Reader Discussion: Are You Warming Up To MOBAs?

by Daniel Tack on May 14, 2015 at 03:00 PM

With big titles like League of Legends, Dota 2, and Heroes of the Storm continuing to make the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena a popular destination for many PC players and eSport enthusiasts, not everyone has taken to the team-based genre. With games like Smite, Battleborn, and Gigantic heading to console this year, things may be changing from the archetypal isometric style and allowing for fast-paced, almost shooter-style action.

Even on PC there's a shift with some titles focusing on accessibility, shedding the long-present stigma that the games have a troublesome burden of knowledge required and steep learning curves.

With these shifts and changes, will you be looking to try a MOBA-style title when it arrives on console? Or maybe you've already tried a few titles on PC and found them lacking - will new changes and new titles bring you back for another try? Or perhaps you've already tried one and fallen in love with the gameplay. What's your opinion is on the MOBA environment - and its future?
