to run the game. The game was developed by Moonton, a
gaming developer located at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with a company life
nine months. Yep, just nine months. To boot, this is only Moonton’s only
video game developed and released, available for both android and iOS. (Migs
Lopez, 2017)

HIGH SCHOOL
We have to admit that many of us loves to have some fun playing

online games in solo play or with our friends. And with a strategy Multi-player
Online Battle Arena kind of a game you’ll sure be hooked up with it for hours.
This category of game was first introduced in a PC and a lot of gamers find it
great to measure one’s skill of a real player when it comes to the gamer’s
reaction time, critical thinking and strategies to win the game. Nevertheless,
it’ll measure ones’ sportsmanship which is a true quality of a real gamer.
(Arjay Aragon, 2017)
Positive effects of playing video games:

1. Multitasking abilities
A lot of video games require multitasking abilities. Playing regularly
will help your child to enhance his reflexes and responses. Like for example,
racing games will require you to drive and win the race while doing extra
missions. In this case, you need to multi-task for you to be able to finish the
mission given to you.
2. Cooperation and teamwork
This is obvious especially in games like multiplayer online battle arena
famously known as MOBA. The key to winning this game is cooperation and
teamwork. Without these two essentials, it is almost impossible to win. If your
child is fond of playing this kind of games, then there are higher chances that
he will learn to cooperate with his teammates even when outside the game.
This will apply specifically to his activities at school or performance in his
chosen sport.

HIGH SCHOOL
3. Boost confidence
Playing video games can actually boost his confidence. He will be
more likely to become competitive. Accomplishing something or achieving
victory in the game he is playing might turn him to be more confident than he
used to be before. It will also help him to strive and work hard to gain more
achievements. Seeing your child being competitive is something you would
like right?
4. Eye and hand coordination
Good hand and eye coordination are highly needed in playing video
games. A good example is shooting game. For you to win this kind of game,
you need to be very keen when it comes to chasing opponents and shooting
them while you are defending yourself too. This is possible if you have a good
hand and eye coordination. Regular playing can increase your child’s
proficiency which is very useful for performing his daily activities.
5. Social skills
This is totally helpful especially to those kids who are having a hard
time socializing with others. Playing online games will slowly help him to
learn how to interact with different kinds of people – even strangers. Yes,
approaching people in real life might be harder than doing it virtually when
playing online games but the point is, he will eventually learn how to handle
talking to other people around him. There are guide to educational games

HIGH SCHOOL
around that can be used that he can play to help increase his social skills even
more.
6. Promote physical activities
Contrary to the common belief that video games will make your child
clumsy, there are some video games that will require your child to perform
physical activities. If your child is not interested in playing outside, why not
introduce him online virtual sports. These includes basketball, tennis,
volleyball, boxing, skateboarding and so on. Using consoles, your child will
experience outdoor activities even when he is alone and inside his room. Later
on, if he is already enjoying this kind of sports, then convince him to try it
with his friends too.
7. Reduce stress
Studying can be really stressful for your child. Sometimes, stressing
him out instead of letting him enjoy will push him more to hate his studies.
Giving him the freedom to play his games will reduce his stress. This will
increase his positive vibes and will attract good mood. When this happens, it
will be easy for you to convince your child to study and finish his homework
Playing video games is not bad. What makes it bad is the addiction in playing
too much video games. There’s a difference. Just like any other, play
moderately and have fun! (Alyzza Sanchez, 2017)

Mobile Legends Game is made by China Bamboo Curtain aka China
or China. Mobile Legends game created by Chinese developer Moonton or
Shanghai Moonton Technology Co., Ltd. Moonton is headquartered in
Shanghai, China. (Moonton, Mobile Legend, 2016). Mobile Legend one type
of MOBA (Massive Online Battle Arena) is a type of online game that
combines two types of games namely RTS (Real Time Strategy) and RPG
(Role Playing Game) where players run one character from two teams
opposite to the goal to destroy the opponent's headquarters. Each character
which is played has a role with strength and weakness each other so
prosecuted for cooperate with team to win the game (Funk, 2013).
We have to admit that many of us loves to have some fun playing
online games in solo play or with our friends. And with a strategy Multi-player
Online Battle Arena kind of a game you’ll sure be hooked up with it for hours.
This category of game was first introduced in a PC and a lot of gamers find it
great to measure one’s skill of a real player when it comes to the gamer
reaction time, critical thinking and strategies to win the game. Nevertheless,
it’ll measure ones’ sportsmanship which is a true quality of a real gamer.
(Arjay Aragon, 2017)
Let me tell you a story, a story of how I nearly lost my mind playing
MLBB. Mind you, I'm not writing this to discourage MLBB players or tell you

