Why Is MOBILE LEGENDS Being Sued Again? | League of Legends

- Mobile Legends is a mobile game that claims to have been the first "Mobile MOBA game". Although this is debatable, one thing that's not debatable is how the developers take an immense amount of inspiration from League of Legends. A game that came out 7 years before their release.
With that fact, Riot Games have spent the last 5 years trying to defeat them in court. But despite how obvious some of their copying is at times, Mobile Legends has seemingly completely got away with it.
Today we take a look at the most recent update to their battles and how Riot Games' Wild Rift may actually be struggling to beat Mobile Legends.

Thanks for reading and watching!
By the way, it's not mentioned in the video but I actually think Mobile Legends is a fine game. There's a reason why so many people prefer it over others.
Let me know though, do you play mobile games like Mobile Legends or Wild Rift? 🤔
Mobile Legends is a nice game. The community is just not good. I like both games but spent more time on Mobile Legends
I cannot play on mobile screens at all so I do not like any mobile MOBA.
Nah mobile legends is turbo-cringe. they dont even try to make the game different by any way shape or form
@@Sakuwu__VT MLBB eSports is not professional. It's purely entertainment for two countries dominated by MLBB. People begging for skins were rampant among streamers.
@raynaldo arlen k.eman Riot starting doing the same recently with Gacha and exclusive skins
The main problem is that Riot had a chance to make Wild Rift a lot earlier when people actually demanded it. Riot didnt follow up on it so others took the rein and went wild.
fr, the one good thing about the copycats though is it made them create wild rift to compete with them xD
That's unfortunately exactly what happened.
And the story goes that Tencent pressured them to make a mobile version many years ago but Riot didn't want to until they were ready.
Now it is what it is.
@@NicolaiLol
At least we get nice champion models which could be used in League PC
Riot doesn't listen to its fans after all
@@NicolaiLol Although that was a big part of the problem, I also think that Riot was in the right by saying it needs time since you can't really expect quality material to be just rushed, bad luck, shit happens, Mobile Legends copied Riot and that's something that actually happens a lot, however, I think the judge who dismissed riot's lawsuit is the one on big fault, either that, or some hideous sh*t must be going on there... Anyways, great video Nicolai, just as always! :)
The fact that Moonton got away with blatantly copying League just goes to show how little intellectual property rights matter. I hope that will change someday.
Why would it change? This is raking in millions just in tax for the commies, why would they suddenly cut that off? You think Dog Xi-t is thinking, "damn, that's too much money, better stop my company number 2, ByteDance, from copying my company number 1, Tencent?"
I mean, do you stab your left hand with your right hand because you're thinking you have too many fingers?
Plagiarism is something that will never be beaten out of our nature. It's what drives us to all to aim for perfection
@trilamhuu46 It's one thing to have inspiration, it's another thing to copy and paste. There are spiritual successors to cult classic video games, then there is blatant, unimaginative, and slimy copying something and claiming that something as your own.
as looong as yours are a Chinese or Russian company it's fine yes
@@trilamhuu46 to be perfect you need innovation not copying
It all boils down to game mechanics why MLBB gained so much popularity especially in SEA region. Players who never had any experience with MOBA find MLBB easier to play compared to WR
It has a lot to do with this and I don't think enough people put respect on how dumbing your game down to the point of brainlessness makes mobile games so successful.
This is going to sound derogatory and, to a degree it is meant to be, but the people who picked up MLBB are the Candy-Crush-on-the-toilet gamers and you can see it the moment anyone who has ever played *any* MOBA on PC logs in and dominates every match until they hit GM where the people who know how to abuse the broken mechanics of MLBB kick in and stonewall them.
No Fog of War, no backing for items, you have inbuilt functionality for lane sustain and there's an easy wincon in whatever the Baron Nashor thing is called again.
MLBB spoonfeeds you everything you need to win a match from the very start of the match, whereas Wild Rift is *still* LoL, even if it's only Diet LoL. Matchups matter, you don't just auto win if you all-in before the enemy all-ins you first, you have to give thought to jungling because you don't auto clear camps with 0 effort and, again, if you just all in as a jungler, you can't really lose in MLBB.
Wild Rift is MLBB for adults, even if it's still dumbed way down.
But there are other things to consider, too.
You can buy power in MLBB. Skins give stats that let you win level 1 engagements and you can buy materials to upgrade MLBB's clone of Rune Pages.
MLBB is so successful because, unlike Wild Rift that intends to emulate a proper MOBA, MLBB is just there to hook whales and make bank.
@@rellianthebonemeowster3450 bro took it so personal over a mobile game
@@ommpwall6404 nah it a call professional life waster moment
@@rellianthebonemeowster3450 bro, the skin atribut don't do that much, it literally just give you like a small buff.
@@rellianthebonemeowster3450 And thats the reason why most people who started on mlbb, dont play wr since its " mlbb for adults". I mean anyone wants an easy and simple understanding of a game.
Here in the Philippines, playing pc games were usually played in comp shops because having a pc is expensive as shit. And it was highly inconvenient not only to the people gaming but also to the other people in the computer shop waiting their turn.
When Mobile Legends was introduced, it was definitely a lot easier, and less expensive for people. Not to mention it was user friendly, or atleast it was for me. I've played both, and honestly, ML is less intimidating than League. And I was so confused with League that I just did not want to play cause it was too complicated (I was a beginner ,and a kid who just wanted to play with friends, I was not looking for advanced nerd shit plus I'm not allowed out of the house for a long time). When I got ML, it gave me the chance to easily play with friends without having to worry about time and expenses.
Even until now, majority of my friends still play ML, even if Wild Rift is there. Ml is just more faster, less space, and more friendly. A single game in League usually takes around an hour from what I've seen, and ML can be done in less than 30 if you're lucky. But if you get over 30 in ML, to me, it's usually because both sides are very good and are unwilling to end fast because they enjoy fucking it up with their opponent lol. Probs the same with League but I usually watch ML Esports/Content Creators.
The only difference for me is the mechanics. Both are equally fun, and both are equally a good game to play with friends. But League is definitely harder than Ml, it's more advanced.
Can relate
Yea I stay getting matched up with Filipino players
This is basically all of the reasons why I prefer ML to WR. Me and my aunt (yes, my aunt is my duo in ml) tried out WR when it first released, and we both didn’t like the experience so we just played ML instead, and to this day, we still play ML so yeah?
@@9thharbingerofthefatuinot to mention that people you wouldn't expect playing a MOBA game are now playing it because of Mobile Legends. I am playing with my Mom sometimes when she actually restrained me for playing DotA years ago.
I born play ml never play league of legends soo i agreed with this
Despite being a mlbb player i always supported riot against moonton, but riot using meme comments to file a complaint just makes the situation hilarious💀
😂
Tas yung isang galing pa sa pinoy HAHAHAHAHHAHA
What kind of loser plays mlbb
Any text can be used as evidence in court. Meme or not doesn't matter
Not a meme it's a evidence
Winning the first lawsuit gives Riot an upper hand in this one, and Moonton going back and changing their characters designs just makes them look worse.
You're naive to think this arguments have power against China...
I'm just waiting for ww3 and shut them for good, just like Japan almost accomplished.
Doesn't matter, they don't care about copyright over there. The court of public opinion means nothing.
They just edit some similar style away from the hero's splash and call it a day. They don't even bother to change it overall they just erase something from there and then that's it. Believe me I play that game
This is what said to other people as well. "They already changed it" I'm like no, it actually makes them look worse since they're admitting that Riot's case is an actual threat to them. But they can't do anything about it since Riot already sent evidences, so changing anything now won't help them.
@@user-oo7dw4qw4b and the small changes are Just stuff that are often used on other games
As a player of both games i can say one of disadvantages of wildrift is what's moontoon doing right now which is collaboration yeah by doing collaboration with famous Anime,Cartoon and etc. They are able to take their audience go wild and made their satisfactory go up since now moontoon always asked the player if the skin is good enough or need improvements.
I can certainly relate because moonton is doing collaboration with some of my favorite anime
Yeah, the star wars and kungfu panda collabs for example were amazing
yeah but wheres the creativity in that? its COLLAB which means most of the design or everything is literally being used for a character. Thats actually peak bs, moneytoon just wants to find way to make money and theyre lazy asf. And mlbbs skins esp their collab skin quality and everything is nowhere near leagues skins.
@@VillyUrMomso you going create a game for free ... obviously they are going to want money
@@Anythingforyou11 atleast make them good lol
Thing is, mobile legends is unfortunately just so much better than wild rift, hell id rather play mlbb than wild rift.
When you realise there is an mlbb copy named "clash of titans" and many more
Its not you just have a skill issue because its only 3 abilities that game sucks
Wild rift was just too late, MLBB had already established itself as THE mobile Moba game. In countries mainly in southeast Asia this game is everywhere youd go, heck I remember letting some friends play smash bros (they have never heard of it) and when they saw the characters they were describing them to characters from MLBB. It really goes to show the loyalty of these players and how well established it already it despite the blatant copying.
I think it is fine, what matters is the quality of the game and we can already play it. Finally a decent moba is released for mobile and that is WR hands down. ML is more popular in PH and Indo but WR has the better quality considering that it is new.
It's never to late at all the fact that recently WR just announced another exclusive WR skins & become top trending on Twitter again it's just show you peeps are actually care about WR
@@garciasth217 WR wont be as popular as LoL unfortunately
@@VonAndrade game is for entertainment not for quality. Even if youve got great quality if its not entertaining enough it will still lose
@@VonAndrade the "having to go back to base to buy items" is a huge deal breaker to me who enjoy more fast paced combat.
Riot has let Mobile Legend to grow too big and i doubt they could shut them down at this point. It's not just a game anymore, this has become an industry and a lot of people earn their living from this game in all aspects
They can still flip things up and get all the ace card again if they will make Wild Rift much more easier and newcomer friendly like MLBB.
