I never played any moba, but i know how toxic they are. I watched some league tutorials, to figure out what is even going on, and every tutorial i watched started with: first off all, turn off voice chat.
Now valve is cooking deadlock, which is a moba as far as i know, and it’s probably the best game i have ever played. But you can smell the moba player base, by the way a lot of them behave. I play online games since counterstrike 1.4, and i have never been shittalked as much and as bad as in deadlock since i play that. It’s usually your own team too, you can be winning and someone tells you to kill yourself and hopes that my family gets raped, because you did somethimg they didn’t like. A shitton of russians too, which is probably the big overlap of toxic shitbags and mobas.
I want to be a single unit in a massively multiplayer Age of Empires II. Like, get in the unit queue hoping you get drafted as a Hussar or something cool. Get sent in as villager with an axe every time but still do your best chopping the most wood for your team to win.
I played League for many years when it came out. I think the genre is fun to play, requires lots if skill, but I am only willing to take so much verbal abuse for what is supposed to be time I spend for fun.
I enjoyed Warcraft 3 because of its focus on Heroes. And I dont really know about other rts games with focus on Heroes. Maybe Age of Mythology or Starcraft 2 campaign but not PvP.
Are there some other good ones? I’m in a mood.
I really don’t understand it. I’ve played a little of both Dota & LoL and it’s the same group of miserable pricks. Is there a moba that doesn’t have a lethally toxic player base?
i played the custom games which were very fun, because new one appear frequently, so theres plenty of content, eventually i got tired of the game and moved onto something else.

mobas.
i remember not enjoying warcraft 3 due to its focus on hero characters, then someone modded all of the non-unique units out???
and everyone who plays them seems genuinely miserable.
Lol I actually like the idea of controlling one hero a lot more than focusing on commanding a whole army.
My only problem is how fucking toxic MOBA communities are.
I never played any moba, but i know how toxic they are. I watched some league tutorials, to figure out what is even going on, and every tutorial i watched started with: first off all, turn off voice chat.

That sucks, I’ve heard so much good about Deadlock’s gameplay, but that playerbase is exactly what I expected.

sounds like battlefield
That’s basically what happens when you join the auto-fill queue and get assinged Support in League of Legends.
And then your team flames you for not chipping enough wood.
I played League for many years when it came out. I think the genre is fun to play, requires lots if skill, but I am only willing to take so much verbal abuse for what is supposed to be time I spend for fun.
Addiction
Every person I’ve ever disliked had one thing in common, League addiction. Shits so bad for you it’s crazy.
I enjoyed Warcraft 3 because of its focus on Heroes. And I dont really know about other rts games with focus on Heroes. Maybe Age of Mythology or Starcraft 2 campaign but not PvP. Are there some other good ones? I’m in a mood.
Check Godsworn and I agree that there isn’t that many Warcraft 3 like games.
Only if you rank. Play the other game modes, those are stupid-fun.

Heroes of the storm wasn’t too bad, but I never got into the competitive aspects, and that’s usually where things get bad.
I hate the RTS+hero game in all its forms. It started with WC3, but so many are doing it now.
But I love RTS, and I quite enjoy moba-like games. It’s just that I absolutely fucking hate the community.
I don’t think that RTS+hero started with warcraft, there were hero units in warlords series (better implemented I think) before warcraft.
Yeah, but in WC3, especially in multiplayer, it was a super hard requirement. 80% of your time would be hero micro
Play League. Can confirm.
