Moonton’s Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has been known as the most successful MOBA games for mobile devices for almost a decade now. The developers are known for pushing huge balance patches to maintain the meta state of the game. This is done due to the fact that esports playability is at an all-time high among Mobile Legends: Bang Bang players. Plus, the game is always more fun to play when more characters see action, unlike a select few that dominate the meta. 

In the latest update, titled “1.8.24”, another set of balance adjustments can be seen for multiple heroes, as well as the Battlefield mechanics itself. Aurora, the Ice Mage, will also be getting a completed rework surrounding her active and passive abilities. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is available to be downloaded and installed as a free-to-play game on both the Google Play Store and iOS App Store. Let’s check out the details of the new update.