I downloaded WR last year and I honestly don't understand anything on it. 😂 I ended up going back to MLBB because I don't play any computer games and I don't even know LOL games before.
I don't know what happened on WR now but if they can attract a lot of my friends on playing it maybe I can redownload it again.
@@connordrake5713 Doesn't look good for Wild Rift, the team behind doesn't seem to be what it needs right now.
Fair enough, honestly I think it's a waste of time. Riot already dominantes the PC gaming area with Val and League alone. Mobile Legends is just a league rip off that started before wild rift, but essentially a copy paste of the same game.
@@connordrake5713 lol me downloading WR thinking I could learn a few stuff in just a few days of playing... dead wrong
I’ve played both and I think both of these games are amazing. My moba experience started with mobile legends but ive learned alot of micro and macro from league that helped me in both games.
Same
The only thing that make me play ML is because a lot of people plays it.
Other than that? Everything svck and low grade compared to LOL.
Even the feeling you get from the storyline in LOL is completely different world compared to ML.
I still play LOL
@@Justice_Dignity who cares about you play or not lmao
Wildrift actually have major "connectivity issues" doesn't matter if you have good internet connection or decent device. The game is truly the best mobile MOBA however it's unplayable because of unstable ping and sometimes totally unplayable. This have been an issue for so long. How can they even compete.
Bro to this day every time i try to play wild rift i get "verfying files faild, please check your internet connection." Message, and even then when i actually get into a match my ping is always above 100, meanwhile in ML i rarly get high ping spikes for a long time.
Fun fact: Neither Tencent nor Riot ever actually won a copyright case vs Moonton. The US case was dismissed. The Chinese case won was not about copyright & also not against Moonton.
Tencent sued their ex-employee (the moonton ceo) for breach of contract (a non-compete I believe?) & won the 2.9 mil. Moonton the company is a different entity which was not involved.
If they actually had a copyright win in china, I don't think the case would've been dismissed, since riot could say "Yeah, we went to china & we won"
Give me reasons why Moonton canceled the latest project next since you know about all of this, this should be easily answered based on your comment
@@LeBornMajes Because even if it is a good idea, people will still sue them for blatant copying even if its not. Also, it will just make the game much less appealing. Also because they listen to their audience, unlike wildrift.
@@nushia7192 Audience? It's literally the majority that wanted that change, why would they remove a long-worked content just for nothing huh?
@@LeBornMajes Nope, its the players from advanced server who wanted that change. But it was too complicated for players from the original server so they stick with the emblem system.
@@caspyyyy I already said "the majority wanted that change" that includes the players from adv and orig
As someone who played league for 12 seasons, based on how greedy riot was with last years and the amount of "we don't care" from customer support it feels good
I played ml on a whim and wild rift after maybe half a decade of anticipation. As a 12 year vet, as blatant as a copy ml was and was meant to be, riot did something even worse by integrating ml's worst original ideas, ranging from the concepts in yuumi and renata to shattle-pass "events" and poorly random loot. Somehow rank-matching is slightly more even on the chinese knockoff of a sold-out game- whose client and code braves millions of shitty phones every day. Theres no way ml hurts their bottom line any more than they have.
Correct!
The fact that Angela is a combination of yumii and oriana
@@kitsunefox1274 yet she is cuter than both! LOL has a roster of ugly females and each year they keep churning out these lesbian looking characters that is more butch than the entire cast of BTS
@@kitsunefox1274 angela came first than yummi if you don't know
Problem is, Riot didnt make a mobile game, Moontoon did and they did copy back then, then they changed the whole concept. It was the only PVP game ever existed during that time..and it has the same quality as LoL...when Wild Rift was released, i find it unstable, especially server wise
I prefer ML because of the faster games and gameplay. playing League takes way too long, especially now that I have a regular 9-5 job. the action slows down so much when you have to get back to base and get items, and the fact that on pc at least, it felt so slow to level up and earn the gold you need to get items. in ML there is almost no end to the action as you can just buy items anywhere on the map. A lot of people say the ML is broken, but then they also say ML just copied LoL, so does that mean that both are broken? If one is broken, the other is not - then they aren't exactly copies are they? I know its bad that ML did copy so much from League, but still there are a lot of fun and original stuff in it. I came from PC LoL to mobile legends, it just seemed like the way to go after becoming a working guy, playing on phones is convenient and the game is a lot easier to learn IMO. the reason why so many "noobs" are in ML is because they don't even play mobas at all, while people from League for me became very toxic the higher up you go, especially since I only play support/tanks solo Q - they would blame me for everything and whine all day when losing or if you make a simple mistake - chill out dude, its just a game! People call ML broken, but for me its just more fun. If someone complains that a Hero is OP, well SO MANY OTHER HEROES are OP too, lets all be broken together!
Tru the longest game will take 30minutes and that's pretty rare
tbh i hope ml doesnt get deleted it the only game i play, and their staff are really nice and i enjoy the game a lot and i love the collaboration i have spent way to much time and money on the game.
@@Lunniah Agreed 👍
Riot is just late to the mobile moba game world that’s it. When I showed my sister wild rift (an avid mobile legends player) she understood that bang bang is blatant copy but it’s hard to move games since the game already rooted in her live, she spends so much money for “cool” skin, all her friends were still actively playing it and they all loved the localization of some of the “hero” + the meme community is so active and localized on each countries. Rito must try a new way 👀
I observed the same thing with a few people, they invested time and money on mlbb so they won't quit and start playing wild rift
To say it's a time gap, wr came out like 4 yrs after ML(b4 its rebrand into MLBB) so it's quite a huge gap. If a yr, maybe it's ok but 4 yrs? Yup Riot didnt plan this well
Yep I agree to this. Riot entered far late.
:v rito can't doto in pc(Tournament International) and this rito to ML(Already established)
@@corporaldoge815 Hmm..Riot alredi beat Dota2 in terms of popularity in pc, sure tournaments not really but in terms of player count, still LoL beats Dota2. Only in mobile Riot's been beaten by Moonton's ML
I think one of the biggest things why MLBB's player base didn't budge when WR was released is that wr needs a good phone and a big system to run properly. I used to play MLBB before wild rift and there's a really big difference when it comes to space required for the game to play smoothly, here in the Philippines there's a lot more people that play on phones rather than consoles and gaming set ups that also means not everyone has a good phone to run the Wild rift (due to the pandemic too since a lot of people lost their jobs)
Awww
Additional info: people here just really prefer mobile gaming because consoles and set ups are literally so expensive 💀
@@jellycustardcat7438 Thank you, that explains a lot 🙂
I agree. Me as a League enthusiast blatantly upgrade my phone to a mid range with high end specifications just to play this game. I'm not saying that playing League Wild Rift will be expensive but a lot of Filipino can't afford to upgrade their phones just to have fun when they can literally have fun with the copycat. Still, I'm not regretting that I bought a new phone and got to play flawlessly with Wild Rift but its pretty unfortunate that it will take time before my friends got to have theirs and join my league.
@@WildRiftGameplayandTutorial exactly dude, like they aren't going to upgrade their phones just to play wild rift if they can play another game that does the exact premise (Moba premise). Even if we say that wild rift is more worth it when it comes to champions, skins, experience, community and overall performance people aren't going to play if they literally can't.
I am completely happy with the outcome seeing as if riot had actually cared about there idea being stolen they wouldn’t just be sueing moonton Ik at least 8 games with same format and characters but I don’t see them getting sued I think the reason is mostly to stay at the top of the competition
"Help me state, I can't win the competition against them byu marketing alone 😢😢😢😢
Genuine question: For the skins and stuff, I'm curious if League actually has a case for that. Those skin design concepts have been done for a long time now, even before league. It's not like League itself created fancy looking men wearing suits, purple aliens in space, etc. Can they legally claim a copy from things that aren't that unique in the first place, or is that why the case was dismissed?
Not everything can be copyrighted.
Champions or skins of said champions have certain features that, for marketing purposes, are easily identifiable. Ahri is a champion basd of the 9 tails fox myth, that is how you identify her. Creating a character based on that isnt plagiarism. Ahri is one of the champions that participate in the KDA promotional stuff. Her 2 KDA skins make a good use of the fact this is a fox girl and they give a central attention to the 9 tails, who are now crystalized.
Guinevere had nothing to do with foxes, but skins are supposed to be different design concepts for the same champ, however the way in which her legend skin (the one in the video). Before ML changed the skin, already admits some fault, the presentation animation made the similarities with Ahri kda so obvious that the way in which the 9 tails were shown was EXACTLY the same. You looked at that and you would think of Ahri, the same way you see an half eaten pear on a chinese phone and think of apple iphone.
Certain images are associated with a product for commercial reasons. Presenting something that clearly looks just like that image will 100% give an law suit and unless you can prove that you didnt know about it, then you will almost def lose.
The only reason why the lawsuit didnt go in, is because its a dispute about 2 chinese owned companies. The court believes its better to let the country of origin, for the parent companies, to handle it. Its nothing special or unique and, unless its arming the US directly, then the court will do this 99% of the time. Riot cannot win the case tho, even if the parent company pressed them to do it, because China itself doesnt care about copy rights.
Many of the things are way too obvious copies for it to be dismissed. Everybody knows it. It's blatantly obvious. Even moonton makes no efforts to hide it.
The only reason they don't just straight up ask "what should we take next from League" On social media is for legal reasons.
It's a complete and utter failure of the Us legal system to dismiss this. Saying this as a law student. This blows my mind
They are not right for it and they shall not be able to do that
DC didn't invent the concept of bug theme super heroes in power armor.
But if I start selling a comic called "The Cyan Beetle" I'm pretty sure I'm going to get sued. XD
