Did you know Riot Games was the first to use the term "MOBA"?
While Valve calls DOTA an "Action Real Time Strategy" (ARTS), and Blizzard calls Heroes of the Storm a "Hero Brawler"

It may have been first but dota was the more popular and one game does not a genre make

No, I meant that when I was playing TFT and RoC, games that would be considered "MOBA" or "Dota clone" such as EotA, Hosk, ToB, Smota, Personas etcetc came under the genre AoS I'm pretty sure
Scrimshäw1 voteswut,
the entire genre started with Aeon of Strife, which was made like 6 years before DOTA. DOTA didn't even come along until someone recreated Aeon of Strife in Warcraft III and called it DOTA, before Guinsoo gave up on the project and valve acquired the copyright to the name and making their own version
