Mobile Legends Matchmaking Exploit
- last week we talk about the mobile legends exploit
- however we may have a new issue
- because Mobile Legends has released a statement regarding the new matchmaking exploit plaguing their game
- The matchmaking exploit happens when a team divides into 2 or 3 groups then queues up at the same time
- in short 2-2-1 or 2-3 grouping
- if the exploit is successfully done it's going to be 5 man line up versus solo and duo queue players
- which gives them unfair advantage since they will be more coordinated specially if they play as a team
- Here is the summary of what Mobile Legends said
- Recently the Mobile Legends team noticed players exploiting the match making mechanism
- this is to gain irregular team up advantage against solo queue players
- according to them this method goes against the fairness and competitive spirit of the game
- and because of this according to Mobile Legends they have designed countermeasures to fight against the exploits
- as for the fix it will be out next week then those who are found as offenders well don't worry you will just get warning
- however in serious cases you will get banned
- So have you experienced this? do think Mobile Legends should have just banned them instead of warning? let us know in the comments!
MaxBox AoV Disband
- On a recent facebook post one of the Philippines Arena of Valor team officially announced they are disbanding their team
- This is what they said “It was an incredible and memorable run for all of us here in MaxBox Gaming”
- We thank our players for their dedication and hard work. Also to our passionate fans who wished us success ever since we came to be. MaxBox Gaming now signing-off.
- So what is the reason for their team to disband?
- According to their statement this is due to profitability and sponsorships
- and that the management team can no longer sustain the team up to this year
- They also added that hopefully they inspired local esports community and the AoV fanbase
- Sad news mga kagamer another team bites the dust
- so what do you think is managing a team sustainable still? or should MaxBox shift their focus to Mobile Legends?