It doesn't help that Wild Rift was steadily declining by the time 2022 rolled up. The lawsuit seemed like a desperate last struggle to bring Wild Rift to the forefront. WR just lacked enough effort in advertising and supporting their content creators from the smallest to the biggest which gave ML not only an edge because they got in the market first, but also built a tight bond of loyalty with the community and creators. Might be going on a tangent here, but ML goes out of their way to help small content creators host giveaways and advertise them in game to grow their channels and send them gifts at least thrice a year didn't matter if they were small. It's sad to see a billion-dollar company lacked the effort to retain the playerbase.
Like a desperate move? Because it kind of is.
Looking at the article, this was since May of 2022....and the court snubbed the case already, but eh, Riot can get stubborn at times (they plan on appealing it again anyways...). Also, yes, this is EXACTLY a DESPERATE move from Riot, it's that obvious, also. With the recent case/s where Moonton is ACTUALLY the one winning (Tencent sued Moonton for marketing related shit or sumthn, but Moonton ended up winning anyway), cannot say much, but I guess not all the blame should go to Moonton, considering Tencent also sabotaged Moonton on its early stages (which lead to that Ex Employee lawsuit).
When you actually take a look on some of the things that Riot Games claimed Moonton to copy, a lot of it is just nitpicking as a way to make the lawsuit filed bigger rather than giving the court a 5 page rant, like when it comes to summer skins ( as if no game ever has some kind of summer skin events ), and when it comes to Guinevere, it's a different skin them altogether, as Ahri's is about Kpop band theme, and Moonton is futuristic cyberfox, so Naruto might as well sue Riot games 😂😂😂
It's just funny seeing the Riot and Moonton dilemma unfold.
@@Archaoen0 Yeah if they kept it straightforward to the ones that really are blatant copies instead of just nitpicking stuff like those summer skins then the lawsuit might've actually had some weight to it
@@Archaoen0Especially the Summer Skins like……Riot is this really necessary? I mean I get the other things, but the summer one 😬😬
I honestly have the impression riot did not put enough effort into promoting Wild Rift. Mobile Legends has been in the market for much longer as "lol mobile", if riot wanted to overthrow them they should have promoted the game harder. I feel they relied way too much on Arcane and when the hype ended everyone forgot WR.
They didn't even promote the game in LoL - where thousands of players (especially new ones) have technical difficulties with their pcs.
Also canceling Esports everywhere but asia is very concerning, especially because in South america there is a largely passionate playerbase. I go to twitch and more than half the streamers are latin/brazillian (and I usually look for english content)
And as a south american who had issues with bad pcs and who has friends with the same issues I can atest WR is a great alternative for many people who can't play LoL on PC and they would probably like it. Issue is, nobody ever hears about it unless they are already part of the League community.
I think Wild Rift was assumed to just beat Mobile Legends because "Technically" mobile legends is much worse,balance is non-existant and the monetization is so scummy it would make EA blush. But the thing is that Mobile Legends is fun,when i lose i usually dont feel frustrated towards my team or like it was my fault,just that it was unfortunate and imma go next.
It is very interesting that they've done little-to-no advertising in areas in Latin America, maybe it's under the assumption that if they can't afford a good PC they can't sink money into their properties? Which sucks hardcore, of course, but I guess it's understandable. A lot of the Latin American fanbase (save for streamers) usually play for free or little money, at least from what my boyfriend has told me. Advertising and keeping the e-sports sect could've been considered too high of a risk, despite the fact it's so active in the community otherwise.
My pc runs league better than my phone runs wild rift, cause at least my pc doesn't try to ignite from loading up the app.
I played League from S3 to S7 and just discovered Wild Rift 3 weeks ago. They did a very poor job in marketing the game.
@@Strix2031 in simple words overhyped for nothing and the ones that side they either switches sides or dissapeared complety from the game or community
Thanks for the video!
Mobile Legends has already become a massive cultural phenomenon in the Philippines and Indonesia, with a significant cultural impact on both societies. When traveling around Indonesia, you can't help but notice the widespread popularity of ML. It's everywhere, from shampoo bottles to chocolates. I'm not kidding! In the Philippines, some people are even naming their children after their favorite ML heroes. Memes are being shared between Filipino and Indonesian players, creating a sense of shared humor and camaraderie. The ML communities in both countries have formed close-knit bonds, with rivalries emerging in the esports scene.
Interestingly, the Indonesian government has shown its support for the ML esports scene by intervening in the MPL ID (Mobile Legends Professional League Indonesia). They are determined to make their league more competitive, especially after experiencing defeats against the Philippines. On the other hand, the Filipino government officials went as far as traveling to Indonesia during the M4 (Mobile Legends World Championship) to announce that M5 would be held in Manila, generating great excitement among fans. Personally, I am eagerly anticipating M5 in Manila this December. The city has a fantastic atmosphere during the Christmas season.
HOK will just become another WR.
my dog is named Miya :P
Bro thats fucked up...
I will name my child Thamuz 😅
all fun and games until someones fav hero is Uranus
shows you how badly it has affected people
The biggest mistake of Riot is that they don't take advantage of getting a league of legends mobile around 2015 before mobile legends in 2016, and the COVID19 came, where most of the people are into mobile games and mobile legends consistently increasing in popularity
Unfortunate timing indeed
Lol why blame tencentwhen It's actually Riot they refused for a mobile version and blackmailed them if HoK was coming out on global so they had no win because of them.
Well the time gap went even further if u look at pre-covid since it's literally a power vacuum. Like it took too long for riot to start going into mobile with the while need to setup infrastructure & all
They already made AOV and some other mobile mobas before making honor of kings, that was released inside China earlier than the release of wildrift. Ahem, they didn't?
@@nushia7192 Hmm...actually it's the other way around. U see HoK was one of the 1st Tencent produced, they decided to rebrand it to AoV for the global release after HoK's success. Dat one's a bit tricky, AoV is basically a "globalized" ver of HoK and ofc Riot took issue with Tencent over how HoK/AoV(forgot which one) was similar to LoL(like old LoL)
Scientifically, to explain why some players have the intuition to know where other players are is vision and auditory.
I can hear the other characters from, then I walk there. And it's really is hiding there one time.
Thank you to make this video 👍
To be honest, I think how these lawsuits are handled is just plain stupid. Yeah 2.9mil is A LOT of money... for a normal person/small company. But as mentioned, its merely a drop in the bucket from what they already made from stealing it in the first place. There should be something in place to properly deal with thing like this. Even if they were hit with a 500mil fine, that would not have been a problem for them, since now they can pretty much do it blatantly without fearing being fined again.
They didn't win against Moonton for copyright. Tencent sued it's ex-employee for breach of contract & won 2.9 mil in compensation. That employee just happened to be the Founding CEO of Moonton so the articles reported it as Moonton lost. But a company & it's ceo are seperate legal entities.
@@_KnightOfRounds_ Good to know, thanks!
People handling these lawsuits never take research they have a mindset they are richer than these companies especially the companies involved around games
@@_KnightOfRounds_ Riot might have just dirtied its reputation when the articles said "Moonton" instead of "Ex-employee".
Yeah not to mention ml has collabs making that amount pointless.
As a ML player im just happy that montoon finally has a rival in moba games. (IN MOBILE) In year 2016-2018 montoon is very strict on giving some free stuffs especially skins. But now, i can feel that montoon is spoiling us by giving skins and free heroes just because of wildrift release. Its a good thing for the both of company to have a rival cuz look at genshin. The developers are not listening to the players and their anniversary feels like a normal day. 😭
I also tried playing wildrift but everything is just too slow for me like after i play one game, i will turn off the app and open other game. There is no excitement for me. im not a hater. Im just telling my personal experience.
They giving skins rn lmao
@@SLAYYWOFJE same with me, it is not as fast as mole
Just means you like fast paced games but personally I prefer Wr because it's not so fast that at lvl 9 the towers don't go down just because of a dude having atk speed build the reason why Wr is slow is because it has a more strategical gameplay where as ML as I see often mostly requires fast hands but yes ML can be fun since losing isn't that impact full
I can relate lmao
MLBB built a massive playerbase and will continue to grow more, they're so good the players don't care about copying Leage of Legends, they satisfy almost all the players wants on a moba game, they also offer good services and the developers listens to the community. Personally I think Mobile Legends deserves this and it's League of Legends fault for not releasing a mobile version and their only way to make up for it is to sue MLBB
Wild rift is just too much of a commitment for a newbie who just downloaded the game matter of fact roit is not even available in most asian countries and doesn't even have an asian server that works well when i started LOL even my level 8 account was getting destroyed by smurf enemies i quit it was no fun
Why ml has lot of player is because of it is beginner friendly. No wards to worry about, no fog, etc. Unlike wild rift where its just too mechanical for majority of players to enjoy. It tried it but its definitely only lol players will enjoy. It also helped that in early years, a ml game can be done in average of 10 mins. Suited as a mobile game. So i dont think releasing wild rift early will change the trajectory of ml being popular
yep.. dl'ed wild rift. saw the fog.. uninstalled it immediately 🤣
Also the animation of ml is more focus than wildrift . Like dealing damage for me in ml feels more satisfying but in wild rift, it does feel like im doing any good damage.
@@elamine9094 I bet you never tried any moba games in PC
@@shimizaorasuu1109 i have played Dota on pc. But i just got used to ml now that when i tried out wildrift it just aint satisfying.
also, mobile legend for player who like fast pace game
Another reason why WR has saw a decline in usage, is because of the mechanics, MLBB is a moba game that let you just buy items out of the blue and actually stays clear on what role you are (ex: When you're jungler just jungle or when you take out the turtle all will benefit) Unlike with WR you have to understand the mechanics deeply.
To be short MLBB is user friendly while WR is not
Yes, even my grandma plays ML, she understands it, very friendly for new users, she absolutely adores playing as Eudora, now we found a new way to bond after dinner!
@@larryperlas7616 it literally needs no skills to use, you just press the buttons

