In terms of language, snowball comes from English which means "Snowball". If you look at the meaning, snowball refers to an object.

However, this is different when used in games. Mobile Legends because the term refers to a condition of the players.

Simply put, snowballing is a condition where a team or opponent gains an increasing advantage over time. This advantage can be in the form of gold, levels, or even map control.

Just like a snowball rolling down a hill and getting bigger as it moves, you will certainly find it difficult to hold it when the snowball is at the bottom because its strength and speed will continue to increase.

Likewise with snowball in Mobile Legends, when your opponent or team starts snowballing, they will become stronger and harder to stop. So that the opponent who is left behind has to struggle hard to catch up.

In such a situation, the team that successfully snowballs will usually continue to pressure the opponent, control the game, and ultimately increase their chances of winning.

Some heroes who have great potential for snowballing are heroes with strong early game abilities or heroes who can quickly collect gold, such as Ling. roger, and Yi Sun-Shin.

Snowball is one of the keys to winning a match, especially if you use the right hero.

Here's how to do snowball in ML.

Get First Blood

The first way to be able to snowball is to get the first first blood to get the gold and Exp advantage. Especially if you do it consistently to buy items quickly.

However, getting first blood is not the deciding factor in winning the match because the opponent can turn things around in the mid or late game.

Performing Cutting Line

The next step is to do a cutting line, which is a strategy where you cut off the opponent's minion path before they reach your team's turret or defense.

This strategy is done to hinder the path of the opponent's minions, so that they do not get gold and Exp from the minions, while your team can get more benefits.

In addition, to maximize the cutting line, you can use the offlaner or EXP Laner role hero.

Push Ganking Lane

Pushing ganking lanes can also be a strategy to speed up snowballing in the game. Pushing ganking lanes is a tactic where you and your team gank a particular lane,

After cutting lanes and reducing the enemy's minion wave, you can immediately switch to pushing ganking lanes by attacking enemy heroes who are alone or weak in that lane.

Taking Opponent's Buff

Next is to take the opponent's buff, one way to weaken the opponent and give the team an advantage. With Buff, you can increase mana regeneration, faster cooldown, and additional damage.

To do this, you need teamwork because usually the opponent's buff will be tightly guarded. As an alternative, you can also use a hero who has the speed to steal buffs such as Lancelot, Hayabusa, and Ling.

Secure the Turtle

Lastly is securing the turtle, although getting the turtle does not significantly affect the advantage. There is nothing wrong with securing the turtle to get additional gold benefits for your team.

Meanwhile, if the opponent is taking the turtle, you can take advantage of the moment to destroy the Tower. Especially if you are still in the early game because the turret still has a shield that contains a lot of Gold.
