    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 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.

        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 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.

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

      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.