HIGH SCHOOL
that MOBA is a horrible thing, but I am trying to address a challenge I think
most hard gamers would go through when they're deeply committed to the
game.
I started playing MLBB as a casual gamer, not really trying to win but
just loving and admiring the gameplay and the teamwork. I wanted to choose
one hero, just one, to play with for the rest of the time I'd spend on MLBB
because I thought I wouldn't stay interested in the game for too long. I was
wrong.
My addiction began when I started going on rank and managed to
reach Master II in just a week. This was possible with the help of another
gamer, who later on left the game for the same reason I am writing this post.
He was lucky to have had the will power to stop himself. I, however, was not
that fortunate. But even before I began ranked, I had a feeling that I would be
completely hooked on the game. Now, I had been previously addicted to a lot
of other games (MKX, Tekken, MAME games, Pokemon), but the
convenience of having a game played on your very own mobile (and such a
super awesome game at that) was what really got me drawn to Mobile
Legends.
When I started playing ranked, I had initially wanted to see how far I
could go while my interest in MLBB was still at its peak. Slowly, I began to
lose track of time, losing sight of everything and everyone around me. This
may sound dramatic, but to me it felt that way. I couldn't think of anything

HIGH SCHOOL
other than Mobile Legends. I was hooked on their game, and it seemed that I
wouldn't be losing interest anytime soon. I compromised my time with my
family, friends, and my studies. I didn't notice that I was slowly changing, but
everyone else around me did.
My parents had to have a 1-on-1 session with me. They were worried
that the game was affecting my health (I could play for three days with little or
no sleep, and practically 1 snack in an entire day). They were worried that I
was becoming an addict to the game, and they warned me to stop playing or it
would ruin my life. I thought they were being over-dramatic, as all parents go.
A number of times, my mom had uninstalled the game in hopes of
discouraging me from playing, but it didn't. I would re-install the game over
and over again, patiently reloading all the game data into the phone as I fed
my unhealthy addiction.
Things got out of hand when I started installing the game into every
phone I could get my hands on. My parents, my friends, anyone that I knew
had a MLBB app with my account linked to it. I always found it frustrating
how you'd have to reach LV 8 before you could change to your linked
account, but I didn't complain. In school, I spent more time researching on
hero gameplays and builds than actually doing school work. I drastically
lagged behind on all my assignments and procrastinated to the extreme, to the
point where I was sure I would fail all of my courses. But that didn't stop me,

HIGH SCHOOL
somehow my mind was only hardwired for MLBB. My friends started
noticing that I was distancing myself from everyone else (which was strange
to them because I was a hyperactive extrovert who talked to everyone and
anyone), and they began to worry. One of them told me about, but I ignored
them. Nothing could stop me from reaching Mythic, and I was determined to
get there before the end of the season.
My addiction had changed my entire personality. I was becoming more
aggressive (not to people, but to the mobile phone I was playing on), and
became a toxic player in every team that I was put in. I smashed 3 phones in
one week. Had my tablet repaired after I broke the LCD, then broke it again 2
days later because I was lagging pretty badly. People were afraid of giving me
their phones, for fear of having to buy a new one. I converted a lot of people
into playing Mobile Legends (If I was a sales rep for the game, the developers
would be making millions), but in the process I was losing my sense of reality.
I became emotionally unstable, and would often miss playing MLBB even if I
stopped playing for just a few hours. The bright student who carried a high
GPA and a good record was suddenly a mosh pit of doomed failure,
disappointment and depression. Right now, I'm pretty much trying to salvage
whatever I can after recovering from the addiction. I'm getting back on track
with school, putting a little more effort than I should be. I'm determined to
turn my life around. MLBB will always be a part of my life, but I have learnt
that some things should be put first before a MOBA app. I've learnt how to

HIGH SCHOOL
manage my life and my time the hard way, through my MLBB addiction. And
I'm advising everyone who might be struggling with the same thing to please
play in moderation. I'm just sharing my experiences here so others can learn
from it. You may be a wiz and balancing your gaming with everything else,
and that's great, but if you're like me and you're struggling with a gaming
addiction, I'm just letting you know that you're not alone. (Epixiie94, 2018)
