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.
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”.
