Quite glad to see a few of these coming out/are out:

I've pumped hours into DOTA/HON but prefer console gaming. MOBAs have typically had a very steep learning curve but extremely addictive due to variety of heroes/builds/strategies.


What is a MOBA?

SMITE

some gameplay:

Out a now! Free to play. Build up points to buy new heroes or straight out buy all heroes for £25. Third person perspective which is a nice change - still getting use to it!

Few beginner things they've done such as auto buy items and a decent tutorial makes it user friendly. Also nice to see some different modes like arena and joust (3v3 instead of 5v5).

PARAGON

gameplay trailer:


Made by EPIC games and uses the latest Unreal Engine so it looks fantastic.
Currently closed BETA which you can access by buying the Foundation Pack for £15. Will be free when it comes out in summer.

BATTLEBORN

First person perspective:


Made by Gearbox. Open beta next week, Out summer. Lots of different modes, incursion mode mimics a MOBA.

These games are all heavily team base. Anyone interested?
I plan to play/try them all. Currently enjoying SMITE.

I suppose I should add that it's not pay to win.
The points are spent in unlocking heroes and cosmetics.

Suprised at lack of interest especially as these are FREE games!

SMITE has been out on PC for years so it's very well polished.

EDIT battleborn isn't!

I play Smite a lot. Awesome game. Coming from Xbox ONE though, the standard of players just isn't there yet on PS4. I'm getting some ridiculous scores at the moment; 43-1 as Rama on Clash is my best. And I'm average at best :indeed:

If anyone wants any pointers, just ask.

I'm getting good scores but not that good!
I think I'm getting matched now so games are a bit more tactical. That or ps4 players are understanding the objectives of a moba.

Gotta say I love the variety. Arena and clash are brilliant!

I've switched auto buy off now. At the moment loving bellona. Some of the moves are hilarious like hercules ultimate.

Tried looking up bellona builds but smitefire ones are well out of date. YouTube helping a bit. Where do you look??
 
Smitefire, though I haven't looked since before Season 3 started so I'm a bit behind on changes. Once you understand all the items, published builds become less important as you'll tend to just build to suit your play style and situation.

Can't really help with advice for Bellona as Warriors aren't really my thing. Only one I've spent much time with is Ravana, and he's very different to the others.

Yeah I've been looking on there past few days. The authors have started updating their guides for season 3.

Getting accustomed to the items.

Have moved on to playing as nemesis who is great fun though squishy. Just got chac who seems more technical.

New patch coming out in a few days for 60 fps!
 
I'm surprised your wife gives you any time to play all these games puki!! ;)

Hahaha I still have to whisper....
Where've you been?
Are you not back from your deployment?

Smite is a good game. I think brown pants should get Smite.

I'll look in to it if you think it's that good matey, it would be good to get online with everyone again! I've been a very busy boy, renovating the house, work, stuff... and I'm due to deploy once again very soon, albeit just for a few weeks so nothing drastic. I think I need to go on the dole or something, I'm much more suited to that lifestyle.
 
Interested to hear how these games pan out. Interested in Paragon, Battleborn doesn't really grab me from the trailers though.

People are overlooking smite. Remember it's been out on pc for years so it's well balanced. I've already pumped hours into it. Now running at 60 fps and it's out now.

There's a handful of us playing it so easy to put a team together.

Hate to say it, but the visuals and aesthetic of Smite is just a big nope for me, likewise the Gearbox Borderlands aesthetic....think I burned out on Borderlands :P Shame the feedback on Paragon isn't great...
