I'm a VERY new MOBA player and have about 50 hours in Predecessor. Never played Dota, League, etc. I've been in the playtest for months now but only played a few matches where I was still confused as all hell in terms of how to play whatever lane I was supposed to be in, what upgrades to choose for character, when to push up, etc. I did the tutorial in game too. Are there any good videos or guides for someone new like me for this game?
Aside from the tutorial, the in game shop lets you select from upvoted builds that players have put together. This lets you easily follow the meta by just going to browse and picking one of the top 3 for your character to try.
The overall objective is easy, kill enemies, kill the minions, take the larger minions out, and push your lane up until you get to their base before they get to yours. Level up, build your character up, participate in team fights, and constantly try to farm minions to out level opponents.
The best way to learn a moba is just to play non stop for a couple hundred hours. Learn what characters do, how to avoid it, what synergies work together, etc. Watch someone good at the game play on YT with a character you like, watch guides on those characters too.
There is no shortcut. The meme in dota 2 is the first 1000 hours is the tutorial… except that's not a meme. It is true. The same for league.
The good news is once you learn one moba you can then easily jump into others.
Last bits of info:
-Do not engage with other players verbally or via typing. Either pre mute before queue or mute the second someone is toxic. DO NOT respond to them. You will tilt them immediately and they will throw the game.
-There is no reward the more and more you play. These games are best as you're learning, low elo, and having a close fought win. Once you play enough even if you win you feel like you lost. MOBAs are the biggest waste of your time in gaming.
very melee focus hero. pretty interesting.
