The study we’ve conducted shows that with 58 students with 24 male

respondents 34 female respondents shows that most of the respondents prefer

playing Multiplayer Online Battle Arena or MOBA in both Section A and B, wherein

games such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang! League of Legends, Arena of Valor,

Clash of Clans, Heroes Arena are categorized. It is also evident in this study that

when combined, the game most of the respondents plays Mobile Legends followed

by League of Legends.

The second type is the First Person Shooting or FPS with games like Rules

of Survival or Cross Fire. As for Massive Online Role Playing Games, there are still4

respondents playing game like Ragnarok.

On the other hand, both section A and B, with 70% and 45% respectively on

playing for 3 hours or more, it can be seen that males play online games longer than

females.
