INTRODUCTION
 Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is an action-strategy MOBA game

(Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) designed for mobile gaming. It was developed

and published by Moonton, a Chinese video game developer and publisher based

in Shanghai. MLBB is game that pits five players against five other players in a

game of survival. Teamwork and strategy play an important role in the 10-minute-

long matches. Players can choose from a bunch of classes: Tanks, Mages,

Assassins, Supports, Marksmen, etc. The game has simple controls and is

appreciated for its fast-paced matches (Banerjee, 2021).

In 2019, the game won Most Favorite Game of the Year and Most Favorite

Tournament of the Year at the EXGCON Indonesia Gaming Awards. There is no

denying that it is one of the most increasingly popular games in Asia and the rest

of the globe.

In 2020, MLBB had over 1 billion game downloads, with over 100 million

registered users and 25 million monthly active users in the Philippines (Evident,

2022)

Due to this extent of popularity, students are also inclined in joining the

trend of playing Mobile Legends. Playing this game may have become a hobby,

leisure time activity, or source of income of some people. Some students tend to

play this game more than any activity they should such as studying, thus hindering

their performance in school. Some students, on the other hand, can still balance

their time in playing and in other activities.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

Related Literature

According to Kosasih et al. (2022), the results show that the Individual

counselling offers optimistic counselling techniques that assume everyone can

progress, achieve goals, or receive positive evaluations so that they can overcome

counselees with Mobile Legends Online Game Addiction. And Ansar (2021), the

Adolescence is one of the transitional periods of human development, where a

person cannot be called an adult but no longer a child. The biggest users of online

games in Indonesia are teenagers. Pleasure and fun when playing games cause

feelings of helplessness or inability to stop playing online games. Then Safi’i

(2021), women who are addicted to mobile legend online games in Pekanbaru

think that they cannot be separated from playing the games. They act according to

their own views and feelings and are more comfortable socializing with groups

than they are socializing in the real world.

Therefore, Ting Ting (2022), the results demonstrated that IGD was

positively predicted by need frustration. The associations between need frustration

and IGD were significantly mediated by social, escape, competition, coping, and

skill motives. Fantasy and recreational impulses, however, were not important

mediators. MOBA players who struggled to meet their basic necessities might give

in to irrational gaming behaviour. Future prevention and intervention efforts

should therefore promote youths' development of a strong, positive mentality

while also addressing their basic.

 Based on the research Chua (2019), the results of this study can inform

young adults and the general public on their gaming habits. Based on the variables

examined in relation to game addiction, several preventative and intervention

strategies can be used.

Moreover, Gunawan (2021), a study shows that Brand Experience and

Brand Image have significant positive effects on Customer Satisfaction and

Customer Loyalty. The study was carried out at the e-sports game Mobile Legends

Bang Bang in Surabaya, Indonesia. It also found that brand experience has a

significant positive effect on customer satisfaction. Intervention

Therefore Brunborg et al. (2014), while playing video games for extended

periods of time was not linked to any of the negative outcomes examined, video

game addiction was linked to conduct issues, decreased academic success, and

depression.

And Wang (2021), psychological ownership of a virtual gaming

environment is favourably correlated with motivations for achievement and

escape. High primary (secondary) control people are more (less) likely to become

addicted to online games. According to the inverted-U association between

psychological ownership and OGA, psychological ownership levels that are either

too low or high are linked to lower OGA.

Therefore Durak et al. (2022), the results of the study will shed light on

school-based prevention studies in terms of determining the distinguishing factors

for gifted and non-gifted high school students’ online game playing behaviours.
 In additions Novrialdy et al. (2019), with an average score of 198,48 and

an achievement score level of 55,14%, the results indicated that high school

students' comprehension of the dangers of online game addiction fell into the

moderate category. As a result, school counsellors must increase high school

pupils' awareness of the dangers of gaming addiction.

Then Augur & Hasan (2019), internet parenting styles with high degrees

of parental warmth, authority, and authoritarianism were associated with lower

levels of online game addiction in adolescents than other parenting styles. While

the study did not find any significant differences between adolescent age, father

education level, or addiction to online games, it did find significant disparities

between maternal education level, socioeconomic status, and playing time.

Therefore Hellman et al. (2013), the paper outlines several aspects of the

issue and states in its conclusion that evidence suggests there may be a particular

problematic online gaming behaviour that is so strikingly similar to the idea and

experience of addiction that it is advantageous to draw comparisons between the

two.

And lastly Kiatsakared & Chen (2022), further analysis of these findings

reveals that players' activity passion significantly modifies the relationship

between experiencing flow and developing an addiction to online games, and that

players with obsessive passion are more likely to develop an addiction to online

games than those with harmonious passion. Future research will examine the

factors that contribute to online game addiction from many angles.

