Man why the fuck do I gotta play a shitty ass MOBA to get this

>>376099841
This is why the MOBA community is so toxic. Their dicks are literally in glass all the time.

>>376099841
The worst part is that they don't include vs. ai games in the 2nd through final weeks.

>>376099841
OW is a shitty ass MOBA

checkmate

>>376100007
where's the 3 lanes?
where's the enemy tower I gotta blow up?
where's the minions?
where's the jungle?
how do I feed?

OW isn't MOBA m8, you may be confusing it with Randy "Please draw porn of our characters we'll do anything for publicity" Pitchford's Battleborne.

stop trolling

>>376100085
it's Multiplayer, it's Online and there's a Battle going on in an Arena

>>376100262
>mobaesque
in what way

HotS is a better game than OW

fite me.

>>376099841
Not to mention you have to play the rounds with friends.

>>376100313
objectives and always start the same way with a team

I'm not even going to mention skins and chests

>>376100365
ah okay so TF2 is a moba

Better than Dota and LOL atleast

>>376100432
yes

>>376100323
in terms of unique character design obviously not
in terms of balance yes hots is far more balanced
in terms of fun? maybe, I'd say OW has a higher skill cap but not by a ton
they're both a mix of rehashed stolen ideas in childish simplified versions of their origins, but much like mario kart they can still be fun.

>>376100313
how the abilities work
thats about it, really
the whole hero pick with a small handful of impactful abilities thing is really like MOBAs. cant tell me team fighting doesnt resemble it just a little bit, especially with 'ultimate' abilities

otherwise an fps

That skin is for a moba though

>>376099841
play against bots, it still counts. everyone feels the same as you do so they play on easy bots. everyone rushes one lane and you steamroll. I got the genji skin from the last event in about 50ish minutes and that was around 30 games I believe

>>376099942
You don't have to win though
You can just throw 5 games

>>376100432
TF2 doesn't have ults.

>MY specific definition of moba is a very specific category of mobas

well then, whats the fucking name of your specific moba category? great, now that youve given it a name, lets get back to discussing mobas, not, "my specific category" moba.

look, you can pretend your female ( male ) or male ( female ), but at the end of the day if you try to change FEMALE and MALE because of niche, stupid subsets that may or may not have basis in reality but in your own head, your just as bad as the fucking transfluid buckets out there

I didn't know Rocket League was MOBA. What a surprise.

>>376102327
rocket league isnt a multiplayer, online battle arena?

oh right. you just battle in an arena, online with other players

>>376102417
>rocket league isnt a multiplayer, online battle arena?

That's exactly what rocket league is

>>376102417
so technically, Counter-Strike is a MOBA?

Why are they fucking people who played in the last promotion? 15 games of that shit was already too many, I'm not playing another ten.

>hurr durr it has elements similar to MOBAs but misses out on the one's that make MOBAs what they are it's still a MOBA XD

>>376103332
Dude, just stop.

Every sane person knows OW isn't a Moba in any way shape or form. The only reason anyone ever says that anymore is for (you)'s. Anyone who unironically believes it's a Moba is just autistic, and that's like arguing with a retarded wall.

wrong. it IS a moba, and there are more specific, niche elements that make the mobas you mention, specific niche mobas.

your specific fucking niche moba subset category dosent make all other mobas not fucking mobas, the same way a twitch shooter dosnt make ALL shooters not fucking "shooters"

>>376103575
I did the last promotion and only had to do 5 games

>>376103941
Your arguments are the same wrong arguments every memer has already said over and over. When counter arguments are presented, it always boils down to your side replying with memes. There is no counter argument to being stupid.

Like I said before. Retarded wall. I'll keep bumping the thread with you if you want, though. Got nothing else going on.

>>376099841
>>376103575
Blizzard already announced that they're adding the skins as unlockables into the game at a later date.
If you feel it's not worth playing HotS, just wait.

>>376103949
well it seems MOBA is a much more broad term then I thought, I only looked at it as those shitty top down champion based games like LoL and Dota

>>376104369

>>376104289
yeah we agree

sorry, what was the argument. you agree?

>>376104462
no, that's what lel refers to them as

>>376104540
So every single multiplayer game except fighters is a Moba.

Wait. Those are mobas too. Got it.

>>376104080
You still didn't present me with a debatable argument.

