MLBB patch 1.5.16: This is the Project NEXT patch you’ve been waiting for

Project NEXT is live.

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang‘s latest patch has nerfed a few S-tier meta heroes picked at the professional level that were previously untargeted, and brings to life revamps for Zilong, Miya, Eudora, Saber, Alucard and Layla.

Here are the biggest winners and losers of MLBB patch 1.5.16:

Wind Blade

Windblow

Buffed back inpatch 1.4.94, those changes weren’t enough to push Vale into the highest tier. Recognizing that he still needed a boost, Moonton is buffing him again in a mix of utility, cooldown reduction and damage on his second skill.

Will these changes be sufficient to push him up to S-tier?

Blood Awe

Blood Ode

Moonton explained that Alice relies heavily on her ultimate’s damage and restoration, and previously lacked combat ability whenever her ultimate was on cooldown.

To improve her design, the developers revamped her ultimate in this update, which MLBB players are celebrating by calling her a true Mage Tank. She’ll now be able to better enter the thick of action. Just remember to to watch her mana bar!

Mortal Coil

Decimate

Out of nowhere, Moonton decided to give Martis some love. MLBB players would be happy with the increased base damage to his first skill and the movement speed he holds onto from his ultimate, which gives him more time to reposition in fights.

Passive – Frigid Breath

Perfect Match

The increased cooldown of two seconds on Perfect Match isn’t a big nerf, and it means that Atlas players will need to be shrewd about when to engage. However nerfs to the physical defenses he gains in Frigid Breath means that he’s less tanky than before and it will be felt in the early game.

Soul Grip

Black Dragon Form

According to Moonton, they targeted on his cooldowns with the intention of increasing “his downtime between teamfights” and reduce his overall durability. His first and second skill received a slight increase of about two seconds, but it’s his ultimate that was nerfed significantly.

Up from a flat 65 seconds to as much as 85 seconds at level four, this definitely reduces his presence in full on fights.
