Snowball literally means “Snowball”. However, this term does not refer to an object but to a situation. 

Snowball is a term used to describe a situation where a team or hero gains momentum thanks to consistent play from early to late game. 

Now, this term doesn't just refer to a single person using a particular hero. It can also occur within a team thanks to their consistency and cohesiveness in a match. 

So what is the correlation between team or player consistency and the term Snowball? 

So here’s the thing, imagine a small snowball (early phase team) rolling down a hill. It might be small at first but over time it collects more snow until it gets bigger and faster. 

When a snowball gets bigger and faster, it becomes difficult to stop it.

Well, the term “Snowball” is deep MLBB games describes the process of a team consistently accumulating small wins. 

Then these small advantages are accumulated consistently until they produce an increasingly large and unstoppable advantage.

Snowball in Mobile Legends occurs through the accumulation of small advantages gained by the team. So that it creates a domino effect that leads to greater and more difficult to stop dominance.

Practically in the game, this situation occurs due to the following reasons: 

Team Gets First Blood 

The team that gets the first kill will gain a significant gold and Exp advantage. If they are consistent, this will allow them to buy items faster. 

However, this does not mean that the team that gets first blood is definitely defeated. There is still a way to thwart the opponent's advantage if it is still in the early phases. 

Teamfight Victory 

Winning during teamfights is also an important factor that leads the team to the Snowball moment. In addition, the team can also get enemy towers or secure other important objectives. 

Securing Important Objectives or Pushing Turrets

Taking important objectives like Lord and Turtle also gives gold advantage. Although I personally disagree if Turtle affects the advantage significantly. 

Precisely when the enemy is gathering, taking the Turtle is the right momentum to destroy the Tower. Especially during the early phase turret still has a shield that contains a lot of Gold. 

I think it makes a lot more sense as a way to get the team into momentum.
