Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is a multiplayer online battle arena mobile game developed and published by Moonton. The game was released worldwide for Android on July 14, 2016 and later for iOS on November 9, 2016.
Gameplay
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is a multiplayer online battle arena game designed for mobile phones. The two opposing teams fight to reach and destroy the enemy's base while defending their own base for control of a path, the three "lanes" known as "top", "middle" and "bottom", which connects the bases.
In each team, there are five players who each control an avatar, known as a "hero", from their own device. Weaker computer-controlled characters, called "minions", spawn at team bases and follow the three lanes to the opposite team's base, fighting enemies and turrets.
Lawsuit
It has been revealed on July 11, 2017 that Riot Games, the company that develops and publishes the MOBA PC game League of Legends, has filed a lawsuit against the developer of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Shanghai Moonton Technology in the Central District Court of California as it had infringed on several trademarks in the game, including the game map, which looks similar to the well-known Summoner's Rift. Two other games, Magic Rush: Heroes and Mobile Legends: 5V5 MOBA were also brought into the question. It was also revealed that Moonton quietly took down the predecessor — Mobile Legends: 5V5 MOBA, after Riot Games attempted to contact Google Play and Apple's App Store to take the game down, and re-uploaded the same game with a different name — Mobile Legends: Bang Bang with a few tweaks including the logo change, as the first also resembled the League of Legends logo.
