What MOBA?

So am level 30 something now, cant wait for ranked as some of the games I've played in have been shocking! Am assuming once it's ranked people will pick proper team compositions and have a bit more of a clue?
 
No :p

What you get instead (mainly) is everyone rushing to pick a carry as they are the "best" and they are sure they will carry you to glory. They tend not to.

You mostly find the team with someone sensible enough to pick a support and a real well balanced team wins in pub ranked but it's luck of the draw as to whether you get it. If you play support well you can increase your chances by being the one who picks a support and does a job for the team.
 
I gave LoL a try but couldn't really make my mind up as to why it's so popular.

I understand what it is trying to do in terms of the game mechanics, but think that PvP in guildwars 2 or RvR in DAoC is/was much more satisfying.

Personally I think something like the upcoming camelot unchained will be epic.

Shame none of those games you mentioned are MOBAs, he never asked for recommendations for MMOs.

I was really hoping this wasn't true but my first 4 ranked games have all been the same. I had first pick, grab Mirana, then someone picks Rikki and lanes with me. Legion commander in the jungle, Chaos thingy bot then the int arrow person mid. Actually managed to win because the other team were awful but still. Surely at some point it stops being all carry????
 
I'm quite enjoying Heroes of the Storm at the moment, This weekend all characters will be playable.

Definately worth doing refer a friend on it if you are new to it. Less of a learning curve than the other MOBA's.

It's not to everyone's taste though, I prefer the talent point system over the stat and item shop system.

No it doesn't change.

You do get the odd sensible change but mostly not. To e fair if you pick the right carry and are good enough you will win regardless of your team (I had that period tear or so ago in low 2k when I played Lycan) but mostly sensible pick team wins.

I found picking a carry who can still kill well (as an example a Lion with late game Dagon and refresher is hilarious for it) so you can support but if your carries struggle you can pitch in is the best way to get on.
 
Talking about bad games :p

In the death throes of a game with an Oracle support who won't support, a Fire Ember carry who is 3/15 (partly because Pudge ganks from no support) and AM who tossed his toys out the pram and won't leave the jungle.

Got to love the MOBA community :p
 
Completed my 10 matchmaking games and got 2710. Last few games have been a lot better, even had 2 supports in my final game!
 
Been playing quite a lot of DOTA 2, one thing I can't work out though. I seem to get quite a lot of random drops but other than clicking on every hero and checking how do I tell who has what?
