There's no sense to mobile legends being in trouble. The major player base is not in the USA. This is a game played at the south east Asia and the south Americas. Places where the mobile competition is not winnable for wild rift
You're right. But frankly, western content creators in general do not have the capability to even think of the possibility that the western market might not be the priority for a developer. Just look at how western creators "assess" riots policies. Whenever riot releases a controversial monetization update, these content creators go on r/leagueoflegends and pull up "data"/"community feedback" that almost always, fully exclusively belong to the western player base. They then go on to make "predictions" solely based from the feedback and data they get from their own community (echochamber). I dont know why riot would ever take "feedbacks" from these people regarding topics such as monetization seriously when nearly ALL of their "feedbacks": 1-only take into account the budget constraints of people they know personally. (They can't fathom the idea of whales being the priority) 2-never even consider how a change could affect any other server other than NA/EUW. 3-never take chinese player's feedbacks into account even though they are the majority.(tbf it is probably fairly hard to do) 4-form all their oppinions on what they think is going to happen using anything BUT economics/business management knowledge. This game's community is like a less extreme version of asmongold's fanbase. They want every game developer to conform to their beliefs and will shamelessy&ignorantly "trash on" anything that doesn't conform to their beliefs, regardless of whether they are the minority, whether their beliefs are absurd, whether their proposals have any economical merit to them. TL;DR: These content creators adamantly believe/ act like US and EU are the only regions that matter. Players from far east, CIS, South america, SEA and other regions are not included in their echo chambers/are grossly undernumbered compared to western.

Well something like that even happened to aphelios i guess riot sucks in creativity but funny thing is have moonton copyrighted any of it ( damn have they even thought 'bout it before lawsuits droped ) but having tencent employe as your director sure isn't bice anyway.
I don't understand why riot is getting greedier with hextech chest, now more than ever you are most likely not going to get a skin that you would buy. With like 170 champions and each one with 3~10 skins, chances are really slim.
maybe it has something with corpo financial director, who previously worked pretty high in one of the greediest companies in the world, becoming a CEO of Riot Games. Also supposedly heavily influencing and experimenting with Valorant's monetization before it released so... I mean there is no gurantee, but it seems that is likely current CEO continuing to do what he wants to do. After having succes with Valorant. (Barely earnable characters, useless lvl that gives you number and a board around the number, REALLY costly skins, like 70-100 dollars Skin bundles and that's with a bundle discounts, those bundles are also time limited. And all weapon skins can be bought later, but obviously without discount. And only 4 skins can appear in shop per day (Randomly chosen) not bundles, just skin for exact weapon in each slot. So you can play for a year+ and never see a skin that you wanted just cuz of randomness. FOMO is insane. As well as prices. And People keep buying them. BP that is here for the whole act. Provides some dogshit effectless skins for free. Or less dogshit yet still effectless skins for paid BP. Oh and when you buy skin/bundle you don't get full skin with animations/effects. You need to unlock them with special currency for each skin separately. Which is earnable only through BP. (there's free part of it, but you need to grind 50 lvls and then some more to get any decent amount.) So uh... yeah... Riot were okay with financial lossess for reputation and establishing league IP to broader audience with riot forge, Arcane, LoR and such. But not anymore it seems. Now they want MONEY. And we can't be sure that they need it for projects and not to just excessievly fill higher ups pockets now.

No, the ban was very much real. On January 19, TikTok either had to divest or go completely dark. TikTok CEO said they’re not for sale so the only other option was for them to go dark. This was actual legislation that was passed by 80% of Congress and unanimously upheld by the Supreme Court. Even though ByteDance is an international company that’s based in China and 60% of their ownership is international and 40% of it is owned by different American investors.

Yeah, very few people play moba on their phones in the West. Which is understandable tbh, why the hell would someone play a complex game like mobas on a small touchscreen
Western players can't fathom the possibility of other players preference's being different then theirs. Just look at the comment replying to yours... At least 70% of the western playerbase is an echochamber. So if you see western players ignorantly yapping about a game that focuses on eastern players, just know that they don't know any better and do not care enough to consider how other players are affected.
@@justhair17 smoother graphics than old pc games such as lol, everybody has phones while pc are luxury items, gamelength has respect for the average person, etc etc. You can make complex games without them being hard to pilot
I love when my favourite lore channel makes a video months ago (years?) saying they will be moving away from lore and more into other things... stay up to date if they rreally are your favourite channel for lore. lol
I'm a Watcher of Realms player (Moonton) and it was hell having all our USA servers shut down :( It's back on now, but no one knows how long for, and ppl are going straight up F2P now due to the uncertainty.
