Not to sound like an ******* or something. But really, the name of this genre is not MOBA, it is ****ing ARTS!
To make this clear:
ARTS = Action real time strategy.
MOBA = Multiplayer online battle arena.
This entire genre kinda spawned and became popular from the game Warcraft 3. An RTS. It took the more action focused things from this game(mostly the micro.) and made it into DOTA. Hence the name. Action RTS.
MOBA on the other hand kinda fits also. Only thing it fits into so many other game types. I could say that most FPS's is a MOBA, because it fits onto the description. Same goes for games like Wow arena and bloodlince champions.
So for the love of god stop calling these games MOBA's and start calling them ARTS's.
Thank you. hugs and kisses, your love potatisfarfar.

Problem is with the name MOBA. LoL fits into it. But SO many other games does this as well.
Would be nice to have a name for the genre, that only that genre can be connected with.
first, moba is multiplayer online battle arena. all 4 of those words work and make sense.
arts is action real time strategy. i don't see how lol, hon, or dota fall under 'strategy' because frankly theres not much to it compared to games that are actually listed as strategy.
