#MOBAS
glad to hear you had fun :3
mobas can be very unforgiving and youll have a hugely steep learning curve. eventually youll learn that the ppl calling you bad are the ones who are actually bad at the game bcus they refuse to grow and learn from their own mistakes
deadlock is peak

My older son and hubs are talking about TFT and I swear it’s like a different language to me
I will never play that game lol
I am allergic to MOBAS yet I’m surrounded by MOBA players

I also completely blame online gaming over the past two decades for enabling this problem. When you have MMO raid tiers that are you're stuck for months grinding at, or competitive arena games like MOBAs that use the one map for all 'serious' matches...

#Verdigris is into PvP. It doesn't matter if it's RTS or FPS. He will greatly enjoy crushing the opposition.

I can't picture him being as keen on MOBAs... 3rd person is fine when controlling a group, but when it's individual he prefers to feel immersed.

I don't think #Molvayas would tbh.

I’ve never played the game but have always been fascinated with the community and competitive scene 🎬 it’s created. This short documentary explains the rise and dominance of League of Legends over other MOBAs.

true 🥲 - I love the league world so much tho, I wish mobas weren't so toxic 😭

what do you mean mobas can be fun. thats horrifying. dont say that. if i ever play another moba you have permission to remove my hands
December 6, 2025 at 5:23 PM
No, I was very turned off by mobas just because for some reason moba players cannot seem to explain anything but I believe it! Deadlock is pretty simple on the moba aspect too so it's how I finally got to pick it up 😂
December 5, 2025 at 7:23 PM
I have been so deadlock pilled that I finally understand how mobas work after people failing to explain anything pertaining to a moba for like 10+ years. Now the bigger danger is me trying to see if I can finally grasp League of Legends

Mobas came from an rts ancestry where right click -> "move here" was the norm
Its useful in cases where you're going long distance and "move here" will always find the shortest path, but league has been focusing a lot more on micro-movement that wasd is probably better

okay so i dont play mobas but im given to understand they involve moving a character around to do things. bearing that in mind, the fuck do you mean they just added wasd

I remember seeing bits of this with League players, too, and i was never really into Dota 2 as I was still in my "fuck MOBAs they helped ruin all my friendships" phase (lol, lmao, i'm so glad I'm not 19 anymore)
December 4, 2025 at 10:57 PM
And yet, in *Deadlock's* case it is so weird because i see people make VERY declarative statements about how this ruins what was a lifestyle-game for them and they're just gonna do something else

and like. Okay dog I'm having fun with the game now but like jesus is this just what mobas do to ppl
December 4, 2025 at 10:55 PM
I think I just don't understand MOBAs though. The only one I ever liked was Battleborn, and even then I didn't really understand how to play it lol
December 4, 2025 at 8:56 PM
I don't play LoL but I have played a lot of mobas, and it feels like WASD would be a lot better than mouse control in such a skillshot heavy game?
December 4, 2025 at 4:33 PM
Valid 😭 I’m not huge into MOBAs but I did play some league vs ai! Which is fun but someone people are STILL toxic against the easiest ai mode like chill 🧍!!!
December 4, 2025 at 12:09 PM
Ohh ok, I haven't played any mobas recently so I dunno how those have been doing but Deadlock caught my eye a while back lmao

Also, the genre clearly isn't moving enough copies to justify the level of polish and attention that people would expect of a SC3. MOBAs unfortunately hit the RTS genre like a goddamn truck.

I played from the preseason till season 7 (I think) so I have a lot of experience of the old times. People didn't know how to play MOBAs to nearly the same extent back then. DotA was huge, but it was before me plus it was a fan made map so it wasn't industrialized to nearly the same degree.

Vamos de live? 💜

Tô ao vivo agora jogando uns MOBAs pra aquecer a noite, e às 23h a gente desacelera com Stardew Valley vibes suaves pra você dormir bem e relaxar comigo 🌙✨

Havnt lost this many braincells in a discussion abt video games since having to explain that mobas are objectively more mechanically complicated than fighters, and that fighters are not the "peak of competitive play"
December 3, 2025 at 7:47 PM
if mobas are allowed to be popular without changing their identity fighting games shouldn't be forced to simplify
December 3, 2025 at 12:10 PM
Lotta people in the comments talking about Mario kart and street fighter and it made me think that like, that's not what I think of when someone says "PvP". I think of MMOs and mobas and the worst people on the planet (usually Americans)
December 3, 2025 at 10:50 AM
I'm a little indifferent towards it because I gave rival wings a shot and didn't understand it at all, learned it was apparently a take on a moba style game and concluded that maybe mobas are bad
December 3, 2025 at 8:40 AM
MOBAS ARENT EVEN RTS GAMES I FEEL LIKE IM TAKING CRAZY PILLS
