Any other game that you can play with those criteria fall under MOBA just like how every game you can roleplay in is an RPG and every game that contains any semblance of strategy and is not turnbased is an RTS. + Show Spoiler + stop being pedantic You are being semantic while Riot, the creator of the word, means it as the term of any LoL-like game. You still used the word wrongly. DotA 2 doesn't fall under the category of LoL-type game (Riot explicitly states that LoL and DotA 2 are not related and I doubt Valve will say opposite). I think you should make sure that your claim is correct or say nothing. | ||

Sometimes I wonder if people argue stupid shit like this just to make GD have more pages. Like, nobody who's familiar with the term is going to actually make the mistake where they don't think you're referring to DotA 2 when you are using the term MOBA. The only reason to belabor this inane argument is for the sake of arguing. | ||

People will always argue about that because they know the name is stupid. I see no reason why shouldn't we discuss it and even kill it... but hey, we must obey Riot because that's the name established right? Like I said, CS best MOBA. Also, read what OP's say in his first things. | ||

The GD Studio @TheGDStudio 3m CEO of The GD Studio @follow2GD was fired after being found locked in a closet with @VictoryCat1337 wearing nothing but cat ears and a tail. Darn it. | ||

Almost every game consists of multiple genres if you want to be overly specific, doesn't mean that CoD is actually a RPG now just because it has some elements of it. | ||

No one should care about this sort of thing any more. For better or for worse, MOBA has been accepted in the mainstream community to denote games like Dota, LoL and HoN. Just accept it and move on. If it offends you so much then just don't use it yourself; I know I don't but I still don't get worked up when others do. So pointing out that he was factually incorrect is considered agressive in your book? OK then. And i don't get worked up or anything. Read my first response to him, I thought he knew what MOBA meant. Turn out he didn't so I tried to tell him that he used the word wrongly. And you think I was flamebaiting. Why don't you write your rules and interpretations down and distribute to all of us so that we will stay away from being elitists definition. Because the way you see things is so important that the truth and knowledge don't matter anymore. In this case if he used the word MOBA as Riot supposed, he was wrong because DotA 2 wasn't related to LoL (even Riot said so). While if he meant to use MOBA literally then he didn't know the meaning of the word created by Riot. User was temp banned for this post. | ||
