Mobile Legends Bang Bang January Update patch notes: All hero adjustments featuring Alice, Yve, and more

Developer Moonton Games has stirred up the game’s meta a little bit in the Mobile Legends Bang Bang January Update patch notes. A designer's note that arrived in the in-game mailbox in December revealed the recent adjustments made to the current meta were a result of hero performances in the recently ended M championships and the new S31.

While players are curious to see which heroes are finally getting the first buffs of the season and which ones are falling out of favor, note that this Mobile Legends Bang Bang January Update patch notes are not full-fledged as usual. Instead, consider that these are some initial adjustments that need more testing, and the complete patch notes will arrive soon in future updates.

Melissa (buff)

Moonton wants Melissa to be less reliant on reducing cooldowns by damaging enemies, with more balanced early and late-game damage.
