Moba's are usually f2p. So just charging for this game in the first place is strange.

Can't believe how many people are arguing with you? The rest of the world is calling it a moba which it is...
-
I swear, theyll argue anything. I got one guy trying to convince me 1+1 doesn't equal 2. It's insane.

Terrence howard?
-
My brain hurts
-
Do you know what a Moba is?
-
-
Then you would know that Overwatch is not a Moba.

Multi-player Online Battle Arena. Served ya.

Read this post, please https://m.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/3rq3y9/can_people_stop_calling_this_game_a_moba/

Already read that sad rant. He's wrong.
-
Mobas are, but shooters usually aren't. Even TF2, the only other notable game in the genre, wasn't free until a few years later.
-
It's a first person shooter moba. Like Smite.
-
No, it's not a moba. There are no moba mechanics in the game. The only thing that remotely resembles mechanics is the heroes, but other than that it is not at all a moba. Overwatch is no more a moba than team fortress 2 is.

MOBA: Multi-player Online Battle Arena. Get off your high horse. You just got punked.
-
So literally any game with a competitive multiplayer is a moba? Ok, then bf, CoD, doom, titanfall, etc, should all be free too!
-
Nope, those don't have moba mechanics.
-
Moba mechanics? But as you said, moba stands for multiplayer online (they all have online multiplayer) battle arena (they all have a limited space to fight in) so by that definition, all games with competitive multiplayer are moba's.
-
It's a general term. Needs moba mechanics to be a moba.

Edited by Vox Mortuis: 5/11/2016 3:36:05 PMMoba mechanics? You mean like creeps and towers? And symmetrical maps? Overwatch doesn't have those.
-
Those are dota and LoL mechanics. Moba mechanics are more general. Like heroes and ultimates, etc.
-
Dota, LoL and Smite, all moba's. A hero shooter is not a moba.
-
But there are skills and linear progression. Traits of a moba
-
There are skills and linear progression in a lot of games, doesn't make them moba's.
