[QUOTE=wraithcat;36284293]No it's not. A moba is team based instanced ARPG

RTS = real time strategy - have to balance economy as well as multiple unit control
RTT = economy is generally removed and a simplified system is added in (either unit call ins or units are predefined)
RPG = long overarching game with character development and low player in game skill required (out of game knowledge needs to be up though) with generaly at least some out of combat skills
arpg = longer character growth game with high player action impact and very little plot
MOBA = single unit control, team based, short term instance growth.[/QUOTE]

That's a terrible name for the genre. It bears no likeness to RTSes aside from the perspective.

Haha

gonna laugh my ass off at how hard this will be to play on a controller

RTS stands for Real Time Strategy

MOBA games are real time and employ lots of strategy

Strategy implies control over a multitude of units.

I mean some FPS games require strategy, but that doesn't make them an RTS.

Hopefully it doesn't require much teamwork/game knowledge or it will be rage inducing to play with others

[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;36285731]I wonder if it will be dumbed down so console players can handle it.[/QUOTE]
You know, This might come as a shock, But not all console players are idiots.

Then WB games decided that they shouldn't develop F.E.A.R. 3, then handed to Sucky ass day 1 so they can ruin it

sigh a great fucking way to ruin one of my most favorite series, thanks warner bros.......

or did monolith decide not to work on F.E.A.R.? i think i'm retarded for not knowing

[nikomo]

I can't even bloody imagine the controls.

Locked camera, left stick to move, d-pad for items, buttons for normal farm moves/auto attacks/hold etc., triggers for big-hitters (ulti etc.)?

[Chicken_Chaser]

Give me another LOTR RTS pleeeeeeease.
