Is it possible to change LoL to MoBA or a category that encompasses all DoTA-like games? I know LoL is a lot more accessible than DoTA or HoN, but it would seem more fair and categorical if the category was geared towards all DoTA remakes.

Just a suggestion.

I'll have to also agree with this/suggest this as well :O

I prefer the term AoS, but either is a good idea in my opinion.

AoS is 3 letters so for consistency sake, that works! Just not a familiar abbreviation perhaps :B

Please don't advocate the use of "MOBA" ever : (

Multiplayer --- nearly every competitive PC game is multiplayer
Online --- nearly every competitive PC game is online
Battle --- nearly every competitive PC game is a "battle"
Arena --- doesn't even describe the game at hand as there are LANES (pushes), not an ARENA (koth/ffa/dm)

Three generic terms and one term that is misused does not make for a good acronym. AoS is a better description even though it's senseless by itself.

MoBA is something Riot games coined, no? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dota_(genre)

Riot Games has also been known to use the self-coined term, "Multiplayer Online Battle Arena".

Whatever works that encompasses all Dota-like games, not just LoL.
