1. Camera Height. If you select a low camera setting, the range of the displayed map will be limited. A high camera, on the other hand, will show most of the area. This will give you a wider view, you will be able to see the enemy sooner with this camera setting.
2. HD Mode. There is no significant difference when turning this mode on and off. You can disable HDto save device battery and increase FPS a bit. This mode is different from graphics settings, which have 4 options: low, medium, high and ultra. Of course, this choice will affect the resulting graphics. It is recommended to choose low graphic settings, as this will make the game smoother and more comfortable, although the image quality will be lost.
3. Health of forest monsters. By activating this setting, you will more clearly see the amount of health of forest monsters. It also shows the amount of damage dealt. This will help you farm more efficiently in the jungle and use Retribution in time.
4. Frame rate optimization. Enabling this setting will increase the frames per second during matches. We recommend that you always leave this mode active. But, it is worth remembering that it increases energy consumption and the battery runs out faster.
5. Aiming mode. In the control settings, you can choose 3 aiming methods: standard, advanced and additional. We recommend that you learn the game with the advanced mode and enabled the priority of aiming at the hero with the lowest amount of HP. This mode will allow you to choose a target for attack (minion, enemy character or tower).

Lines in a match

In the last major update of Mobile Legends, all the lanes that are on the map have been completely revised. Now it is divided into 5 zones, each of which has its own advantages for different types of characters. Next, we will consider each of them in more detail.

1. Line of gold.
   On the gold line are most often Arrows, and sometimes a tank is paired with them. Here, these heroes can earn gold faster and buy the first item. You should be wary of enemy assassins and roamers who can jump out of the bushes unnoticed and kill the shooter with a small amount of health. The correct tactic will be careful farming near the allied tower.
2. line of experience.
   This is where they go fightersto level up as quickly as possible. In this lane, it is better to choose a waiting strategy and farm carefully near the allied tower. Also, do not forget about Turtleto help allies in time and get extra gold.
3. Middle line.
   Most often sent to the mid-lane mages, which quickly clear the line. They should reach the fourth level as quickly as possible and go to the aid of their team in other lanes. You should also use the bushes in the mid lane to ambush enemy heroes.
4. Forest.
   The best area for killers. In the forest, these heroes can kill forest monsters and farm a lot of gold. It is recommended to take Retribution and buy a piece of equipment that increases speed, which is suitable for playing in the forest. It is also worth noting that such characters should not attack other minions in the lanes until the fifth minute of the game, as this will not bring much gold.
   That play well in the woods, you need to be in constant motion, as well as attack all the monsters that appear. First of all, you need to take away the red and blue buffs in order to increase the attack power and reduce the mana consumption for using skills.
5. Room.
   Support zone or tanks. When playing in this area, you need to constantly move between other lines and help your team. Success in the early game largely depends on such heroes, since it can be difficult for shooters and mages to cope with the onslaught of the enemy.

What is a credit account

credit account – rating of game behavior. This is an indicator of how often the user violates the rules of the game:

• Goes to AFK.
• Feed your enemies.
• Insults other players.
• Inactive.
• Shows negative behavior.

You can check the status of your credit account by following the path: "Profile" -> "Battlefield" -> "Credit Account". Each player is given 100 points at the beginning of the game, later they change based on the actions in the game - they are added if nothing is violated, and subtracted if the rules are not followed.

For AFK, feeding and negative behaviors, 5 credit score points are deducted. If you commit several serious violations in a short period, then the amount of the deduction increases to 8-10 points. You will also lose a credit score point if, after searching for a match, you do not confirm participation in it.

They can also deduct points for complaints that other players file against you (you can submit a report at the end of each match). For a complaint accepted by the system, you will be deducted 2-3 points. If more than one player submits a complaint, the deduction increases to 3-7 points.

What to do to get credit score points:

• If there are less than 100 of them, then you will receive one point for daily entry into the game. 1 point - each completed match (it doesn't matter if it's a win or a loss).
• If you have more than 100 credit points, then you will receive 1 new point for every 7 completed matches.

Please note that the credit score after reaching 70 points cannot be restored in the "Against the computer" mode, you need to play matches with real players. If the credit score falls below 60, then the player is denied access to the Arcade Games.

The screenshot shows the benefits of a high Credit score in the game and how it limits the user.

How to create a team, group, exit the match

Team - an association of players who gather together in a clan and go through rating matches, receiving additional rewards and bonuses for this. You can create your own team by going to the "Teams" tab (lower right corner under the list of friends) and then opening the item "Create a team».

Please note that for this your level must be at least 20, and you will also have to pay 119 diamonds. The creator immediately becomes a leader in the team and makes all the important decisions:

• Give the name, abbreviated name, motto and set the region.
• Set entry requirements.
• Exclude negative players (maximum 14 people per week).
• Accept players.
• Clear the list of applications for joining the team.

Members can communicate in the general chat, freely leave the team and join new ones. If the leader leaves the team, then the leadership position passes to the most active participant. The team will be completely disbanded after the last player leaves it.

The activity and strength of the team is directly affected by the rank and game behavior of the participants. And if the members play together, then the activity grows faster. Activity is updated every week, and strength is updated every season.

Group - association of players to participate in matches. You can form groups with your friends, team or random players. To do this, go to the match lobby - ranked mode, casual, arcade, or any other where team play is available.

Use the "Invite group members" button, which is located under the list of friends. Confirm your action and go to the group menu. Here, switch to the "To create a group».

How is a group different from a team?

• You can create or join two groups at the same time.
• The maximum number of participants in a team is 9, and in a group - 100.
• You can assign administrators to the group.
• You can create both for diamonds and for battle points.

The creator gives a name, sets tags, writes a welcome introduction and sets the geolocation of the group, and also regulates the acceptance of applications. The higher the level of the group, the more privileges and the number of members it has. Like the team, there is a player activity system that is counted and reset daily, and grows through chatting.

To exit the match, you must click on the arrow in the upper right corner. Then you leave the lobby. If you or the creator of the lobby has already clicked on start, then you can have time to cancel the loading of the battle. To do this, click on the cross next to the timer that appears at the top of the screen.

In extreme cases, you can not confirm readiness for battle, but for this you may have a credit score reduced and a restriction imposed for at least 30 seconds (the timer increases if you violate the rule several times in a short period).
