What is a MOBA?
A MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) is a team strategy game: two teams of champions push lanes toward each other's base.

How it works
Each player controls one champion, levels up during the match and buys items with gold earned in it, so every match starts from zero. Most MOBAs are free and sell champions and cosmetic items.
