Dawngate was the best. It was basically League of Legends at a point in time where it was the most fun. But then it was even better because you could respec your summoner skills mid-game and everyone was nice because if you got commendations you'd end up with a higher chance of unlocking characters and stuff from winning the game.

>>379586420
As far as i know it had some kind of rune system. How it can be good with shit like this?

>>379586253
Man glad someone else fucking loved dawngate

I actually did alot of the analytics on the playerbase and it got slammed funnily enough the most when Hots came out.

>>379586253
Any that are dead.

>>379586492
Because everyone got them for free and it was a tessellation board so you had to choose between getting significant passive boosts like a 10% shield or some movement speed after getting a kill or stick with basic shapes and get tons of raw stats with simpler pieces that fit together more easily.

>>379586253
HotS IS the best.

It really was the best fuckig MOBA in every catagory, even if I just would do lifesteal Bats/Catwoman and break all the creep. I wish it caught on, but it's shaky release + how it reworked it's coin system for unlocks fucked it over hard.

Gigantic. Its not very popular, but it should be out by the end of the summer. People still think its win10 exclusive, and that really sucks, because its a fun game. I liked that monster summoning aspect where you could summon a dragon to shoot fireballs like a mortar, or a healing tree thing, or cyclops that made walls for easy escapes. It was also nice that you could change the properties of your abilities.

>>379590035
Gigantic and Paladins both ended up far different games then what they started off as in earnest.
Hell, I'm kinda happy OMD!U changed from a shitty MOBA clone back towards it's roots as it was quickly learning it couldn't do the MOBA route successfully. Honestly though there's far too many games out, and Gigantic, while well polished, is still asking for major time input for gains, when so many others things are doing the same.

>>379589674
I liked a couple of the characters but overall Strife was kinda shitty.
>>379590035
Yeah, it's like a less ugly Battleborn. I played the beta(?) last year and it's fun but I wish there was any way at all to communicate with my team.

Not even going to touch the texture quality feeling like it was ripped right out of Warcraft 3 in age as it really was that old of a game.

Obscure dota clone maps on WC3TFT, like EotA and Land of Legends.

Feels bad man. I'd kill for this game again.

>>379589674
Honestly someone needs to buy the stirfe character design team. They were the most fun I had in mobas

Rip Caprice

Lord of vermillion arena was great.

>>379592268
have you seen Shrine of Imanna?

Archeblade. Man I loved that game.

Adventure Time Battle Party unironically. I'm pissed that I'll never get to beat up literal children with a penguin that throws bottles ever again.

Dawngate was really comfy. It was probably on the same level as HotS though honestly.

not yet. they said it's in "Early Alpha" with only Vuroc being the fully fleshed out Shaper. they're testing the map and are planning a stress test soon to fully complete the map, then they're gonna add the other 43 shapers.

MNC

I dont know how trash games like smite that ride the 3D moba meme while doing little to actually utilize the vertical space succeed when you had a glorious third person shooter with tons of verticality sitting on steam and ultimately have both incarnations of it die.

I only played the original MNC when it was an XBLA game, but I enjoyed that one quite a bit.
