Just admit it, you played a moba.

Maybe you weren't spergy enough to play the original DoTA, maybe you're a casual and play Heroes of Newerth. Or maybe you've logged a couple of hours in League of Legends. Whatever it may be, you've realized the error in your ways and you want to reform.

Welcome to the MOBA Refugee Zone ™.

This thread is for all those lost hours you'll never get back. It's about the lovely communities that always show up. It's about bronies and how they're horrible people.

Anyway, I just wanna mention that MOBAs have almost become the new WoW. It seems like every Tom, Dick, and Larry wants to make a drat moba these days. Even Valve made a moba for some reason. I thought they liked their customers, but apparently not.

I haven't just played "a moba." I have played all the mobas. I don't value my time enough, I think.

do we get sobriety tokens for however many days it has been since we last played a moba? I think a physical representation of my struggle would really help tia

your free time can be a token now that you've most likely explored past the moba that haunted your mind and your computer

your wallet can also be a token since now you will not waste money on digital pixel which make your characters "pretty"

It'd be rad as gently caress if MvM had moba mode.

My girlfriend wants to play one should she play dota lol or one of the even worse ones?

Transcending history, and the world, a tale of MS Paint and animes, endlessly retold.
If you put her onto the worst one you'll either get her out of mobas real quick or realize she has bad taste so there's that angle
