Mobile Legends is a moba game that was developed by Montoon. It became popular because its just playing our favorite classic PC game DOTA (Defense of the Ancients) in an easier platform- our mobile phones. Gone are the days that we need to fo to computer shops, cut are classes or go home late because we want to play the game. Now thanks to the innovation made by moontoon, we could play moba in any android and ios mobile phones. However, because of the popularity of this game, it found it amusing and at the same time frustrating that the game if filled with idiots who think that they know better but mind you they are plain idiots. Today I will give a list of indicators in which if you see it you can have an 80% probability that you will lose the match. These are the kind of team mates that you should always prepare to report at the end of the game. And if you, yes you that are reading this blog post, you should either stop playing the game of you try no to make these mistakes.

1. Picking

Wrong picks. For the sake of God do not pick more than one marksman. Just consider that a marksman is a liability on the early phases of the game. They could not farm well and their damage output is not that good in the early game. But you need one (just one because one marksman is enough for the end game) in case the game reaches the end game. Marksman should carry the team by then however, it could be nearly impossible to reach the end game if you have more than one marksman because it will drag you don and the other team could bully you in the early game and there is a strong possibility that the game would end early. 

a. Always pick a tank. You can pick two tanks. Tanks takes the damage and set for your kills. Strong tank is the strength of the team. If a tank has no assist and you are the warrior, mage, assassin and marksman, it could mean that you are being an idiot. That you need to grow your mind because you might not have one.

b. Try to balance the damage output and the tankiness of your heroes in your team. The thing is tanky heroes have less damage but high damage heroes are less tanky. Do your maths and estimates.

c. Try to consider the skills and the abilities of the heroes that you use. Always consider if combos are available. The important thing is that pick the hero that your team needs rather that what you want to play. If you insist on playing the hero that you want to play rather than what your team needs you will lose.

2. Play with objectives in mind

There are objectives that you need to accomplish to win the game. The first objective destroy the turrets, the second objective be stronger than the opponents. You could do this by having a good and effective rotation. What I mean by having a good and effective rotation? You must learn when to clear the lanes and when to farm. Always farm but just remember that your priority is to guard the lanes. Clear the creeps then farm then join clashes. And always remember that the ultimate objective is destroying the enemy base.

3. Do not overstretch

This is a common mistake that was committed by mobile legends player. They always tend to overstretch. What I mean of overstretching is going deep into the opponents' territory to the point that you are too far aways from your teammates for them to help you. Always look at the map at the positioning of your teammates and always expect a gank when you are diving deep into the opponents' territory. The rule is not to go alone.

4. Do not dive into the enemy when you are outnumbered. 

There is no strong hero that can not be overwhelmed by numbers. Always work with your team. Always wait for the set of your tank. Of course there are advanced strategies such as split pushing but you must first master the principles in rotation. You must always be position your hero to an area where you can help your teammates easily and so as your teammates could also help you easily.

5. Do not feed the enemy.

Always be careful not to feed the enemy or else your hero would be stunted and the enemy heroes would be stronger. Always check your position in the map and the position of enemies in the map. If two of them is missing? Go back to safety. They must be planning something. 

6. Do not be greedy

You must always know when to fight the enemy in a clash or when to backout. It is not a game of bravado but a game of multiplayer-team player strategy game.The right mindset is that when attacking an enemy, you must always have the advantage. After a clash for example if you have killed two heroes from the enemy team or you have taken down an enemy turret, you must always assume that your skills and the skills of your teammates are in the cooldown. Retreating is not a shameful act if you can use it properly.  The game is a variation of attacking and retreating.

7. Stick to your role. If you are a tank feed your assassins, marksman and warrior (or your carry in general). Let them get the kills and the buffs. This is necessary for your victory. Do not compete with them. Tank should protect his carry. The killers should kill. The marksman should be strong as early as the mid game. The warriors should do the split push, the assassins should clean up the battlefield. Do not compete with your teammates. If you do, you are a complete idiot.
