MOBA is a subgenre of Real Time Strategy. Think of it as a reverse Horde Mode of sorts. You pick a hero, and your goal is to destroy the enemy stronghold. To do this, you need to protect your cannon fodder minions as they advance across the map, while killing your opponents. As you kill more, you level up and get better abilities to either bolster your team or damage your opponents.mikey7339 said:Can you explain a little bit more?

It blends RPG leveling systems with RTS gameplay.
Also arguments over who fucked up ensues by the losing team.Lagao said:Heres an easy explanation.
Its the same shit over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Not if you want to deal with people who are reasonable no. Though you will find a few good guys every now and then.mikey7339 said:And this answers the question as to whether or not I should give these games a shot (no). Thank you for your time folks.
Wait you know the root is AoS but consider Eul to have right over the genre because of DotA?Aircross said:I call them Aeon of Strife games due to their roots.
MOBA is a term coined by Guinsoo, and ARTS is a term coined by GabeN.
If anyone has the right to term the genre, it's Eul, who created Dota.