If Riot games actually made an actual mobile game, this wouldn't even be needed, but since they JUST PORTED THEIR 10 YR OLD GAME INTO MOBILE FEELS SO... DISAPPOINTING.
There's a difference between making another moba, and copying an entire moba...

It was also reported that *Qishu picked up a new ability from surviving the attack* and required time to heal.
The problem with WildRift currently is:
1. The Ranked system is so bad that everyone can reach nowadays GrandMaster, over 15k+ are in GM.
2. Then there are these boring events. We only get 1 Event every month while China has over 10+ Events running at the same time.
3. Removing all Chat was a big mistake aswell, you can always mute someone or you even have the option to mute all Chat entirly.
4. Adding Gacha Skins for no reason at all
5. You can't get perma banned for inting. The only punishment you get is a Chat restriction which doesn't stop trolling.
Looks to me like that WR won't hold any longer. Playerbase is insanely small. I only see the same players playing. Even tho I go online in different times.
Well, sorry to burst your bubble but some of the stuff you've said can be said about ml
The ranking is also bad in mlbb, almost everyone I know that plays that game are consistently in MG and most of them just play for fun.
Well, no reason for you to really talk to your enemy if you're competing against each other. If you're playing for casual gaming then the more reason not to talk and just use ping to communicate with your team.
Well, for gacha skins. Isn't mlbb basically a gacha game, with all the skins that is really overpriced and skins that require you to draw in order to acquire them.
And before you go off and tell me I am just a blatant hater. Well, I am but at least I can acknowledge that riot have a lot of fault with wr failing. May it be their bad server or delayed release. And at the very least, I agree with you on that last part. They could've been a little stricter on inting and smurfs.
Everyone in ml is at mythic legend :|
That number one problem also happen at mlbb since i can just straight up go to highest tier within short time
and i dont think the gacha system is that bad tho, u get a guarantee pick with max around 20-30$? unlike mlbb i used to pay 900$ for one skin lol. And yeah riot should just perma ban those trolling fat f*cks instead of no chat restriction or longer matchmaking punishment
@@faharizaru what's mythic legend I'm sure there is only two: mythic and mythical glory