The guy you claimed was a J4 ripoff is actually a Xin Zhao ripoff, his original name was literally Xin Zhao and they were forced to change it shortly after release. Amusingly, his kit is way more effective as an initiator than Xin because he can toss his target behind him instead of just knocking them up. Also, honestly speaking while the basic controls are more clunky than WR (or were, I haven't played in years now) a lot of the kits are just frankly more interesting to play. They combined Akali and Talon into Gusion and he is fun af to play. Orianna got combined with LeBlanc so she has mobility in not only being able to dash but being able to teleport to her ball, letting her nuke and juke in ways that are reminiscent of Zed plays. There are more, but I think the difference in design goals is becoming more apparent. WR's goal is to adapt PC while trying to retain as much as possible of the original design. MLBB's goal is to make a fun mobile moba and if that means stealing the fun parts from LoL then so be it.
I agree. Riot mentioned that they will withdraw asian servers in Garena because of gacha system and so whatever they called. Now, they actually do the same thing aaaaaand 10x expensive😅😅😅 I kinda mad after they announced the gacha system in PC.
Just a unpopular opinion, The rewards in Garena was much better than what Riot has given so far. For the money you spend in Garena you can get lot more skins and rewards.
Okay! For this part 3:30. I'd like to tell LoL players the differences between the characters shown Aamon (The duke of Paxley) is a jungler magic burst assassin whose kit revolves around being camouflaged, setting shards on the ground by using his skills. Then blowing up people with his ult. The only thing close to Irelia is floating weapons. Terizla (The Excutionar of the Abyss) is a tanky fighter that gets tankier the lower his hp gets (Gains 1% damage reduction for every 2.5% hp lost for a max 20% plus hero lvl (max 15.) so 35% when maxed) and who's bread and butter is his second skill which is Aatroxs Q but you don't need to hit sweet spots to deal lots of damage. Mixed with Fighter Emblem set (MLBB's version of runes, fighter gives spell vamp, defence and adaptive attack) and you get a drain tank with no mobility besides a speed boost on his second skill. Which is basically Mundo Q but with the visuals of Ornn Q and also much more interesting the the previous mentioned skills. Only similarity to Jayce is big hammer, and Terizla's hammer is an Excutionars hammer, not a fancy tech one. Khaleed (The desert scimitar) is older than Akshan by about a year or so. He's a melee hero who has Ambessa W before Ambessa was a thing, Yi meditate, and his ult is is similer to Voli but without the stariod part. Only similarity is both being middle eastern in inspiration. Argus (The fallen angel) is not remotely close to Aatrox in the slightest besides sprouting wings when in ult. He has Naut Q but it always pulls you so it's basically a dash, and his second skill is just Yas basic Q but with Nocturnes mist thingy that makes him faster walking to targets. And his ult is Trynda but with a cleans. Oh, also any damage he takes while ulted is returned as HP once ult is done. He's also garbage early but becomes a beast late… if he doesn't get mauled by the enemy EXP laner (MLBB's Top lane.)
Side note: the "Bang Bang" in Mobile Legends Bang Bang was hurriedly implemented by Moonton when they returned back after being removed by Play Store as a means to avoid any copyright lawsuits and it was originally named "Mobile Legends 5v5 MOBA" prior to the whole ordeal. What's weird is that "Bang Bang" is a word not to be associated in MOBA (it's more associated with FPS), i think they should have thought of a more dignified sub-title for ML.
10:00 next they will up all skin prices by 10-50% and make a lotto to buy it for the normal price it was before more then before or slightly less then before xD
the only reason wildrift light is still on is because of the lawsuit money they got from this lawsuits because i know for sure they dont have that many players in wildrift for the game to be playable let alone having players buy their dumb skins. i once played against a full bot lobby literal ai enemies in my plat lobby and now all i think is if my teammates are ai too. plus im not the only one with this issue as master and diamond players are also reporting having to play with and against ai players.
I mean, Wild Rift revenue is 2.5 times that ripoff moba if we include China. So yeah, East Asia loves gacha. LMAO, all their top games have a gacha system in place. XD
Finally people are appreciating what we had before back in the day with the Garena server and i totally agree! Now that i think about it, garena server is much more better than we had right now.
In Genshin, you spend money to get the hot waifu so you can simp for her aka p2p. In League, it's just a skin, dude. If someone can't control themselves over a sh1tty skin, I cant blame Riot for exploiting them for saving them from their money.
