lol moba
Moba is LoL's term.
[/quote]
ARTS is Valve's term. MOBA is pretty much the term for it, and it actually has pretty wide usage now. Basically Valve is just looking to rock the vote in coming up with it.
[/quote]
You guys are horribly biased because MOBA is a Riot-invented term and ARTS is literally the concatenation of the genre names Action and Real-Time Strategy.
I've seen Action RTS thrown around for HoN and DotA before DotA2 was even announced. MOBA came right about when LoL went full public.
Genre names: Serious business. Wikipedia just refers to it as the 'Dota' genre anyways.

Dota is an RTS in the same way that Final Fantasy X is a sports game. Â MOBA makes a hell of a lot more sense.

*controls literally 1 unit, uses rts as 3/4 of genre name*
[/quote]
*Summoner-class heroes, creep domination, and aside from that top down map aware perspective*
Besides MOBA is a horrible term. I think of Bloodline Champions, since that actually takes place in an arena and is multiplayer, online, and focused on a battle.

rise of the immortals is one new dotaesque game calling itself a moba
more people tend to know the genre as moba
want any sort of cast about a dotaesque game and chances are it will be referred to as a moba

Re: Dota 2 - The Generic Name - 09-26-2011
I like Demigod. Why don't they make more games like that? if LoL or DotA were like Demigod, I would probably play that more than tf2, minecraft, or homework.
Re: Dota 2 - Vandamguy - 09-27-2011
Demigod was.alright i guess not enough champs and that sniper angel guy was god tier