As a WR enthusiast, I can't help but mention that NOT releasing WR in India probably made the game not as popular as it should be
I dont think they really care about the public
They just want the money yet they didn't see that MLBB was banned in India and its such a huge market yet they didn't release the game there
@@goodgrief6721India is a risky market for any Chinese company especially Tencent. It is most likely would get banned so why bother building it in the first place.
On the other hand, MLBB kept the indian servers up. You won't find the game in apps store but if you look hard enough you will find it and for some reason, it gets updated frequently and you don't even need to download future versions or anything. The game auto updates for you
Most Indian didn't even know League of legend what the fuck your r smoking...,...Indian were playin mini milita before pubgM......pubgM only bring esport name in India,now some valorant n cod team are in esport but pubgM was the game that most Indian know of esport....forget about LOL game most Indian didnt even play MLBB before it was banned only NE region was playing it and still NE region played it....
When I saw Guinevere’s legend skin before even released in the original server I knew Riot should sue moonton for sure back then since this skin undeniably copied Ahri’s traits both in display scene and gameplay

Wow this is a surprisingly wholesome comment section. Wasn't expecting that.
I like how mobile legends listens and takes ideas from their users/players and try to balance a good gameplay experience for all players, although I've played wild rift I find it's graphics and gameplay a bit off, colors are off to a more gothic and blank depressing look, whereas mobile legends are bright in color and more pastel, makes you forget how boring real life is.
Every time i want to play lol wild rift server always Unstable and high ping even using high speed wifi connection still 120ms and mlbb always remember F2P player and make event free skin, hero etc..every skins available on mlbb always catch my attention even i didn't have money to buy skin
Moonton is the prime example of telling your joke but better.
i instantly remember key and peele high on potenuse lmao
Nah just louder

