MOBAs
Online team battles
MOBAs, or multiplayer online battle arenas, are competitive video games where two teams of players control individual characters and attempt to destroy the opposing team's base.
Each player selects a hero with unique abilities, and matches unfold on symmetric maps with lanes, defensive structures, and AI-controlled minions. *League of Legends* and *Dota 2* are the genre's flagships: I've been grinding MOBAs all weekend.