@@liqiye3611 in genshin you have the choice to not spend money... but in league you don't have the choice of getting a new high quality skin for 10,15,20 dollars in the future and by that i mean the effort will be put into gacha skins and new legendaries will be worse than old epics
Garena server is way cheaper and gives way better discounts. They even gave me a secret shop for veigar back then when I got 15 kills without dying in 3 normal games consecutively
I play a Moonton gacha called Watcher of Realms, and that was taken down for about a day. But this got me thinking. Same thing might happen to Tencent someday. They've already been labelled a Chinese Military Company by the U.S. Defense Department. Who is to say, the U.S. Congress, or more likely Trump, won't one day say Tencent can't do business in the U.S. anymore. Right-wingers worried about the government coming after their guns. The reality is they are coming after our games, not guns.
I used to play ml back when the game first launched and back then instead of mobile legends bang bang, it was just called mobile legends. 5x and 4x kill streak would give you quadrakill and penta kill announcement (just like league), they changed that though because I went back a few years ago and quadra became “maniac” and penta became “savage”, besides these there were a lot more similarities to league, calling ml bootleg league is not far fetched in my opinion, although lol and ml of the current days have some differences, back then was something else.
It used to be just “mobile legend” after the lawsuit they just added the word “bang bang” which is odd but what can we do lol And yes i play mlbb cause I dont have a good enough pc to play league of legends at the time, portability is also an edge
If you play both game, wild rift is close to PC game while Ml, HoK and other popular moba game use different approach which is less complex and fast pacing game that is more suited for mobile player@@akechigoro3340
@akechigoro3340 I'm not really a pro or hard core gamer so I wasn't aware of LoL before 😅 Also, (correct me if im wrong) LoL Wildrift wasn't available back in 2017 (I'm from the Philippines, Ive been watching this yt channel because I love Arcane and wanted to get in the lore).
bro MLBB only played by indonesian and probably filipinos lmao, there's no competition to begin with. Same reason why SEA esport is shiet on PC mobas, they were not interested in PC to begin with. Not really sure but filipinos also divide playerbase to LoL and Dota in SEA server so it just Indonesian populate mlbb most likely
I don’t know. People were upset about THE SAME thing between PalWorld and Pokemon. Now Nintendo sued then and all of sudden everyone is upset with Nintendo and hates them for trying to get it shut down.
Well if the rose knight will appear, they will have to do that way, it wont collide with lancelot...otherwise the rioters might have a lawsuit coming to their faces...xd
Both LoL and Dota 2 come from the same game that is Warcraft III frozen throne mod called "Defense of the ancients(Dota)" which is not owned by valve. The reason behind the similiarities because the one who worked on LoL also was part of the dota mod team the same way the some people also went and made Dota 2 today. Valve can't sue Riot other because LoL come first on 2009 while Dota 2 was on 2013. Even thought both game use Dota as inpiration is was just community Mod of Warcraft game which Blizzard can't really enforce anything. Also LoL was different enough from Dota to be called copying and Valve then accuired the Dota and make Dota 2
@@InstantNoodle-x3j I see. So even Blizzard can't sue no one. But can't this mobile company just argue that these archeotypes are common enough that they cannot be copyrighted? Although I think copyright law is too complicated for me so idk.
@@Keviamaya if you mean Moonton who owned MLBB. Yes there was case of lawsuit by Riot I don't really look up the detail but as you can see the game is still exist and now it is the most played moba mobile globally even tho it's career is literally built from ripping of other game. As off today if you follow MLBB you will notice they still copying other game not just LoL and Dota but their mobile competitor HoK
I'm from EU and i used to play dota1 then league. Been playing MLBB for 6 years. It's better than League and its not even close. On top of that some characters in mlbb came out before riot ripped them off (e.g. Yone). Mlbb has much better dynamic and the game feels so much better than league. You have insane damage/mobility and the map is small and it feels more like arena with moba elements than a moba and you can carry like crazy by urself. Btw you're showing Khaleed/Akshan when Khaleed came out before Akshan? Lol. League has cool lore but in terms of gameplay mlbb gaps it so hard its not even close
MLBB being banned in the US doesnt mean anything, 99% of the playerbase is in SEA alone, that market is all they need to stay alive so theyre not exactly in trouble. Hell at this point I'll believe that riot may kill league before MLBB even dies just cause of how bs theyve been treating the game and its community for the past decade
Hi Necrit, A few things. MLBB was already big and established when WR was introduced at least here in PH. Back then, WR was a promising up and comer in the mobile space, a lot of players saw its potential, even on the "hardcore" MLBB spaces. The problem that's very visible to a lot of people is how WR grew its market. The WR team was not able to produce a great grassroots scene with its own talent, but instead opted to have already successful people who came from MLBB and other spaces jump in and try WR out. This was initially successful, but eventually did not pan out in the long run bec most of the people they asked to jump in have audiences that's already "invested" in MLBB. I think MLBB would still have its prime markets even if it pulls out of the US entirely. There are regions like SEA where they get a lot of their income from.
