Lately, the popularity of Mobile Legends has been increasing after previously experiencing a decline caused by the presence of PUBG Mobile. Mobile Legends, or what is often abbreviated as ML, has been released since 3 years ago lol. However, this game is still one of the most popular mobile games in Indonesia. With the same genre and concept as DOTA 2, ML offers something really fun and addictive at the same time. And here are 7 interesting facts about ML, as reported by various sources.
Talking about Mobile Legends, there are some interesting facts about Mobile Legends that are rarely known by the players. For more details, see the following review.
1. The Android version of Mobile Legends precedes the iOS version
Mobile Legends was originally present on the Android OS before being released on iOS on July 11, 2022. This is of course quite strange, because most of the existing games will be released on iOS first before launching to Android, or released simultaneously.
Meanwhile, the iOS version of Mobile Legends was released four months later, on November 7, 2022.
2. Have Many Fans in Indonesia
Besides PUBG Mobile and Free Fire, Mobile Legends is one of the most popular games today. So it’s no wonder why Indonesia is able to appear superior in various international tournaments.
Mobile Legends has become an extraordinary phenomenon among gamers in Indonesia. So it is not surprising that Indonesia in the end managed to become the country with the most Mobile Legends players worldwide. To appreciate this, Moonton even released the original Indonesian Tank hero named Gatotkaca.
Gatotkaca himself is one of the hero characters in the Indonesian puppet world. Through this fact, Gatotkaca became the first Indonesian puppet character who could become a hero as well as a playable character in a video game.
3. MOBA Game Using Analog
This popular game turned out to be the first MOBA game that brought analog technology. This technology is presented to move the character hero that it uses, so it can be easier to play.
Mobile Legends does use Analog for the controller. That’s probably because Mobile Legends is designed for mobile devices that do have small screens. However, it makes some users feel uncomfortable because they can’t move their heroes freely. There is even a term like “How come Moba is analog?”.
4. Frequently Update
As a game with a very large number of players, Moonton inevitably keeps updating Mobile Legends regularly. This is done so that players do not get bored quickly. Moreover, in every update, Moonton brings with it new features, new heroes, and also bug fixes.
Every week, Mobile Legends provides various major and minor updates. Usually, in these updates there are several new skins for certain heroes. It doesn’t stop there, there are various events provided later that make this game even more exciting.
5. Have the Most Heroes
Currently, Mobile Legends has many heroes that we can play. This hero is divided into several types, including:
Saber, Karina, Fanny, Hayabusa, Natalia, Lancelot, Helcurt, etc.
Tigreal, Akai, Franco, Minotaur, Lolita, Johnson, Gatotkaca, Grock, Hylos, etc.

6. Have Many Cheap Heroes with Expensive Skins
Actually, almost most (or maybe all) heroes in Mobile Legends have a cheap purchase price. Unfortunately, even though the purchase price is cheap, the skin price is extraordinarily expensive.
For example, Bane can be purchased for 6,500 battle points. However, one of the skins named Count Dracula actually has a price of 1089 diamonds which, when converted into the original currency, becomes around Rp. 300 thousand.
