Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has seen one of its biggest updates yet with Patch 1.8.20 released today. The patch brings a trove of new content, including a new hero, a revamped version of an old hero, updated maps, a new game mode, and changes to the balance system. While many changes are expected to improve the balance of the game, this update could prove to be the biggest one yet for the popular mobile online battle arena.
The new hero added to the game is Bowang, a Nature-themed assassin. Bowang is an agile fighter, capable of quickly moving across the battlefield and dealing heavy damage to enemies. She specializes in binding opponents with vines and applying crowd control effects. Bowang is available in the Moonton Store and is sure to be a popular pick when it comes to drafting the right hero for your team.
Alice, a fan favorite since her introduction in Patch 1.4, has also been revamped in this patch. She receives several buffs to her abilities, as well as a new ultimate that is designed to give her even more offensive power in battle. Alice’s new ultimate warns enemies of attackers, essentially allowing her to set up traps in the heat of battle.
The new game mode, Team Mode Rumble, is designed to encourage team-play between players. The mode is split into two groups, each with five players. Each group must collect enough score to defeat the opposing team by capturing flags and eliminating enemy players. The team that collects the most score in the limited time given is the winner.
To balance the current meta, some nerfs and buffs to various heroes have been added in Patch 1.8.20. This patch also brings some updates to the maps; some areas have been adjusted in size or difficulty, while others have been completely overhauled.
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang continues to be a popular title for mobile gamers, and this patch brings a slew of new content to the game. New and old players alike will have plenty to explore and enjoy in this update, and hopefully, this patch will help the title reach new heights of popularity.
