I just watched Totalbiscuit's video of Strife, the game looks great but really close to other already existing MOBA's. From what I've seen its the same old thing with every other MOBA, maybe they can try to get a better community or something.

I play LoL because I'm good at it, I don't really care or love it. I don't love games, I love beating other people so LoL and Melee are the things I only play anymore. The only game I really play for fun is Mario Kart 8 but even then I play to win with fire hopping and whatnot. People play LoL because it's a decent game and "competitive" and by competitive I mean blame their team instead of looking at themselves.
Hey everyone

The most annoying part is that it spreads to communities thinner and thinner every time a subsection jumps to yet another new game. Happened with MMOs, happening with MOBAs and the problems with that is after a while they'll all just end up feeling empty, queue times skyrocket and people get sick of the genre as a whole.

Not a fan of the genre in general played a few of them LoL, Hero's of the Storm, and not enjoyed them at all.

I don't get the issue. It's not like there's nearly as many MOBAs as other games still.

The worst thing about MOBAs are its communities. I wonder if Riot managed to make the chats less.. insulting.

No. People like like MOBAs because they are RTS's without the huge time commitments and more (subjectively) more fun to play with multiple players. MOBAs are why RTS games have lost their popularity, otherwise people would be talking about why there are so many RTS games on the market (like it was before MOBAs exploded).

The only one that attracts me slightly is SMITE as it's the only one I feel different and unique.

As someone with no interest in any dota-like whatsoever, I never understood why people say this. Originally Posted by Knadra

Uggh, I don't get it. They aren't even vaguely innovative. Fun is relative, but uniform is less so

Eh, you might just be looking at the wrong ones then. Originally Posted by Tyrgannus

But then you got games like Smite, which is a 3D MOBA, instead of bird's eye view, and almost everything is a skill shot.
And Heroes of the Storm on the other hand has objectives for each map, so the map actually matters.
Then again, in my opinion those are really the only big ones, even though Heroes of the Storm is still in Alpha."El Psy Kongroo!" Hearthstone Moderator

Everyone nowadays just can't resist cloning DotA and LoL after having found out about how much money they make... they assume so poorly that if they make a MOBA they'll be rich as hell.

God forbid developers trying to make money out of ongoing trend in the industry.
