What is the moba game?

MOBA is the abbreviation of multiplayer online battle arena game, which is translated into multiplayer online tactical competitive game in Chinese.

Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA), also known as action real-time strategy (action RTS, art), or similar to DOTA(DOTA game). It is a video game)-even a subclass of strategy games (RTS).

MOBA games are more entertaining than traditional RTS games, and the requirements for operation are far lower than RTS games. In addition, many of these games are free games, attracting a large number of players who are difficult to adapt to the large-scale and demanding operation of RTS games. Because the player's operating level is no longer too high, this player group is much larger than the hardcore player group of traditional RTS games.

The word MOBA is still controversial in China. There is a view that the word MOBA can't distinguish multiplayer online tower-pushing games such as League of Legends from other types of multiplayer online games such as Call of Duty series and battlefield series.

But in China, multiplayer online tower-pushing games such as League of Legends are generally called "DOTA-like" or "cottage DOTA".

But in fact, this new game term has been accepted and used to a certain extent internationally. Take the entry "multiplayer online battle arena" in English Wikipedia as an example. The entry was born on 20 10 and has been published in many languages, but there is still no Chinese Wikipedia entry. This entry clearly defines the type and style of MOBA games.
