The details for the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Patch 1.6.50 have been revealed. The upcoming update delivers a ton of balance changes to most heroes who are dominating the current meta in the mobile MOBA title. A few battlefield changes will also be implemented in the upcoming patch and these may potentially shake up the meta. A new fighter hero named Yin will also make his debut in the mobile MOBA title. The new hero is perfect for players who prefer the roamer role or he can also be played in the solo lane as he gains power when there are no allied heroes nearby.
