There is a community forming right now that aims to write a MOBA from scratch, mostly fueled due to the Vanguard incident on Linux. I am not affiliated with the project, but wanted to raise attention to it (as I am currently on cold League turkey since a month).

The announcement post on rEdDiT: https://old.reddit.com/r/opensourcegames/comments/1cz3212/open_source_league_of_legends_an_attempt/

    I’m not a game dev, I’m a web dev. I’ve never made anything more complicated game-wise than 2d fishing animation games

    Well… At least the dev is honest about it being just for fun… I’ll give it 2 months before it’s a dead project. There is literally no way someone that has zero gamedev experience can remake a multi-million dollar game.

    “It’s just a moba, how hard can it be?”

    Yeah, I get the feeling they might be underestimating the amount of work required. Especially if they want to use something like GDScript. Sure, it’s just a wee hobby project but I hope that people on Reddit and Lemmy don’t harass them about not doing things fast or well enough… Don’t really see it going anywhere beyond being a learning experience for the author.

    I wouldn’t say in the works, this is one person who’s a web developer posting on Reddit about an idea. In the works usually tells me they’re already working on the project, not trying to find people to help start it. GL to them I guess.

    It sounds cool but LoL wasn’t the only MOBA working on Linux.