@@makiveliyus Did you forgot that Indonesia was the only country where this mobile game went absolute thrived before Malaysia and even the Philippines. True story by the way if you don't believe me cause Indonesia and Malaysia are milking on their esports success story into films and even TV series.
MLBB is a good game, regardless of what these comments say. It has a healthier community, at least compared to league players, and it DOES have some unique character ideas. I pray it doesn't get banned. Also, out all of the images of the characters Necrit showed comparing league champions and MLBB heros, none of the characters are the same gameplay wise, and most of them didn't even look similar, albeit Kaleed and Akshan do look similar. The game doesn't deserve to die, but you know what would be interesting? Riot buying moonton and maybe combining the two games, because there are some things MLBB does that is better than League. It would be the ultimate collaboration.
That's why I'm playing Honor of Kings (a mobile moba) with an emulator on PC. I tried all the available native PC mobas and the only one I found enjoyable was Heroes of the Storm but since it was abandoned the player-base is mostly gone so 90% of the games now are sweat fests.
Tbh thats one of the reasons why Mobas that try to copy the League/Dota/Whatever formula are dying/dont succeed for long if at all. Its possible to create a moba that doesnt have a ton of the unecessary bloat that a game like league has while still having fun and interesting champions and strategic gameplay. But people are too obsessed with basically copying league or crying that a game isnt copying league lmao. So devs get the wrong idea and repeatedly fail at developing a successful game.
I play league and mobile legends and the examples of champions “inspired” from league are not correct. For example akshan came after khaleed. And some champions from league have some abilities that you can find in mlbb like Samira’a ult that combine 2 ults abilities from mlbb (wanwan for the activation system and claude for the ability graphics). Just saying
I am in PH. I played League of Legends since S8 and due to the merger of the servers, the LOL ping drastically increased to the point that it became completely unplayable for me. From 7 ping, it raised to 50-200 ping, which normally plays around 150 ping (whole game). So, I searched for similar MOBAs and now I am playing Mobile legends. Since the console is mobile, not a lot of players can and would type to chat making the experience far less toxic than league. So thank you Riot for giving me the opportunity to find Mobile Legends and I hope you don't fix the ping issue in the Philippines so many more PH bros would play this game.
riot competition? man is JUST USA not rest of the world haha, is a lot of players? maybe but just like league itself in asian MBLBB is strong in asia, in the case of MBL is pretty popular in third world countries too cause is much easy to run in old Smartphones
Tik tok is from China. Apps steal your data and gain a shit load of money for the Us, and most of the time that data is sold to 3rd parties in China. Tik tok, however, is just getting the data to China directly, meaning The Us is not getting money, so they are banning it because greed

At least 70% of the western playerbase is an echochamber. So if you see western players ignorantly yapping about a game that focuses on eastern players, just know that they don't know any better and do not care enough to consider how other players are affected.
@@justhair17 smoother graphics than old pc games such as lol, everybody has phones while pc are luxury items, gamelength has respect for the average person, etc etc. You can make complex games without them being hard to pilot
@@justhair17You should try playing games on your phones too. That way, it isn't just the controllers that get smashed through a wall 😂😂
@varumvio everyone has a pc or a notebook tho and its so much better to play on it
2:35 a bit of a suprise when I saw a Vietnamese post here 😂😂
I love when my favourite lore channel talks about lore
To be fair he ran out of lore to talk about
Thats to damn bad
irl lore
I love when my favourite lore channel makes a video months ago (years?) saying they will be moving away from lore and more into other things... stay up to date if they rreally are your favourite channel for lore. lol
This seems more like meta/news lore (he made a video talking about how his channel will now be a mix of ingame lore and other content)
I'm a Watcher of Realms player (Moonton) and it was hell having all our USA servers shut down :( It's back on now, but no one knows how long for, and ppl are going straight up F2P now due to the uncertainty.
The guy you claimed was a J4 ripoff is actually a Xin Zhao ripoff, his original name was literally Xin Zhao and they were forced to change it shortly after release. Amusingly, his kit is way more effective as an initiator than Xin because he can toss his target behind him instead of just knocking them up.
Also, honestly speaking while the basic controls are more clunky than WR (or were, I haven't played in years now) a lot of the kits are just frankly more interesting to play. They combined Akali and Talon into Gusion and he is fun af to play. Orianna got combined with LeBlanc so she has mobility in not only being able to dash but being able to teleport to her ball, letting her nuke and juke in ways that are reminiscent of Zed plays.
