Mobile Legends Patch 2.1.88: Full Changelog

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has launched patch 2.1.88, introducing a series of hero adjustments, gameplay tweaks, and system improvements. The full changelog was shared by the developers in their official notes.

The new patch brings targeted hero balance changes, aiming to refine gameplay experiences across several roles. Developers focused on improving hero utility, adjusting cooldowns, damage output, and overall skill responsiveness. In addition, certain system mechanics have been optimized to enhance fairness and fluidity during matches, making interactions more consistent and predictable for both casual and competitive players.
