Multiplayer online battle arenas, or MOBAs, are a genre of video games where players compete in teams to achieve specific objectives. Typically, two teams of players control individual characters, known as champions or heroes, each with unique abilities. The main goal is often to destroy the opposing team's base while defending one's own. Games in this genre usually take place on a map divided into lanes, with players battling against each other and computer-controlled units called minions. Popular examples of MOBAs include League of Legends and Dota 2, which have large communities and competitive scenes.