There are more, but I think the difference in design goals is becoming more apparent. WR's goal is to adapt PC while trying to retain as much as possible of the original design. MLBB's goal is to make a fun mobile moba and if that means stealing the fun parts from LoL then so be it.
Yun Zhao*
Zilong is more similiar to Master Yi than anything imo
Nah, their goal is to leech off of unsuspecting players cause damn, those skins are overpriced 😂
Zilong main spotted.
Eh, just because they make their champs into mobile assassin doesn't mean that it's more enjoyable than WR.
10:03 A year has past and safe to say garena was much better than riot 😂 at least they give a lot of discounts and free skin events
I agree. Riot mentioned that they will withdraw asian servers in Garena because of gacha system and so whatever they called. Now, they actually do the same thing aaaaaand 10x expensive😅😅😅 I kinda mad after they announced the gacha system in PC.
Wow 2 videos under 15 minutes in a row, new record 🎉
Just a unpopular opinion, The rewards in Garena was much better than what Riot has given so far. For the money you spend in Garena you can get lot more skins and rewards.
garena was way better than riot is now, the people pearl clutching over gacha in garena didnt experience it themselves
Okay and what gave garena a greenlight of stealing other ideas ? Those reward and event doesnt make garena have a right to copy riot games 😂
@@edasanyt he doesn't know😂
Man mr beasts dead inside fake smile gets more creepy every year lmfao
every time i think im gonna give Rift a chance on my phone, i log in and have to tap throught like 8 diffrent pop windows and then i log off again...
Okay! For this part 3:30. I'd like to tell LoL players the differences between the characters shown
Aamon (The duke of Paxley) is a jungler magic burst assassin whose kit revolves around being camouflaged, setting shards on the ground by using his skills. Then blowing up people with his ult. The only thing close to Irelia is floating weapons.
Terizla (The Excutionar of the Abyss) is a tanky fighter that gets tankier the lower his hp gets (Gains 1% damage reduction for every 2.5% hp lost for a max 20% plus hero lvl (max 15.) so 35% when maxed) and who's bread and butter is his second skill which is Aatroxs Q but you don't need to hit sweet spots to deal lots of damage. Mixed with Fighter Emblem set (MLBB's version of runes, fighter gives spell vamp, defence and adaptive attack) and you get a drain tank with no mobility besides a speed boost on his second skill. Which is basically Mundo Q but with the visuals of Ornn Q and also much more interesting the the previous mentioned skills. Only similarity to Jayce is big hammer, and Terizla's hammer is an Excutionars hammer, not a fancy tech one.
Khaleed (The desert scimitar) is older than Akshan by about a year or so. He's a melee hero who has Ambessa W before Ambessa was a thing, Yi meditate, and his ult is is similer to Voli but without the stariod part. Only similarity is both being middle eastern in inspiration.
Argus (The fallen angel) is not remotely close to Aatrox in the slightest besides sprouting wings when in ult. He has Naut Q but it always pulls you so it's basically a dash, and his second skill is just Yas basic Q but with Nocturnes mist thingy that makes him faster walking to targets. And his ult is Trynda but with a cleans. Oh, also any damage he takes while ulted is returned as HP once ult is done. He's also garbage early but becomes a beast late… if he doesn't get mauled by the enemy EXP laner (MLBB's Top lane.)
Oh Hell Yeah, my main Alistar getting the new lore. I'm all for it.
Side note: the "Bang Bang" in Mobile Legends Bang Bang was hurriedly implemented by Moonton when they returned back after being removed by Play Store as a means to avoid any copyright lawsuits and it was originally named "Mobile Legends 5v5 MOBA" prior to the whole ordeal.
What's weird is that "Bang Bang" is a word not to be associated in MOBA (it's more associated with FPS), i think they should have thought of a more dignified sub-title for ML.
But if Elon Musk owned this game, will he covert the game with the shooters element as well?
@@Vernardo turning ML into a shooter rather than a MOBA? No. Helping them to create an FPS spin off to milk for more cash? That's a possibility.
10:00 next they will up all skin prices by 10-50% and make a lotto to buy it for the normal price it was before more then before or slightly less then before xD
Garena servers were extremely generous. Which is why Riot shut them down.
If they come for byte dance eventually they will come for tencent. Rito started stealing back with yone.
the only reason wildrift light is still on is because of the lawsuit money they got from this lawsuits because i know for sure they dont have that many players in wildrift for the game to be playable let alone having players buy their dumb skins. i once played against a full bot lobby literal ai enemies in my plat lobby and now all i think is if my teammates are ai too. plus im not the only one with this issue as master and diamond players are also reporting having to play with and against ai players.
