Are MOBAs actually even fun?

[Graves Ruinwalker]

MOBAs are overall E-sport slop .
Fun to play for the start but after a while the cracks start to show and the gameplay becomes stale .

I used to play LoL and it was deeply stressful and enflamed my smoking habit. After kicking it years later, I tried HotS vs bots mostly to try heroes and I had a lot of fun. Every time I would play against other people, the stress and pressure would come back and keep me back to playing vs bots. It was relaxing. So.. I think the social ranked elements of these games lead to too much stress to where it's not fun.

There was this Russian YT channel that made it his mission to fuck up every MOBA match as bad AS possible, and have his teammates crash out on him.

I think its a Meta-thing for most people.
You dont really play it to "enjoy the game" per se, its more so about hurling the most and fastest abuse at the other person via text and voice.
Sure, "the actual game" is scored, but the real winner is decided by who is the most abusive.
Most people just dont understand that, they needlessly assume MOBA communities are "toxic", but they just dont get the meta-game.

I've been playing Mobile Legends since 2018, I consider it fun and veryyyy competitive. It's one of the most popular games in my country — LoL is what I think you should avoid playing. I played this for 1-2 months and only experienced hell.

A classmate in college desperately wanted me to play League of Legends. I tried it for a bit but it just didn't click. Haven't played one since and I don't think I will.

Tried to get into DOTA the original MOBA joined lobbies on game ranger , all players are Russian or from Mongolia.....if you are new 99% chance you will get kicked out.

Kept happening to me until i said screw this map I'm playing something else , peak MOBA experience

Mobas fun ?? honestly I got no clue I tired LoL I tired Smite and honestly im not a competitive person what so ever so to me they where boring. While I played smite all I was think this is cool charter I wish it was a single player game with PVP where I run around an open world doing quest and I can pick what ever hero do it with.


So I would say moba is fun for competitive people or people that like does game but for me NAH I rather play something else. But im not gonna hate on them because it´s just not for me so hating on them is just dumb I think they are great for people that enjoy them.

no

 

[rematche]

it's fun with friends.

In theory, yes. The character variety, builds and team building concepts and all the theory crafting is fun on paper. Actually playing the game? Not so much.

Life is too short to spend on a genre that brings out the worst in people (and also attracts the worst kind of people.)

MOBAs are fun with friends, they were a nice mod for WC3, but not something you'd play regularly.

So yes, they are most certainly, but not for everyone anyway.

Life is too short to spend on any game.

I never got into MOBAs is just gets stale for awhile. Many people were playing a lot of League of Legends back then and i was never interested. Like someone said previously, it's Esports slop.
