Mobile Legends: Bang Bang just received an emergency patch on the original server, even though the game is still running Patch 1.9.76. Moonton rushed these balance changes to address heroes that were either dominating or falling behind in the current meta. Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s new and what it means for your ranked grind.
Gord has always been strong at range but folded easily in close fights. This patch improves his survivability:
Skill 1 casts faster when enemies are nearby.
Orb speed increased from 12.5 to 14.
These changes aim to make Gord a viable mid-lane pick in poke compositions, offering both range and utility in chaotic team fights.
Kimmy’s ultimate now correctly applies the 75% slow effect in its second phase. However, to balance this fix:
Ultimate damage is reduced by 25%.
She’s still dangerous in sustained fights but no longer a burst-heavy menace.
Yi Sun-shin (YSS) gets a major buff:
Ultimate cooldown is now a flat 60 seconds.
Duration increased from 10s to 15s.
That’s five extra seconds of map-wide pressure, zoning, and vision. Expect him to shine again in macro-focused comps.
Joy’s passive magic bonus is reduced:
From 100% to 80%.
This hits her burst damage outside of her ultimate. She’s still hard to pin down, but now more punishable if you whiff combos.
Diggie’s casting animations were outdated. This patch gives him a smoother, faster kit:
Skill 1 back swing removed.
Skill 2 animation sped up by 20%.
It’s a quality-of-life change, restoring his value in zoning, vision control, and utility spam.
Chang’e sees a shift in power:
Ultimate cooldown reduced to 24s at level 1, 20s at max (down from 36–30s).
Magic bonus reduced from 33% to 21%.
More frequent ults mean more pressure, even if each hit deals slightly less.
Three exciting new skin concepts for Hyalos are making rounds:
Infernal Warlord – Purple flames, molten armor.
Celestial Guardian – Radiant gold and aqua, unicorn-inspired.
Oriental Blossom – Red-white-gold armor with cherry blossom accents.