Related Studies

According to Kobis & Tomatala (2020), to determine the answers to all of

the research questions, this study uses both quantitative and qualitative

methodologies, including questionnaires and interviews. 31 first year STMIK

Multicom Bolaang Mongondow students who chose information technology as

their major served as the study's respondents. The majority of participants in this

study believed that MLBB was a useful tool for learning English. 58.1% said that

playing MLBB increased their vocabulary, 61.3% said it helped them practice

listening, 58.1% said they could read and spell English well after playing MLBB,

48.4% said it helped them with writing, and 67.7% said it improved their English

speaking and pronunciation.

And Loa & Berlianto (2022), the findings looked at how social value,

quality, and economic value affected satisfaction and desire to repurchase, with the

exception of social value, which had no impact on either. While purchase intention

was impacted by continuing use intention, satisfaction also affected willingness to

pay and continued usage. This study has successfully added to the body of

knowledge about the factors that affect satisfaction, intention to continue using,

intention to buy, and willingness to pay.

Therefore, Slamet (2021), everyone is inspired to be more creative as a

result of the influence brought on by the development of mobile phones. As a

result, mobile game development is accelerating, which has an effect on

adolescents’ physical and mental health. Teenagers will become addicted to

gaming as a result of the negative effects of playing too many games.

Moreover, Santosa & Mustafidah (2021), in Moro Cell, a diamond sales

information system for Mobile Legends has been developed as a result of this

research. It can assist users in purchasing diamonds and draw users to Moro Cell.

With this sales system, consumers receive more assistance from the system’s

transaction process, and some users are interested in some of its services, such as

its member features.

And Fabito & Cabredo (2019), understanding the aesthetics that Filipino

gamers encounter and their psychological motives for playing mobile games

begins with this study. The findings showed that players favour mobile games that

provide challenge, competition, expressiveness, and community.

Therefore, Ikhsani & Haryono (2022), the results showed that financial

management behaviour is significantly influenced by factors such as income, self-

control, financial attitude, and financial literacy. The hedonistic style of life has

little impact in the meanwhile. This was found because the majority of respondents

were still in their teens and continued to live with their parents, and since one of

the study’s constraints was that questionnaires could only be distributed online.

Therefore, additional study is required in order to use the model and disseminate

questions both offline and online. There are several methods for studying financial

management behaviour.

Then Irmayani & Anas (2020), the results showed 1) There are a number
of signs that students are addicted to MOBA games; 2) Factors that affect students

who are addicted to online games include: a) the availability of rewards and

feedback on games; b) the reduction of boredom; c) dispelling loneliness

stereotypes; d) the inability of addicted players to interact socially; e) low self-

esteem and self-efficacy; and f) the virtual environment. 3) The harm brought on

by online game addiction. 4) The teacher took the following efforts: a) Individual

counselling; b) Home visits.

And Chen et al. (2021), the findings demonstrate that M3Rec generates

recommendations that are superior to those produced by state-of-the-art sequential

recommendation approaches and successfully addresses the challenges of

recommendation in online games.

Then Souza (2021), the findings show that, despite the fact that female

participation in online gaming has increased over the past five years, toxicity was

universally acknowledged as a behavior that exists in games and demotivates some

players who must employ alternative tactics to avoid it.

And lastly, Paulina (2021), the discovery showed that 63 words are classified as

class-maintaining or class-changing derivations and contain derivational affixes.

With affixes like â€ce, â€er, â€ness, â€ure, â€ence, â€ion, â€ation, â€al, â€ment,

â€dom, â€"ity, and â€"ster, noun derivations (22 words) with class-altering

derivation are also included. affixes like be- and em- to form two-word verb

derivations. Affixes like â€"y, -ful, -tant, -al, -en, and â€"ic are used to create 11

words of adjective derivations. With affixes like a-, -ly, and â€"y, adverbs can be
derived in five words. Including nouns (13 words) with affixes like in-, -y, -ner, -

ness, -ian, and â€"ship, the total of 23 words demonstrates class-maintaining

derivation. Verb, consisting of seven words, with the suffixes be-, ful-, pre-, re-,

and up-. three-word adjectival phrase with the im- , -y and –eous.

Reasons making the Grade 12 Students of Bilad High School Enjoy Playing

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is an Online game favored by adolescents;

they like this game to relieve stress if it is overplayed the players will be addicted

like they don`t care about the people around them.

The covid 19 pandemic has increased Mobile Phone usage among Students

around the world. As a result, the number of students who started playing Mobile

legends and quickly became addicted to them whether they were pre-installed,
played offline, or played online, has also greatly increased.

The findings of Penamor (2021), Reveals that stress, sadness, loneliness,

and a lack of real interaction and socialization drive the two instances to take up

playing Mobile Legends too much and to recklessly has a negative impact on their

achievement.
