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. Overall, there are plenty of reasons to still check out Heroes of Order and Chaos, but largely, if you want a League clone for mobile, you should absolutely check out Arena of Valor.

Sure, duels in both of these games may happen in standard play-modes, mostly during laning phase, when enemy players meet one on one on a single lane, but during a real” duel we don’t expect help from any Jungler, a supporting player who aids us from another, neighbouring lane.

Paladins is a light-hearted, entertaining game for MOBA lovers looking for a new way to experience the genre. One last thing to note is that while League does have the option to buy custom skins and ward looks for your heroes with money just like DotA, it doesn’t allow you to play all heroes as soon as you make your account.

League of Legends (or LoL to its many, many friends) is the big daddy of the genre, and by far the most popular game in the world. Vainglory is a little different to the other MOBAs mentioned in our list as it’s mobile-only with no way to play on your Mac or PC. It’s accessible via the iOS App Store and Google Play for smartphones and tablets, but that’s as far as it goes.

After WoW had its peak, Blizzard realized the potential of MOBAs and created their own, drawing inspiration for their characters and character abilities from their other games, such as Starcraft, Warcraft, World of Warcraft, Diablo and even Overwatch.

In fact, while PC games can be quite tough to initially get to grips with, the accessibility of mobile gaming means that the platform is often a fairly simple way for people to take their first steps into the world of MOBA gaming, especially in terms of simplified controls.

Developed by Gameloft, Heroes of Order & Chaos is a thrilling MOBA experience for iOS devices where players can put their skills to the test on 3 maps in three different gameplay modes: solo, 3 versus 3, and 5 versus 5.

What Is A MOBA? The History Of The Most Popular Video Game Genre

The massive success of eSports has led to plenty of competition on PCs, but so far mobile games that are ready for professional competitive play have yet to really break through. 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.

MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) is a new gaming genre. Rethinking the way a MOBA should be played with the introduction of third-person view to the genre, Smite has since its release for PC in 2014, added support for Mac, but also for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, further diversifying itself from the other popular MOBAs.

Professional competitive gaming sees players do battle on a range of titles, with MOBAs forming a fundamental part of the scene. Whereas other MOBAs alter character viability via item and slight objective changes, Heroes can flip the entire competitive landscape on its head with the release of a single map.

After a slightly awkward first couple of years, Heroes of the Storm was revamped as Heroes 2.0, featuring a brand new progression system that takes Overwatch’s loot box system and further improves it. You’re guaranteed to get items that are relevant to your heroes every few boxes, and if you’re unhappy with your loot you can re-roll the box for a small fee of in-game gold.

Mages are long-range destruction specialists, fighters are flexible and can fulfill virtually every role, tanks excel when they are at the front-line of attacks and defenses, assassins strike with surgical precisions without being spotted, and support heroes assist their teammates from behind.

Dota 2 Vs Heroes Of The Storm Vs League Of Legends

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.

The massive success of eSports has led to plenty of competition on PCs, but so far mobile games that are ready for professional competitive play have yet to really break through.
