MOBAs, or multiplayer online battle arenas, pit two teams against each other on a lane-based map with the goal of destroying the enemy's base. Players each control a single hero with unique abilities, earning gold and experience to grow stronger as matches unfold. Teamwork, map awareness, and coordinated fights define success in this fiercely competitive genre. With 264 games tracked on GameScrobbler, including Dota 2, Smite, and Deadlock, the genre spans everything from established esports staples to fresh experiments.
