MLBB heroes are more than just characters. They’re the identities you embrace, they’re part of the strategies you perfect, and the stories you shape every match.

But with so many heroes added to the growing lineup every few months, how does Mobile Legends: Bang Bang keep its hero roster fresh, inclusive, and exciting?

The secret lies in creating MLBB heroes that break stereotypes and offer players endless ways to express their unique playstyles.

Unlike many games that rely on traditional gender roles, MLBB heroes are designed to move beyond the male-female divide. Players care less about gender and more about variety, creativity, and how each hero impacts gameplay.

Eric Zhou, a character designer at Moonton Games, explained this philosophy during an interview with ONE Esports. “We believe in a diverse and inclusive hero roster,” he said.

“This is why we create non-human heroes like Grock, the Fortress Titan, and Gloo, the Swamp Spirit. It’s all about maintaining a balance so that players have a wide variety of heros to enjoy!” he added.

Whether it’s the latest hero, Suyou, or a mythical creature like Gloo, each character opens up new experiences, helping players explore different roles on the battlefield.

Before heroes are released, they first appear on the Advanced Server, where players can test them and provide feedback. This ensures that new heroes meet the expectations of the MLBB community.

“Player preference is a core consideration in every decision we make, whether it’s hero creation, IP collaborations, or revamping older heroes,” Zhou stated.

This approach ensures that the game remains fresh and exciting. It also gives players a sense of ownership, knowing their input shapes the game they love.

This approach not only avoids potential missteps but also fosters a sense of collaboration between the developers and the player base.

The dynamic between creativity and community engagement has become essential in today’s competitive gaming industry.

Mobile Legends’ roster of heroes ensures that players have the freedom to shape their own experience. Heroes like Suyou reflect the game’s emphasis on strategy over stereotypes, letting players focus on how a hero feels in battle rather than how they look or what gender they are.
