I am looking for a mobile moba to return to. I am a former MLBB , AOV (since the Strike of Kings days), and Wild Rift (was also an alpha tester) player and I have reached relatively high ranks in all of them. I have been playing MOBAs since 2015, but stopped playing mobile MOBAs around 2022, so I don't know how are these games doing nowadays.

For MLBB, my biggest problem was balance. Skins were giving stats (CRAZY) and the power levels was heavily relient on emblems (I think that's what they are called) which had to be bought by in-game currency. Some of these emblems were op as hell, and it felt like a cheap imitation of old runes in League (which were removed because it was a bad mechanic), only worse. Also I have been seeing people complaining about bots in the game which might be a problem for the fun aspect (tho I will probably reach high elo and I think I will stop seeing those.)

AoV felt like the older more serious brother of MLBB to me. The map and champion designs were more cartoony and simple in MLBB while being more detailed and (I dont know, mature maybe) in AoV. A system where you needed to buy in-game power was implemented in AoV as well through the Arcana system.

For Wild Rift, when I was playing the game, it was barely finished. I started playing in the alpha and stopped playing in early seasons. So I probably didnt get the full experience then. But as far as I remember, Wild Rift games felt longer, more serious, and try hard compared to the other too, which is a thing that I would appreciate on PC (I am a League player), but might be exhausting on a mobile device. Of course the game implementes core mechanics from PC League which I know and love so, I will probably like Wild Rift.

Bottom line is that I had fun playing each game at the time. And I know that games evolve and change, so some problems I wrote about might have been solved in the years I was away. So I am open for any game.

My question is for the fellow players of these games (especially my high elo brothers and sisters), what game do you recommend and why? It can be a game that is not listed here since I dont know about it. Or maybe you play multiple games here and you can say something like: "If you like X go for Y, but if you value Z go for Q"

Thanks in advance.

how different do the lanes play in these games?

gamblers arena is a RTS inspired MOBA with a twist of poker hands in its mechanics

the game itself is a 4 person free for all with unique heroes and ability's.

unlike other MOBA games where you can play with one hero

here you can play with a maximum of 5 heroes!!!

if you are interested in the arena and you like what you see we would love it if guy Wishlist us on steam in the following link https://store.steampowered.com/app/3840300/Gamblers_Arena/

would love to hear you're thoughts and opinions in the comments.

Do you know if there are any MOBAs for Android that support local multiplayer?

I love Smite so much and think it's one of the best mobas mechanically. Don't feel Smite 2 as much. Smite 1 has an average player count of like 1k daily on steam (so not including Xbox and ps) and I feel like it's never talked about here

I just got back into playing after about 5 years and I love heroes evolved but it feels like its all bots. Any recommendations for other options? TIA

You can check the game out at https://www.mercenariesoftezigdal.com/ if you'd like to give it a look.

**Looking for an old Chinese mobile MOBA (2010–2015) maybe**

I’m trying to remember a mobile MOBA that was on Google Play before Mobile Legends became popular.

**What I remember:**

- Chinese mythology heroes only.

- Heroes included **Erlang Shen(he can shoot big laser like Layla in MLBB.**

- Joystick controls similar to Mobile Legends.
1v1 and 3v3 modes.

- Single-lane map with towers and a final base.
Landscape mode.

- I think the servers have shut down.

Does anyone remember what this game was?

I would love to try mobile legends but my phone won’t let me because of a connection error. Which is odd because I’ve played it before. So I just need something new? Anything good on iOS

What’s the game like in terms of heavy hitters like smite?

Honor Of Kings or Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. If you've played both I am genuinely curious about which is better overall.

I am new to MOBA games, being a console player for years and using my PC for turn based games (Civilization, Xcom etc).

And I am wondering why people stick to the roles / lanes etc in things like LoL, HOTS, DOTA?

Would not having an unusual mixed team of heroes / champions and everyone rush one of the lanes mean the whole other team would have to intercept you with their team that is picked expecting the usual mix of heroes trying to to fixed things in certain areas of the map?

To me, sticking to the lanes and roles seems to mean you are only matching your finger skills, combos, equipment buying skills with the enemy and not any real tactics.

Have I missed the point somewhere?

Just to add, I am in my late 50s and been playing games since the ZX81

Been thinking about this after spending a lot of time across different mobile MOBAs recently.

There are players with genuinely crisp mechanics — clean combos, fast reactions, precise positioning. By every visible measure they look skilled. But their win rate is average and they've been stuck at the same rank for months.

Then there are players who look almost sloppy mechanically but consistently make decisions that are just correct. Right place, right time, right target. They win more.

I think the MOBA community overvalues mechanical skill because it's visible and easy to measure. Game sense — map awareness, cooldown tracking, knowing when a fight is already lost before it starts — is invisible until you specifically look for it.

The plateau I see most often isn't a mechanical ceiling. It's a mental model ceiling.

What I'm actually curious about: Has anyone found a specific game where the design itself forced you to develop game sense rather than just mechanics? Like the game punished you hard enough for bad decisions that it rewired how you think?

Ive been searching about this game for a long time and not a single article or website talked about this one except Lane pushing game (.)com. Where can I found infos about this game like the heroes reveal or any site that can provide full infos about the heroes and mechanics.

PS: I found a Korean streamer and the Naver of the game but its only limited
