Patch
A patch is a game update that changes hero stats, items or systems. Each patch reshapes the meta, so competitive players track patch notes closely.
Patch — definition
A patch is an update the developer releases for a game such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. A patch can buff or nerf heroes, change items, adjust the map, or add new content. Patches are identified by version numbers (for example, MLBB's Season 41 ran on patch 2.1.88).
Why patches matter
- They reshape the meta — a buff can make a weak hero dominant overnight.
- Pros read patch notes — the official notes that ship with each patch tell competitive players what changed and why.
- They reset rank strategy — what worked last patch in the rank tiers may not work in the next.
Bahasa Malaysia note: Local players say "patch baru" (new patch) and "patch notes" directly.
