In the media, not least on these pages, Arena of Valor has garnered considerable attention.
It's not unwarranted. The game has been nothing less than a phenomenon in China, where it's known as Honor of Kings. This is where the majority of its reported $1.9 billion revenues for 2017 came from.
These kinds of revenues inevitably turn heads, and the world watched with interest as Tencent began to roll out the MOBA worldwide at the end of 2017.
But another mobile MOBA from a Chinese company, Moonton's Mobile Legends, has drawn attention primarily for controversial reasons after being the subject of a lawsuit from League of Legends developer Riot Games in July 2017.
Despite this, Mobile Legends was Indonesia's highest-ranked mobile game for both downloads and grossing in January 2018. It far outperformed Arena of Valor in Southeast Asia's biggest mobile games market.
Is this story being repeated elsewhere in the world, and does Mobile Legends deserve more credit?
Face-off
We'll begin by looking at the US, a major audience for PC-based MOBAs and esports, and a key target market for any mobile game of this nature.
It would have been a simply implausible target for Arena of Valor to replicate its Chinese success in the US, and so it has proved.

In our Mobile Legends Jungle Guide, we have detailed everything you need to know about best junglers, monster respawns, buffs, and how to jungle in general.
Jungling is when you leave the lane, stay in the jungle to level up, and help your fellow teammates by doing surprise attacks in their teams. Basic thing that your team will be relying on you will be ganking. You should always gunk when your abilities have been unlocked and updated. Always support your weakest lane, as this is your main job as a ganker. Your best bet to get a kill while ganking will be when your enemy’s escape skills are down.
As a ganker, never reveal your location. Going near to the lane will reveal your location to the enemy so you should always stay in the shadows and work from there. Try to anticipate enemy’s movements and plan your attack accordingly. Keep an eye on the enemy’s jungler and keep your team updated about his activities. Even when there are enemy heroes near your tower, the only thing preventing them from taking your tower is the thought that there is a ganker around and may jump on them at any time so be stealthy.
Another task as a jungler for you is to slay the monsters and get buffs for your team. Slay Lord and Turtle to get epic buffs for your whole team. Practice the last hit on monsters as the enemy’s jungler might be on the same page with you. You must have a thorough knowledge of the complete map so that you do not have to spend time exploring and finding monster spawning places, as random movement will increase the chance of encountering enemy’s jungler. Use ping to alert teammates about enemy’s jungler’s movements.
