MLBB Advanced Server Patch 1.8.72 Update: Tank Hero and Equipment Adjustments

The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Advanced Server Patch Patch 1.8.72 update has arrived featuring a plethora of adjustments for the game. This patch focuses on adjusting Tank equipment in the game. To compensate for the adjustment, most Tank heroes have also received a slight buff in the MLBB Advanced Server Patch 1.8.72 update to prevent them from underperforming. This update is looking to prevent non-tank heroes from abusing some of the equipment catered towards tanks or fighters. 

Here are the MLBB Advanced Server Patch 1.8.72 full notes and details including hero and gameplay changes.