There trash but they are definitely real players
Do you think those lawsuits money mean something to Riot? LMAO
I mean, Wild Rift revenue is 2.5 times that ripoff moba if we include China. So yeah, East Asia loves gacha. LMAO, all their top games have a gacha system in place. XD
Tencent sued Tencent
@@iPhelio wrong. It was Tencent sued Bytedance. After all, Tencent didn't owned TikTok.
BRING THE FREE SKINS AND CHEST BACK!
my conspiracy theory is that league is pushing all the gacha because they knew the ripoff was gonna get ban
nah, look at Valorant's shitty monetization and prices.
Which supposedly were influenced by Riot's finanical director, who is now a CEO at Riot.
wdym at 1:33 peace on planet earths? its only for americans leave the earth alone xD
THE AMOUNT OF GACHA MECHANIC IN MLBB IS DISGUSTING 🤮
Every game in Asia is infested by hard to get gachas to the point that this format seeped in the US as well.
Even Honor of Kings do the same in order to steal ML** banks into their character skin collections
Finally people are appreciating what we had before back in the day with the Garena server and i totally agree! Now that i think about it, garena server is much more better than we had right now.
The fact Genshin can be considered a "rival" to League of Legends is insanity to me. Let's just hope this could actually set precedent to stop this .
In Genshin, you spend money to get the hot waifu so you can simp for her aka p2p. In League, it's just a skin, dude. If someone can't control themselves over a sh1tty skin, I cant blame Riot for exploiting them for saving them from their money.
@@liqiye3611 in genshin you have the choice to not spend money... but in league you don't have the choice of getting a new high quality skin for 10,15,20 dollars in the future and by that i mean the effort will be put into gacha skins and new legendaries will be worse than old epics
@@liqiye3611 Genshit is as P2W as they get.
@cristianb9557 this is pure hypocrisy. Saying in genshin u have choice but in league you don't is just ridiculous.
@@liqiye3611 tell me how do you get free pulls for leagues exalted banners 💀 in genshin you play the game and you get the pulls just by playing
Garena server is way cheaper and gives way better discounts. They even gave me a secret shop for veigar back then when I got 15 kills without dying in 3 normal games consecutively
The secret shop offered veigar skins with huge discount
Also gives you a hidden crypto miner without letting you know
@@crow9582 since when?
@@crow9582 thats the best part about china, wdym?
vainsglory will always be in my heart
I play a Moonton gacha called Watcher of Realms, and that was taken down for about a day. But this got me thinking. Same thing might happen to Tencent someday. They've already been labelled a Chinese Military Company by the U.S. Defense Department. Who is to say, the U.S. Congress, or more likely Trump, won't one day say Tencent can't do business in the U.S. anymore.
Right-wingers worried about the government coming after their guns. The reality is they are coming after our games, not guns.
I used to play ml back when the game first launched and back then instead of mobile legends bang bang, it was just called mobile legends. 5x and 4x kill streak would give you quadrakill and penta kill announcement (just like league), they changed that though because I went back a few years ago and quadra became “maniac” and penta became “savage”, besides these there were a lot more similarities to league, calling ml bootleg league is not far fetched in my opinion, although lol and ml of the current days have some differences, back then was something else.
Garena was heaven bro, bring us back
I agree. Garena has more cheap offers than Riot today😢
If league gave rewards for every gamebreaking bug in it, I would have every skin unlocked.
Tencent is next in the firing line. Also, Arcane is all stolen from Bloodborg.
My girlfriend plays mlbb and shes upset she cant or couldnt play it
the best thing made from ml is fanny basically camille e but with no cd
the character on the 3:42 is older than akshan
down the line seems bad things gonna happen to tencent owned games too, tencent is a chinese corp after all
Mobile Legends has always been a guilty pleasure of mine and for me, it's still banned as I looked on the app store just now.
I really like the shorter ~10 minutes videos
As a league player from garena, garena gave us so much more free loot and skins compared to riot games ever did 😂😂😂🥺😢😭
Thanks for talking about mobile legends I transferred from Mlbb to Lol this year ❤
Could MLBB even operate as a US-owned company? It seems like it would be so much easier for Riot US to sue MLBB in a US court.
It used to be just “mobile legend” after the lawsuit they just added the word “bang bang” which is odd but what can we do lol
And yes i play mlbb cause I dont have a good enough pc to play league of legends at the time, portability is also an edge
Why not play wild rift?
