Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is an online Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) where achieving a low ping is very important. It is a fast-paced game where small mistakes due to skill casting delays and wrong positioning impact the whole game. Using a fiber connection is needed to get the best game experience but not everyone has the luxury for that. Here are a few steps that help reduce ping inside the game with the internet connection that you have.

1
Switch to a better mobile network operator. Another network operator may be less congested and maybe making use of newer technology allowing them to offer a faster internet connection.
- You may need to position your device so that there is less interference between you and the cell tower.
2
Optimize your Wi-Fi settings. You may need to make use of the 5GHz channel if it's available on your router. Slowdowns are caused by congestion as Wi-Fi devices can't communicate simultaneously.
- You can also switch your router to a 5GHz, as it brings a stable ping.

When the Wi-Fi is being used by multiple users/devices, it may lower the ping of the game. You may have to disconnect certain devices that you use and avoid using apps that download files to avoid a lower ping.

Speed mode is an in-game feature that does software tricks to improve in-game ping by using more data. This is proven helpful under most circumstances. This can also sometimes degrade the experience so test whether it improves the ping. If it worsens the experience and adds more lag, disable the feature.
Network Boost works on iOS devices that allow LTE coverage, as it makes a smoother experience. You will need to turn on both a WiFi signal and an LTE system in order to use the system.
3
Download and use game network booster VPNs. Network Boosters VPN apps re-route your connection to achieve less ping. UU Game Booster is recommended by the game developers of MLBB.
- VPNs may lag other players out, so take notice of this.
If you choose Ultra Graphics on games, your FPS may lower in multiple cases. You can change it to a Medium/Smooth selection by clicking on settings and adjusting what graphics you want to use.
If you're still getting a bad ping, you may need to ask customer service, as the problem may be on MLBB servers.

Latest wireless network technologies like 5G and Wi-Fi 6 offer improved ping but may be costly because they require you to buy devices that are compatible. 5G is subject to availability in your area.
