MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) grew out of RTS mods into one of the biggest competitive genres in the industry. The formula is instantly recognizable: two teams, a symmetrical lane-based map, heroes with distinct kits, and a match that starts from zero and builds toward one decisive team fight. Unlike a classic MMORPG, there's no persistent world here — each match stands on its own, and player progress is measured in skill and rank rather than character level. We cover the genre because of how closely its audience and history overlap with MMOs. This section covers news, reviews, and guides for the genre's major MOBA titles.