@@akechigoro3340 why play a dead game anyway?
If you play both game, wild rift is close to PC game while Ml, HoK and other popular moba game use different approach which is less complex and fast pacing game that is more suited for mobile player@@akechigoro3340
@akechigoro3340 I'm not really a pro or hard core gamer so I wasn't aware of LoL before 😅
Also, (correct me if im wrong) LoL Wildrift wasn't available back in 2017 (I'm from the Philippines, Ive been watching this yt channel because I love Arcane and wanted to get in the lore).
What IF Riots Buy them
The Garena days were right, they were just preparing us for the impending doom that is the 500 bucks skins now
under 15 min, damn. The legends are true
It was banned but it’s back now. Played it since 2018. My heart sank when it was banned. 😅

You should look into mlbb lore
@@EmuEmuchu did they copy Honor of Kings lore? So many Indonesians has surprisingly stole their lore for the wrong reason!
bro MLBB only played by indonesian and probably filipinos lmao, there's no competition to begin with.
Same reason why SEA esport is shiet on PC mobas, they were not interested in PC to begin with. Not really sure but filipinos also divide playerbase to LoL and Dota in SEA server so it just Indonesian populate mlbb most likely
I was part of the Garena days.... HATED IT
I don’t know. People were upset about THE SAME thing between PalWorld and Pokemon. Now Nintendo sued then and all of sudden everyone is upset with Nintendo and hates them for trying to get it shut down.
i mean... If Mr. Beast buys TikTok he is 100% making that game an NFT, crypto thing... 0 doubt
I mean if ML** did finally include NFT, I wouldn't be surprised to see Honor of Kings get the bigger bank on their pocket.
I actually enjoy long videos cause my commute is 30 or 45 minutes and I listen/watch your videos there.
Its like the Garena days but worse 😂😂😂
Well if the rose knight will appear, they will have to do that way, it wont collide with lancelot...otherwise the rioters might have a lawsuit coming to their faces...xd
Riot suing for copying their champs is really funny. Their champs "borrowed" a lot from DOTA, if anything Valve should be the one suing both.
Both LoL and Dota 2 come from the same game that is Warcraft III frozen throne mod called "Defense of the ancients(Dota)" which is not owned by valve. The reason behind the similiarities because the one who worked on LoL also was part of the dota mod team the same way the some people also went and made Dota 2 today. Valve can't sue Riot other because LoL come first on 2009 while Dota 2 was on 2013. Even thought both game use Dota as inpiration is was just community Mod of Warcraft game which Blizzard can't really enforce anything. Also LoL was different enough from Dota to be called copying and Valve then accuired the Dota and make Dota 2
@@InstantNoodle-x3j I see. So even Blizzard can't sue no one. But can't this mobile company just argue that these archeotypes are common enough that they cannot be copyrighted? Although I think copyright law is too complicated for me so idk.
@@Keviamaya if you mean Moonton who owned MLBB. Yes there was case of lawsuit by Riot I don't really look up the detail but as you can see the game is still exist and now it is the most played moba mobile globally even tho it's career is literally built from ripping of other game. As off today if you follow MLBB you will notice they still copying other game not just LoL and Dota but their mobile competitor HoK
I'm from EU and i used to play dota1 then league. Been playing MLBB for 6 years. It's better than League and its not even close. On top of that some characters in mlbb came out before riot ripped them off (e.g. Yone). Mlbb has much better dynamic and the game feels so much better than league. You have insane damage/mobility and the map is small and it feels more like arena with moba elements than a moba and you can carry like crazy by urself. Btw you're showing Khaleed/Akshan when Khaleed came out before Akshan? Lol. League has cool lore but in terms of gameplay mlbb gaps it so hard its not even close
dear competition of riot just dont put gatcha and hp stacking/tank meta in your game and you have won everything
SERIOUS QUESTION: when the MMO drops what race will you be? And in what region???
Photogenic and economic weight XD
Riot games to Garena: '' You can't do that to our player, we need them....Wait, how much did you make again😐😐!!!''
they should of bann TT
@@nightsunglaze well, according to Trump, not yet.
Yes in asia.. mainly SEA Mobile legends is bigger than wildrift...
Correction, were banned. The ban was lifted l.
Sure are you?
@@SaQiVirtual for now because it was either Mr. Beast or Elon Musk will planned to buy the ownership of the mobile game you mentioned.
MLBB being banned in the US doesnt mean anything, 99% of the playerbase is in SEA alone, that market is all they need to stay alive so theyre not exactly in trouble. Hell at this point I'll believe that riot may kill league before MLBB even dies just cause of how bs theyve been treating the game and its community for the past decade
They should make the selling of the company a gacha system :L
Hi Necrit,
A few things.
