That’s some good data! I’m mostly interested in filtering by Linux support and latency/accuracy measurements. Some of them are very helpful, thank you!

If you want to try a simpler MOBA, try Heroes of the Storm. The game does not get any love from Blizzard anymore, but out of all the MOBA’s I know, it has the least minimal knowledge required to play.

MOBA as a genre didn’t come from WC3. There were quite a lot of predecessors to DotA, both in WC3 itself and in first StarCraft, namely Aeon of Strife is believed to be the first popular MOBA custom map out there.

Blizzard didn’t decide that quirks of WC3 engine are dumb. Yes, they wanted to make a simpler MOBA, but the main reason for lack of funny stuff from WC3 is that they used Galaxy engine for the game, the same one StarCraft 2 was built upon.

And HotS feels less complex not because of Galaxy’s vs WC3’s quirks (the former has plenty, too), but because of lack of gold and shop, shared experience and an actual tutorial at the beginning of the game.

Laughs in WarCraft III: Reforged

Did they play through genocide? If not, then you can play it yourself for an extra bit of content and the banger music it provides.

Ah, sadness…

But behold, cramped area!

Good is an incredibly subjective term. May be you can try Control. Or, if you’re into rythm games and metal, I’d recommend Metal: Hellsinger.

Just played some SC2. I think you meant that Diablo servers are down, not Battle.net.

Nice! Wanted to jump into the series for some time now, looks like a good time to finally do it.
