Even though they’re still a bit unknown to the general public, the last five years have seen the MOBA craze sweep the entire competitive gaming scene, building eSports from a niche, underground scene to receiving coverage on ESPN and awarding multi-million dollar cash prizes at the top conferences for both League of Legends and DotA 2. Since the rise of both titles in the late 2000s and early 2010s, dozens of different MOBAs have arrived on the scene, on PC, Mac, consoles, and even iOS and Android phones.

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is another great MOBA optimized for touch screen devices that brings all of the great aspects of the genre in reach of players who don’t have access to a PC. The game is essentially a ripoff of League of Legends, featuring champions and abilities that look a whole lot like the ones found in LoL, albeit mixed up to avoid copyright issues, I presume.
