I don't understand why MOBAs are so popular when they're so mechanically dense and every game takes forever to play.

developers should remove deathmatch and team deathmatch so people are forced to actually play objective game modes

Then people will just play team deathmatch in those modes and call you a human being and vote you off the team if you actually grab the flag or whatever.

Chess is popular. As a thought experiment, try thinking of Dota 2 and League of Legends as "Chess 2".

There should be a team survival mode where you have to save the other team from dying.

I listened to David Sirloin talk about Heroes of the Storm on his podcast, and well, I've never played a moba but the blizzard one sounds less AIDSy.

Like it takes 20 minutes to play and there are less reasons to hate everyone on your team (but people still do because of moba culture according to sirloin)

I've played the blizzard MOBA because the only games my friends play are MOBAs and it's still bad. There's levelling but it's a shared XP pool and a rubber band mechanic on whichever team has a lower level so no matter how well you're doing both sides will be equal in power until the last 2 minutes when the objective pops and then somebody wins almost randomly. It's awful
