    I was interested until I heard that it’s a shooter/moba.

    when will studios figure out that moba (like battle royale) is a mode not a genre? Congratulations, you made a shooter with only one mode and probably less than 10 maps.

    Remember when unreal tournament shipped with literally hundreds of maps on disk back in 1999? Peperage Farm remembers.

      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”.