I am an MLBB player, I tried playing Wild Rift and I can say that it was quite a competitive ground. It's easy to play for me in ML and WR since in ML, it's easy to move and understand the mechanics, player friendly and feels much more comfortable, while in WR, there's a counter to pretty much everything, most players are experienced and can help alot. Both games are good and fun but for me, it's ML, idk if it's just me but the atmosphere in WR kinda sets me off but I like competing against good players though.
i do a gree as an WR player and a former ML player, for me WR are way more competitive and the mechanics are not player friendly for newcomer. Altho im still choosing WR over ML because of their graphics 😹
ML sucks!!
Atleast we get thhe appreciation from an ML player that we play better then their community.
(Tbf ive played 5 in row since ML start, because i wanted to play a good moba. There was non other then Vainglory exclusive to 3v3 but id like 5v5 more. Few month later ML realesed)
*bruno beeing draven is new to me. It was somewhat of ezreal when i started
I currently play WR and yeah, players have more map awareness than in ML but what I don't like in WR is that it is so slow paced
That's y ml n wr r different game .. what's the point of having different games if they r all the same ..so just play which plays tyle fits u n enjoy the game we don't need to backbite on games which don't fit u .,.
It's a bit shocking in a good way that this is the first comment section where everyone is just level headed on their opinions. Most cliques specially on Facebook, lol/wr players have nothing else to say other than ml is copycat and infantile that hating on ml has become more of their personality than being wr players. Nobody even questioned the accountability of riot and how it has affected the competition
I play both games. Used to play DOTA2. Never played LoL. Wr has harder entry point than ml, but the overall ceiling of both game can be just both high. The logic of saying ml is for kids because kids can play it is ridiculous. Chess can be played by an eight year old. But chess has global grandmasters not even the smartest gatekeeping nerd can defeat. Just freaking play the games you like ffs
this is why I keep finding league of legends ad on youtube, they tried to convince people
On behalf of the mlbb playerbase, this was quite unfortunate to see, mlbb was already going to a very good direction to originality until they further made obvious infringements such as the logo change of the game to league’, to the upcoming champions similarities, skins (especially Guinevere’s Legend skin with Ahri’s KDA) and etc.
But what i’ll also say is Wildrift could’ve really gotten way more than what it’s at now.. First of all which is obvious, the very delayed release of the game, when people really demanded for the game, riot really stretched it out for over a year till its release and at that time people just kinda forgotten about it and the hype died down. Giving mlbb over a year’s worth of growing and expanding their playerbase.
Resulting in 2ndly, they started giving out the beta test to mostly SEA region first, and why’s that a bad idea? Almost no one really expected it coming and a ton of ppl just wasn’t that sold on the game, cuz the SEA region was alrdy just way more familiar with mlbb at this time. Including me, since i was more familiar with mlbb’s more user friendly, simplistic and fast-paced gameplay. Wildrift just felt a lot more clunky, alot more info to digest, and just feels way much slower to play, it only took me a week of playing it before i decided to drop it cuz the game was just not it for me. They didn’t have enough features to compete with how versatile mlbb already has.
And last but not least.. poor promotion of the game. Riot could’ve pushed the hype even further by promoting it to their main channel, to league pc to encourage both old and newer league pc players to try it out as an alternative. But decided not to and only signed various specific celebs/creators thats in the mlbb scene to promote the game. One example is SoloZ from malaysia who is well known in the mlbb community (malaysia side), and made advertisements of the game, but as u guessed that players that saw the ads just weren’t that interested cuz they’re already more occupied with mlbb. Thus resulting the hype for the game even further tanking..
So in conclusion, Riot did not do enough to really help Wildrift to compete with MLBB to barely make a budge in disrupting their playerbase. MLBB continues to grow, while wildrift just slowly sinks. MLBB will remain the best moba game for the MOBILE department, while League stays the best moba game for the PC department.
Besides all these blatant copying and lawsuits riot and moonton fighting eachother over.. both games are great in their own ways so gotta respect that. Under all the copying moonton does, mlbb itself has a lot of effort put into when compared to other half-assed done ripoff games. But aside from that, i also say that league is also a great game for being able to last over a decade at this and still further expanding its playerbase. This is all just between 2 companies while we players should respect eachother’s opinions whether they like or dislike both games, there’s never EVER *which* of the 2 is better than the other.
I think that the fact WR has gone at endless beta phase makes people drove away from the game furthermore. I mean it's not inherently a bad thing since they're experimenting on what League of Legends PC feature they can bring into mobile, and it kinda works. But people have gotten tired of it and decided to call it a quit, like what I did. Luckily Riot has announced that they're ending their partnership with Garena and will host their own SEA server under their name starting from January 2023, so I can play LoL PC instead of sucking up at WR

It is too late to do something against Mobile Legends... Copyright laws are a little bit sketchy anyway especially when dealing with artistic character design. For example, Riot didn't invented the nine tail fox because the kitsune (spirit of the forest) is a part of Japanese folklore.

Riot Focused mostly on erasing Moonton instead of actually making Wild Rift better and more interesting, which ofcourse led to all their plans ruined after Bytedance bought Moonton and let them escape the Lawsuits. Now that Moonton isn't copying much they can't really do much about it other than get better. Which is quite fair to me now cause Mobile Legends has been changing a lot lately, the desperation of Riot to take down Moonton is incredibly huge, to the point that they thought Summer Skins were Exclusive only to them. Goes to show that they're becoming more of the bad ones in this battle instead of Moonton.
I still can't believe they tryna sued moonton because of the summer skin like...wtf? You don't own summer to freely sued people that use the same concept

@@eru6550 You're basically saying all other Moba games aren't allowed to have Summer Skins, I'm disappointed.
so, on some points mobile legends is in the right, for example the pool party skin line... is riot trying to say they can sue any game that has swimsuit cosmetic options? also the ahri thing, are they saying they own the rights to all kitsune based characters, solely saying it's justified because both of their tails are made of crystal, by that logic they can sue anything that has a fire based kitsune because foxfire ahri is a kitsune with a flaming tail, and clearly no one has ever thought of that idea before, ever.
Moonton didn't plan it to be a crystal tail but a holographic tail
Ye riot is just desperately nitpicking to make the lawsuit "bigger"
That how copyright works btw. Little copy still copying. If music you make yourself but copy little instrument of other music you can get copyright. And riot make that skin' earlier than mlbb
Exactly my thoughts. In that case, the entirety of Japanese culture could sue as well.
@@imamzakyabdurrasyiid4breg248 there's such a thing called sampling in the music industry. Copyright laws have more nuance than that. There are also criteria to be met such as novelty, is it entirely unique to warrant protection by the law?

