Title. Which MOBAs do you guys play? Also, feel free to post your usernames for those games if you ever need people to play with.

 

I've been playing Smite since the end of 2013 (probably my favorite of the MOBAs I've played), and have been playing Heroes of the Storm since I got access to the closed beta. I have an account for League of Legends and I own a bunch of champions, but I haven't played in a few months. I used to play Heroes of Newerth as well, but I've been out of that game even longer than I have LoL. I haven't played DotA 2 much at all, though I probably should. Infinite Crisis (the DC comics MOBA) is pretty awesome too, I think it's much more fun than LoL, and the novelty value of playing as your favorite DC characters is too good.

Smite. 

[Bison]

Dota sometimes, League even less often.

Heyo!

 

So Roosterteeth sent me a code for early access to Smite on the Xbox One yesterday. Been playing it today, its fun! I'm terrible at it though. Well, terrible at getting kills(with Nu Wa of all Goddesses).

 

I'm an assist machine with her luckily. lololol

 

Guess I gotta get the hang of it.

I used to play LoL, but I dropped after S3, got super burnt out.

 

I play Smite sometimes. Usually I play Fenrir or Xbalanque as those are my best gods. But maybe it's because of my level, people seem to lack basic MOBA knowledge in that game. :/ Haven't played much in a while.

 

Played some HoN, DoTA All Stars, and Heroes of The Storm. 

 

But haven't played a game in any of them for a long time(Well I don't even think people still play All Stars anymore lol). They're too frustrating a lot of the time I find. You either need to play with friends for laughs, or people who you know that can actually play.

Do you play it on PC as well? I know that the Xbox and PC versions share the same Hi-Rez account, so you can use all of your unlocks on both versions. Nu Wa is pretty easy (one of the easiest mages in the game with ridiculous damage potential), just build raw power and CDR and use her ultimate when people retreat from team fights (it also reveals people who are stealthed). Shoes of the Magi, Obsidian Shard, Soul Reaver, Rod of Tahuti, and Divine Ruin are all good for her. For a sixth item, I usually go with a Pythagorem's Piece if there are other mages on the team, Bancroft's Talon if there aren't.

I think the third-person camera has something to do with it. They see footage of the game and don't realize it's a MOBA since it's not LoL or Dota-styled isometric. I'm not sure what level you are, but people lack basic MOBA knowledge even at level 30. People playing like stupid a**holes is what drove me away from Conquest and into playing Arena, Assault, and the MOTD.

Infinite Crisis is AMAZING. More people should play it. It actually brings something new to the moba genre.

Nah, just Xbox One. Though I'll take the Nu Wa advice and see if I can implement it. Cheers!

I've picked up LoL again after recruiting some friends into the mix, which has been fun trying (and failing) to teach them about all the crazy that goes on in that game. 

 

I gave Dota 2 a go once, but it and my laptop didn't quite see eye to eye, and I'll play some Smite once I've got access to my xbone again.

[LPPrince]

Turns out I was initially making the mistake of only treating Nu Wa's One as a movement speed increase+stealth. I forgot that it does damage and is great CC. lol

 

Started using it far more often as a CC and its worked wonders. Throw it out front or where you think enemies are going, send out the 2-3 combo, and people go down.

 

I'm not by any means fantastic yet as my K/D is usually even or negative, but I think I'm getting better.

 

Now I just need to figure out how to use the Item Builder. I'm still playing with the default set ups. 

 

To compare, here was my first win in Conquest the other day-

Nu Wa's 1 isn't any form of CC. It's a nuke and stealth mixed into one. Nu Wa's only forms of CC come from her passive (every 5th successful basic attack is a root) and her 2+3 combo for the exploding minions which stun people.

[RobRam10]

Got burned on LoL and DOTA, didn't like Infinite Crisis all that much.

Currently playing Heroes of the Storm and on rare ocassions Smite

I treat it as such. I throw it forward and enemies either attempt to avoid it(harassing them) or move around it where I need them to go. What I'm saying is I've been using it to sort of influence where I want enemy players to be so I can then 2-3 them. Though sometimes enemies get stuck in it and the 2-3 takes them down(or leaves them hanging for someone else to finish them up).

 

I'm still figuring things out, but that was my impression of what I've seen.

Multiplayer Online Battle Arena.

That's not crowd control. Crowd control is something that hinders the movement of the enemy team or otherwise stops them from performing some action. Stuns, roots, mezzes, disarms, etc, are all CC. Simple damage is not CC.

 

Nu Wa's 1 is useless for everything but wave clearing anyway.

[LPPrince]

Alright, alright fair play. My point is simply that I've been using it to control where the enemies I'm facing are going(making them move where I need them to). Its worked in that sense. In conjunction with other attacks, its improved my game.

I've been playing Heroes of the Storm since November when I got my alpha invite. I used to play LoL more, but I'm finding heroes to be more fun.

 

Plus I get to play as Raynor, who is one of my favourite characters in video games.

I played HoS from Nov-Jan. Illidan was one of my favorite heroes. He has a bit of a learning curve though.

[LPPrince]

I've got two free codes for the SMITE Beta on Xbox One if anyone is interested.

[Seraphim24]

I played Smite for awhile, honestly aside from that though whenever I play a MOBA all I see is a WC3 mod, and then I see WC3, and then I start watching WC3 cutscenes.

 

By that time I'm then either possibly playing some WoW for the nostalgia or just forgetting MOBAs exist entirely.

[o Ventus]

Aside from the genre, how does Smite remind you of WC3 or OG DotA at all?

[Seraphim24]

The super stylization which reminds me of LoL which reminds me of Dota or which reminds me of WC3 which just kind of reminds me of Blizzard generally.

 

 

 

It's always just so busy, there's a diamond on the helmet on the vertex of the crown of the this and the that.

 

Same for Arthas, the Pauldron has a skull which has teeth which has more things etc. etc.

I've been playing Heroes of the Storm quite a bit recently. Had a good run with Tychus, and since the rotation switched, I've been switching between Sylvanas, Jaina, and Tyrael.

None currently but soon...
