The gameplay of Mobile Legends is characterized by its fast-paced, adrenaline-filled action and smooth mechanics, making it addictive and enjoyable for many players. However, significant issues with matchmaking and high ping have been frequently highlighted, leading to frustrations over unbalanced teams and inconsistent experiences.

- “The hero selection menu during draft is not showing all heroes, and there is a ping issue; the ping is always at 200+ ms. Gameplay becomes frustrating. This is a MOBA game; every second matters, but Moonton only focuses on skins and all shamelessly.”

Mobile Legends is praised for its accessibility and optimization for mobile devices, delivering a solid 5v5 MOBA experience. However, many users report significant issues with matchmaking, network performance, and overall game stability, including frozen screens and stuttering, leading to frustration and a perception of unfair gameplay. Despite its strategic depth and character variety, the game's optimization, particularly in network performance, remains a major concern for long-time players.

- “Best team game... no need to purchase for performance... skill-based game... best strategic game.”
- “But I can give 5 stars for the performance of the game.”
- “Worse matchmaking system in gaming history. Even if you are in the top tier, you always get bot-like players on your team. It's a very toxic, money-hungry game. Lots of years have passed, but still no optimization in the network category, and the max FPS you get in this game is 60. It's a very frustrating game; play at your own risk. I've been playing this game for 7 years, and there's still no hope for improvement.”
- “This game is a total disaster when it comes to performance.”
- “Instead of enjoying the gameplay, I’m stuck staring at frozen screens, delayed responses, and constant stuttering.”

The story aspect of the game is generally praised for its animation and character design, but players express frustration with the matchmaking system, which they feel is rigged and leads to repeated losses due to imbalanced team compositions. Many users report a cycle of experiencing good teammates when purchasing in-game currency, only to revert to poor matchmaking, creating a frustrating gameplay experience.
- “The game is wonderful; the animation, storyline, weapons, and character designs are impressive.”
- “The story keeps repeating itself with imbalanced matchmaking, leading to frustrating experiences.”
- “I noticed that when I buy diamonds, my teammates are good, but after some time, the same story unfolds with worse teammates.”
- “The matchmaking is totally rigged. I reached Mythic once, but from the next season onwards, I got absolutely clueless and noob teammates, whereas the opponents were really good. I've been rolling from Legend 5 to 0 to 3 stars for more than 20 matches. This game purposely puts you with bad teammates so that you lose, get frustrated, and start another game thinking you'll have a better experience, but it repeats the same story: imbalanced matchmaking, and I doubt the developers will ever fix this.”
- “I noticed that when I buy diamonds, my teammates are good, but after some time, it's the same story: worst teammates.”
grinding

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that it feels necessary to progress and achieve higher ranks, but is hindered by poor hero power balancing and team dynamics. Many feel that early game farming is crucial for success, and current gameplay mechanics, such as weakened turret damage and extended crowd control durations, exacerbate the grind, making it difficult to recover from early setbacks.
- “I struggle with the grinding aspect of this game. I went from Epic V to Epic IV, and now I'm at Grandmaster I with only 3 stars! The game feels full of dark systems.”
- “The hero power balancing is the worst, and the team-up balancing is equally poor. If you fail in early game farming, you have no chance to win. Turret damage is very weak now, and crowd control durations are extended, making it almost impossible to escape once you're caught by enemy stuns, even from basic attacks.”
- “The grinding in this game is frustrating. It feels like a never-ending cycle with little reward for the effort put in.”