Some companies *won't go to messy places* such as pubs, hotel areas to pick people up.
League of legends not available on Play Store in india
In defense for the swimsuit and Guinevere kitsune skin, Having a pool party skin doesn't mean they copy riot, if that is the logic then, riot should just sue any games that have swimsuit in it. Also Guinevere tails isn't supposed to be crystals, it was holographic tails. It's a nine tailed fox from Japan mythology. Just because it is all flashy, doesn't mean it was a copy, Guinevere have completely different style compare to kda ahri, the only same thing is they both were flashy skins
FACTS finally someone understands that the tailed where from holographic star constellations, it was quite easy to see but people couldn't accept it even saying that the recall was a copy of crimson moon something, I searched up the skin they said and although they where similar, the recall fitted Guinevere more since that the theme of her skin, a fox
They also copy pool party ads 1:1.
@@3nyo146 the point is : when you want to sue a copy, sue the copy parts not anything else
They used gluee and the skin is zask, in a lawsue for wr, and he is not in WR even, i agree with the ad one, but why use zilong as skin, butnottge tattos ON him? That are litterly copy past from a pro drawwing app?
Finally someone said it! They are literally just taken Inspo from Riot which they are allowed to do. Riot needs to focus on fixing the crashes and crap on their game instead of suing ppl over nothing.
When guin show of his tail its almost same like Ahri kda movement
I actively tried to like wild rift but I just can't get used to the controls. It is such a shame tho, it has awesome events that league lacks.
yeah I was a huge vainglory player back then and heard about wild rift before it released. I was planning on giving it a try but then I saw that it would be joystick controls and that turned me away immediately :x Vainglory’s touch controls were peak mobile moba gameplay, and I am still sad that their devs had to shut the game down due to lack of funding. League never truly filled in the hole in my heart that that game left behind 😔

I played both wild rift and mobile legends and even though I love many things about wild rift, the game feels dull and they are trying to be too competitive on a casual platform. On ML, there’s always action and different modes released from time to time that are really fun, like mayhem, mirror, mirror mayhem, ravage, survival modes, etc. Sometimes when I end a match in wild rift I am just not motivated to keep going. On top of that, the very long queue times for ranked matches
I couldn't agree more, the only reason why I played it was the champions and they are fun... but the game wasn't fast paced as ML is since a average match would end 20 or 30 minutes.
Back in the days (2017)
To play League of legends you need specific time, specific place , computer and internet to play
While MLBB you can play it anywhere, anytime and and basically anyone can play with me.

Moonton is not the only one that has similar hero/characters. There are lots of similarities among all the moba games like Honor of Kings, Arena of Valor, Clash of Titan, Heroes Arena, etc.
Recently, Moonton used the same audio of Rengar's ULT in the enemy POV to one of their new skins.
It plays the audio of Rengar ulting from the enemy team, his growl.

@@g.d7018 so what r u gonna do🤓
(An Essay ahead on my opinion why wild rift is not as successful as ML)
As a SEA mobile legend player who were eagerly waiting for wild rift to release (bc i often watch the champion spotlight for PC version of heroes)…. i was quite disappointed when it does release…
(1st) the first FEW heroes (emphasis on few) that was released werent interesting enough to play with.. i was so excited to play as morgana, karma, syndra, and yuumi, only to realize they are not in the WR debut hero line up and by the time some of those listed heroes were added, i already got bored with WR and uninstalled it.
(2nd) Mobile legend is already an established mobile game in the SEA region (SEA is prob the center point of mobile gaming), and people have invested their time and money to this game long before wild rift shows up.
(3rd) idk if i speaks for other SEA players, but on the SEA region (i think) PC gaming is not as common as it is in the NA/EU region. And our economy doesnt support the majority of us buying personal gaming PC/gaming laptop so instead we turn to mobile games which is more accessible, and LoL debuted as a PC game which is why there isnt as much hype ab it bc ppl here dont really know it.
(Lastly) based on *what I experienced* while playing WR, the movement joystick is not as smooth as ML.
That being said, ik its very very long and unecessary, ik its a bad thing that montoon steals and dont really get punished for that, but ill still continue playing ML just bc i have invested too much time and money (started on 2017) on it and is alr way ahead of WR on mobile platform🧚🏻♀️✨
2:07 Touhou LostWord's C3: "Am I being sleeped on again?"
I still remember seeing people being like "once wild rift comes out all those other copies will fail!"
Personally I'm not on anyone's side personally particularly, I think Moonton should stop copying but Riot should learn they can't really shut down ML, that is unless their motivation is just to get extra money.
The fact that Mobile Legends isn't the only moba game that copied League, take a look at Heroes Evolved and Heroes Arena ,both of them also have huge resemblance to League and yet Riot is suing Moonton because Mobile Legends is more popular than their Wildrift.
Well the keyword here is "blatant", similarities cant be avoided but actual effort can still be at place but look at moonton: they obviously took bits and pieces of league and made their own, even the name :P
yeah huge, while mlbb copying almost at everything. example is rune, if you play both League (pc) and old mlbb you know what i mean.
Copy and i inspired are different yes they have the same aspects but ml did copy league blatantly
Heroes Evolved, AOV, or any other mobile MOBA actually doesn't "blatantly" copied League like ML does... i played AOV before and was surprised because they were some heroes that were actually somewhat original, and good
yeah no shit tthey go after the most popular game, sherlock? what are you saying? why would they waste time and money sueing irrelevant games with 5 active players
i remember when you were just the admin of a meme page in the league insta scene. im glad your youtube channel grew so much since those days and especially since you announced it on insta! the videos are amazing, keep doing you:D
Hey that's a massive throw back! I was actually just recently looking at that instagram account lol
Crazy how time flies. Thank you for watching though, my friend!
Now moonton uses anime even better than copying
Right I wanna know some characters in League that has similar kit to ML on the *rare* chance that WR finally escapes the "Pre Registration" era.
Firstly being Paquito who has shield, dash burst and CC dash and a passive that resets and enhances all skills (E. Skills don't have CD) once.
Secondly is Chip :/ _idk wanna explain him tho since I believe he is just Portal Dude of League_
Had Wild Rift released much earlier, it would've been an interesting competition.
Though Moonton might still copy and implement a few features like they did with "Project Next"
i tried playing other moba games and i saw that many heroes are the same with other heroes from different mobas, but how come moonton's the only one being sued?

