jumping into a new type of multiplayer
game is tough but thankfully we are here
to help enemies
welcome to watchmojo.com and in
conjunction with smite developer hi-rez
studios we’re bringing you the top 10
MOBA
you should know you’re right tower
unlike our normal top 10 lists this
isn’t necessarily a top 10 countdown as
much as an introductory guide these are
the terms that you should know before
you start playing a MOBA game especially
if you plan on working with a team of
other experienced players number 10 late
top mid Bop minions have spawned knowing
these terms is essential since the lanes
are the bread and butter of any MOBA
game the lanes consist of the three
paths that lead to each team’s base many
players will designate which lane they
wish to fight in with top mid and bot or
left mid and right depending on which
game you’re playing and where they
appear on the mini-map minions or creeps
will spawn at either team’s base and
funnel along these paths so players Lane
when they fight in these zones to keep
the lane secure and gain experience a
twisted Baja most game variations have
three paths but you may play on some
maps that have only one
number nine last hitting here is a
technique that can be useful for earning
gold and experience quickly last hitting
is integral to farming or the killing of
low-level enemies in order to quickly
cash in the technique involves not Auto
attacking the enemy creeps but having
your minions do most of the damage then
when the time is right hit the enemy
creep with one final blow
scoring the kill and earning a reward
cheap as this may seem this will quickly
boost your stats and give you the
necessary buffs for later in the fight
number eight diving a high-risk
high-reward maneuver diving is an
awesome skill to have if you don’t
completely suck at doing it towers are a
primary objective but they are tough and
can kill players quickly your enemy
might think he’s safe under his own
Tower right wrong you chase after them
in a daring assault and dive into the
towers deadly range get the kill and
then get out fast but don’t get carried
away as the towers are still very very
deadly
number seven feed or fit when this
happens you may be playing with someone
that is having a really bad day when a
player is fed it means that the players
champion is gaining a large amount of
kills from one particular player
basically if a weaker foe keeps taking
on a stronger counterpart and keeps
dying the winner keeps getting stronger
hence the weaker player is feeding him
kills if you are lucky enough to be fed
you can take full control of the
battlefield it’s a vicious cycle number
six carry when it comes to MOBA games
the term carry actually has multiple
meanings the first meeting identifies a
type of hero that has the potential to
be a powerhouse later in the game this
hero can often become the primary damage
dealer and takes over the lanes with
ease some heroes or champions have more
carry potential in this sense the second
meeting is more general a strong
character can often carry a team to
victory
due to their powerful skills and
outstanding stats it’s good if you’re
carrying it’s bad if you’re being
carried number five
jungle or jungling if you don’t feel
like leveling up in the lanes you can
always choose the jungle the jungle is
the dense forested areas between the
lanes that litter the map where
visibility is often restricted making
the potential for surprise attacks all
the greater
when a player says that he or she is
jungling they are venturing into the
jungle to kill the native monsters
within to gain experience and buffs
there are also junglers which are heroes
or champions designed for this kind of
strategy specifically number 4 turret
and tower
radiance middle tower is being attacked
turrets or towers depending on which
game you’re playing are the main
defenses protecting your base along the
lanes in order for your minions to
continue into the enemy base allied
champions need to push the lane and take
out the turrets and enemies in their
specific Lane to reach the base the main
reason why turrets are such a helpful
tool or pain in the ass is because with
every successful hit landed by the tower
the damage they deal to the target
character is increased clever players
can use the turrets to their advantage
to kill enemy champions or seek refuge
from attack number 3 am ia missing no
this does not mean afk or away from
keyboard if you hear this term it means
to be on alert
players will send the missing or m.i.a
message if the enemies they’re dealing
with have disappeared or are no longer
in their Lane be careful right this is
important news as you don’t want to be
caught off guard by enemy champions or
heroes creeping around the jungle or
down the river depending on which map
you’re playing on
if you lose sight of your target don’t
be afraid to let your team know making
sure your whole team can keep track of
where the enemy is at all times is key
to victory number 2 gank
while ganking someone basically means
scoring a kill calling out gank refers
to a specific strategy one that is
incredibly useful in a pinch when one of
your teammates calls out for gank in
their lane they want someone to come
from behind enemy lines and take out the
opposing player or players typically
this is a job for an assassin hero who
could easily turn the tide of a battle I
was the last of my kind sometimes
another ally can trap enemy heroes in a
pincer formation so they can eliminate
them quickly before we unveil our last
term here are a few honorable mentions
number one alt this is your final form
just kidding
ultra furs to your ultimate attack this
skill is the last one you get access to
and is integral when fighting other
heroes your ultimate which changes from
hero to hero is your ace in the hole
whether it’s a powerful area of effect
stun or a massive burst of damage these
skills can easily switch the flow of a
fight
the trade-off though is that they have
long cooldowns so use them wisely
alternatively using your alt at the
wrong time or flat-out missing is a
major faux pas that skilled enemies will
surely take advantage of
do you agree with our list what do you
think is the most necessary MOBA term
