12 Reasons Indonesians Like to Play Mobile Legends

Before we discuss the reasons people play Mobile Legends, let’s flash back first. The year 2021 was a year of victory for Arena of Valor when calculated from the number of mobile game players who downloaded the MOBA games. However, the number of downloads has not been able to beat the number of players who play the first-ranked MOBA mobile game in Indonesia, Mobile Legends.

There are many factors that cause mobile gamers to be reluctant to move from Mobile Legends even though they are often hit by slanted issues and the emergence of new competitors such as AOV. Some of the reasons for the boom in Mobile Legends include the following.

Flexible Play Anywhere

Mobile Legends, which incidentally is a mobile game, has a flexible nature, aka it can be played anywhere and anytime. This is one of the distinct advantages of MOBA mobile games which was finally able to get rid of the popularity of legendary MOBA games, such as DOTA 2.

In fact, many DOTA 2 players have switched to Mobile Legends, instead of the other way around. So are you one of the Dota 2 players who switched to the Mobile Legends game too?

Not a Pay to Win Game

In Indonesia, Mobile Legends can boom because it doesn’t use the Pay To Win system (which pays the winner). Expensive items such as skins don’t have much effect on the course of the game, let alone increase hero stats. In fact, now it’s only made as a hero’s sweetener.

Can Be Played With Friends

There is an online multiplayer feature in Mobile Legends. This is a feature that must exist in every popular online game, because most of those who play online games want to play together with their friends or in modern terms “play together” (mabar).

Pretty Easy Gameplay

MLBB games are quite easy to play because the gameplay is simple and it is equipped with many tutorials to adapt to the game. In fact, currently, tutorials are also provided by Moonton outside of games which can be accessed via Google Assistant.

Easy Game Controller

Can Play on Low End Smartphones

Mobile Legends has a size that is not too big when compared to similar genre mobile games. The initial data size is 500MB, which gets bigger with updates. However, even so, it doesn’t really affect low end smartphones, because it can still be played there.

Fair Game System

The fair game system owned by Mobile Legends is the next reason people play mobile legends. Here there are no overpowered heroes who, for example, are able to kill 5 opposing heroes alone at once. Need the help of teammates to be able to make savage in the game.

Unique Heroes of Various Countries

Moonton as the developer of MLBB knows the right way to attract the hearts of players and potential players. In order to gain the loyalty of old players and be noticed by potential players, this Chinese game company created many Mobile Legends hero characters who were inspired by figures in the countries that play these Mobile games, such as GatotKaca from Indonesia, and Badang from Malaysia.
