Want to play MoBA games?
Action real-time strategy or called MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) nowadays is considered to be the most addicting game not only in Asia but in different parts of the globe. But what started it all? Some gamers even me consider DoTA (Defence of the Ancients) to have started this all, but we were wrong. ARTS or MoBA first began in a Starcraft custom map named Aeon of Strife (AoS) which is pretty much the same as today but with a lot of modifications to make the game more interesting and fun.
ARTS or MoBA is a considered to be the sub-category of an RTS game but you only control a single character and no unit or building construction. This game solely emphasizes on teamwork and skill on handling your character's skill well. The game is pretty much basic stuff where you are going to destroy the the enemies base and going through periodically spawned minions, creeps or what ever you call them and bringing down towers before going through the enemies main base.
I started out to play DoTA (Defence of the Ancients) during my college days and become addicted to it. Learning this game is easy for me as I was familiar in playing RTS games before but controlling one character now is a lot different. DoTA has been popular and has been appearing as part of e-sports until now. With this popularity, other MOBA games arise as they have another point of view in how MoBA game should be.
When Heroes of Newerth was released, I can't believe how beautiful the game is. This is just the same as DoTA but with great graphics, fast paced gameplay and new unfamiliar characters with new skills to play. This further level up the competition. Leaving DoTA behind, me and my friends played HON for a long period of time until it became pay-to-play and only available in US servers. We were so depressed that we tolerated to DoTA again as we were not familiar with the controls and pretty much wanted HON back. So I researched on another MoBA game that would be free and fun to play, then I discovered League of Legends. At first, I was a bit skeptical myself. I thought the cartoon graphics was not good and the cartoon characters were not that awesome as HON but again, I was wrong until I played it.
This game was not a walk in the park. This game changed the way I think in a MoBA game. League of Legends emphasized teamwork and strategy literally unlike when I played DoTA, I was on killing spree and I can take on all of the team's heroes with overpowered items.
I have never played DoTA 2 yet but seen its gameplay and honestly, I preferred HON for the graphics. Maybe if DoTA 2 have come much earlier that HON, I sure play DoTA 2 right now.
There are other MoBA games out there like Demigod, Super Monday Night Combat(a third person shooter twist), Rise of Immortals, Realm of the Titans and the upcoming Starcraft DoTA.
I personally suggest that you try other games before judging the best MoBA game for you. Or you can comment below what MoBA game you're playing and why.
