25) DOTA 2

The Gamescom DOTA 2 trailer asks “What does a hero need?” and gives three answers: Strength, Speed, and Wisdom.

In DOTA 2, you must pick a champion along with four other players. Then, divide into lanes and try to destroy the other team’s base. Each champion comes with their own unique skills and talents to provide players with a diverse range of play styles.

This game has a fairly steep learning curve and its playerbase is infamous for being at least as toxic as League of Legends’ players. But at the end of the day, the game is a fun and challenging hobby that any MOBA fan can get into with little trouble.

Aw, man, team fights for days!
