One of the main things you’ll learn when playing MOBA games is the aspect of teamwork and pretty much every single gamer across the world will agree that in a competitive environment, teamwork takes priority over all else. You can take a team of extremely talented players but if they don’t have good synergy and coordination with each other then they’re bound to crumble but if you take a team of players that isn’t as skilled in terms of mechanics but has cohesive play, that team will be able to trample their opposition with ease and as long as you play MOBAs regularly, you’re certain to learn how to work with your team.

As long as you’re playing MOBAs on a fairly regular basis, you’ll improve your mechanics by quite a bit as well. This is because most, if not all, characters in these games have some fairly complex designs and the combos you need to pull off with them require a lot of precise aim and sometimes precise timing as well. For instance, Azir in League of Legends is a character that you simply cannot utilize to fullest potential unless you can’t time his ability combos right. Fortunately though, simply playing these characters from time to time basically ensures that your mechanics such as timing, aiming and such will improve tremendously.

There’s no doubting the fact that when it comes to most game genres like FPS, MMOs, RPGs, RTSes and such, map awareness can make or break how well you perform and thankfully, the emphasis MOBAs put on proper awareness makes it so that players develop this skill as well. Basically whenever you’re playing a MOBA you constantly have to look at the map to watch out for missing enemies, track what your foes are doing and even warn your comrades if they’re about to get in trouble so you end up developing a habit of looking at the map every few seconds to make sure that everything goes well and this is a trait that will help you greatly in nearly every other game you ever play.

Last but certainly not least, you’ll develop confidence. In a MOBA, you’ll often run into situations where you simply have to make a big play in order to get your team ahead and hopefully secure a victory. Running into such situations so often will give players the ability and the skills to make clutch plays whenever needed and clutch plays are exactly what will get you far in most video games.

All said and done, the point we want to make is that playing MOBA games is not only great fun but also improves your gaming skills as well so we recommend that you try a few of them out whenever you can.