MLBB was already big and established when WR was introduced at least here in PH.
Back then, WR was a promising up and comer in the mobile space, a lot of players saw its potential, even on the "hardcore" MLBB spaces.
The problem that's very visible to a lot of people is how WR grew its market.
The WR team was not able to produce a great grassroots scene with its own talent, but instead opted to have already successful people who came from MLBB and other spaces jump in and try WR out.
This was initially successful, but eventually did not pan out in the long run bec most of the people they asked to jump in have audiences that's already "invested" in MLBB.
I think MLBB would still have its prime markets even if it pulls out of the US entirely. There are regions like SEA where they get a lot of their income from.
@@makiveliyus Did you forgot that Indonesia was the only country where this mobile game went absolute thrived before Malaysia and even the Philippines. True story by the way if you don't believe me cause Indonesia and Malaysia are milking on their esports success story into films and even TV series.
Who care abut USA you know MLBB is more famous outside USA anyway
Oh no he done it
Let's also point out that Tencent got classified as a military company by the US. Lol. IDC just funny.
If mobile legand pulled a rivalz it could do some EMOTIONAL DAMAGE to riot.
only in the US.......meh
MLBB is a good game, regardless of what these comments say. It has a healthier community, at least compared to league players, and it DOES have some unique character ideas. I pray it doesn't get banned. Also, out all of the images of the characters Necrit showed comparing league champions and MLBB heros, none of the characters are the same gameplay wise, and most of them didn't even look similar, albeit Kaleed and Akshan do look similar. The game doesn't deserve to die, but you know what would be interesting? Riot buying moonton and maybe combining the two games, because there are some things MLBB does that is better than League. It would be the ultimate collaboration.
"Competition" more like rip off
Getting into MOBAs as a new player is impossible. I wouldnt ever start league right now if I had not already played it for 12 years.
That's why I'm playing Honor of Kings (a mobile moba) with an emulator on PC. I tried all the available native PC mobas and the only one I found enjoyable was Heroes of the Storm but since it was abandoned the player-base is mostly gone so 90% of the games now are sweat fests.
yeah haha
Imagine starting playing Dota 2 today which is "a bit more" complex than League. Still there are people who try and even successfully(?) stay hooked
its not if u do it with firends. i made my friend play it last year first time, but to be honest we do stick to arams hahaha
Tbh thats one of the reasons why Mobas that try to copy the League/Dota/Whatever formula are dying/dont succeed for long if at all.
Its possible to create a moba that doesnt have a ton of the unecessary bloat that a game like league has while still having fun and interesting champions and strategic gameplay. But people are too obsessed with basically copying league or crying that a game isnt copying league lmao. So devs get the wrong idea and repeatedly fail at developing a successful game.
I play league and mobile legends and the examples of champions “inspired” from league are not correct. For example akshan came after khaleed. And some champions from league have some abilities that you can find in mlbb like Samira’a ult that combine 2 ults abilities from mlbb (wanwan for the activation system and claude for the ability graphics). Just saying
When league was free of Garena in ph i thought we'd be free of Gacha but few years later...
Huh this feels familiar hmmm. Garena flashbacks.
But Garena are waaaaay more cheaper than Riot's gacha system.
I am in PH. I played League of Legends since S8 and due to the merger of the servers, the LOL ping drastically increased to the point that it became completely unplayable for me. From 7 ping, it raised to 50-200 ping, which normally plays around 150 ping (whole game).
So, I searched for similar MOBAs and now I am playing Mobile legends. Since the console is mobile, not a lot of players can and would type to chat making the experience far less toxic than league.
So thank you Riot for giving me the opportunity to find Mobile Legends and I hope you don't fix the ping issue in the Philippines so many more PH bros would play this game.
Mobile Legend while being a league copy, it's very much simpler in terms of gameplay than LOL
riot competition? man is JUST USA not rest of the world haha, is a lot of players? maybe but just like league itself in asian MBLBB is strong in asia, in the case of MBL is pretty popular in third world countries too cause is much easy to run in old Smartphones
Guys i don't wanna do research can someone explain quickly why tiktok is being banned in the US?? thanks in advance
@ThundererR64T Joe Biden wants TikTok to be brought by Elon Musk or anyone else.
Tik tok is from China.
Apps steal your data and gain a shit load of money for the Us, and most of the time that data is sold to 3rd parties in China. Tik tok, however, is just getting the data to China directly, meaning The Us is not getting money, so they are banning it because greed
