MOBILE Legends is arguably one of the most popular mobile games currently being played. While its premise is interesting enough, what really keeps players glued to their smart phones?

The most recent Mobile Legends (ML) update brought in several new additions to the game players not only have a new interface to get used to, but they’re introduced to new heroes as well.

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is a multiplayer online battle arena mobile game developed and published by Shanghai Moontoon Technology. The game has become popular in Southeast Asia and will be a medal event at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games.

This is a worldwide game, many person play it. It is an online game and can be played on PC or smartphones. You can also make a team and join tournament games to win all the winning prizes.

Some say that it can be harmful to a person. But think of it, playing mobile games have positive effects to the players.

Researchers came up with a study to show that there is also an effect in mobile games (ML) to the behavior and health of students. There are positive and negative effects. Positive effects: improving brain functions and educating children. Negative effects: distraction while performing another important activity, affecting social interaction, sleep problems and loss of productivity.

The negative effects can be avoided by your child, just guide them well and make a schedule for their games. You could set up a time for their mobile games and family outdoors. Through that activity, the interaction of the child to their mobile games can be avoided or lessen. (By Gwen Katrice A. Emano, Bugo National High School)
