SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro 80+ heroes to choose from
There are a number of well-balanced heroes and items to choose from.
Pro Nice ranking system
So nice, that you can get to the highest rank with the first hero you receive.
Pro Balanced gameplay
Most games are very close. There are no champions that are "broken", and matchups place you with and against players of equal skill levels. (This is sarcasm)(All the heroes are broken)
Cons
Con Bad matchmaking and Equally bad credit system
The matchmaking of this game itself causes many rage quits in game be it any tier. You can't play to your full potential more than half of the time because either your teammates are cancer noobs or pros carrying the whole game and trolling others. Then if someone played so bad that they deserve to be punished the game hardly punishes them. the punishment system is extremely bad but the developers never pay attention to it
Con Bullshit ranking system
Loose a star loose a rank, credits to stupid elementary players and stupid developers.
Con Skins boost stats
You can have stat bonuses if you buy a skin with real money, but the bonuses can be considered negligible (e.g. +8 Physical Atk for Assassins/Fighter/Marksman, +8 Magic Power for Mages, and +100 HP for tanks).
Con Membership advantage
The Starlight Members in the game usually always win not for skills but rather "Pay-to-win".
Con Stun - disable meta game
Most heroes have stuns and disables, which makes the gameplay challenging. Too many stuns doesn't allow players to show their full skill-play since after the 3 sec stuns there are very few ways to escape and probably leads to an instadeath.

Flagged Pros + Cons
Con matchmaking
In casual matches, you will get noobs, toxic players and afk 99% of the time as your team and/or as your enemies. The only way to prevent this is to get friends to play with you or be in a squad. 100% recommend playing ranked matches to have a better chance of a good gameplay.
Out of Date Pros + Cons
Con Imbalanced heroes
They pay attention more to their new heroes. Their old heroes have become useless and are not taken n ranks, and meanwhile They are underestimated. Even though most players complain about imbalance, they ignore it. They keep buffing new overpowered heores more and more but do nothing to their old but loyal heroes of the initial Mobile Legends. How sad to see your favourite heroes to be called useless.
Con The developers pay little to no attention to real issues
Instead, they do surveys about skins.
Con Bugs
Heroes like Fanny, Kagura and Johnson have so many bugs which are yet to be fixed.
Con Not well optimized to run smoothly even on high end devices
Eventhough graphics is medicore, its not well optimized that even midrange phones are having a hard time playing this title fluently. There are mobas out there that looks better and runs better than this game sad to say, it really is a bummer since this game is really fun to play.
Con Game does not have enough depth to play
Content are not that good compared to other MOBAs.
