Mobile Legends is now growing in immense popularity and as time passes by, a lot of competitive players are getting introduced into the game. With this in mind, Moonton is now taking their game into a much broader magnitude by molding Mobile Legends into a much competitive-inclined environment. Soon, the developers are hoping to add the Hero Bans in all of its game modes.
Mobile Legends Patch 1.1.64: Draft Pick Mode
The patch 1.1.64 is now live on Advance Servers, which is shown in the video uploaded by BluePanda. The new update brings new balance changes, features and game modes - which the latter, is Moonton's introduction of the Hero Bans into the game. The new game mode is called Draft Pick and it is similar to a basic 5v5 match except that in this mode, each team is given the chance to ban one hero from the selection board.
There are three phases to this mode: Ban, Pick and Free. During the ban phase, the fifth player of each team will be given the chance to ban one hero from the selection board. After this phase, the game moves on to the pick phase. During this time, players will now be able to choose any hero except, of course, the two heroes that were banned and those that were already selected. After the conclusion of this phase, the game moves to the final stage, which is the free phase. In this phase, players will be able to change spells, skins, gear set and emblems for their respective hero. It is also during this phase that players will be able to initiate swap hero with their teammates.
Moonton To Add Hero Bans Across All Modes
In the introduction of the Draft Pick mode, Moonton stated that, "this gameplay will be applied to other game mode as well gradually," which means that players can expect this feature to be added on Ranked and even in Brawl mode in the future. Apparently, no date was given as to when this feature will be incorporated on the said game modes. As for the time being, the Draft Pick will serve as the beta test for the hero bans and the decision of adding this feature to the rest of the modes may depend on the community's overall feedback.
