Mobile Legends tests Patch 2.1.82 with hero nerfs, buffs and battlefield effects

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is testing another Advanced Server balance pass, and Patch 2.1.82 looks like a meaningful one for meta-watchers. The headline changes include nerfs to Balmond, Freya and Gloo, while Argus gets a partial stat revert and Hanzo receives control improvements. Hirara also gets some previous nerfs rolled back, and Ruby receives adjustments to smooth her early-to-late power curve.

The patch also brings Battlefield Effects testing back, which could matter beyond individual hero numbers if Moonton is experimenting with how matches feel structurally. This is Advanced Server content, so not every number should be treated as final. Still, it gives ranked players a useful early warning: some of the current comfort picks may not stay comfortable for long.
