What is the best MOBA? The title of ‘best MOBA game’ is a hotly contested one, and often reduced to two warring champions: League of Legends and Dota 2. But, despite being the most popular in the genre, these two games may not necessarily be the best MOBA for you.
MOBAs have been around for a long time - the genre was originally born from player-made custom games. The first MOBA was a Starcraft custom map called Aeon of Strife, which then inspired the incredibly popular Warcraft III custom game Defense of the Ancients. Modders from the original DotA went on to create Riot’s League of Legends, and Valve’s Dota 2, bringing MOBA gameplay to even wider audiences. Thanks to the format’s depth of gameplay and astronomical skill ceiling, MOBAs are some of the biggest esports games around, with hefty prizes to boot; Dota 2’s TI10 tournament had a prize pool of $40,018,195. Whew.
So, if you’re looking to take your first, wobbly steps into the MOBA genre, you may be wondering which MOBA will be the best fit - here’s the lowdown on the biggest MOBAs around to give you a headstart. You’ll be defending the legends of the smiting storm in no time. Or something like that.
