i dont see the appeal
click to walk across a poorly designed map that you can only see 1% of
then you see guys walking in a row doing nothing and you attack them
and ocassionally you will see another player
but they instantly run away

DotA is skill, a close match is probably the most fun I have. One mistake can throw the whole game, it's a game of personal skill but also of teamwork and communication.


Unless you like competitive games you won't like mobas

if you look at video games that way, then every single game must be boring to you

The types of people that play MOBAs are just the worst. I know a few of these people and they obsess about it, I can't go a day without hearing about tanking, ADHD carry or whatever, Garren in top lane and whining about that "noob who didn't even build the right class" in their petty little game. The worst part is that they all mainly play against bots half the time, bloodly casuals. One of my friends has missed school and has been at home when we're supposed to go out, just so he can watch a League game being streamed. It pisses me off to no end.

I decided to play LoL for a time as well. Honestly, as first hand experience, I can say it's trash.

I like MOBA's but really don't like the community

Honestly, I don't understand why they're so toxic. They yell at you for doing this or that but don't try to help you, making you feel worse and play worse.

^ Your friend has a problem. Why not just watch one of those hour long vids of matches people put on Youtube and such after school?

Also, Garen is spelled with only one 'r' and the term is AD carry, or ADC.

You just find one that lets you build your character however you like and change your build at will.
Those, are the good ones.
. . .Like Guild Wars 2.

GW2 isn't a MOBA.

There are other MOBAs besides LoL. FPS ones, MOBAs that control more like action games as opposed to MMOs, 3rd person MOBAs instead of top down ones.

One example of a 3rd person MOBA would be Smite, which is also the first MOBA I ever played

If you don't like MOBA's I suggest trying Awesomenauts

A MOBA is a a multiplayer real time strategy game in which you and your team must destroy the other team's base and defenses.

Platformers are boring
press buttons to move some dude across poorly designed floating floors
then you see some weird brown monster dudes walking at you like brainless zombies
and after getting slapped in the butt by lava 40 times, you finally reach your goal
but your princess is in another castle

I remember the DotA community being toxic back when it was a map played in Warcraft 3.
It's probably a different community now.
But still.

An RTS is not a MOBA. RTS involves the CONTROL of several different units. Not some single bum shooting arrows while watching minions or whatever they're called attack towers.

@ima

So by your definition, characters who control minions temporarily turn the game into an RTS?

RTS usually doesn't involve a single character. Usually. It involves you controlling anywhere from a small squad to an army. Usually involves the construction of bases.

Age of Empires, Command and Conquer, Starcraft, all very good definitions of RTS.

I think Civ is one as well, unless theres another name for that.

Overlord, while you control minions, is more of a 3rd person RPG.

MOBA is MOBA. It is its own type of game. Not an RTS. A MOBA.

Control of several units dosen't turn it into an RTS by itself.
Otherwise, Arma 2 could be considered one.

Well the CTI gamemode is kind of like an RTS...

You build up your base, control your commanders, and send them to capture towns while hunting the enemy base down.

I guess it has RTS-like features.

But I wouldn't call it fully an RTS.


It's actually hard to define it. If you go through high numbers of units you control, Men of War is an RTS. But if you say it has base building/resource gathering, it isn't.

I usually refer to a game where you hover above the battlefield controlling several units at once an RTS personally. Controlling one is more like a hack n slash.

MOBAs are sub-genres of real time strategy games
