the pros and cons of M.O.B.A games
let us look at some cons. There are a number of features found in these games that can be off-putting to some. The first con is that while the game design is simple, the constant action and sheer number of heroes available can make it rough for new players to acclimate themselves to the game. The sheer number of options and the constant ebb and flow of the matches can be overwhelming to new players. Another con is that moba games are not for the casual player. Sure, a battle can be played in anywhere from twenty to forty minutes, but most moba players are dedicated and know their favorite heroes in and out. A casual gamer cannot expect to LOG IN occasionally and be able to be competitive. It takes constant gameplay to become familiar with the abilities and playing style of all the various heroes and how best to combat them during a match. This is further compounded by being forced to play on a team and leads us to the biggest con, the other players.
While there are quite a few players willing to help rookies learn the ropes, the sad fact is that many moba players are hyper-competitive and will rain down invectives on you for poor play. Being constantly told that "you suck" or "learn how to play the game" isn't conducive for new players unfamiliar with moba games sticking around. my friend normally doesnt play moba games, but he got the CHANCE to try out the Infinite Crisis beta.he was stoked as he loveed the DC universe and quickly jumped into the action. Sadly, his lack of experience showed as he was constantly trounced and his teammates raging at him for his lack of skills. Even after explaining that he was new to the game, the abuse didn't stop. The vast majority of matches that he playered followed the same pattern, with only a few instances of other players being tolerant and helping him out to understand the game better. Having to be part of a team is nerve-wracking for new players as nobody wants to be the weakest link. Fortunately, a new moba game in development, Core Masters, is allowing for gamers to play solo in a deathmatch mode. Hopefully, this mode will catch on and make its way to other games.
All in all, moba games have features that will appeal to some gamers but will turn of others. The pros of mobas include features such as the basic design, nonstop action, lots of strategy, and plenty of hero choices. The cons range from being overwhelming to new players to not being casual-friendly to an unforgiving community. Still, moba games have proven their viability and have staked a strong presence in the online gaming world. Even Blizzard, who one could say served as the foundation of the genre, if finally entering the MARKET with their own Heroes of the Storm.
