To many shitty MOBAs coming out. I expect this genre to die much like the music game one did.

The MOBA genre is huge in the east, like to the point where the world championships bring out hundreds of thousands of viewers.

Yeah, but only a couple MOBA games pull those numbers. Much like StarCraft, while there may be a sea of other titles in the same genre there are only a couple that are actually competitive. However MOBA is seeing the same kind of explosion that zombie and music games did. Due to the success of League of Legends you're seeing a bunch of companies diving into the genre thinking they can make a quick buck. -blam!-ing seriouly, we're having a DC MOBA that's coming out that's using a reskinned Dominion map from LoL, a LOTR one coming out, a chinese one that pretty much said "fuck copyrights!" and uses Summoners Rift and reskinned all of the LoL champions to look like characters from various different IPs (shrek, naruto, disney, etc.) and a dozen other half assed pieces of crap all coming out in rapid succession. This sudden explosion of half assed games that are clearly in it to as I said before, make a quick buck, will likely make the genre go the way of Guitar Hero.

The only MOBAs out that I know of are League of Legends and DOTA 2, and soon to be Dawngate. Just because you don't like the MOBA genre doesn't mean that it's shitty, it's quite the opposite. League of Legends and DOTA 2 are constantly going back or forth on being the most played game [b]ever[/b]. The MOBA genre isn't dying, it's only becoming larger.
