I'll start

MOBA
Multiplayer - unnecessary
Online - unnecessary
Battle - too generic
Arena - too generic

Call it a Hero Blitz genre. Or a Hero Push genre.
>>
But it's called ASSFAGGOTS
>>

LBOG?
Lane Based Objective Game?
>>
>>340604416
Lane is a great descriptor. But "-based objective game" says pretty much nothing. Hero Lane game would probably be best.

It's got what you are and what you're occupied with
>>
>>340603959
It used to be called ARTS - Action Real Time Strategy before Riot had to meddle into definitions

Creep killing competition?

>>340603959
DRPG and SRPG
It's called a dungeon crawler and turn based tactics. Stop making up shitty acronyms to pretend your weebshit games are something new when dungeon crawlers have been around since the '80s.

DO YOU MEAN "HERO BRAWLER"?
>>
>>340603959
We already have a better name for it, ASSFAGOOTS
>>
>>340605473
This.

Most of the people bashing MOBAs either haven't played them or can't into teamwork.
>>
>>340603959
or just ARPG or TacticalRPG since it is not an RTS and cannibalizes RPG genre a bit too much
>>
>>340603959
Roguelike, most of the non-free ones are nothing like rogue.
>>
>>340603959
RPG

As far as I can tell, the only thing these games have in common is that your numbers get bigger. Also, what game do you not play a role?
>>
>>340603959
What's up with the MOBA hate anyway? I personally love customizing my characters and playstyle differently every round and find most RTS games to be too stressful to enjoy
