I was interested until I heard that it's a shooter/moba.

when will studios figure out that moba (like battle royale) is a mode not a genre? Congratulations, you made a shooter with only one mode and probably less than 10 maps.

Remember when unreal tournament shipped with literally hundreds of maps on disk back in 1999? Peperage Farm remembers.

I’m not even a moba guy, but I’ve tried enough to know it’s very much so it’s own genre. Is there a single game that has a “moba mode”?

Seriously, I’m not trying to be an ass, but it’s like if you said “rts is a mode and not a genre”.

I was going through my own comment history, sorted by "controversial", and found this. Wish I saw it at the time it was relevant, we could have had a conversation about this.

I stand by what I said, but I might not have said it very well.

There's no reason why League of Legends could not have a "capture the flag" or "king of the hill" mode. There's no reason why DOTA2 could not have a deathmatch mode. There's no reason why Super Monday Night Combat couldn't have any of these. And there's no reason why Halo or Unreal or Call of Duty could not have a MOBA mode.

The fact that nobody has done it is not evidence that it cannot be done.