You can't help those people that are happy to drag you down and attack your vulnerabilities.
I used to play alot of mobile legends at its peak, I thought they were its own game, until I found out about the existance of League of Legends. I haven't tried LoL yet, and I dont plan to depress my life on either games.
So I started playing MLBB in mid 2020. I already manage to understand the basics of it in just less than a month, like the emblems, items, spells and the map which includes proper rotation, placement of creeps and time intervals when the main creeps will appear. IN LESS THAN A MONTH. When i learned abt the plagiarism, ofc Riot gained my sympathy, I installed Wr last year and started playing it. I tried okay. But Ig i'm too used to MLBB that I find it hard to adjust to get used to how Wild Rift works? I thought it's just the same but the equipments and other stuff, I really had a tough time learning them. It feels like I was experementing blindly. Another one that took me out is the feature wherein you cannot build unless you're in the base :,) it's really hassle imo. And a single game could take up to 30 mins or more 😭 so yeah, in almost 3 months of playing it and trying to learn it, I gave up and switch back to mlbb... but then i got busy with college so I stopped playing for over a year. When i got back in late 2022, i still know how to play. Before going back to it, I also tried AOV. i liked it more than WR but the runes confused me so much 🥲 and the heroes are not balanced. I'm really shocked at how op the heroes are esp mages (i'm a mage user btw) even at early game. And another thing that kinda took me out is the players are not that interactive?or maybe that's just on me? Anyways, so at the end, I went back to playing MLBB again, ofc it can be terrible at times too, matchmaking and other stuffs but all of it became bearable bcs of the community, or at least in my circle of mutuals who interact with me and make my gameplay experience more enjoyable. Sorry if this was kinda unrelated to the video, I just wanna share my experiences on 3 games.
Yooo same, I'm used to playing ml but when i try lol... it's just the quality and gameplay is not it for me. When the character walk or attack it feel too slow for me
We have same experience too. I'm not really a computer gamer kind of guy so I basically didn't know LOL.
Riot gained my sympathy too and I start downloading the game. But after sometimes I felt bored on it and I cannot still understand things in WR despite having many battles on it.
I ended up going back to ML because only few of my friends tried to play WR and they came back on ML too.
My advice is that RIOT needs to make WR a fast-face game to and a newcomer friendly.
Bro you should try Marvel Super War. For me, its better than WR. You can understand it more precisely as well. Graphics wise, it's quite competitive to WR's graphics, it's almost the same. About pacing, I would say it is like MLBB's average time per game. MSW feels like combination of MLBB and WR. Honestly, I don't like MOBA games at all. I'm only hooked with MLBB I don't know why. Maybe because it's what my circles playing, more convenient and more easy. But a very toxic community.
In addition, I don't really like MOBA games at all like what I said. But what I'm interested the most is DOTA 2. It's just so happen I'm in a poor fuck country, having a gaming pc is a privilege. That's why MLBB is very popular here, almost everyone can play it in their mobile phones which is cheaper than pcs. Anyway, tho I'm playing MLBB for quite a long time, I'm with Riot for this case. But it is what it is. MLBB is already big.
@@Dr_Baizhu that’s bcuz of your skill issues
This is more of a lesson to western developers and players, they've been snubbing and underrating the mobile game market for years. Now it's dominated by Chinese and South Korean developers.
Being said, I play both game but stuck with Mlbb. They're both fine, Mlbb has faster and pacing and more intense all throughout the early to late game. Meanwhile, Wildrift has a slower-paced early game but ramps up fast in late game.
I don't why Riot won't copy entertaining events from Moonton.
Moonton had chess games, mayhem, mirror-mayhem, mirror, brawl, and even a Bomberman event.
If Moonton is blatantly copy Lol, Riot can do it too. 😂
I don't think anyone underrated the mobile market. Legit everyone with some form of income has a mobile phone now, but certain publishers don't need to use the sheer #s of mobile gaming to run fine. Plus, some games just don't work well mobile or have a higher player base on different units.
Why focus on mobile games when your player base is strongly PC/Console? I agree with the last part though, but league has ALWAYS been a strategic moba. Most games now are built to be faster paced with smaller learning curves. ( Referring to league mnot WR on the last bit )
@@connordrake5713 RIOT does have these modes💀 idk if you're being sarcastic but Moonton's Chess was plagiarised from RIOT's TFT...the so called mirror mode is the copy of RIOT's One for all...
@@rrreuelmenz bruh it's normal to have a mode like that...
@@chun-lisfan7366 Yeah but to have literal games similar to riot is not "normal"
Wait till i tell the Mobile Legends fans about this
Some say don't attend so many weddings, funeral or full month birthday parties as the ancestors like to attend them. Many ghost there.
Usually people pray to their own (direct) ancestors, it's odd that I say ancestors that include other people's ancestors.
Fun Fact: Moonton actually sued Riot as well. But with Defamation and won
That is some new shit
loool
chinese garbage
real?
@@CorTheBread yep
i dont blame riot no matter how much they gonna sue them 🤣
Meanwhile Moontoon was having an upcoming collaboration with one of the most popular anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" i think Riot mistakes is they can't move on and & keep attacking a company that dog walks them twice.

I played LoL years ago. So ofc i used to hate MLBB when it was new. But little did i know, after years passed . My brother got me addicted to MLBB. Ofc, i'd say MLBB is so unbalanced.. but this game is playable for kids,teens or adults.
So like i sometimes can play nicely. Or not. So atleast i can enjoy a game . Rather than LoL has too many experts, I would be sad
The gain and growth 📈. Philosopher's stone.
Hello I'm a player of mlbb since 2018, I also love the league community because I was fascinated by the lore of the game. I played the pc version but gave up because my laptop sucks. But then I can't play wild drift because I don't have enough space(since I prioritize ML). Right now I am using iphone 7 plus and I can run mlbb smooth even in high graphics. I love both games and it sucks because I can't get out of ML since I am very much used to the playstyle and since I've spent alot of money here. But yeah I'm also a fan of lol I regularly watch streams but sadly I don't have the device to run it. Yeah just wanna share since I'm a fan of both games although I only play mlbb as of right now which from what I see I will play continuously I love the game now since moonton really listen to its fanbase and I am liking the updates we are getting. but if ever I got myself to buy a new device I would prefer to play the pc version since I'm pretty much used to the gaming style of mlbb.
Because its more fascinating to play against players at an early stage of the moba game than almost not engaging at all.
I love arcade mode too. They really kill it.
iphone 7+? mwehhehehe
This is pretty much most players that play mlbb.
I'll gladly welcome you to the rift when you get an even better phone that can ran wr
tbh riot really messed up with how they handled this whole thing, they KNEW they were being copied by a mobile game mainly played in southeast asia and yet they just brushed it off like no big deal as if there isnt a shit ton of people there with functional phones and shitty pcs if any, and instead of realising that, oh, maybe we should stop this copy from spreading even more while its still taking its baby steps they just closed their eyes thinking the original (still only a pc game at the time) would win
?? like what was their plan to keep it under control, bc clearly it didnt work
When they (WR) focused on the community maybe will be different and stop the sue a lot saw own game maybe will different
I actually tried wild rift, although it did not meet my requirements. Its too damn difficult to adjust to a different 5v5 moba game, i have been playing ml since its first release in 2016 and wilddrift only came out 2020 they were so late that people became used to mlbb, just like me. So i dont know how to deal with LOL. Its nice but ML is easier to understand.
Yes, i also Mlbb players. I found out it's easier to play Omnyoji arena, AOV, and Marvel superwar because they had similar mechanism with mlbb. But Wildrift is too complicated like you can't buy item except at base, need to last attack the minion, darker maps, and the UI homepage is hard to understand
To be honest riot is just jealous on moonton because they lost now lol is just a dead game 😊
Da Hell is dead?
@@thedarkebika9488 yeah dead