Cheers

>>376104637
Why would I debate with you? You just want replies. Your argument doesn't really even exist except in your own head. You're just standing behind this perspective you'll defend every inch of the way because it's something to write about, doesn't matter how absolutely ridiculous it is. Literally 30 seconds of gameplay footage, or 30 seconds of playing the game, proves you wrong. Why do I have to sit here and list things for you?

uh

yeah. its almost like when you start narrowing it down you get...subsets...categories. that shooter with the military focus on realism, its almost like its a first person tactical military shooter.

hey what was that last word there? it looks like...shooter

>>376104129
>well it seems MOBA is a much more broad term then I thought
It wasn't in the past. The only reason the term exists is so Riot and S2 didn't have to call their games DotA clones. Which is exactly what they were.

>>376104789
yes

>>376104896
ok

>>376104874
No.. but that's a Moba. You just said so. Now you say it's a shooter?

>>376104938
yeah, a subset of moba

a shooter. another category. did you know that categorys can intermix and make

subsets

>>376104981
So all shooters are mobas.

>>376105006
every videogame is a moba

>>376100085
overwatch is a logical continuation of the classic moba genre, that lets loose the shackles of "it once was a custom map for wc3". The end result is pretty pathetic still, but millions of players and blizzard cant be wrong, duh.

>>376102570
So is Smash 4 a MOBA when you're playing on Little Mac's stage? Or is it still a Party game?

>>376105006
no, some shooters are mobas, and some mobas are shooters.

an example of a shooter that isnt a moba is a...hmmm, really fucking obscure here, might not of heard of it but

a single player shooter

>>376104754
mm ok

>>376105024
So TV shows are also mobas. And jobs, too, right?

I think I get it now. Everything is a Moba.

>>376105085
you're on the right track

>>376105123
No dude, I got it. Everything is a Moba. It has to be. How else could OW be a Moba?

>>376105085
tv shows are multiplayer? remind me the last time you battled someone else in a game of friends. who won? chandler?

No one is forcing anyone to get that skin. I've seen people in Hots complain about the game, and yet they force themselves through hours of playing it to get their 10 games done and get that skin. Why? Is it really worth wasting several hours with something you don't like just to get this one skin in another game?

>>376105120
too much montain dew

>>376100286
Yes and CoD is a rpg game becaus egenre names sure are literal
>>376102072
What the flying fuck are you even babbling about
MOBA is Riots term for 'dotaclone'
Thzat's it
No, a class shooter is not suddenly a moba just because something apparently shat into your head and made you think that 'skill on Q=dotaclone!'

>people STILL take genre names literally
Why are you all new and/or complete mongoloids

>>376105064
See dude.. this is where I just wonder if you legitimately look at what you write and think it's not complete nonsense.

The truth is that down the logic you present, anything can be defined as anything based on whatever similarity you want to allocate to it, but that isn't what we categorize these things under. So yes, but utter technicality, these games are a multiplayer online battle arena. All peices or writing are articles. All non-interacting visual media is a movie.

But you and I both know that the point of calling Overwatch a Moba is to act as a red herring for the retards that immediately associate "Moba" with ASSFAGGOTS. No sane person calls an arena shooter a Moba without ulterior motives.

If you unironically believe that Overwatch deserves to be referred to as a Moba, you are an perfect idiot, in the purest sense of the phrase.

I guess, dude. We can wrap up by understanding you live in a world where everything you say has to be right, and damn what reality is.

Seriously.. I was a bit mad for a while reading what you were writing, but now I just feel really bad for you. If you're not 18 or younger.. your mentality is just bottom-of-the-barrel sad. I'm genuinely sorry for you.

>>376105495
>riot invented mobas
Not him, but did they not? I've literally never heard the acronym until Riot started using it because they wanted to distance themselves from DotA, even though that is clearly what they were copying. MOBA is the most generic goddamn "genre" ever and you could apply it to virtually any online multiplayer game.

>>376101437
Is there a kick for afk in hots then?

>>376105620
It'll come to loot boxes eventually, don't expect it anytime soon though.

>>376105495
You see anon
Nobody uses genre names the way you do because it makes them utterly worthless and defeats their purpose
The reason we use these terms in the first place is to give people an idea of what the game is like, and to be able to categorize them
If we start calling every game where you play a character in some fashion a RPG, every game where you can pause a TBS, every game with any kind of interaction a RTS, any online round-based game a MOBA, then these terms are completely and utterly worthless
I hope you're not going to repeat your nonsense in the future

>>376105652
They did

>>376105652
They popularized the term Moba for a genre of game that is like DotA. The term did not actually exist in any legitimate capacity before they started to use it.
