ways that create activity loops of gameplay without abusing the
player's motivations. Battling enemies/opponent gain more experience
points (EXP) to level up and gain gold to buy new heroes to use in rank
game or normal game. This leads to activity loops because not being
rewarded, immediately motivates players to grind to "grind" or
continue to battle certain opponents in attempt to win the game.
Furthermore, there are optional rank game that can give you a tier or
even progress the game. The game is another form of operant
conditioning, where beating certain opponents progresses the game.
This in its own way reward to the player as it changes what actions
(the "cause ") the player will take (Zook, 2018).

CHAPTER II
REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter exhibits some related literature connect to the
research including themes to be used in the study like satisfaction
positive and negative experience and some related studies.
Satisfaction
Possibly one of the most satisfying and best mobile games as of
now. Mobile Legends is pretty easy to play, mobile legend game can
also play with friends. You can also receive reward like a bet when you
play with friends or when you join in the tournament as a team.
Mobile Legends is very popular and in demand in asia especially in
the Philippines. In fact, until June 23,2017 total of 12,675,696

accounts are known to have downloaded this game on the Google play
store (Universitas Muhammad, Malang, ND)
Positive experience
This is a worldwide game, many person play it. It is an online
game and can be played on PC or smartphones. You can also make a
team and join tournament games to win all the winning prizes. Some
say that it can be harmful to a person. But think of it, playing mobile
games have positive effects to the players. Researchers came up with a
study to show that there is also an effect in mobile games (ML) to the
behavior and health of students. There are positive and negative
effects. Positive effects: improving brain functions and educating
children (Emano, ND)
Dockril (2012) stated that students who regularly spend time
playing mobile games are developing analytical and problem solving
skins that can also help them in their school work. He also said that
when you play online/mobile games you're solving puzzles to move to
the next level and that involves using some of the general knowledge
and skills in math, reading and strategic analysis that you're been
taught during the day.
Negative experience
But think of it, playing mobile games like mobile legends have
negative effects to the player. Such as insomnia, lack of sleep, always

feeling tired, stressed and weight loss are the common negative effects
in playing mobile legends. Because of playing mobile legends it may
affect your personality there's a possible that you will be more
aggressive (Senpai, 2019).
It can cause distraction while performing another important
activity, affecting social interaction, sleep problems and loss of
productivity (Sunstar Ph, 2019). Negative experience can be avoided
by your child, just guide them well and make a schedule for their
games. You could set up a time for their mobile games and family
outdoors. Through that activity, the interaction of the child to their
mobile games can be avoided or lessen (Emano, ND)
Related studies
Mobile games have become one of the most important
entertainment tools for children, teenagers students and even adults
all around the globe allowing access to the virtual world with
unlimited possibilities, mobile games compulsively attract many
people. In fact, they have become an Integral part of human society. In
other words, by providing virtual fun and entertaining environments
(Demirbileka & Lema Taner, 2018)
Also in the article of Kimberly Young (2009), excessive gaming
has been identified as a specific subtype of Internet addiction
(Block,2008)." Video game may look innocent, but they can be

addictive as gambling or drugs and just as hard to kick". Explained by
Keith Bakker, director of Amsterdam. Based Smith and Jones
addiction consultants and founder of the center.
According to the USA Today Network (2018), the world health
organizations says that compulsively playing mobile/online games
now qualifies as a new mental health conditions; in a movie that some
critics warn may risk stigmatizing too many young players.

This method describes human experience to a certain phenomenon and
happenings in their lives (Olea, Mirasol, Tyrrell & Ganall, 2019). This is
an approach to explore the experiences of ML players through an
interview.
a. Sampling
Purposive sampling will be employed in the study. According to
Faltado, Bombita, Boholano, and Pogoy (2016), they described this kind
of sampling as a judgement which uses practical considerations in
choosing the participants. The researchers will advance the following
considerations: (1) Participant who will play mobile legends and join in
the division tournament in school; and, (3) The student who play since
season 1 for more experiences to explore.

Data Collection
The researchers collect data using Interview from the player of
mobile legends in aguisan national high school.
Interview According to (Ary, 2010) interview is one of the most
often used and basically methods for obtains the qualitative data and
used to gather the data about opinion, beliefs, and feelings about
situation in their word. (Ary, 2010) divided interview into 3; semi or
partially structured interview, unstructrured interview, and structured
interview. Interview in which the areas of interest are selected and
questions are formulated but the interviewer may modify the question
format during the interview process is called
semi structured interview. While the instructured interview questions is
interview that occurred from the situation. Structured interviews are
more schedules in specific goals to get certain data from the subject. The
researcher conducted the interview in collecting the data to explore the
experience of Mobile legends player.
Instrument of the study
The study used an interview guide as an instrument for this study.
The Interview Guide Creating an interview guide helps interview research
in a number of ways. An interview guide is simply a list of the high-level

topics that you plan on covering in the interview with the high level
questions that you want to answer under each topic (Bird, 2016).
There were several questions asked as points of discussion to help
guide the interview. The guiding interview questions were intentionally
developed as open-ended in order to elicit thoughtful storied responses.
However, as each interview unfolded, follow-up questions that were not
pre-determined were asked to further probe for long uninterrupted
narratives.
Locale of the study
This study will be conducted in Aguisan National High School
located in Aguisan Himamaylan Negros Occidental.
Aguisan NHS
Figure 1. A map showing the locale of the study which is Aguisan
National High School.

Respondents of the study
Purposive sampling technique is using to decide the respondents of
the study.the technique involves hand picking subjects that is usually
suit very specific intensions.Purposive sampling (also known as
judgment, selective or subjective sampling) is a sampling technique in
which researcher relies on his or her own judgment when choosing
members of population to participate in the study.(ashly
crossman,2019).
The process of selecting respondents is non-probability sampling in
which not all the students has an equal chance of being selected.
The researchers will select a player of mobile legends as a participants.
Data Analysis
Data taken from the interview will be analyzed based on Creswell
(2014) proposed steps in data analysis. (1) Organize and prepare the data
for analysis which include transcribing of interviews, typing of data, and
arranging data depending on the sources. (2) Look and read at all data.
This provides a general sense of the information and an opportunity to
reflect on its over-all meaning. (3) This step starts the coding process. In
this process, the data are organized by bracketing chunks of word

representing a category. (4) The use of coding process helps to generate
description of the setting and the people as wells as categories or themes
for analysis. (5) This process presents the descriptions and themes. The
themes are further discussed in detail with interconnected themes. (6)
This final step involves making interpretations and meanings. These
meanings could be derived from a comparison of these findings with
information taken from other literature and theories.
